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..

Battery life is iffy even for me, but I think your unit has a problem with the rotation....never have it on mine.

Loading slow???? Mine is blazing especially on 4G....

I suggest you perform a factory reset and try again.

I still get the same SOT as my Note2. Wonder why I can't ever hit 6 hours.....

I just got myself a white Galaxy Note 3 from Celcom Midvalley. Luckily they still got the white unit because i've been following this forum since the launch day and most said that the white one is out of stock already. Hehe~ and my screen protector was purchased from Samsung Midvalley, RM68. They also got S View cover around RM189 if I'm not mistaken but i didnt buy it since they only got black and white color for now. Gonna wait a little bit and get my favorite color for my baby note 3 smile.gif

Note 3 cable is different from Note 2.  The Note 2 USB connector can't hook up to Note 3 phone.

Why cannot ? Fit perfectly.

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

Bro, no offence but i see most of your comments are done not based on your knowledge as you are not always sure yourself but done to increase your post count. Gets kind of irritating to read your reply after awhile. If you want to help members, please help with proper advice not typing to just increase your post count.

In his case, how can you say they would cut it off as human damage? Please do not scare him. As long as there is no signs of him dropping the device and the device warranty flag is intact, no reason for them to claim it's a human done damage. doh.gif doh.gif doh.gif

Any standard microusb cable can be used for charging. See pic in post 3, Specs > Microusb 3.

I suggest you read page 1 and watch some of the videos.

You should get facts correct. However you are at least a little above someone else.

Is this still valid? I still see Samsung putting up ads about buy N3 and win gear..the 500 unit haven't finish? Impossible.. Or this is just a trap to catch more customers? shakehead.gif

Thanks for the forumers sharing their "screen on time". It seems that note 3 is on par as note 2 in this department of SOT. At least, samsung managed to maintain despite of the HD screen and faster processor.

Any body can share their SOT on note 3? Thanks.
