Samsung did a good job here, they manage to squeeze a large display into the Note 3 but does not increases the size of the phone, instead it is thinner and lighter than its predecessor, the Galaxy Note 2.

Under the hood, the Galaxy Note 3 is powered by the Snapdragon 800 Quad-core 2.3 GHz processor and paired with 3 GB of RAM. Scrolling between the home screens are fast and smooth. We are happy to said that everything is running fast on the Note 3 and its performance was boosted from the previous generation Note.

Verdict

Oh Well, we manage to play around with the Galaxy Note 3 for a few minutes and it was a short time but we're able to do a quick hands on. For me, it was a giant size phone with a beautiful Full HD screen and a fast performance device.

It has a decent 13 MP camera and a new S Pen that enhanced the user experience of the Note. The leather back case give a better touch than the cheap plastic feel on the Note 2. Does the Note 3 is a worth to upgrade from the Note 2? We'll keep an eye on it.
