Buy!! i got one, and its amazing. Before getting it, i looks pretty huge, but after one or two days of using it, it doesnt feel that way at all! rly happy with it. 
Another reason to buy its the usb 3, 0 port, it charges super fast, u can get full charge in less than two hours, and remember, its a 3200 mAh battery,

IM glad i didnt wait for the galaxy s5 like some people did. Going with the note 3 was my best choice. :) love it

[maheenali]

I personally got one on a 2 year contract in black and I LOVE IT

[adriansnetwork]

You're awesome, of course one of the best reviewers out there, if not The best!

[bakirrasheed]

Enjoying the Note 3 since the launch, I would say it is the best device I've ever used! I don't use my laptop anymore!

Price already went down at my Best Buy from $300 to $200. I picked one up and it was a great decision

On the note 3 you can customize up to 50 different options once rooted, it's a great phone too have. You can change a lot of features. It is a big 5.7 inches for a phone but remember you don't have to carry your tablet around when you can have a phone that does the trick. Also I have a note 3 and I had a note 2 . The note is what I like about the notes in general. Going from the note 2 to the note 3 is such an experience, I can say it's an amazing phone you will never want to leave behind. I had the LG G2 phone as it was customized because it was unrooted status I got brand new. I didn't like the fact none of my text would be completed on the other side there are a lot more bugs with the LG G2. It froze my whole account. I was not happy so I switched too the note 3 once again. I am now happy with it. My kids love to play on it and try to keep it away from me lol.

[angericajasmin]

i have a note 3 and im very pleased with it. it does everything well.

[naquiahjusoh]

Im gonna buy it for sure! The price already drop eventhough its still considered as expensive

[TheGearHeadofficial]

I had the note 2 and I loved it. I have the note 3 since the launch and it is the best phone I ever had. But I actually use nova launcher on it just for that modern look and the mind blowing speed.

Im using this phone still LOL (Amazing phone)

Buy it, the feel of the size will disappear after you have gotten used to it. I was at first skeptical with the size as well, but after four hours of using it, it feels natural.
Four months later, no problem using it one handed, and my hands aren't that big.

Best Android phone I've ever used, and I've owned all the "flagship" phones since the original Motorola Droid (my last phone was the Note II). I have to agree about Touch Wiz though. And I don't use most of the gestures. The stylus had been out of the dock a couple times which is a couple more than that of my Note II.

Don't be afraid that this phone is too big. Like Joshua said: after a while it doesn't feel so big!

[ivanjose]

It is freaking AMAZING I own it and never will go back!

[rusliirawanri]

Get one. It's pretty worthy to own.

When a device has more reasons to buy than reasons to pass, its a device worth considering

[kokliang]

I have the note 2 and its no big at all and I think i'll have no problems with the note 3 as well. Regarding the touchwiz, samsung will be upgrading it to android 4.4 with new touchwiz skin. And beileve me, all those features might just help you once in a while.

I must say the galaxy note 3 is very nice phone.. I got mine a couple of weeks ago and indeed coming from a galaxy sIII, there was a huge difference in size but after using it for a couple of days I kinda get the feel of it. I can use it with just one hand with no issue whatsoever. The S-Pen is amazing, the air command is something you'd never see on other galaxy devices as well as other phones in the market. My only argument with the review is about the battery life. Yes, although the galaxy note 3 has a huge capacity battery, based on my experience, it would last 6 to 8 hours running on lte though I've never used my phone with the data services deactivated - maybe that would give me a battery life of one to two days. But the good part is since it has USB 3.0, fully charging the phone wouldn't take as long as compared to my galaxy sIII which would take about three hours to fully charge

 I don't why some people keep trashing Touchwiz. I honestly don't mind Touchwiz's look and even some of its performance as well as it certain features, though not all. I just wanted to point out that Touchwiz on something like the Note 3 or the S4  its wayyyy better than what we saw in samsung devices running eclair, froyo, and gingerbread with touchwiz on top like the Galaxy S Y or the original S1
