Why ??? Don't tell me you are like one of the kiasu n kiasi guy in XZU forum who worried about scratches. He even use phone with original screen cover with all the printed stuffs. Don't worry is gorilla glass n I tested dragging the display with blade n screwdriver on day one itself. I did similarly on Note n posted video of it on youtube

sweat.gif really, who did that? but ya, because of the anti-shatter film, XZU front and back panel gets scratch easily.. but not the glass panel underneath of course.. my xzu already got a few distinct scratches on both front and back on the film, as i don't use sp at all.. i just wait for time when i think its ugly enough, i will just tear off the film..

So note 3 screen is just 0.2" bigger than Note2.. When using it, does it feels like it have a bigger screen, or is it just feel same size as Note 2? Anyone still having both phone can comment?

Note is almost equivalent to their S series then.

.....and it was clear that the phablet – now a word in the Oxford dictionary – was here to stay, and that Samsung was the unchallenged king of the phablet market.

may i opt to disagree? laugh.gif not yet king, too early to say.. even Apple did not said they were the king of smartphone

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..

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

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
