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!

The Best Phone ever!!
on January 9, 2014

This phone is big in my hands, definitely a two hand phone. Although the phone was bigger than I expected, it was been one of the best phones I have purchased. Big screen, perfect for watching videos. I love the different camera options (Never take a dull picture again). it's super fast and responds well to the touch. One of the thing I like about it is that it is loud I can definitely hear this phone when it is ringing. Another cool feature is the S Pen. Its nice to be able to write on the phone and have it recognize what I'm trying to write, and let's face it I don't have the best handwriting in the world. I highly recommend this phone.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great looking phone-but it drops calls all the time

Expertise:Expert
I have lived in the same house for 13 years and never dropped calls, now I drop 80% of calls at my house. It is the most money I have ever spent on a phone and I suppose has the smallest antenna. How could this have a smaller or less quality antenna than the last 10 phones we have owned. Surely it is better than the phone I owned ten years ago on the same network..... right??????? I have always thought everything Samsung touched....turned to gold, but now I am not so sure!
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: drops calls
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Epic Note
on October 7, 2013
Posted by: Arlanzo

Expertise:Expert
The first thing you will notice is the gorgeous screen. The S pen software has been update. I love the improved multitasking, I love the fact that I can drag a picture into a email or text. It has strong performance. Although it not design for one handed use, the software update that dose allow one handed use is much welcomed feature. Great job on keep the same size as Note II with a lighter weight. The "pleather" back is a great touch and much improved for griping the phone. Simply put I love this phone!
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Lightweight
Cons: speaker phone could be better.
I would recommend this to a friend!

LOVE IT!!

I had the Note 2, but this Note 3 makes me even happier. I love the lightweight feel and the screen is so crisp and bright. The features are in an abundance, and I live having choices. Some may think there's too many but I like customizing my devise according to how I feel. Great device and worth the money. I only wish that the flip to mute would work with more 3rd party pas, like Pandora, or Google media. But I guess we can't have everything..... At least this year.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!
