Brief review on Samsung Galaxy Note 3. Review on Samsung Galaxy Note 3

The Note 3 boasts a beautiful large screen, cutting edge tech and hardware design that shows Samsung is finally taking looks seriously.

The Galaxy Note family is Cred824ited with not only starting the phablet craze, but also resurrecting the stylus. The S Pen is no ordinary stylus though - the special screen digitizer and a button on the S Pen work their magic to augment the thumb-on-screen experience, and rival it in terms of speed and options.

Other than that the Galaxy Note 3 phablet continues the tradition of being the current generation's Galaxy S phone on steroids - a large 5.7" screen(in a body the size of the Note II), choice of Snapdragon 800 or Exynos 5420 chipsets, 2160p(a.k.a. UHD) video recording, USB 3.0(a first on a pocketable device) and Samsung's ever-growing list of software features available right out-of-the-box.
