5 Stars for My 5 Star Galaxy Note 3 Phablet
on July 8, 2014

Expertise:Expert
Upgrading from my Galaxy Note 2 to the Galaxy Note 3 I am once again a proud owner of Samsung's Flagship Phablet. I have incorporated my Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy Gear 2 into just about every piece of my life which activates and controls my Samsung UHDTV’s, Samsung Smart Refrigerator, and my Samsung Smart Washer and Dryer, and connectivity with my Ativ Laptop. I could go on and on about the features and capabilities of the Galaxy Note 3. Own the Galaxy Note 3 and the Galaxy Gear 2 and you will find yourself Speechless as I do as this Phablet and Smartwatch continues to astonish me.
The accessories I researched, Highly Recommend and Purchased are:
1. The OtterBox Defender Series case for Maximum Protection of an Expensive Phablet such as the Galaxy Note 3
2. Samsung Galaxy Gear 2 that lets you wirelessly link and control your Galaxy Note 3, Samsung Tablets and other fine Samsung products and accessories
3. The Plantronics Voyager Edge, light weight, easy to pair with NFC, excellent sound quality, comes with a portable Charging Station, moisture resistant, and compatible with 5 devices including the Samsung Galaxy Gear 2
4. The SanDisk - Ultra 128GB microSDXC Class 10 Memory Card because I use my Galaxy Note 3 for Business and Personal use such as: Movies, Pictures, Music, Large Documents, and my Clients Business receipts
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

This Device IS Truly Note-3-Worthy!
on November 17, 2013
Posted by: TechDiva

I called the Note 3 a device because its too much gadget to call it just a phone. My friends and family call me the cool, techno-gadget geek. The description fits because I don't just like owning the best, new technology, but I like knowing the ins and outs. I pride myself on always having the best phones available. All the way back to the Treo, Omnia, Droid Bionic, iPhone 4 & 5, etc. I've owned three Toshiba Qosmios (typing on one now), the Thrive, Tab 2, and Note 8 tablets; and use an ASUS Transformer book for travel. This is not me bragging but rather attempting to establish my credibility as a knowledgeable techie.
That said, this will Not be a review written in "tech" speak; there'll be no benchmark tests or fancy terms followed by numbers. That's not what I want when I read a review so that's not what I'll give. So, straight talk, here we go. Before buying the Note 3 I used the Note 2, which I loved. Both use the S-Pen but the Note 3 has extended the pen's functionality with "air" apps. These apps appear when you slide the pen out and auto hide once the pen is clicked into place. They give quick access to memos, scrap booking, writing directly on the screen to add notations to articles, etc., and more. It comes stocked with many other useful apps and, of course, there's the usual bloat ware but at least now you can delete most of it. But who buys a phone for the apps on it? I mean, we can do much of that ourselves. No, don't buy the Note 3 for its great pre-installed apps; buy it because of how those apps run on it!
The Note 3 is FAST! My apps load right up once I tap one and the transitions are smooth and seamless. Taking photos or shooting video is amazing; better than many quick shot, stand alone cameras. There's almost no lag in between shots, and shooting with 13 mega pixels in HD allows me to display my pics on large screens with little to no quality loss. It has built-in Infra Red which allows you to use it as a remote to control your TV or other infra red capable devices. Now it is a bit awkward to hold at first and will take some getting used to. When I had my Note 2 it seemed like everywhere I'd go someone had jokes about the size of my phone. Its gotten better now or maybe I've just gotten used to it, either way, it doesn't matter because I love the large screen. Everything is easier to view on the Note 3 and adjusting a setting makes increasing font sizes as easy as turning up the volume. Oh yes, and when it comes to watching videos or streaming movies, I catch those same jokers watching from their seats. One day, while waiting for prescriptions at Kaiser Permanente, a gentleman approached me to inquire about my phone. He wanted to know the make/model because he had failing eyesight and liked being able to easily see my screen from across the room (that also meant I needed to be aware of shielding sometimes). In fact, the Note 3, with its larger screen, is like always having a PDA tablet, camera, and phone all in one!
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, larger screen, fast processing, s-pen/s-pen apps, 13 mp camera - rear, 2 mp camera - front, hd camera, hd display, large display
Cons: can be awkward to hold due to size, s-view case awkward to hold when photographing, poor case options, lacks quality styling
I would recommend this to a friend!

The next big thing IS here!

I have been a cell phone salesman for quite a few years and have had the opportunity to play with nearly every phone that has come out. This is not only the best that Samsung has ever launched, it is hands down the best cell phone that I have ever seen. From running side by side tests with other current cell phones (speed tests, camera quality and shutter speed, screen resolution, loadup times after clicking on an app) the Note 3 won every single one of them, not to mention this test also included the iPhone 5s. The only thing I would say as a precaution to potential buyers is that this is a fairly large phone. Not over-the-top large but it did take me about a week of carrying it around and using it to get used to the feel of it and now it doesn't bother me. Over all, this has been a phone that has impressed me in every category. Cost may be a little on the high end but definitely worth it. Great job Samsung!
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, ease of use, attached stylus
Cons: only one external speaker, cost of device

Great Phone

Posted by: Badconn3ction
No complaints about the phone. It does exactly what I want it to do, its very fast, looks elegant, operates very smooth. Can't forget the large screen, which I find hard to use without two hands from time to time (I do not use the stylus pen), none the less I love it and wouldn't change a thing.
Pros: Durable, Lightweight, function
I would recommend this to a friend!

Galaxy Note 3 - Better than a Smartphone
on January 13, 2014
Posted by: gwhitevt

Expertise:Expert
I have had my Note 3 for about a month and love it. I was concerned about the size at first, but got used to it very quickly. The larger screen is great for typing, web content and gaming. I answer more email on it off hours than I do on my laptop now.
I like the S-Pen also - excellent for marking up screnshots or photos (maps) and sending them to friends, also good for notebook applications like Evernote and One Note. I like the Air Command Also, but to be honest, don't find myself using it as much as I thought.
Tied in with the Android OS and updated Google Now this is quite a device. Hope to see an update to TouchWiz soon, the new screenshots from CES 2014 look great.
I like that I can send local video to my Samsung TV as well, and screen share with my Samsung Tablet.

True Iphone Killer

The moment i put this phone in my hand I fell in love all over again.
I have been a avid iphone supporter user for the last 5 years and finally decided to give something new a try. I am so upset that I didnt make the move to samsung when the first galaxy came about. Now that I compare this Galaxy Note 3 to the iphone 5c which i took back to the store I am totally in awe over my new product. I am excited learning something new and a new platform and along with my other at home samsung products I am converting the rest of my hand healds and tv's to samsung as well.
