  • There's no question that Samsung's Galaxy Note is big, but despite its huge size, it actually feels a lot slimmer than the previous version. Samsung's reduced the bezels on the latest version of the Note, so that despite a larger 5.7-inch screen, the footprint remains almost identical - and it still measures up at just a slim 8mm thick. Despite its size, it doesn't feel hefty at all, although it'
  • Samsung phones are often derided for their plastic construction - it may be more durable than a HTC One Max or an iPhone 5s but pretty it is not. To make matters worse, the glossy back cover is gone: instead, there's a dire faux-leather back piece that gives you a little bit more grip, but still feels cheap - especially when you're peeling it off to insert your microSD or SIM card. The phone's ov
  • The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is unashamedly huge, and Samsung's proud of that fact. The South Korean company has taken its previous model, which was excellent, and has refined it even more, stuffing in even more power to produce a blazing fast phone that ...

  • Abstract:  Phablets bridge the gap between phones and tablets. They can make calls and access the internet via a mobile network, but they also have screens that are big enough (just about) to allow you to use them like a tablet. The form factor has already overtaken...

  • Impressive though it undoubtedly is, the new Note 3 doesn't eclipse the Sony Xperia Z Ultra. The Ultra's screen is larger and more natural in hue; Sony's tweaked version of Android is a darned sight less confusing than Samsung's; the bespoke Sony media a...

  • Massive, stunning 1080p display, Lighter and faster than before, Dizzying array of software enhancements
  • Some software enhancements are dubious, Like all phablets, it's huge
  • Should you get a phone or a phablet? Samsung isn't making the decision easy, thanks to its sheer number of available devices with all manner of screen sizes. For example, the Samsung Galaxy Mega (which we'll have a review of very soon) steps up to an eve...

  • Powerful, very fast, lots of storage, bursting with features, decent cameras, useful S Pen
  • Mostly aesthetic: frustrating and clumsy Touchwiz user interface, ugly faux leather backplate, cheap-looking design
  • This super-fast device is Samsung's lightest and thinnest Note so far. While its design lets the Galaxy Note 3 down, the device is loaded with plenty of business features, and is great for multitasking and heavy workloads....

  • Gorgeous screen, powerful processor, slim build, handy stylus
  • Too big for most pockets perhaps, not everyone likes the stylus
  • It's big, but it's beautifully formed, and delivers excellent performance and a world-leading screen. The camera is pretty good too but it's the S-Pen that really sells the Note series, and the new version is ace. View Gallery 6 items Spec...

  • Sharp, colorful HD display; Impressive 13megapixel snapper; Great power; SPen plus apps.
  • Nothing new to shout about; Niche product.
  • The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is not a whole new phone, but an upgrade, however its sharp 5.7in HD display, 13MP snapper and great performance all appeal – and the S-Pen and creativity options make it stand out from the crowd...

  • Improved looks, hugely powerful, 4K video looks epic, improved camera over Note 2, beautiful screen, new S Pen functionality,
  • Some will find it too big, SIM lock might be a problem, handwriting recognition failure bug
  • There are a few little things about the Note 3 that we think require some attention, such as photo processing and possible concern over SIM region-locking. These feel like software issues though, and that gives us some hope that they might be fixed...
