Hello everybody, I just bought the note 3 yesterday and after about a days usage here are my thoughts about it..
Firstly, I had high expectations for this phone.
Unfortunately,the battery life on this phone is so bad..
I started of at 100% and now its 80% after about half and hour.
I did normal browsing only..
Next the worst thing I had experienced is the screen rotation. Personally it took my note 3 about 3 to 4 seconds to rotate the screen.. This is really unacceptable.. my previous note 2 had almost instantaneous screen rotation.. And the speaker quality on note 3 is really bad as compared to note 2.. the bass is flat and not even pleasurable to listen songs on note 3's speakers...
Next the screen. Yes I agree its much sharper than note 2 but its saturation of colour is just so flat, nothing to be impressed...
Anyway dont shoot me down immediately or throw tantrums at me yet..
I did not even install many apps yet and I cant imagine what would happen down the road with more apps.. This is from what I experienced within a day.. And last but not least the loading page on the note 3 when browsing is so bad.. everytime I rotate have to wait 4 seconds and when it finally decides to rotate, it had white screen which implies incomplete loading of the page.. and even after it had finished loading.. when I rotate the screen to a different orientation, the buffering white page appeared...
As for me, I would personally feel that overall the note 2 is still a better choice despite inferior to note 3's specs..
Anyway I would like to know if anybody had experienced this before and would like to share your experiences here.. and please dont shoot me down.. Thanks.. this is my humble opinion only..

Has anyone has this type of cover? What do you guys think of it?? Anyways, went to Samsung OU and saw the SCover N3 for 299!!!! Damn.... talk about overpriced hahah.. want more thing, don't know about you guys but, i feel the charging using the original note3 charger takes ages!!! Using my previous ipad charger with 5amp output really provides blazing fast charge. Appreciate comments and experience with this.

and any suggestions on powerbricks?

I charged mine this morning at 3.30am. Went from 29% to 100% at 5.30am.

Are you sharing the same outlet for multiple devices? Last time I experienced the same but after trial and error I dedicated its own charging port straight from the wall.

You should try it.

Wow seriously is this the case. Just sold my note 2 and planning to get the note 3 by Sunday. Honest honest opinion. Thats good and rare. Now its time to see if this is a localized case or problem for all users?

RM299? really overprice

I've bought mine at Samsung Store @ The Gardens, mid Valley last wednesday coz i won the galaxy gear countdown to 3 contest, I'm from kuala terengganu btw. After got it straight go back to my hometown, i just played with it last 2 days when suddenly there's a loud weird sound when i was surfing the net using chrome browser that was preinstalled n then the phone stop responding, after that i tried to restart it but cannot then i took off the battery n put it back, tried to swotch on it, but stuck at the smasung galaxy note 3 logo, tried so many times, sometimes it managed to go until samsung circle logo but then stuck again... Anyone heres got the same problem? Is it motherboard failure? Can i get 1to 1 replacement if i send it to any service centre here in kuala terengganu? Or do i need to send it back to the samsung store the gardens? Pls help me... Tq

Although I did own Note 3 yet, but I kinda hard to believe this is a default issue on Note 3.. My XZU everything is working flawlessly, thanks to the latest proc and gpu.. Page load during web browsing also fast, no checker box.. Images also loading fast.. I think Note 3 should perform if not the same, better.. Need other user to confirm this.. If others did not experience this, maybe u should try to hard reset /calibrate your unit, or go to sc

lol loud weird sound
if explode then can claim alot money from Samsung

I don't have such problem.

Yupz... That weird sound i dunno how to tell... After that sound, my note 3 gone koma or mb dead already? Huhu... Will try go to sc this morning see how... Damn it, i dun hv any other phone to use... If can get replacement on the spot ok la, but if cannot ;( huwaaa

mostly MB problem

If mb prob can get 1 to 1 replacement or not?

Anyone knows what's the mobile site for maybank2u? I know there is one which I manage to save on my old phone but I can't restore as I haven't root my device yet.

Maybe can, coz you just bought. see SC comment what, if they say is human damage then you die lo, no replacement

or you can download maybank2u from playstore with limited use.I use that just to check balance hehe

human damaged? I haven't done anything yet to the phone... ;(

With prices at 2.2k to 2.4k....samsung will be fu***d upside down if they play their customer.

Ouch...failure on the first day..
