I have to applaud the lengths to which Samsung has gone to in order to try and make the thing feel useful. This is not a device for people who struggle with applications but for those who love cool devices
Great functionality and apps to kill for this is
5.7” 1080 x 1920 screen in a lightweight
Comfortable body
Snapdragon 800 SoC with 3GB RAM
32GB on-board storage with microSD expansion
Excellent battery life
Thinner & lighter than predecessor

Fast and smooth

The editors didn't like
The ridiculous number of features and the $999 price tag mean this is a serious invest and what I would have liked is a free cover to hide the plastic back
The ridiculous number of features and the $999 price tag mean this is a serious invest and what I would have liked is a free cover to hide the plastic back.
Screen DPI set too high
Fonts and icons are too large
Notification UI is a mess and needs to be fixed
Samsung's Android customisations may delay updates
Price compared to the competition
Many TouchWIZ features are gimmicks
Gallery app is sluggish
Tricky to hold
Expensive
S Pen still limited
Tacky plastic rear
TouchWiz needs a refresh. High price
More plastic casing
Even if it does have a nicer back than other Galaxy devices
Features the same bugs and crashes from this year's Galaxy-based smartphones in the Australian region (sigh)

Abstract: Back when ~4.3 inches was considered a “large” phone, Samsung began on a new journey. Much like the megapixel race that point and shoot cameras went through several years back, Samsung kicked off a screen size race, with each new year bringing a few more ...
Abstract: 5 Reasons Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Fits the LadiesThe phone is larger than the other phones of course. So a lot of ladies that I know are skeptical about using the Galaxy Note 3 as their daily driver. I compiled a few reasons why the the Note 3 is a great ph...

The included SPen is fantastic, further enhanced by strong software support. Topnotch performance from both models, plus a decent camera and great battery life. Reasonably ergonomic, despite its size.
Fauxleather design makes the device look like a cheap knockoff. Software is bloated, visually unpleasant and filled with gimmicks. As LCDs advance, AMOLEDs are being left behind.
After several weeks with a Galaxy Note 3 in hand, it's clear that it is the best large-screened, stylus-supporting smartphone you can get. The S-Pen is the perfect companion tool for annotations on the fly, with some seriously impressive software enhancem...
Abstract: Just when we were beginning to wonder there for a moment, out comes LG’s “phablet” for 2013 – the strange and unique looking LG G Flex. Naturally, it’s a peculiar thing out in the space right that’s hoping to be a viable competitor against the arguable...

appealing and elegant design, powerful hardware, excellent CPU and GPU, loads of useful apps and features, great camera, audio and screen, apps have evolved from past Samsung experiences, the S Pen is great as usual, improved multitasking and security, An
battery life should be higher, on par with expectations, night capture is poor, S Note doesn't bring new features, the Samsung Hub is useless, there's no optical stabilization, no FM radio
So, what are the compelling things that make Note 3 a worthy buy? To me, it's EVERYTHING. While I would love to recommend other brands, I have to say that the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 has it all. The hardware is excellent, from the 2.3GHz quad-core processor...

Is the Galaxy Note 3 worth getting If you're accepting of the larger size (large enough to where it looks a little funny when you hold it up to your face for an actual call), and can justify the higher price compared to the Galaxy S4, then I'd say that yo...

Abstract: More than ever before, this year we saw an unprecedented amount of larger than life smartphones entering the space – commonly known to many of us as “phablets.” They’re gargantuan devices that might overpower those with small appetites, but they serve ...
