  • Abstract:  Released in 2011, the original Galaxy Note was the monster- sized smartphone that birthed the ‘phablet' category, packing a 5.3-inch screen in an age where the market-leading iPhone was still a comparatively tiny 3.5-inches. The Note seemingly proved that...

  • 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
  • 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
  • I have no hesitation recommending the Note 3 to anyone who's after a new phone outright, or about to enter a contract. I'm confident it will last owners a full 24 months and continue to perform well over the life of the contract, especially in light of An...

  • Samsung's Galaxy Note 3 is not a cheap phone (the cheapest you'll get it for is probably $659 from Kogan). It's not a phone which sits easily in your pocket, or in your hand for that matter. It's chock-full of Samsung's apps, and many readers will have n...

  • 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
  • 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

  • Samsung's Galaxy Note 3 is a great device, maybe even Samsung's best. You do have to turn off a lot of gimmicks and filler-features before you find the phone at its best, but this isn't difficult and the results are worth the extra aggravation. The S P...
