I got this phone as a christmas present and I love it!!! As a high school student, it is a fantastic phone for note taking (Perfect for the name of the phone yes?) and keeping everything on one device! The display is also unbelievable!!! I watch many TV shows and the screen is perfect for portable viewing!!! Overall, it's a great device and as a technophile, I love everything about it!
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, screen size, stylus
Cons: expensive
I would recommend this to a friend!

A very good phone BUT.....

I was attracted to this phone because of its big screen. I like it and many features that it has. There is one "deal breaker" for me. The Bluetooth. It connects to one device and one device only. I can't use it in the car with my headset. If I use the headset it disconnects from my car system. If I need to hear it on my car system it disconnects from my head set. In order to re-connect them I have to re-SYNC them. This is a dangerous situation if driving. No one from Samsung can explain to me why this is happening.
There are a lot of excellent features of this phone that I like. I'm in my car a lot and this is a very big headache for me. For that reason I will go back to my old phone until they fix this problem.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, like having a small laptop in your hand
Cons: bluetooth can handle only one device at a time, voice recognition not very good

Touchwiz holds it back a little

Don't get me wrong, the Note 3 is an excellent device in terms of sheer power and functionality, but Touchwiz takes away from the experience. I'll give the cons first, then the pros. FYI, I'm using the Sprint version of the device here in the states.
Cons - Touchwiz uses a great deal of the Note 3 resources by default which adds the occasional stutter or lag when going from app to app. Touchwiz is an aquired taste with it's cartoonish interface and blocky style. The dialer, stock browser, stock email client and updated settings menu could use an overall. Anytime there has to be a search function inside of the settings menu, it's become far to cluttered. S - Voice has proved to be unreliable at the worst times. It has trouble recognizing contacts and distinguishing between names, even with the adaptive voice feature. Personally, I've remedied this by using the Google voice feature by sliding my finger across the menu button. Please consider including a second speaker in the next iteration. Although the single speaker is good, I find that I have to wear headphones to get fully immersed in the experience. The wifi antennae is pretty weak. I've found myself losing connectivity while being less than 5 ft away from my router, while my other devices connect and stay connected throughout the entire house. The cut and paste feature could use some attention because it's definitely NOT intuitive for anyone new to the Galaxy line.
Pros - everything else. The battery life is amazing and the usb 3.0 charging has really eased my concerns from the Note 2. The screen is excellent for watching movies, drawing and viewing photos or videos. The S-pen functions as it should and offers an unparalleled accuracy and useful set of additional features. Learn the gestures! They will save you time on the most commonly performed tasks and become second nature in no time. The large keyboard, with its dedicated row of numbers just gets the job done. Gaming, true multitasking, content viewing and call quality are all excellent. For some the size will be an issue as they will try to force this to be a one handed device, which it isn't unless you've got abnormally large hands. The device fits comfortably in pants pockets and is surprisingly light. You really can't go wrong with this device.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight
Cons: touchwiz, mono speaker
I would recommend this to a friend!

I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS PHONE
on January 25, 2014

This phone is awesome. I love it. It has a nice huge screen and a really nice camera. It has 3 GB of ram in it records in 4K. WOW! One of the best phones ever. You can scroll down with your eyes and so much more. The only issue i have with it is that every once in a while i will need to restart to connect to Wi-Fi. And also this phone is capable with sprint spark yet. And sprint has really bad 4G LTE here where i live . But that doesn't have to to with the phone. Just the network. But this is the best choice.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, camera, everything else
Cons: wifi connection problems, not sprint spark capable
I would recommend this to a friend!

ABSOLUTE BEAST OF A PHONE!!!

After owning every iPhone ever made, I realized just how bored I was as a smartphone user. And the second I laid eyes on the Note 3, I knew it was the one for me. Some people jokingly gave me a hard time about it's size, but I absolutely love it. Everything else seems so tiny to me now, and impossible to text with. Using my phone as much as I do for work, it has become a blessing being able to see Blue Prints in large detail while on the go, and the S Pen makes writing notes within those Blue Prints for adjustments, the coolest thing ever.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

This is an amazing product

I purchased the Note 3 four months ago and I am completely loving it. The features of this product are easy to use and understand. I watched some in depth you tube videos of others who have mastered the lesser known features and they were really helpful. If you like having tablet capabilities with the use of a pen rather than a stylus and the functions of a cellular telephone, this product is great. I highly recommend it.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
