White for sure ! Things I love about note 3 are opening 2 same apps on the screen, having more options with scrapbook and calling directly the numbers that I wrote.

In this video, I really notice the substantial improvement in display quality. If you pause the video, you can see the Note 3 text is much easier to read, in addition to an obvious difference in image quality Seems like the price difference would be worth it to me over the many hours you would probably own the phone..Especially if it is any easier to read outside as well..

Pity they did not put a dual sim on Note 3 and an FM Transmitter as that the other features I would like it to have. Go with your Logik suggestion, lets wait for
Note 4 next year when my contact runs out!

I love my Note 3 ! This device is simply fantastic, better than iPhone 5S, better than iPad, it's really great :-)

Like shape of the 2 better, but I LOVE the leatherlook its even better and more original then an iphone.

How come the screen doesn't look any larger on the Note 3 in this video?

I just got my note 3 Today but am dissapointed by a few things vs my note 2.... I miss the saturation and coloring of note 2, the note 3 just seems less punchy and bold in the colors. The speed is almost identical on both even tho the n3 has much better hardware.... but the note 2 transition and swiping effect is faster than on my new note 3. Other than that it's Def a great phone but I still prefer my note 2 over note 3 and will probably carry note 2 instead

i really like Note 3 square form factor.. looks like Galaxy S2 has been reborn in bigger body

[MajorrBison]

i love my note 2 also, got so much stuff on it so i won't be getting anything else ; if it ain't broken don't fix it but i can't wait to see what the iphone 6 would look like, i am a multi phone owner so i wanna see what the 6 brings especially if its bigger.

Ill just wait for the note4 since I have the note2. I hope they make some changes on the note4 like the front speaker...

[iAnormal]

now that I'm noticing, where is the speaker in the GN3?

[xmerxmer]

Note 3 looks more masculine (if you disregard the pink:))
Note 2 is too rounded.. like a soap or something. Thumbs up for returning to awesome Note1 style (and improving it)

[jazon]

why do we keep increasing power and pixels but battery stays par? they need to increase the thickness of these phones and put beefier batteries in there, at least 5000 mah

[sarahcheetah]

Can you buy a pink note 3 from best buy? Or any note?

[GuyPersonMr]

can anyone from the phone arena staff or someone who can tell from this video...if the note 2 was at full brightness? Color reproduction is so much better on the note 2...but certainly sharper on the 3 and it also seems that the made letters bigger or would that be the upsized screen?

[syafxamier]

note 3 looks like the original note 1...so sexy and more elegent look than note 2...i want this one!!!

[dburgess]

Where is the speaker that's what I want to know

[HarshalHatkar]

Galaxy Note 3 looks like a really big Galaxy S2 ! O_o

[ladydpr]

Does anyone knows where i can get the pink one. here in Puerto Rico they only have white and black

[jazon]

only way i would consider ditching my note 2 is if the note 3 has an rgb display and there is a 9000+ mah zero lemon battery available. the stock batteries are so weak on all the phones these days
