Autifully crisp screen, with a gamut of choices wrt the options to make it display colors naturally or in the over-saturated format that Samsung provide. >Absolute lack of lag even while playing some hi-res games and operating heavy apps. >Ships out with 4.4.2, and all the chocolaty goodness that Kit Kat offers. Always a good thing. >The camera still are really good, even though they're not class leading. >Video rec is pretty good too, barring the minor points I mentioned earlier. >I'm a consummate heavy-user, and the battery has performed admirably under my focused ministrations. Lasts a day or more, depending on the usage. Excellent stand-by time. >Video playback is a joy! Watching movies, shows, etc. is an absolute visual treat. >Stylus is surprisingly good to use, and I find myself using it quite a lot. CONS: >Lack of 4G. >Does not have Samsung's new Touchwiz UI that's offered with the S5. No word on whether it'll be released on the Note 3. >Music playback is a little underwhelming. Really expected better sound experience, especially given that I use a pair of JBL headphones. >To state the obvious, one-handed operation will be a bother for most people. I have pretty huge hands myself, but still find myself struggling to reach the farthest corners of the screen. >The USB port provided with the Note 3 means that only specific accessories are supported by it. More than a little inconvenient. Overall, I loved this phone. True, I would've preferred the American Note 3, but this does just fine. verdict: the octa-core phablet is fine but competion is hard now out there and at this price I would be passing this n would had lookded for more
