The magic number. Three is lucky. Three’s a crowd. Okay, ignore that last one, but the number 3 does also apply to thelatest Galaxy Note, and we’re curious to know which of thosemaxims might apply. What are the marquee features this time around? Well, there’s the usual bevy of specification improvements ( a 5.7-inch display, quad-core Snapdragon 800 and 3GB of RAM) , Android 4.3, some new S Pen features and the small matter of theGear, that optional, polarizing companion watch.Samsung makes a great many products, even if you just consider the mobile ones.
However, since it burst into existence in 2011, the Note has been up there with the Galaxy S series on the flagship pedestal. So, it’d be fair to say that we’re expecting big things from this big phone, but with a SIM-free price in the UK of £620, it requires even deeper pockets thanits predecessordid at launch ( that one cost around£530) . That said, if you want one, you’ll need bigpockets anyway. While you check their size, we’ve scribbled, doodled and gestured the Note 3with abandon to see if it’s worth the bounty. Read on to find out if it is.
