Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Review

[@stevenroberts1272]

Just bought this phone...and you are the best reviewer on youtube!

[@Bigcountryed]

Agreed!

[@laalki80]

I just retired mine, still works! Best phone I've had.

[@mobiletechreview]

Here in the US it's pretty rare for carriers to offer 64 gig models of anything in store other than the iPhone. No idea about overseas. Since the 32 gig model is already $100- $150 more on contract than other flagships, the 64 gig might cost double the LG G2, Optimus G Pro, GS4, iPhone 5s base. US carriers avoid high contract price tags.

[@mobiletechreview]

Yes, we used the AT&T version for this review and it can shoot 4k video.

[@Piotrkochan32]

I purchased the note the first day it hit T-Mobiles shelves and I'm flabbergasted. This phone is amazing. I've been with the galaxy family until Galaxy 3 then I switched to iPhone, and I'm back on Android and on a Galaxy and I'm not looking back. Love your videos Lisa, I watch all of them, for fun and for some knowledge. You're the best.

What do you do with the smartphones once you have reviewed them??

[@zacharywatkins5989]

Usually most of these KZbin reviews (I believe MobileTechReview is the same) Are lent these devices by the manufacturer and are expected to return them after their review.

[@mobiletechreview]

That really depends on the size smartphone you prefer. The Note 3 is considerably larger than the S4 and LG G2.

[@InexorWoW]

Lisa, please start making mention of the s pen's web browsing functionallity also. I didnt know of useful it is as a cursor till i had the note 3 and 2014

[@Gadgetonomy]

Have been waiting patiently for Lisa's Galaxy Note 3 review and I am not disappointed. I love her down to earth approach, always seems so much more believable and trustworthy. I would love to meet her and have real geeky phone tech conversation! Great review.

[@MaZEEZaM]

You didnt mention the USB Audio output, how it sounded i was especially interested in knowing how it sounded through an amp compared to an iphone or ipod

[@mobiletechreview]

Depends on whether you need the Note's pen feature.

[@mobiletechreview]

Yes, we'll review the Note 10.1 2014 edition.

[@mobiletechreview]

That depends on whether Samsung decides to update their TouchWiz apps for the GS3.

[@mobiletechreview]

I've had no reception issues with our AT&T version of the Note 3.

[@picklesnorf101]

Your reviews are so great. I always watch these reviews before I buy anything.

[@mobiletechreview]

Use the select tool to convert handwriting to formulas (or text-- both options are available).

[@mobiletechreview]

We have a smackdown on MobileTechReview and this channel between the LG G2 and Note 3.

[@PersonalFitness3]

Thanks for the review Lisa. I've been holding off from getting the NOTE 2 until the NOTE 3 debuted and was reviewed. I like the fact that the connector port allows for use with the previous cable.

[@bennettwaisbren]

Wonderful review! Thanks for going so much more in depth than the majority of other reviewers on KZbin. Definitely subbed

[@Unkn0wnC0mmand]

Love your reviews Lisa. Happy Note 3 user since pre-orders arrived. Great job.

[@MrGuitarrica]

I love your reviews! You take all the features and specs of devices into consideration and you always manage to review without a bias. Great work! :) Greetings from Finland

[@mobiletechreview]

I like the Note 3 quite a bit, however as with other phones that go through 1,2,3...x revisions, it doesn't completely wow me like the first Note did. It really depends on the size phone you want, and if the pen feature is attractive. I like to draw, so I still love the pen!

[@6-----gfd433]

Finally! I've been waiting for this review

[@mobiletechreview]

If you root an Android phone you can remove built-in programs. Otherwise generally not.

[@mobiletechreview]

I honestly don't know if all Note 3 variants are region locked. I certainly wish that Samsung hadn't introduced region locking though!

[@mobiletechreview]

Yes, I did cover voice quality and it's excellent.

[@Torpedoinyourmouth10]

Oh man, I was waiting for you to review this! This has made my day!

[@agsvette]

Great review Lisa, as always! Perhaps I missed it in your review, but I don't believe you commented on voice/call quality. How does it compare to the Note II in this aspect? I have the Note II and plan to upgrade. Voice/call quality on the Note II is stellar. Since I actually talk on my phones, in addition to everything else, call quality is always important to me. At the end of the day it is still a phone. Thanks and keep up the good work.

[@Golden_Reaper1]

Any note 3 users noticed that now you can move your big game apps to the micro sd card under app manager like it used to be on gingerbread a while back, its nice to have this feature back again. Loving my note 3.

[@Love-Henry]

I always like Lisa's reviews, insightful and very much to the point!

[@boronplusoxygen]

What I was waiting for this whole week :)

[@mobiletechreview]

No overheating so far, but my GS4 that I've had since launch hasn't overheated either.

[@mobiletechreview]

No sure if I'll review the Galaxy Gear. So far I haven't seen a smartwatch that really is compelling... think we have a few more years to go before they're useful more than Maxwell Smart geeky cool.

[@mobiletechreview]

Right, like most white plastic phone backs, I'd expect this to resist staining. Dirt might get trapped in the fake leather gain but that should be easy to clean.

[@coolbymenow]

Hi Lisa, Great review. Compared to the S4 and other normal size phones, how do you feel the Note 3? Does it get uncomfortable after awhile? Does it fix in a normal jeans pocket?

[@gyozakeynsianism]

Great review as usual, Lisa. I was wondering about the S-View flip cover for the Note 3. Have you had a chance to try it out? This is maybe a weird question, but does the little window in the S-View flip cover work in landscape mode?

[@LadyRed5858]

Always Love Your Reviews Lisa!!!!

[@demographicsexpert980]

The Galaxy Note 3 is the best because it sports the new Super AMOLED display technology which produces much more vibrant colors, superior contrast and the best superb black levels. Everyone in Italy buys Samsung TV's, refrigerators, monitors, smartphones and air conditioners because they know Samsung makes the best quality products. VIVA SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS FOREVER!

[@zawchig888]

The Galaxy Note 3's technology is about 12 months ahead of other smartphones. Galaxy Note 3 sports Super AMOLED technology, next-generation LPDDR 3 RAM, 4K video recording and USB 3.0 while other smartphones don't.

[@davidbennett9198]

Well yeah Samsung is the biggest tech company in the world.

[@zawchig888]

Super AMOLED displays are better than LCDs because Super AMOLED displays have superior motion performance (faster response times), infinite contrast and the deepest black levels (0cd/m^2 to be exact). Super AMOLED is the future. LCD is a thing of the past.

[@mobiletechreview]

Thanks and glad to hear it!

[@yogineast]

Been waiting for this review.

[@THEEVILSPERKY]

Been watching your videos as long as I can remember, wonderful review. This time I already had the phone before catching your informative take on it, hehe. Quick question: can we expect a Galaxy Gear review in the near future? Very curious about it, thanks! -Kyle.

[@rynoweston]

Thanks for your review. I was about to ask you about the battery life and you covered it right at the very end. Thanks.

[@mobiletechreview]

Our Note 10.1 review is coming.

[@boronplusoxygen]

Hi Lisa, great review! Would you recommend the Note 3, S4, or the G2? I currently have the Note 1 and I am looking to upgrade. I am really tempted to get the N3 now that you reviewed it positively.

[@stephgohard]

favorite reviewer for tech always trusted when considering which tech to buy !

[@mobiletechreview]

The new Dell tablets look pretty cool. Excited about Bay Trail Atom processors too.

[@navusx]

Hi Lisa, love all your reviews. Will you be doing the review on the new Dell Venue 8 Pro or the Sony Vaio Flip when they're out ?

[@FRESHBackpackersLondon]

Great review as always! Keep up the great work!

[@mrnyc220]

I love your Tech reviews , You know what your talking about , And because of you I make my buying decisions , Your reviews are to the point and you don't sugar coat your reviews Thank you I just bought the Note 3 because of you I know I made a great choice ...Thank You

[@pepperpaste]

I've had this for almist a week now, and I can honestly say that the build quality is top notch, and I find the back cover to be one of the more welcome changes.

[@BrookeAshley777]

Great job, Lisa. As always...

[@mobiletechreview]

The pen nib (tip) is much softer than glass, so it won't mar the display.

[@twospirits411]

As always great review. Although your reviews are quite extensive this device has so many features that its almost impossible to show them off in one sitting. There's even a mini desktop screen mode that makes the display smaller for one handed use. I've been a Note user from the first generation and each one gets better and better. btw lisa, where did you get that shirt, I love it.

[@DeelishDotCom]

Love all your reviews however the only thing that really bothers me is you always have your screen brightness so low. Makes it hard to appreciate the display on your videos. Can you ensure your brightness is all the way up before filming?

[@Wierdninja]

Lisa, I wish you would do a review on Dells new android and Window 8 tablets. Nice review here as always. Big fan here. Thank you Lisa.

[@tanyet]

still lags a bit and has choppy scrolling. Maybe it's just android. I thought it was pretty smooth for awhile but it reverted back to s-lag just a little.

[@martinblyth1613]

I loved this phone, a excellent review

[@InvisiMan2006]

There are some apps that can be "disabled" in the Settings app, but most system-dependant apps can't be without root or without breaking something important.

[@AhsanU]

Will you be doing a review of the Sony Xperia Z1 Lisa? I'm currently torn between scylla and charybdis when it comes to that phone and this Galaxy Note 3. I'm kind of leaning towards the Z1 at this point.

[@TinTinMonkey]

Hey Lisa, Excellent review as usual. One question for you, do you think that Note 3 offers a good upgrade to justify the price for a current LG Optimus G Pro owner (don't care about pen input)?

[@R9YRay]

Does anyone know how to disable the flipbroad feature...? Just got my galaxy note 3 I love it...

[@rangers5576]

Good review Lisa! I like the look of the foe leather however I had to buy a grippy case as I felt it was very slippy. Keep them up!

[@patriotcam1776]

Lisa love your vids you are amazing. But I always wonder why the phones back plate is so important most people put some kind of case on it.

[@alaamemari]

Thank you very much Lisa, I enjoyed watching this video. Very informative! I have a suggestion and a question for you. - I would love to see in the description of the video the features you are explaining and at what time each of them starts. The video is rather long and this would be helpful if someone would like to skip things he/she already knows. - The main thing I like in this phablet is the stylus. Could you please share your thoughts about how it can be better utilized? Many thanks

[@leecm]

I thought it'd be a problem, but unless I misunderstood Lisa, it's faux leather plastic. Not traditional faux leather. Being so, I would assume that it has the same stain resistance of any other plastic white phone. Am I wrong about this?

[@stevenschroeder8306]

Great Job again Lisa! Will you review the Galaxy note 10.1 (2014 Edition) ? Thanks!

[@petegonzales162]

Lisa Gade hands down does the best reviews.

[@gekejo1]

Lisa, do you personally prefer the HTC One over the S4? I'm thinking of getting the HTC due to the very low prices now. g-

[@joshb2000jb]

Yay a good review of the note 3 keep em coming

[@shamatee2]

Lisa should i upgrade this from an Note 2?. Love your reviews.

[@mobiletechreview]

More detail (thanks to camera resolution) = Note 3. Overall better exposure in a variety of lighting situations = iPhone 5s.

[@Raven1180]

Lisa great reviews as always. I have a Nexus 4 and I'm so tempted but I know the 5 is right around the corner. I wanted to know if you can also mention in your reviews if the phones are QI certified. Love the feature in my Nexus 4 and I'm sure some folks would be glad for the extra info.

[@tommychan]

yo Lisa, are u going to have a review on the the Google Nexus 5?

[@Broseidon-ob8ek]

Do you guys plan on reviewing a new Asus laptop? Q301LA is the product number, but to me it just looks like a reiteration of the Asus S300CA. Thanks in advance either way

[@k3ntris]

Hi Lisa, what is the actual usable RAM? I had a play in the ones in Hong Kong and in the settings it said 2.5GB usable? O.o Also, annoyed that Samsung have released a 16GB version in Hong Kong and a few other areas!

[@levinasvaldas]

HAw about comparison betwen note 2 and 3 ? Because price diference is big in my country but does it worth to upgrade considering its realy not a cheap phablet ? Thank you Lisa :)

[@Adam_Newman]

Lisa , have you noticed any or had reception issues w/note 3 ? Thanks

[@k3ntris]

I think so too. The HK version has App2SD but that's besides the point. A lot of people in Hong Kong are now deciding to drop support for Samsung because this isn't the first time they've screwed over this region.

[@ladyvee7110]

Yey...I was waiting for your review.

[@SEEDOFISRAEL12]

Hi Lisa, just subscribe to your videos. I have a question, I'm getting ready to trade in my iPhone 5 for the note 3, how is the battery life on the note?? That includes full usage while running live wallpaper

[@matthewh5439]

Just a silly question, but do the samsung phones always have the carrier symbol on the back?

[@canyoubelievethis220]

Love your reviews, LG. You seem like a card, for sure. Thanks again for your hands-on reviews. I have the original Galaxy Note. I bought it the second day after it came out. When I asked for a belt holder, the customer rep said "they just came out yesterday." I said "duh, they should have figured out how one is going to carry it months before it was released."

[@holdthissl]

Love your reviews you do a great job

[@rebeccahudson87]

great review. it is a good feature that the speaker is not at the back of the phone (the speaker of the htc one really spoiled us). Im glad you can synchronize SNote with evernote.

[@truckso2pl]

How comfortable is reading books on note 3? Because I'd like to buy some universal device

[@lazarstojkovic7096]

We love you Lisa!

[@nr3rful]

Are you going to do a GEAR review to go with the Note 3.

[@MarcRuiz_chico]

Hey Lisa, Great review - I'm going to update my device from the Samsung Galaxy S3 - I'm undecided between the Note 3 and the LG G2 - Are you going to make a smack down comparison? I want speed and battery life...

[@WarthogRacer]

Are also going to review the Galaxy Gear?

[@LamontTedford]

hey great review im looking forward to getting this on wednesday for sprint version just wanted to know will there ever be more color options for this phone and what does the beauty face option on the camara mean and what case would u suggest me getting for this phone thanks

[@liandriunreal]

Lisa have you noticed any camera issues where you open it and it's all black? and a restart fixes it? should I be worried or just a glitchy new phone? it's only happend a few times and a restart fixed it but it bothers me

[@insidertrading1]

you do the best most detailed reviews #kudos

[@ToastyNova]

Lisa, what do you think about the new Dell Windows 8.1 tablets?

[@mobiletechreview]

If a phone supports Qi wireless charging, we do mention it.

[@sesame88]

Finally saw a display unit of this here in Sydney at the Samsung store. Kudos to Samsung for making the great screen from Note 3, I still hate AMOLED, but my, I'm impressed!! Brought it side by side with the S4 both at their brightest and really, S4 is only half as bright as the Note 3! Wow.

[@zfamilyhome]

Excellent! The obvious that "I overlooked". Which shows how excited I am to upgrade, because usually I over think details, not overlook them :-)

[@sidhantkhatri9901]

Is this your own channel or do work with other people as well?

[@samirnader4201]

hello lisa , i just want to ask you about the power of the loudspeaker ,, is it much weaker than the one of note 2 ?? is it like the one of s4 or louder ??

[@KeithsTVHD1]

You post great reviews.

[@rseepersaud]

Swapped my galaxy s4 for the note 3 and the note 3 is the best phone I've ever used. It has everything the s series lacks...huge battery life and screen and amazingly fast.

[@MarkChanMusic]

Thanks again Lisa for another clear, informative review! Unfortunately I'm prevaricating between getting the Note 3 or sticking with my Note 2. Also, the other quandary is I'm actually using the Note 8 as my ONE device more and more nowadays (the battery life isn't great though so I'm carrying around the Samsung battery pack).. ah 1st world problems... LOL
