Here's our breakdown of everything you need to know about the Samsung Galaxy Note 3.

Pros and Cons

The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 features a larger and full-HD display. Its 13-MP camera is capable
of capturing high-quality pictures and perform video recording at 4k. The S pen stylus comes as
a new feature and the TouchWiz UI has received some upgrades for a smoother interface.
The Note 3 may weigh 168g, but that is not that heavy considering that it is a phablet. At 8.3 mm, it is
one of the slimmest smartphones in its segment.

There are some considerations that may go against the Galaxy Note 3. It is large, but maybe too
large for smart phone users. It is a feature-loaded phablet, and sometimes these features could be
overwhelming. A notable disadvantage is its incompatibility with S Notes from its predecessor.
This could be an issue with Note 2 users looking to upgrade to Note 3.
