I am enjoying using my note 3. It does seem there are a few things that could be improved. First it can be difficult to get it to turn on the home screen. It will flicker and go back to the dark screen. I have tried all key combinations and adjusted the sensitivity all to no availe. Also the GPS drops out at the most inopportune times. Very frustrating. These are the main complaints I have. Otherwise it works well.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color
Cons: gps drops, difficult to turn on to home screen
Its a great phone/phablet but the design could have been less like the Galaxy S line. This is a much improved product than the S series. Has great battery life and performance.
With the large screen and text I can use this camera without my reading glasses! That makes all the difference in the world when I am out running or kayaking and not around my specks!
The large screen is great for showing pictures to my 90 year old mother too!
Great phone, great quality!
I use it for both business and pleasure... I have had Samsung phones for 6 years now and they are the best!
I really like the note 3, though I only had it for about a month, it malfunctioned internally and I had to send it back to samsung. I told the customer service representative it was my business phone and I needed it back ASAP. I sent it out Oct 1st by UPS and it was in my mailbox Oct 6th.i could not have asked for better service. Thank you samsung. Other than that I really like my note 3
This phone is really amazing and can do really anything that I need it to do. It took about 2 weeks to get used to the size and then it felt natural. I've had minimal success with using the smartgesture apps (like the phone staying on while you're looking at it, hovering my hand over the phone to check the sensor etc., but it might just be an issue with the sensor on my phone. I've had some problems with the "mm-qcameradaemon" draining the junk out of my battery every once in a while and I can't find out how to get it fixed anywhere. If Samsung can take care of those bugs then I would be giving this five stars because I like the phone a lot! I've also had several pretty intense drop. However the phone still performs just fine! All it managed to do was nick the metallic rim, my screen never cracked even the slightest bit! Heres to the Note 4 knocking our socks off!
I wanted this phone for a while, i finally got it. I love it. There are so many features that i am still learning daily. I'm hooked. The stylus makes form filling much easier and keeps my screen clean. As an artist i was blown away by the pressure sensitivity of the stylus, or s pen.
Most common reaction from folks when they see me pull the Note3 out is initial shock because of the sheer size of the screen. Aside from being able to see everything clearly, watching videos, tv, cable, etc is just too cool! I even caught a group of iphone junkies watching me watching HBO! Connection has been great; features are so many that after 4 mos. I haven't even got through 1/8 of what's here. The stylus capabilities for things such as awesome photo editing and creating screen widgets has no comparison. Pics and movie are spectacular with 13.5mp and HD.
