Many people forget that it was the South Korean manufacturer who began to set the direction for the development of phablets. Although similar devices came out before the Note line, they did not have big success. The reason was not the poor performance of the screen, but the characteristics. Battery life, quality of ergonomics, stylus - these are the true advantages of Note devices. Competitors in the line appeared after the introduction of the second generation. but big some manufacturers focused on the size of the display. After a while, it became clear that other characteristics are more important. In fact, the first generation of Note "shot" completely by accident. TO creating the second company approached more consciously trying to maximize all the benefits that people liked. These include the stylus, input technology. The latter was created by Wacom, That's why the South Korean manufacturer bought out the part of the company responsible for the development this peculiarities. So competitors failed get access To her. Samsung tried to improve everything with a howl as much as possible products, noticeably highlight it, make it unique and emphasize all the advantages.

Probably two years ago, when Samsung's bosses launched the very first 5.3-inch Note on sale, even in their wildest fantasies, they could not imagine how crazy their new product would be. At that time, flagship smartphones boasted 4.3-inch screens, and a device with a 4.8-inch display was already considered gigantic ("And in general, how can you carry this in your pocket?" - they liked to say at the time).
The first Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 scattered an insane number of copies all over the world - everyone who needed it was able to place it in their pockets, and they also said thanks to the manufacturer. Since then, the South Korean corporation has presented an updated version of its now not the largest, but the most technically advanced smartphone at the September IFA exhibition in Berlin every year. The main changes usually concern the filling of the device and they begin with the words "we have increased here, here and here." So it was in the case of the Galaxy Note 3 - with one remark: the company's designers have finally moved a couple of steps away from their standard design, which has more than once migrated from one device to another and is already tired of it.
⇡ Appearance and ergonomics
However, the main changes concern the rear panel. The "face" of the smartphone has remained almost the same. The main area of the front panel is occupied by a giant 5.7-inch screen. The thickness of the side frames around it has decreased by 1.5 mm - 4 mm for the Galaxy Note II versus 2.5 mm for the Galaxy Note 3. There is less free space under and above the display, due to which the dimensions of the new Note have remained practically the same. like its predecessor.
At first glance, distinguishing the third Galaxy Note from the second is not so easy - can you do it?
Due to the not so strongly rounded corners, the smartphone looks more strict. The central key has lost a little in size, however, due to the slightly protruding edge, it will not be difficult to blindly hit it with your finger. On the sides of it, as before, there are touch keys "Menu" and "Back", equipped with a backlight and invisible without it.
Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (left, black) vs. iPhone 4s
The pseudo-chrome edging common for Galaxies has not gone anywhere and protrudes slightly above the surface of the panel. However, in comparison with how it was in the second Note, it is much sharper. The earpiece is still covered with a metallized mesh, to the right of it are the sensors and the front camera lens, to the left is an indicator that glows in different colors depending on the event it wants to report.
Samsung Galaxy Note 3 - in modern reality, not so big
The company's designers are constantly experimenting with the back cover. In the first two Galaxy Note, the "backs" of the devices were quite ordinary - matte textured in the first and glossy in the second. In the third generation of Nout, the design idea went much further - the back cover has a coating that looks and feels remotely reminiscent of leather.
Samsung Galaxy Note 3 with the back panel removed
The decision is strong for an amateur. In our opinion, it would be significantly more appropriate if the rear panel of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 was not removable. After all, if the panel is removed - and this will have to be done at least to install a SIM card and a memory card - cognitive dissonance involuntarily arises. After all, this is obviously plastic, it doesn't smell of any leather - who did you want to fool? Well, and, of course, anyone to whom you give a smartphone in hand will first climb under the cover - to find out if this is really an elite skin of young polycarbonate. And he will definitely find out - it's good if the latches do not break in the process.
Samsung Galaxy Note 3 - back panel and sides
The physical power and volume keys, located on the side faces, are shifted upward in the updated model, which greatly simplifies their work. An infrared port appeared on the upper end, which the Galaxy Note II did not have, and the external speaker had to be moved to the lower end due to the new cover. Its location, interestingly, is very good - the speaker is not blocked by the hand, even if the smartphone is held in landscape orientation. Next to it is a micro-USB 3.0 interface that is compatible with standard micro-USB 2.0. By the way, Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is the first "wearable" gadget that supports the latest micro-USB version. The branded S Pen stylus is still huddled in the lower right corner.
Samsung Galaxy Note 3 - side texture
Another difference of the third Note is that the traditional chrome edging, which runs along all the sides, has become fluted. This is probably done so that the smartphone looks like a notebook from the ends, and such a relief should resemble the pages in it. It looks, however, somehow completely Asian.
Samsung Galaxy Note 3 - microSIM and microSD card slots
Everything under the back cover is completely normal - the main area under it is occupied by a 3200 mAh battery. The slots for microSD and micro-SIM cards are located one under the other, the former being hot-swappable and the latter not.
Samsung Galaxy Note 3, Samsung Galaxy Note II and iPhone 4s size comparison
Despite the significantly more powerful filling, the smartphone has become a little thinner and lighter than its predecessor. If you do not take into account the slightly protruding rear camera lens, the thickness of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 has lost more than a millimeter (9.4 versus 8.3 mm) and has become lighter by 15 grams (183 versus 168 g). It's nice that even such a large gadget keeps track of its figure and from one version to another throws off extra millimeters and grams.

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 - information about the system and "hardware"
With the pricing of the Galaxy Note 3, the situation is rather confusing. The fact is that the official, snow-white, recommended by the Samsung representative price of the 3G version of this device is 34,990 rubles, traditional for the super-flagship product Samsung. Theoretically, if you go to a communication salon or an electronics store of a large network, then you can see there a price tag with such an extremely inhuman figure.
It is almost unlikely that this will happen to you. Because "MegaFon" managed to agree with Samsung to sell this Galaxy Note 3 for 24,990 (you will see even more beautiful numbers on advertising banners - 21,990 rubles - but another 3,000 will have to be added to the account without fail). For this price, you will receive a device locked for the specified operator. And since this super offer from MegaFon already exists, all "gray" devices are sold at similar prices - about 22-25 thousand rubles, depending on a particular online store.
As for the LTE version of the Galaxy Note 3, at the moment it is officially sold in Russia only by the same "MegaFon" - exactly on the same terms as the 3G version, but a thousand rubles more. It is not a problem to find on sale "gray" smartphones with LTE support for about the same money, but surprises are possible with them.

Smartphone Samsung Galaxy Note 3 belongs to the category of "phablets", its dimensions - something between the size of a typical five-inch smartphone and a seven-inch tablet. The company is very carefully increasing the size of each next device from the Note generation, therefore, despite the 5.7-inch diagonal, the Note 3 has the same dimensions as the Samsung Galaxy Note 2. You can hold your smartphone in one hand, but there is no question of operating it with one hand, for this you need to take the device in one hand and control it with the other. The main material used in the device is plastic, stylized as leather. It is wear-resistant and hardly picks up fingerprints, so the material is practical. Despite being wide and thick, Samsung has managed to make the smartphone relatively thin and light. It weighs 168 grams and is only 8.4 mm thick.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 phone can be purchased in three colors: white, black and pink.
Screen - 4.5
The smartphone has a large display diagonal of 5.7 inches, which is why it has such impressive dimensions. Matrix type - Super AMOLED HD, screen resolution - 1920 × 1080 pixels, PPI - 386, protective glass - Gorilla Glass 3. In our opinion, the screen in Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is one of the best in its class: it has a high brightness level, maximum viewing angles, and the picture on such a screen (thanks to the high resolution and display size) looks amazing. Separately, it is worth noting the color rendering of the display: the colors on this screen are brighter and more contrasting than in reality, however, the color gamut changes in the display settings, and you can choose the one that is comfortable for you personally. From the screen of Samsung Galaxy Note 3, according to user reviews, it is convenient to read e-books, articles on the Internet and watch videos.
Camera
The smartphone has a 13 MP camera with LED flash. The maximum resolution for video recording is 1920 × 1080 pixels, the frame rate is 30 frames per second, the sound is recorded in stereo. The version of the smartphone based on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 platform supports video recording at a resolution of 3840 × 2160 pixels.

Working with text - 5.0
The standard keyboard in the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is comfortable, it has a Swype function for text input, as well as a separate row of numbers, so you don't need to switch to extra characters mode when typing numbers. In addition, there is an adaptation of the keyboard for one-handed input: the keyboard shrinks and fits to the right or left edge of the screen, thanks to which, despite the screen size, you can enter text with one hand (although when this option is enabled, the letters become too small). Disadvantages - inconvenient language switching system: you need to hold your finger on the "space" key and swipe left or right. To enter most of the additional characters, including the comma, you need to call the additional menu.
Internet - 3.0
The browser in Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is great for browsing the Internet: it has the ability to repeatedly scale the page to fit the text to the width of the screen and Reading Mode, which adapts the text on the page for easier reading (when you turn on Reading Mode, all you have to do is text and pictures from the article). According to user reviews, this mode is convenient to use when reading a large amount of text on the Internet. In Samsung Galaxy Note 3, you can use the browser in a pop-up window or place it on only half of the screen (multi-view mode). The device has the S Beam function, with which you can quickly transfer files, such as photos, music or videos, from one Note 3 to another using Wi-Fi or NFC, attaching them to each other "backs".

Multimedia - 4.6

You can select audio tracks in the player; as well as subtitles, both embedded and external. The audio player plays most common as well as rare formats, including uncompressed FLAC audio. Thanks to its large diagonal and high-quality screen matrix, as well as an excellent player with support for most formats, subtitles and a choice of audio tracks, the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is one of the best smartphones for watching videos.
Working hours
The device has a removable 3300 mAh battery. Samsung Galaxy Note 3 in terms of battery life is one of the leaders among current smartphones. We tested the device in our two standard tests: it is capable of playing HD video at a maximum brightness of 11.5 hours, and while listening to music, the phone was discharged in 66 hours. Separately, we note the Note 3's removable "battery", now a very small number of top flagships can boast of such a function.
Performance - 2.8
There are two versions of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 on sale - the N900 and the N9005. The first uses the Samsung Exynos 5 Octa 5420 platform with an eight-core processor, in which four Cortex A15 cores operate at 1.9 GHz, and the other four, Cortex A7, at 1.3 GHz, uses a Mali-T628 MP6 as the graphics subsystem , impressive performance. Four energy-saving cores are used for undemanding tasks, and in games they are replaced by A15 cores, thanks to which it is possible to achieve good indicators in both power and energy saving. The second version is built on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 platform with a quad-core processor clocked at 2.3 GHz and an Adreno 330 graphics subsystem. Both versions have 3 GB of RAM. Both versions demonstrate excellent performance indicators, and the key difference between the device based on the Qualcomm platform is support for Russian LTE frequencies.

The total amount of internal memory in the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is 32GB (or 16GB), 26GB is available to the user, there is a slot for a microSD memory card, cards up to 64GB are supported.
Peculiarities
The device has a separate setting item that optimizes the device for one-handed operation. For example, the on-screen keyboard, dialer and calculator can be “attached” to the right or left edge of the screen to make them more convenient to use. An important feature of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is the stylus, which significantly expands the capabilities of the device. The smartphone recognizes handwritten text written with the stylus, and it also has several programs designed specifically for using the stylus. The stylus of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, compared to the previous version of the smartphone, has become thinner, lighter and more comfortable.
The device works under the control of Samsung's proprietary shell - TouchWiz. In it, the manufacturer added its own browser, dialer, SMS client, music and video players, weather application and many other programs. For example, the S Memo app is a great note-taking program with handwriting support.
