Note 3 Vs the world

I have had many cell phones over the years. Starting with car phones in the late eighties. This phone is by far the best phone I have had. I am an avid reader and have over 800 titles on my phone. Not too much into gaming and such but this is a great reader phone large screen that will orientate to your position. NAVI can not be beat for size sitting on the dash. GREAT GREAT PHONE.
Great hardware here. Battery life to aesthetics this device is top notch. I will no doubt be using this phone for some years.
The bloatware from Samsung is out of hand. They are poorly executed, duplicate existing Android functionality (unnecessary), and have a tendency to be in your face with notifications and hotkeys; all of which thoughtfully cannot be disabled.
A great shame since I'm sure the Samsungware's existence adds to its msrp.
Of the hundreds of times I've triggered their "S Finder" app, usually interrupting my work flow or a game, I have never once used the obtuse functionality. (Triggered by holding down menu key, which is dangerously close to your palms when holding the Note in landscape orientation.
Not all the Samsung software is bad. The S Pen suite is slick and dual app function is very useful. But I would gladly trade away both if I could have all the Samsung ware removed.
Pros: Lightweight, fast, battery life, beautiful
Cons: software, bloatware, price
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I've always loved samsung products but for me the note 3 takes the cake. The screen size and performance is what won it over for me, not to mention the s pen is great too. I would definitely recommend this phone to anyone who asked.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color
Cons: expensive
I would recommend this to a friend!

I love everything about this phone. I've been a Nexus user for many many years now and when Lg took over the line up and weakened the screen, I made the switch to the Note series phones due to the hardware and size. Had it for a few weeks now and not regretting the decision. The only negative is there are so many things you can use this machine for that is a little overwhelming. I know that's a pathetic thing to complain about but I am very tech savvy and it's a lot of features to learn. So keep up the good work making these amazing devices.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color
I would recommend this to a friend!

My Forever Phone !!!!

The Note 3 is the Best Smart Phone I've ever seen. I Started my Quest years ago with a Galaxy S3 then came the Galaxy Note a year later the Galaxy Note 2 and every Phone was Awesome never a Complaint. My wonderful wife upgraded me to the Galaxy 3 and it's a wow experience. She even knows how Fast this Device is. She has an S4. This is a Computer with a Built in Phone. Truly Galaxy won me over from BlackBerry years ago and it was a Smart Move to a Smart Phone. Galaxy is My Forever Phone. Thank You for Your Products.
I've been using samsung devices since 2009 and I tell you samsung makes the best devices on the planet I have used others but samsung is in a different galaxy the technology is unbelievable very user friendly and great customer support
I've owned Samsung products since my first non-camera flip phone with Sprint. With the exception of their never released i550, I've not been disappointed.
The day the Note 3 came out, I had to try it. So I took my Galaxy 4 in to the store and did some side by side tests that blew me away.
The first thing you notice is obviously the big gorgeous screen. It's amazing and if you're main phone use is social and media consumption, then you'll fall in love like I did. There isn't one better. There are bigger, but that this one packs 5.7" in such a small frame is amazing.
The speed of the processor is phenomenal. And the software is smooth and responsive. This is the only phone I've never added a launcher to.
My ONLY complaint is that there is not enough for the S-Pen to do. It's a great feature to Wow your friends, but you will rarely use it.
This product is by far the best phone on the market.

The note 3 I bought due to its large screen and awesome functionality. It has superceded my expectations and then some. This phone is unreal and unbelievable. It does everything an iPhone does and then some. It's great for emails Internet and everything else you need it to do. This phone has left me getting lost on it for hours at a time. It's a must buy for tech people and all people. If you buy you will not be disappointed.
