Design
The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 retains the same design that gave the Note series of smartphones their own identity.
The Note 3 is essentially made of plastic but Samsung has cleverly disguised the finish of certain elements to give the smartphone a premium fit and finish. Despite its huge size, the phone doesn't feel heavy and fits in the pocket in a better manner.
No FM radio
No 4K video recording
Expensive
Bad low light photography
Display
The Galaxy Note 3 is in a way Samsung's other flagship device, other than the Galaxy S4. All flagship devices now tick the full-HD display checkmark, and keeping with the trend, Samsung has also upgraded the screen to full-HD. The screen's also bigger by 0.2-inches at 5.7-inches.
The Galaxy Note 3 comes with a full-HD Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 1080x1920 pixels packing 386 pixels per inch.
The display was not very reflective and sunlight legibility was great. The viewing angles on the phone are excellent.
Software/User Interface
The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 runs Android 4.3 Jelly Bean, the latest iteration of the OS and TouchWiz Nature UX,Samsung's own UI that includes custom apps in addition
to a skinned interface.
The major feature of the Note 3 that integrates the S Pen is Air Command. The -Pen that comes with the Note 3 features a button that can be pressed to invoke an Air Command menu on the screen when you hover it over the screen. The Air Command menu brings Action Memo, Scrapbooker, Screen Write, S Finder and Pen Window options. One can also insert content, and contacts and view additional options while hovering the S Pen around the display and pressing the button on the S Pen. It does make things a bit complicated but if you're someone who loves to create content and share it in a jiffy, you might like this feature.
Camera
The Galaxy Note 3 features a 13-megapixel rear camera that takes excellent shots in daylight and good artificial light.
The Note 3's rear camera is capable of recording 1080p video and performs well. It can also capture Slow motion, Fast motion and Smooth motion videos. It also offers video stabilisation to let you take steady shots. The phone's rear camera performs well in the video capture department. It's worth pointing out that unlike the Snapdragon 800 variant of the Note 3, the Exynos 5 Octa-version sold in India does not offer support for 4K video recording.
The Galaxy Note 3's 2-megapixel front camera does a decent job when it comes to video chats but pictures taken indoors were grainy at times.
Performance/Battery Life
The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is powered by Samsung's Exynos 5 Octa 5420 processor which is essentially a set of two quad-core processors- a 1.9GHz Cortex A15 quad-core processor and a 1.3GHz Cortex A7 quad-core processor that work together to optimise processing. It has 3GB RAM onboard, and a Mali T628 MP6 chip for processing graphics. Our review unit had 32GB of expandable built-in storage, out of which 24GB was available for our use.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 comes with a 3200mAh battery.
