  • 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...

  • Despite its software quirks, the Note 3 is still a solid and powerful Android device. It's not alone in the larger screen size phone market — I'd suggest you also give the Sony Xperia Z Ultra a look if you like larger phones — but as a logical evolution o...

  • Big and bright screen that is lovely to use; Very, very fast; Loads of features; Two days battery life is great; Captures 4K video; Features support for USB 3.0;
  • 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);
  • Lots of people are using big phones out there, and they have Samsung to thank. The company practically invented the space known as “phablets” when it first launched the Galaxy Note, and now in its third iteration, we're seeing what is close to a perfectio...

  • Excellent battery life, Thinner & lighter than predecessor, Great performance
  • Many TouchWIZ features are gimmicks, Gallery app is sluggish
  • The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is best described as an evolutionary device, rather than a revolutionary one. Despite this, its fantastic display, slim build and fast software make it a fantastic option for anyone who's looking for an oversized smartphone...

  • It's a welcome change to see Samsung focused on improving existing features as opposed to throwing in a boat load of poorly implemented features which was quite clearly the approach with the Galaxy S4. The enhancements made so far clearly position the de...

  • Abstract:  Held in hand, the Note 3 feels very much like the Note II . That's because Samsung laboured to keep the width of the phone the same even while bumping up the screen size to 5.7 inches. Samsung clearly doesn't want to get into the territory marked by the 6...
