The Sprint Galaxy Note 3 is by far one of the better of the Sprint android devices. With its 3GB ram and 2.3 quad-core processor it still delivers after being 2 plus years old. Yes I have had to swop out the battery but this is expected for being over 2.3 years old. This phone has aged well. I am able to play a few games check emails post reviews on forums take pictures send text still with the same response as if I took it out of the box the very first day. I have never had a phone that could do that after day one. Pros & Cons Pros: - Zero to minimal lag performance time after being 2.3 years old - Able to use voice and data in LTE only at the same time - Removable battery & Expandable memory Cons: - 2.3 years old and will soon not be supported for updates - Does not support Sprint Plus LTE network In short this is still a great phone even considering the cons.

I have had the Note 3 since 2/13. It is a great phone. I have little to no problems with it. It is rooted. I have had to replace the battery. This is the main reason why I have not update to a newer Note. I love being able to change the battery and also the ability to have a Micro SD card slot. If the newer versions of the Note do not have this I will switch to LG.

User Review: The Carrier stops it from getting top rating.

It's an amazing phone, I'm just not too keen on Sprint's sparadic 4G LTE coverage here in Phoenix.

Pros:
Battery life (3200 MAH).
16 MP camera.
Speedy as all get out.
32GB user memory (before bloatware)

Cons:
The carrier.

Since I also have a VZW line, I might pay outright for a Note 3 soon (if I can't wait on a 4). Samsung is defintely the iPhone slayer. God bless.

This handset has all what it takes to stick with me the life of the contract and I am a heavy data user. The handset performs as you would expect from a high-end phone but there are few departments here and there that do not show the hardware capabilities giving room to think may be it's software to blame regarding touchwiz to Android operation.

Cons:
One hand operation giving certain circumstances too difficult and also slippery at times for a phone so big in my hands.
Pros:
coming from an iPhone to have the ability to schedule a text and navigate the internet while on call session is superb.

I've had a lot of phones through Verizon over the past 30 years, but this is the first one I've actually really been happy with! They talk about the size being too large to hold, but even with my small hands, I have no problem, and I can finally see what's on the screen. It takes a while to learn all the features and menus, but they are organized by what actually makes sense. I was concerned about durability, but it has turned out to be surprisingly durable with lots of memory.

User Review: Good, but not as great as Note 2

First of all, update has come far for VZW! (however signal still doesn't compare with Note 2)

Build quality is amazing, great offerings for accessories, screen brightness and resolution is AMAZING! (Day or night time, I can use effectively) Support for S Note, great as well! Camera is meh.... HTC One Max camera in my experience is better. (Low light is where Samsung seemingly lacks)

Sound quality is ok, but many complain they can't hear me. (Again, Note 2 trumps Note 3 in this department)

Reception: After update, it has improved, however my old iPhone 4s and Note 2 had much better reception than the note 3. (Sometimes shows signal, however it doesn't access internet or receive calls regardless of indoors our outdoors)

LIGHT! Very light and easy on the hands. The shape and form factor all for its ease of use, an advantage over HTC One Max.

All in all, one of my primary phones. Usability and Weight makeup for the lack in signal and reception. (Somewhat)

I used my upgrade to get the new Samsung note 3, i had the Samsung note 2 that was totally awsome, after using the note 3 for two days now i can see the difference and it is unbelievable difference. To me Samsung is the best and the note 3 is for me. Beautiful screen, plenty of memory and the phone is fast, and i have had plenty of smart phones and mostly Samsung you can't go wrong with this phone, this is my opinion only. Samsung is #1, i give this phone a 5

I purchased this phone yesterday and based on the reviews I had seen thought it would be outstanding. I had a Galaxy Nexus and will be returning to it today. I am returning it less than 24 hours later due to issues I was having. Everything is awesome about the phone except the things that I need a phone for. My Nexus would have at least 3-4 bars of service inside my school and other locations on campus where the Note 3 was constantly saying searching for service. I could text anywhere inside or out on campus with the Nexus and can not with the Note 3. It will not connect to my school wifi which is critical to my needs. My wife has the Note 2 and she has the same connectivity issues and I should have known better.

Samsung's touchwiz ui is just annoying...makes you feel like your using an android phone back in the days of eclair or gingerbread.

The screen size is awesome, but the reality of handling the device with that screen size is awkward at best and I have big hands.

The last nail in the coffin for me was the lack of built in wireless charging for a $699 retail phone and the additional $40 to get that...sorry, but that is just trying to squeeze every penny possible out of consumers without providing a complete product to begin with (wireless charging should be STANDARD on most phones these days and ESPECIALLY on a phone that costs this much.

Dont get me wrong, its a kick ass phone, monster specs, incredibly nice screen but Samsung ruined it with touchwiz, yet again cheap plastic materials and the obvious attempt to milk more money from consumers by not including what should be built in (wireless charging) and instead charges more for it.

That, and for a device like this battery life should be industry leading and it certainly was not.

I really wanted to love the phone, but in the end, my maxx is just a MUCH better phone for less.

Samsung Note 3
Model : SM-N900P
Carrier : Sprint

Pros:
Large screen size.
The 2.3GHz quad core processor plus 3GB of ram make it hard to lock up or overheat.
Contains the smart screen options of the Galaxy S4 (smart stay,pause, rotate and my favorite... scroll).
Also comes with Autodesk Sketchpad. Camera looks great and has some fun features. Also includes infrared so you can use it for a remote.

(Vs. Note 2)
Removed page buddy and charges crazy fast.

Cons
Problem with predictive text and personal dictionary. Google maps is buggy.

Have had many Android phones since the original Droid. Just upgraded from the Droid DNA. This phone is AWESOME! Very thin... great beautiful screen... color is so vibrant, screen is very nice size... keyboard is awesome on the screen.

The phone is so thin, great style, and call quality is one of the best I have ever used. Doesn't feel too big at all actually. Build quality seems to be just a good!

Highly recommend this phone.. keep finding new features daily!

Take this review witha grain of salt since I've only had the Note 3 for 3 days.
Pro's:
Amazing large crystal clear and bright display.
Excellent battery life.
Very quick and responsive.
Android 4.3
New capabilities with the S Pen.

Con's:
Honestly the only con is that I can't find Sprint 4G signal in Beaverton, OR or surrounding areas. This is a deal breaker so I am returning the phone to Sprint and picking the Note 3 up at Verizon.

Please note I didn't mention the camera. I haven't had an opportunity to experiment with it yet.
