Samsung Galaxy Note 3 N900V Verizon Unlocked Phone w/ 13MP Camera - Black

I've had several phones in the past 5 years. I've been on Sprint and AT&T. The best phone to this point as far as speed, functionality, reliability, battery life, etc., was the HTC EVO 3D. I've had a couple HTC's, an LG Optimus, and a couple of Samsung devices. Up until I got the Note 3, the Evo 3D was my favorite. When I first got my Note 3, I thought it was a huge phone, but after a little bit of time with it, I don't think it's huge, I think all other phones are just small.

Ever since i upgraded to Samsung Galaxy S2, I have fell in love with Samsung phones with no exception with this one...A beautifully innovative phone that enables one to do a lot without the need for any other device.. I love the big screen along with the great battery life. A fast phone with no lag.

I love this phone. This is a true tool and device. I switched from another manufacturer and made the jump to Samsung in the beginning of November and wish I had done this 3 years ago. The Note 3 puts the world at my hands and never lets me down. I can do all of my real estate deals and transaction from the palm of my hand and clients are impressed with how well everything turns out. Sign documents with the S Pen, no problem. Email said documents, no problem. Pull up a different house to see if clients like it better, no problem. Get me to the next house, no problem. It does it all and keeps asking for more. Fast, boy this things can get you out of a pickle...fast. Before you know it, you have directions to get yourself wherever you want to be or away from where you don't. The screen is so sharp, you don't need retina display (because that is a toy, they have to make sound better). Get a Samsung and your world will expand and open to all the possibilities and potential this world offers.

I've been using this device since the day it came out and was available here in the US. I've been using Apple/i0s Devices for the last 4(ish)? years. I've gotta say, the upgrade was incredible. The note 3 blows my old phone out of the water, and even in many ways gives my computer a run for its money. I say that because many tasks I need to do now don't require me to use a computer. I'm giving 4 stars for the features category, because up until right now, the NFC doesn't live up to it's potential. You can't currently use google wallet. Other than that I'm pleased with the functionality. I understand that with the new 4.4 (kit-kat) firmware, a person will be able to utilize this, so this is a circumstance that's already in a way been fixed. In addition, I find that the design is great but a bit fragile. I love the both masculine, and feminine traits of the overall design of the phone and ease of use. My biggest gripe with the design of the phone is that the camera protrudes out of the back too much, and would theoretically absorb any impact that's made while putting your phone down. (I talk about this if you're not putting a case on your device) I have a friend who broke the camera glass the first week of having his phone because of this. So I think 4 stars is appropriate. I also would have loved more than one speaker. As far as value, I'm happy to have purchased the device, although I think it was a bit on the pricey end.

This phone is by far the best phone I have ever owned or used. I have owned several Samsung smartphones in the past and there was always a feature or two that I wished they would have. The Galaxy Note 3 has all the features I want and then some. The screen is big and bright with vibrant colors and sharp text. The processor is exceptionally fast and handles everything you throw at it with ease. The camera takes very good pictures and there are a ton of features within the camera too. Plus, it can record 4K video. The overall design is very attractive and looks executive, regardless of the fact that it's plastic. If you didn't know, you'd be hard pressed to think of it as plastic, even when you're holding it. The one single complaint I have is with the speaker and its placement. It distorts at high volume and when you watch videos in landscape mode, the sound is clearly coming from the right side of the phone. Having said that, I absolutely love this phone and would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone. This device has only confirmed my status as a Samsung fan and product owner for life.
