First of all let me tell before starting this review I have not purchased this device but got as gift from my sister. I came to know many bad reviews about note 3. but after using it for nearby 5 months I came to a good notice. This is the OSM android smart phone I used so far after iPhone 5s. Main problem is how to use it smartly and intelligently.
Phone heats up only when you are using 3G or some unwanted apps are running so please clear it. Samsung note 3 is made with brilliant architecture of processor and storage capacity. Always leave at least 10 GB internal memory blank then you see your note 3 never hang.don’t load too much HD games making the Phone unnecessary space wanting.Note 3 has the brilliant display delight.
And battery back is top good. in idle mode it never sucks a single% also. Use always Auto brightness. Switch off NFC. Sync. Bluetooth and other irrelevant apps. I am a very heavy user who dose a lot of calls and have whopping 29 gmail accounts(push always on), WhatsApp, Skype running at all times and this phone is the only one that lasts mr through the day.
This is a rock solid phone and none of its parts will fail- just make sure not to use it roughly and always have a metal bumper case around its sides.
The bumper case will serve two purpose: 1st it will make your phone look cool(I got silver one for my black note 3) and elegant. Second it prevents the chrome from getting damaged.
Then you see you will Love this phone.
