*Samsung Galaxy Note 3 review* Read the full review: goo.gl/KHqhSu The Galaxy Note 3 is one of the most hotly anticipated phones of the year, and for good reason. With its massive 5.7-inch 1080p HD AMOLED display, larger battery, thinner body, and massive processing power, it appears to be a truly legitimate successor to the tried and true Galaxy Note 2. But is it enough to appease the power user segment as the real next big thing in the competitive smartphone market? By ***** #Samsung #GalaxyNote3
Still having any hint of lag whatsoever on a snapdragon 800 and 3 gigs of ram.... Pathetic. The Motorola X and htc one have lesser specs yet they don't ever show any hint of a slow down or lag.
The Htc One and Moto X don't have anywhere near the software feature set of the Note 3 either, and both pale badly in comparison to the Note 3. Your right though, no excuse for lag but an OTA will fix it as it did with the S4. Shouldn't have to though.
Hoping to get one tomorrow. Going with the black because it makes the screen and front bevels looks seamless. Also like how they encourage but do not force you to use the S pen. I look forward to using it often.
Still a very usable phone using a custom ROM like LineageOS, the specs and overall concept of this smartphone were waaay ahead of their time, I mean the spec sheet still looks quite good today in 2020 and this was released in 2013!
You got the review on the Note 3 spot on guys .. I absolutely love it .. I've upgraded from the S4 as my eyes arent as good as 20 years ago Best move ever Fast .smooth and it has heaps to offer .. A must for any samsung lover .. Cheers
I have been using note phones ever since I first bought the note 1. The note 1 was great but I quickly sold it as I had bought it real cheap. Then I bought a brand new note 2 last year for $300 (off contract). It is working great and will continue to do so but I just had to upgrade to the note 3 as I felt using the pen was not as fun on the older models due to lack of support for touch sensitive buttons for the spen. Plus the 4k recording is really nice as well
The opening to this review is the best opening I have seen, to date, for a review on any device. The opening clearly defines just how productive this device is. I will be getting one, it is so awesome that we get to see this type of innovation in smartphones. Maybe apple will recognize this and see that they need to adapt. The complacency of the iphone brand is astounding, and it is even more astounding that a company built upon leading in innovation is not competing in this market segment.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is so sexy and classy. The Galaxy Note 3 has a much better screen sporting the new Super The Galaxy Note 3 has an 8 core OCTA core CPU which is much faster than the rest The Galaxy Note 3 has superior antenna and radios which makes it faster at loading websites and social media The Galaxy Note 3 has much better software capabilities making it the best smartphone for social media FORZA SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS!
I have note 3 in black and this is my first note phone too. ..and I agree with everything you say josh! I got the LTE version and matched with the beastly specs and ultra fast speeds of LTE... its a deadly combination. ..can't wait for the s-pen focus feature! Mabuhay!
Best Note 3 review I have seen! Great choice in background music also. I still can't believe you dropped the Note3 - I felt like punching you..lol. I'm patiently waiting for it to be released here in New Zealand.
Good review. One point - most of the reviewers say the camera is "the basically same as the S4." Shooting 4K video IS A SIGNIFICANT UPGRADE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!!!
when note 2 was out i opted for the HTC one X instead for some reason put off by the size of the note...after everyone who has a note 2 would swear their life for how great of a phone it is i took the plunge and got the note 3. This review is a fantastic showcase of how great of a multitasking and productivity tool this phone is. Scrapbook research for projects, drag and drop between apps open at the same time and so much more. I feel like i don't do enough to fulfill the potential of the device
Great quick review! Looking forward to the in depth one. Note: there is a very powerful one handed use gesture you should check out... you can make the entire screen as small as you like... even as small as an iPhone if you are a crazy person!
Agreed. Josh's videos on Android Authority are the only ones I watch from the beginning until the end. And [unfortunately?] I don't even remember any of the other AA reviewer names other than his, I've basically made his videos synonymous to Android Authority as a whole and only watch AA's videos when he's the presenter.
Android Authority: This video was the best representation of a phone review that I have ever seen. It contained excellent spec descriptions, graphics, and clarity throughout the entire video. Thank you.
Hi, for those who are curious, the Samsung Note 3 also works with the Note 2 smart dock that has 3 usb ports and an hdmi output. This allows you to turn your Note 3 into a mini computer. Check out the demo here on youtube if interested: Samsung Galaxy Note 3 works with the Smart Dock (Part 2) Samsung Galaxy Note 3 works with the Smart Dock
I've been eyeing this phone for my upgrade. Only thing holding me back is I'm waiting to see if HTC releases the One Max & then compare the two.. Great review. :)
Picked up the black one. Still fits in my cycling jersey back pocket. Love the S Pen. I'm already planning my life better. My last phone was the iPhone 5. Everything about the Note 3 makes me happy.
I didn't plan on getting the Note 3 but after visiting local T-Mo store and finding out that I can trade-in my Note 2 and have no out of pocket charges... So now I'm doing my research on the 3. Nice review by the way!
Great review and welcome to the world of phones that actually do something besides calls, messaging, etc. You were pretty spot on except for one major issue. Size of phone is both pro & con. It may be too big for ladies hands and some who are concerned about filling up their pockets. However, the size is necessary and wonderful for all the wonderful things this handheld computer does. Many of those features would not do well on a smaller screen. Once you go big, you'll never go back ...
Finally a reviewer who truly gets it. IF YOU WANT A PHONE WITH INTERNET ACCESS GET AN IPHONE. IF YOU WANT A MOBILE DEVICE/PERSONAL ASSISTANT WITH PHONE CAPABILITIES GET A NOTE
You make Asian everywhere proud. Your review was accurate and to the point and your voice was loud enough that I was able to hear on my notebook. One question for you Joshua and I hope you can answer it before tomorrow is it true that the white back cover is not the same rubber texture and feel as the black cover? Also is the black one that much nicer than the white one? Thanks
Completely agree with the review. I have been using note 3 for 4 days and it's pretty damn great. Previously I used galaxy s3 but the battery life sucks :( and lack of fluidity than iOS made me think of switching back to iphone 5S again. But so far I am pretty happy with my note 3 and think that I've made the right decision to take Note 3 over iPhone 5S. If all the apps were optimized for note 3 by now, then it would be way better than any other android or iOS devices I've used before. :)
My Dad just bought the Note 2! Oh well. But the good thing about Android is that when a new phone comes out your slightly older one doesn't feel outdated.
so i got my first reply from one of my fave subs on youtube, it was only one word but ill take it! haha keep up the good work man, looking forward to your full review on the xperia z1
Excellent Review - Android Authority always gives the best reviews. It was this review that pushed me to trade in my iPhone 5 for the Note 3. I've been an iPhone user since 2007, but I wanted to see what Android was like. The Note 3 is an amazing Mobile Device, and I can't wait to unlock all it's secrets.
Adam, I couldnt agree more! I have the Iphone 5, was going to get the 5s..then stop the presses, when I read about their issues with the motion sensor, plus thinking: is it really that much better....and then watching various videos about the Note...well that was it! I ordered it from Verizon and now happy!
Great review bro. This is one beast of a phone. My next phone most likely will be the nexus 5 because of the price, but if price wasn't an issue, I would scope this up.
Cool, love the introducing part of video. Love your voice. And best reviewer ever, you got so much thing reviewed in 12 minutes.. thanks. I will stay with s4, im happy with this phone..
Excellent review I've been trying to decide what phone is the best on the market lost my iphone so my choice was between the galaxy s4 and the iphone 5s but after seeing this review I'm going with the note 3 this phone can literally do everything.
Have ordered a note 3 just sold my note 2 which I loved best phone ever and I have owned more than one dozen smartphones thus far get a new one every year better faster more memory etc and the note phone is the best to date and the bigger the better screen I use the phone so much more with the bigger screen .note 3 with 3 gig ram is awesome keep up the awesome work samsung
I'm getting it on monday. I can't wait to get it. I could get it before, but I'm not at home...but when I watch this videos it makes want to go home and get it and then come back where I'm now. :) Hope it will work great! :)
Josh you forgot to mention the new "One Hand capability" feature, wich you can actually resize the screen in whatever size you want it to use it in one hand...
I've got an S4 and I love it, everyone should be aware that when a new phone comes out, a much better will come out in 6 monts-1 year, why? Because we are a consumist society, we all want the best at every time.

Attack on Titan! Nice :)

The black one looks much better this time.

I heard the note 3 still has a smearing issue like on S4, is it true?
Love the intro. It's very creative!
Hoping to get one tomorrow. Going with the black because it makes the screen and front bevels looks seamless. Also like how they encourage but do not force you to use the S pen. I look forward to using it often.

Ditched my iPhone 5 for the note 3, best decision I made this week it's such a great phone and extremely fast and responsive, love this phone
where are you after 10 years 😮
Now that's what I call a professionally done review. Thanks man. Picking up mine this Friday.
Excellent video Android Authority!

A must for any samsung lover ..
Cheers
Is it weird to be watching a note 3 review on a note 3?
Maybe 😞
lol i am aswell😂
lmao I am too
Ashlynne Renae Me too
Same
Original intro. Very professional mannerism. Detailed review of the significant specs and features. Well done.

FORZA SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS!
100% agree with you here.
Samsung makes the best electronics in the 21st century.
Samsung gave the US customers so much advanced technology.
Thanks Samsung!
Love your style of the intro video at the beginning. First saw it in your ChromeCast review video. It is awesome. Keep on the good works Josh.
After seeing this review I am wondering y I am still using iphone
I have note 3 in black and this is my first note phone too. ..and I agree with everything you say josh! I got the LTE version and matched with the beastly specs and ultra fast speeds of LTE... its a deadly combination. ..can't wait for the s-pen focus feature! Mabuhay!
I want this phone so bad can't wait to get it!!
Antonio lewis84 ye me to :(
Watched 10 reviews today....this one was the best. Nice job!
Great review. One of the best I've seen online.
Best Note 3 review I have seen! Great choice in background music also. I still can't believe you dropped the Note3 - I felt like punching you..lol. I'm patiently waiting for it to be released here in New Zealand.
"Watch Attack on Titan". Good reminder indeed.
I got mine the first day out and I'm totally loving it. Now I just need to learn how to use it to its full potential.
the best device ever thank you samsung I have it in 2016 it's à great phone
Does it support 4g
+Mehroz Wasim yes it does
Android Authority has become one of my favorite tech channels, thanks for the superb videos and great work.
best phone ever! I have had iphone 5s, Htc One M8, Sony Xperia Z2 but this Note 3 it is still the best.
Why did you have so many phones? Unless you're just talking out of your ass
I like to try out them. Just bought S5
drummerdude he might be a phoneaholic.
I'm def a phoneaholic I had all the iPhones s4, s5 active and now the note 3 and this wins hands down.
how to goback in the sim card
Good review. One point - most of the reviewers say the camera is "the basically same as the S4." Shooting 4K video IS A SIGNIFICANT UPGRADE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!!!
Wow. Still getting the GS5 but wow.
Josh, your review has been the best I've seen so far!
Getting one in about two weeks
when note 2 was out i opted for the HTC one X instead for some reason put off by the size of the note...after everyone who has a note 2 would swear their life for how great of a phone it is i took the plunge and got the note 3. This review is a fantastic showcase of how great of a multitasking and productivity tool this phone is. Scrapbook research for projects, drag and drop between apps open at the same time and so much more. I feel like i don't do enough to fulfill the potential of the device
worth it 2017
Ya
Worth it 2020
Still worth it 2020
So I buy today about 35 USD
love your intros!!! definitely a distinguishing feature! haha this is my fave android yt channel!
Who's still using a Note 3 in 2019? I am.
Looks like madness. But that thing is really undying. Its not too slow still. Fb and youtube are still very smooth and at very good resolution.
@@yashvintackoory2893 They made them too well ....
me :(
Me!
Great quick review! Looking forward to the in depth one.
Note: there is a very powerful one handed use gesture you should check out... you can make the entire screen as small as you like... even as small as an iPhone if you are a crazy person!
Still better than iPhone 7 plus
I just upgraded from an iPhone4 to a Note 3 and I LOVE IT. Note 3 for sure! It fits in jean pockets.
Best..... phone...... ever..... to think I was an apple fanboy 6 months ago...
Agreed. Josh's videos on Android Authority are the only ones I watch from the beginning until the end.

9:10 Attack on Titan. How did I miss that.
I didn't miss it...
your intros are crazy man! great job!
my note 3 had great battery life until lollipop update that is
+TheDarkestEdge that would be nice but I don't think it's getting anymore updates
+Michael Russ how long does the batter last? [In hours] I am considering to either get this phone.
BinweevilsLegit phone gets me thru the day but it use to get me thru almost two full days I only get about 3 hours screen on time now
+Michael Russ Oh, thanks for your response. Enjoy your day :)
+Michael Russ get multiple batteries with wall outlet its simple bro
Damn vergara you've always got the best intros! Good job!
Yay Top Gear
Android Authority: This video was the best representation of a phone review that I have ever seen. It contained excellent spec descriptions, graphics, and clarity throughout the entire video. Thank you.
What a phone!! My main driver and absolutely love it! Works well with the watch
Got my note 3 some days ago, i love it! can't go back to my old ipod now that im used to the bigger screen
Great job! Your product reviews are informative and helpful. So much so I moved from the iPhone 5s and got the Note3.
You still the king of phone reviews J, thanks for the review. This will def be my next phone, just need to figure out how I'm going to get one :-)

Haha I absolutely love what you did with the intro! I would have never thought of doing such a thing! =)
Great review and I love the intro. Way to incorporate the device into it.
Happy with my Note 3...4 years..and still running like new..FTW..
I have the Note II and I love it! If anything happens to it, I would want to get the 3! Great review. Thanks
This video led me to buying this phone on Amazon. Nice job Josh!
My brother is giving me his old note 3 but i was not happy but now watching these reviews and reading the comments i think it would be a great idea
I didn't plan on getting the Note 3 but after visiting local T-Mo store and finding out that I can trade-in my Note 2 and have no out of pocket charges... So now I'm doing my research on the 3. Nice review by the way!
So happy I stepped up and got this one... Now I need to sell my Note 2!
Best review I've seen on note 3 and I've watched a lot of videos
What a great review. A lot of information in a fairly quick time! Looking forward to more.
Great review and welcome to the world of phones that actually do something besides calls, messaging, etc. You were pretty spot on except for one major issue. Size of phone is both pro & con.

always looking forward to watching your intros. creative as always! :D
I get my note 3 in 2 days. Being a lifetime iPhone user, I'm a little cautious but excited.
Finally a reviewer who truly gets it. IF YOU WANT A PHONE WITH INTERNET ACCESS GET AN IPHONE. IF YOU WANT A MOBILE DEVICE/PERSONAL ASSISTANT WITH PHONE CAPABILITIES GET A NOTE

Awesome opening, the BEST!! I have seen yet, and a good review as well :)
Excellent review! I have the Note 2, and love it.
Wow! I like this Samsung Galaxy Note 3
My Dad just bought the Note 2! Oh well. But the good thing about Android is that when a new phone comes out your slightly older one doesn't feel outdated.
Very clear and concise review, thankyou. Going to check out your other note 3 reviews.
so i got my first reply from one of my fave subs on youtube, it was only one word but ill take it! haha keep up the good work man, looking forward to your full review on the xperia z1
Well done, nice intro : ) definitively better viewing this than the drop test!

The best review I've ever seen on the Internet. Thanks for this nice job
Great video, loved your intro. I'm waiting for my own Note 3 in Mexico, but it is supposed to arrive until november :/
Always the best and most of all honest reviews!

Best review of a smartphone ever! I will be watching more in the future.
Great review .. You're getting better and better guys
Great review. That intro just wowed me!
Great video. I am getting one. I liked your drop test video too. Can the screen be replaced if it gets broken?
Best purchase I have ever made for a phone.
Now to find a case.
Excellent review I've been trying to decide what phone is the best on the market lost my iphone so my choice was between the galaxy s4 and the iphone 5s but after seeing this review I'm going with the note 3 this phone can literally do everything.
I got my note 3 to be my note 8.0 on the go. Big note updated to 4.2.2 today. Both notes are great! Thanks samsung
Have ordered a note 3 just sold my note 2 which I loved best phone ever and I have owned more than one dozen smartphones thus far get a new one every year better faster more memory etc and the note phone is the best to date and the bigger the better screen I use the phone so much more with the bigger screen .note 3 with 3 gig ram is awesome keep up the awesome work samsung
love m white one.. finally got a new phone after I dropped my galaxy 2.. major upgrade.. the speed of the phone is wonderful
I don't understand who designed the UI, that solid blue background looks like its made by a...android. Love the multitasking.
Whats the name of the app mine magazine?

Getting it October 27! Can't wait!
Great job best galaxy note 3 review i have seen. Cape up the good work new fan.
I've got an S4 and I love it, everyone should be aware that when a new phone comes out, a much better will come out in 6 monts-1 year, why? Because we are a consumist society, we all want the best at every time.
