Samsung Galaxy Note 3 review

Smarter, longer, faster, something else-er... this is an evolution and a half

Fast and smooth ; Great battery ; Full HD display ; 4G

Tricky to hold ; Expensive ; S Pen still limited ; Tacky plastic rear

The phablet is here to stay and the Note 3 is the best out there - fast, powerful and supremely functional.

Samsung Galaxy Note 3

The Note is the original phablet and, despite some promising competition, in this iteration it's still the best

Bright, vibrant screen ; Good video performance ; High-res music capability ; Strong battery life ; Expandable storage ; S Pen functionality

Colours can be oversaturated in video and photos ; Too much Samsung bloatware

The Galaxy Note family started the trend for phablets, and in many ways it is still leading the way.

Improved looks, hugely powerful, 4K video looks epic, improved camera over Note 2, beautiful screen, new S Pen functionality,

Some will find it too big, SIM lock might be a problem, handwriting recognition failure bug

There are a few little things about the Note 3 that we think require some attention, such as photo processing and possible concern over SIM region-locking. These feel like software issues though, and that gives us some hope that they might be fixed at...

Hands-on: Samsung Galaxy Note 3 review - Pocket-lint

Samsung led the way with big smartphones. It started the phablet name. So now that the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is here we're eager to see third time really

If larger displays make your life easier, and taking notes quickly is a must, this is the ultimate phablet.
