I got my Note 3 a few days ago and honestly I'm not sure if it was worth the upgrade over my Note 2. Build quality is absolutely awful on the phone. Crooked home button. My camera seems faulty as low light images look like they have a blend filter applied to them. Battery drains super fast and the phone gets very hot.

I think the camera just lacks a decent sensor... I did notice the heat issue when I played plants vs zombies 2. It gets very hot around the rear camera area...
Battery life has been very good for me. Depending on how busy I am during work.. on average I end the night with 20-30%. Phone is on battery from 7am-11pm

The thing is my note 2 with a supposedly worse camera takes far better pictures in low light. I also don't understand why with my note 3 camera, all pictures seem zoomed in relative to my note 2.

not yet..just on some clothes in my bedroom thankfully,But i've heard of people opening the package brand new only to find a small Black nick on their phone like if someone dropped it...the silver plating or whatever seems to chip off.


Anyone ordering the case above?.....it says shipping in 5-7 days,but they didn't update the site yet because mine just left there today via USPS,same with the feather light glass protector that just newly came out 1 day ago since people were having issues of the S-pen not responding snappy

This sounds very familiar. Ah yes, when everybody laughed at Apple when it happened to their iPhone 5

My friend's 3 day old screen cracked . He stores it in his jeans pocket and it's never been dropped. Any one else have durability issues with their SGN3? (I think it's his skin tight jeans, but I don't think tight jeans are enough to crack a gorilla glass screen??)

Your friend puts his note 3 into his skin tight jeans pocket?

What's wrong with that. I put my note2 in my jeans pocket all the time. It fits just fine.

Got my Ringke Slim case a couple days ago. It is well designed with accurate cut outs and is the slimmest case that I've seen so far. A feature that makes it stand out vs other slim cases is that it protects the top and bottom of the phone as well

Any of you guys know where the 64gb model might be available?

There are some on ebay but I'm not sure if I want to buy a phone from ebay
Samsung Galaxy Note 3 III N9000 N9005 64GB White Black Pink Factory Unlocked | eBay

Pretty sure they will (at the very least) be available in Korea, any of you guys know of a store that imports these?

TIA

I'm a HUGE galaxy fan and I've owned: Galaxy S international, Galaxy Infuse, 3x Galaxy S2, Galaxy S3 International Quad core, Galaxy S3 LTE, 3x Galaxy Note 2 LTE, 2x Galaxy S4 and now I have a Note 3.

My first android phone was the Sony Xperia X10, got hooked on android afterwards.

Here is how I would rank them overall:
1. Note 3 by FAR
2. Note 2 (pretty much the same as International)
3. S3 international Quad core
4. S2
5. S international
6. S4
7. S3 LTE

When I upgraded from the S4 to the Note 3, the speed difference between Note 3 and the S4 was insane. The build quality on the Note 3 is the best compared to all the other Galaxy's I've owned. No more creaking back covers, phone feels solid with the squarey bezel compared to the Note 2. The touch response time, for the firs time, is comparable with the Iphones.

Camera is way better than the S4, I have no idea why but it is very noticeable. Even the Note 2 did everything better than the S4, it was faster, longer battery life, camera was better and etc. And Note 3 is just a better Note 2.

The S4 lags randomly, apps sometimes don't open and crashes. 80% of the time the camera can't focus properly.

Thank god I got rid of the S4, didn't even buy the S4 any accessories because I knew it wasn't worth a penny on top.

And no, custom firmwares and kernels did not help make the shitty phones better than the good phones. I.e., custom firmware on the S4/S3 did not make them performance anywhere near the Note 2/3 w/ stock firmware.
