This is my first Samsung device. I'm a hardcore Apple guy so I bought the Note 3 to try it out. There are features of this phone that aren't as good as the iPhone and vice versa. Right now I still like them both equally. I'm still not sure the Note 3 is as user friendly as the iPhone but it's growing on me. I do agree with a lot of the other reviews about too much Bloatware. I still have a few days left to keep trying it out and if it doesn't get better I'll return it.
I have been part of the Galaxy family since the Captivate. It is amazing the progress Galaxy phones have made in such a short time. The Note 3's fit, form an function is perfect for those on the go and for those who need to stay in touch, take notes and are somewhat artistic. The screen size is large, but not too large as I could never see myself going back to anything under 5". The S Pen makes the device; taking notes, photo mark-ups and just plain fun actions make this device stand out from the rest. There are so many things I could cover, 64gb expansion, camera features are just a few of the items that make this phone stand out from the rest. As long as Samsung keeps with this configuration/style of phone I will be a happy customer. The only way this could get any better would be to have an un-carrier branded phone so we could get the true potential out of this phone.
The Note 3 is far more advanced than similar smart phones. The large screen phablet has more features than similar size phones, and the phone has more features than the iPhone. Such a great buy that I bought one for me and one for my girlfriend.
What the heck was Samsung thinking by releasing such a big phone?

Well whoever came up with the idea, I hope they're getting paid big bucks. The Galaxy Note 3 is a fantastic smartphone. Every phone I've ever had was a Samsung and I have no plans on switching. The speed of the Note 3 is very impressive. Right from the start it boosted up extremely fast and set up 2 as very easy. Thank god Samsung loves their Micro SD - transferring my music and photos was unbelievably easy. Using the phone is very easy and there are two many features to count! A lot of people say that the features of Galaxies are gimmicky but I actually find most of them usefull. I also appreciate the fact that Samsung used faux leather plastic. While many people would've preferred metal, the faux leather keeps to phone lighter, more durable, and allows for features like micro SD and removing the insanely large battery. And it still looks very attractive. Speaking of, battery life is amazing. On a screen this large, vibrant, and sharp, I would've expected terrible battery life. I don't know how samsung does it, but battery life is the best I ever had on a phone and the phone is still incredibly thin.
Honestly, I do wish the phone was a little bit smaller, but it really doesn't matter all that much. The camera is fantastic on this phone too. It's incredibly sharp, even when zoomed in. The flash is also brighter in photos, but not as bright as the one on my previous phone, the Galaxy S3, when used as a flashlight.
And now, this one little feature changes the way you think about your phone completely - the handy little S Pen. There are so many features that it has, like screen write and pen window which I use most often. I never realized how much I would love this little guy; my friends are so suprised when I take it out. And when they see features like air view and multi window, they nearly pass out. The s pen makes using the phone easier for different tasks, and drawing or handwriting to text is also very accurate and simple.
The only thing I don't like about this phone is that it is a little buggy. Since I got it a little over a month ago, I've noticed a few bugs here and there but they should be fixed with Kitkat when we get it.
Overall, I highly recommend this phone to anyone who wants a fantastic phone or even just a big phone. The screen is sharp and vibrant, the phone is very fast and easy to use, and there are so many features. I know for a fact I missed a couple things in the review because there are just so many things to talk about!
This Note is amazing is the best phone out for now no other phone can compere to this one, the design is very good and the battery cover gives a touch or luxury. I give 5 starts and 2 thumbs up this phone the is really good I don't care people saying is phone or tablet?? I love my phone
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, battery life is good
This is the best cell phone I have ever used. The screen is beautiful to look at. It is big enough, easy to type on, takes great pictures, and is an absolute pleasure to use on a daily basis. I have used iPhone, Windows Phone 8, and Galaxy s3 and this phone is the clear winner out of every other phone I have ever used. More than enough ram and processing power. Battery life lasts all day. Call quality is great. It is not too heavy but also not too light.
