The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is an Android phablet smartphone produced by Samsung Electronics. The Galaxy Note 3 was unveiled during a Samsung press conference at IFA Berlin on September 4, 2013, and released on same month. Serving as a successor to the Galaxy Note II, the Note 3 was designed to have a lighter, more upscale design than previous iterations of the Galaxy series (with a plastic leather backing and faux metallic bezel), and to expand upon the stylus and multitasking-oriented functionality in its software—which includes a new navigation wheel for pen-enabled apps, along with pop-up apps and expanded multi-window functionality.
Specifications
Hardware
The Galaxy Note 3's design was intended to carry a more upscale, "premium" look in comparison to previous Samsung devices. Although it carries a similarly polycarbonate-oriented design to other recent Samsung devices, the Galaxy Note 3 has a faux metallic bezel and a rear cover made of plastic leather with faux stitching. With a thickness of 8.3 mm (0.33 in), it is slightly thinner than the Galaxy Note II, and is also slightly lighter. The LTE version (SM-N9005) of the Galaxy Note 3 is powered by a 2.3 GHz four-core Snapdragon 800 chip with 3 GB of RAM, while the GSM version (SM-N900) will use an 1.9 GHz eight-core Exynos 5 Octa instead. The device also includes a 5.7-inch 1080p Super AMOLED display, a 13-megapixel rear-facing camera capable of filming videos in 1080p at 60 fps and 4K resolution at 30 fps, 32 or 64 GB of internal storage, and a 3200 mAh battery. As with other Galaxy Note series devices, the Galaxy Note 3 ships with an S Pen stylus, which has been updated to use a more symmetrical shape. The Galaxy Note 3 is also the first smartphone to include support for USB 3.0, which enables faster data transfers and charging when attached to a compatible port.
Software
The Galaxy Note 3 will ship with Android 4.3 "Jelly Bean" and Samsung's proprietary TouchWiz user interface and software. Additional pen-oriented features have been added to the Note 3's software; removing the stylus from its compartment (or pressing its button whilst hovering over the display) activates an Air Command menu which provides shortcuts to pen-oriented features such as Action Memos (on-screen sticky notes that use handwriting recognition to detect their contents and provide relevant actions, such as looking up addresses on Google Maps and dialing phone numbers), Screen Write (an annotation tool), Pen Window (which allows users to draw pop-up windows to run certain apps inside), the search tool S Finder, and Scrapbook. The multi-window functionality has also been updated with expanded app support, the ability to run multiple instances of a single app, and the ability to drag and drop content between apps. The device also ships with a news aggregator app known as My Magazine, accessible by swiping up from the bottom of the screen, and an updated version of S Note.
Release
Samsung first teased the unveiling of the Galaxy Note 3 with its announcement of a Samsung Unpacked event on September 4, 2013 at IFA Berlin, which contained the tagline "Note the date." The international Galaxy Note 3 will be released on September 25, 2013 in over 140 countries, while its U.S. and Japanese releases are scheduled for October 2013. All Galaxy Note 3s will also include a free one-year subscription to Evernote Premium.
Variants
The Galaxy Note 3 will be released in several model variants, including GSM models and models with LTE support.
To prevent grey market reselling, the Galaxy Note 3 implements a regional lockout system in certain regions; requiring that the first SIM card be from a carrier in that region (Europe, North America and other). If then you will be in other region you may use local SIM card, but not longer than for 90 days. Samsung stated that the lock would be removed once a valid SIM card is used. If you have installed wrong SIM card the phone will ask you a code, if you'll enter this code incorrectly several times then the device will block itself (you'll need to pay to unblock it). The company also indicated that it implemented a similar policy on the Galaxy S III, S4, Note II, and S4 Mini for models manufactured after July 2013.
Reception
Pre-release
After its unveiling, The Verge complimented the incremental improvements to the Galaxy Note 3's hardware and software, considering it to be the company's "best attempt yet at making touch input optional on a mobile device." Its overall design was considered to be "cohesive and well thought-out" despite Samsung's continuing use of plastic, and subtle changes such as a symmetrically-shaped stylus were also noted. However, the My Magazine app was panned for being a "tacked on" gimmick. TechRadar considered the Galaxy Note 3 to be an evolution in comparison to its predecessor (including its faster hardware and bigger screen), but criticized the device's design for not looking as "slick and premium" in real life as it did during the promotional video.
