http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/10/14/samsung-galaxy-note-3-review The Verdict The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is extremely fast, comes with a fantastic camera, and has absolutely amazing battery life. The new faux-leather rear casing may be a turnoff to some, but it definitely helps make the large device easier to hold than its predecessor. But it just can't be ignored that the Note 3's size is far too impractical for most situations. And at $299.99 on-contract, it can be an expensive inconvenience that will have to be endured for at least 2 years. If you have deep pockets or loose purse strings, though, there is still a great device to be found beneath the extra large exterior. 8.5=Great If you can get past its extra large form factor and high price, the Galaxy Note 3 is an all-around great smartphone.
