Every day I spend with this Note I discover more things it can do and more ways it can work for me. I no longer own a tablet as I don't need one now. Many of the tasks I used to do with other devices have now all been taken over by the Note. There is absolutely no other phone that could tear me away from my Note. It works great all the time,is fast, and allows me to do everything I could want to do. Thanks Samsung!!!
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, s pen, many features
I would recommend this to a friend!

What the heck was Samsung thinking by releasing such a big phone?

Well whoever came up with the idea, I hope they're getting paid big bucks. The Galaxy Note 3 is a fantastic smartphone. Every phone I've ever had was a Samsung and I have no plans on switching. The speed of the Note 3 is very impressive. Right from the start it boosted up extremely fast and set up 2 as very easy. Thank god Samsung loves their Micro SD - transferring my music and photos was unbelievably easy. Using the phone is very easy and there are two many features to count! A lot of people say that the features of Galaxies are gimmicky but I actually find most of them usefull. I also appreciate the fact that Samsung used faux leather plastic. While many people would've preferred metal, the faux leather keeps to phone lighter, more durable, and allows for features like micro SD and removing the insanely large battery. And it still looks very attractive. Speaking of, battery life is amazing. On a screen this large, vibrant, and sharp, I would've expected terrible battery life. I don't know how samsung does it, but battery life is the best I ever had on a phone and the phone is still incredibly thin.
Honestly, I do wish the phone was a little bit smaller, but it really doesn't matter all that much. The camera is fantastic on this phone too. It's incredibly sharp, even when zoomed in. The flash is also brighter in photos, but not as bright as the one on my previous phone, the Galaxy S3, when used as a flashlight.
And now, this one little feature changes the way you think about your phone completely - the handy little S Pen. There are so many features that it has, like screen write and pen window which I use most often. I never realized how much I would love this little guy; my friends are so suprised when I take it out. And when they see features like air view and multi window, they nearly pass out. The s pen makes using the phone easier for different tasks, and drawing or handwriting to text is also very accurate and simple.
The only thing I don't like about this phone is that it is a little buggy. Since I got it a little over a month ago, I've noticed a few bugs here and there but they should be fixed with Kitkat when we get it.
Overall, I highly recommend this phone to anyone who wants a fantastic phone or even just a big phone. The screen is sharp and vibrant, the phone is very fast and easy to use, and there are so many features. I know for a fact I missed a couple things in the review because there are just so many things to talk about!
This phone is a monster and it's powerful! It works great on WIFI and Verizon's 4GLTE! I upgraded from the Samsung Galaxy S 4! I love samsung but i love the note line better than they galaxy line! Of course this blows all the i phone's out of the water!
I can not find any negatives to date. Though it does take some getting used to after using iPhone for years, but I am enjoying it immensely and highly recommend.
This is my second Galaxy note, I had the original and have been hooked ever since. I have to support iPhones all day and detest the tiny little screens they have. When someone finally gets a Galaxy series it's much easier for me as Samsung has an agreement with Bomgar and I can remotely support and configure devices for our employees. I use the large screen all the time when I’m remoting into our servers or employee computers to give help when I’m on the road. My sons also love the screen so they can watch their videos when we're in the car or lying in bed trying to get them to sleep. I just can’t say enough good things about this phone and LOVE the upgrade in speed since the original. It’s also fun to control the TV with the WatchOn app. I was jealous of that app on my wife’s Note 10.1. I can’t stop recommending the Note 3 and GS4 to people; I should get commission from Samsung as often as I recommend them. My only complaint is the speaker volume on the speakerphone and quality when playing music. Using the headphone jack it's great, but maybe an upgrade on the speaker next time. I love the quality of their products. I'm actually about to buy another Samsung plasma tv. (The 50" seems too small now, horrible problem I know.) I'm also glad they used plastic casing as it makes the weight lower, it's going into a protective case anway.
So far the the Note 3 is everything that you would want. The Battery life is great so far.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight, battery life

The title says it all. This phone performs great and it does so many things that its gonna take a while for me to remember it all. The screen is AWSOME! The picture quality is PHENOMENAL! The speed is like no other phone I've ever used. My only complaint is the pleather cover in the back and plastic shiny metal like ridge around the phone. Samsung needs to start using less plastic and more metal. But even with the cheap exterior I would give this phone a 9.5 out of 10.
