This is truly the best phone I've ever had from the first Galaxy to the Iphone to Optimus G Pro and back home to Samsung. It's very functional, extremely fast and gives me everything I could possibly want from a phone. The screen resolution is beautiful and the battery lasts me all day, even after several rounds of Candy Crush. I was initially concerned with the corners of the phone not having enough curve but that concern quickly went away when I started downloading my favorite apps and getting a feel of setting up my phone. That took little to no effort as the initial setup works great for me. It is the best phone on the market and despite the price, it is truly worth every penny.
The Samsung Galaxy note 3 AT&T Smartphone is far the best smartphone out there yet love the style of the phone new s pin is good love air view and camera good power to last all day long

I am on my second device since October 4th , and both of them are producing bleeps, morphing , crackling noises while on call . This seems to be a widespread issue affecting a lot GN3 nationwide based on multiple articles on the internet . Hope Sprint and Samsung fix this issue because besides this issue is a great phone.But why do you want a super phone that does everything but making clear calls.
Poor call quality cripples this otherwise excellent phone

When I received this phone I was initially very pleased. The display is gorgeous (full HD). The phone is incredibly fast when multitasking or playing demanding HD games. It comes with 3GB RAM and 32GB memory internal (25GB usable). It has an expansion slot that will take a 64GB card. The S pen feature is great to take notes while on a call. Sounds great right? It would be the best phone I ever had, except for the fact that the call quality is very poor. I know many people do a limited amount of voice calling on their phones so this may not be much of an issue for some. I use the phone for business so this problem makes the phone unusable for me. During calls you will hear popping noises, modulation, and sound distortion. I can't keep asking my clients to repeat everything they say. I replaced my original phone but the second phone has the same problem. I would rate this phone excellent if this problem could be resolved. But for now the phone is not usable.
On all voice calls I hear loud Chirps, digitized distortions, and garbled sentences. I have to ask the person I'm talking with to repeat what they are saying several times until I get to hear the complete sentence without words dropping, loud Chirps or dropped segments or high pitched squeals that have sometimes hurt my ear while holding it against the earpiece at medium volume. when using the phone to post on forums or fill in text boxes usually the text box will become magnified so huge on its own I cannot see the words I'm editing. Most times when posting on the Sprint website I touch the Edit box and the keyboard will open up and the web page scrolls all the way to the top and I have to pull it back down to the edit box. this anomaly happens in all 3 different browsers I have on the phone it just did it now 5 times and I almost gave up is the page kept scrolling to the top and all I wanted to do was a just where I was in the text edit box. The phone has many other issues problems that may or may never be fixed. Do your research and don't get stuck with the two year contract expensive phone that you might have to deal with all these issues until you give up and perhaps fork over more money to do a buy out of your contract. The phone does have some positive features such as a very bright screen and a very large screen. But as of now most of the apps I use on the phone installed by Samsung for Sprint don't function very well and not as I expected.all the calls I made today the call quality was horrible. I have a few days left until my mandatory exchange the passes, believe me I won't miss the date. do a Google search for "note 3 garbled voice or WiFi issues" and you will bring up multiple hi profile web sites verifying the defects with the note 3.

I became hooked on the Note series of phones with the original Note. It was a joy to use the large screen and stylus. I then upgraded to the Note 2 when it came out. It proved to be a worthy investment with faster operation & better screen. Now, the Note 3 has arrived. I wasn't too interested in upgraded again, but I'm so glad I did. The screen quality is outstanding. It is so nice that the screen size got bigger, but the overall device size stayed the same. The battery cover has a much better feel than the slippery smooth plastic used on the previous models. I, for one, appreciate Samsung's use of plastic. It helps keep the phones much lighter and resilient to impact. While I can appreciate the beauty of metal phones, I don't want to carry them daily. My phone is a tool for getting things done; not a fashion statement. Call quality is excellent and battery life is the best I've ever had in any mobile. I highly recommend the Note 3.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Lightweight, speaker on the bottom, sd card support, removable battery
Cons: too much carrier bloatware, no unlocked factory direct verison
