I have been used note 3 from thr first time released until now. It is a great smartphone ever. The only cons is a bettery life. I liked it more when it was still a kit kat phone but moving on. I would like to see options to disable emoji characters from being seen on my text screen. I prefer to talk with words then trying to decipher what someone means when they put a picture of a thumbs up or something. It sprts a leather finish, complte with the stitching and we will have to say that it loook very good. Good phone.
