Edited by Jerry Rivers, Lynn, Maria Quinney, Eng
For many, the Samsung Galaxy Note3 is considered one of the best phones in 2013. It has a great feel, and it's longer and slimmer than the Note2, with more power. It has even better features than its predecessor, jammed into this small "smartphone/Tablet", AKA phablet mobile device. The Note3 comes at a high price, but if you can buy one, it is well worth the money. In the United States, expect to pay around $300 on contract, while in the United Kingdom the plan will be about £47 monthly for the free device. Here are some of the many reasons it will be considered one of the best mobile devices for 2013.
The Galaxy Note3 is a dazzler. Among new features are a 13-megapixel camera with a better flash than the Note2, and an S Pen with lots of uses. This is the first handheld smartphone to pack 3 GB of random access memory (RAM) for easy multi-tasking. The screen is bigger, too, with a 5.7-inch display, and an impressive 1080p HD display. You will likely also be pleased with its efficiency on applications. It possesses a high-performing quad core microprocessor that makes the speed and multi-tasking even better. It is great for your business and home as well. In business you can be even more productive with this Mighty Mouse of a smartphone and Tablet rolled into one. If you are involved in any form of design, an avid gamer, or one who is into visual entertainment, you will be very pleased with its performance.

The Galaxy Note3 S Pen
The new Galaxy Note3 S pen is improved with the addition of Air Command, an application with a "fan dock" array that opens up with your S Pen for quick access to several options: A Scrapbook, S Finder, Screen Write, Action Memo, Pen Window, and S Note. You can pair the S Note to exchange photos and files with your PC. Just hold the S Pen slightly above the surface to draw.
With the Scrapbook, you can just sketch a circle around a photo that you want to save and place it in another location. With Action Memo you can jot down a phone number, and it will actually call that number automatically. With S Finder you can find any item on your Galaxy Note3. With Pen Window, you can sketch a square around an app icon to access it.
The Samsung Galaxy Note3 is more intuitive than many mobile devices. You can easily share S Notes with other mobile devices or computers. If you have one app open, you can keep it open while you select a couple more apps on the home screen. All you have to do is simply draw a square around them.
The Samsung Galaxy Note3 Design
Here are several reasons that its design makes the Galaxy Note3 one of the best phones of 2013:
- 1This smart phone/Tablet, or phablet design was innovational a few years ago, and set the standard for the entire industry because of its global popularity. Now, with its slimmer, lighter build, and slightly larger 5.7" diagonal screen, other companies will probably follow once again.Samsung deserves credit for its entire Note line.
- 2You can even wear gloves and these buttons will function. The screen adjusts automatically to your touch, so there is no need for adjustment.All keys can be easily used with the touchscreen application when not using the handy S Pen.
- 3It is a compensation, though, with its easy navigation. You have the option to make the keyboard smaller, and/or shift it from side to side if you need to text with one hand.You will have to hold the Galaxy Note3 carefully if you use one hand, but that is understandable since it is also a Tablet.
- 4It actually has a comfortable soft texture even though it is composed of plastic. This back is removable as usual. Inside are the 3200mAH replaceable battery with the microSD and SIM slots.The notebook-like stitched-looking faux leather back is a bold step since no other mobile device has ever deviated from the metal appearance.
- 5There will be many colors also available for protective S View cases.Colors for the exterior will be the standard black or white, as well as a pleasing pink.
The Samsung Galaxy Note3 Display
- 1All characters and icons have a sharp, crisp edge. Amazingly, this is true even when you zoom in.The resolution is excellent on the bigger 5.7" screen with its 1080 X 1920ppi density.
- 2You can opt for one of several color settings, and can select more natural hues if you want the colors more realistic. The colors in each of the several modes will adjust automatically.Colors are bright due to the AMOLED technology.
- 3There is surprisingly little reflection to obstruct your visibility. The Samsung engineers designed the Note3 with extremely low reflecting if you are in direct sunlight. Even when looking at the screen from various angles the colors hold true with no distortion of images.If you are outdoors, the screen is still legible because of the AMOLED technology.
It is no wonder that loyal Galaxy users and critics alike are saying the Samsung Galaxy Note3 is considered one of the best phones in 2013. Despite the steep price, it comes with many easy-to-use functions that set it ahead of the phablet industry once again. It will be interesting to see what changes the competition will make to keep pace. Perhaps the days of all-metal looking smart phones around the world are over.
