Samsung Galaxy Note 3 - user opinions and reviews

The Galaxy Note 3 is an awesome device. Despite being a four year old phone at this point, my Note 3 has both stood the test of time and clumsiness. At this point, most if not all of the Note 3 variants are easily root-able, and I believe all are boot-loader unlock-able. Mine is carrier unlocked as well, and I'd assume that all of the GSM modules are carrier unlock-able as well.
The Note 3 features a quad core ARM7 processor (some are actually octo-core, incredibly), 3 gigs of RAM, descent internal storage, external SD support, USB 3 support, and of course, my favorite part-- a removable battery! These features make the device future-proof, expandable, and upgradeable.
The stock ROM can be updated to Android Lollipop 5.0, but if you unlock your boot-loader, you can run anything you'd like on it. For instance, currently, I am running a custom ported version of Google's latest OS: Android Nougat 7.1.1/LineageOS 14.1.1 (formerly CyanogenMod), but there are plenty of custom ROMs' available for this device. A few developers have even ported the stock Note 7 ROM to the Note 3, which brings into question the cost effectiveness of upgrading to a newer device.
Other thoughts... Get a *tempered glass* screen protector, and a protective case. You don't need a bulky Otterbox if you like the slimness of the phone, as this phone is pretty durable, a thin case will do the trick, provided you are reasonably careful with it.
Issues: After dropping the phone several hundred times, the camera developed a small issue with the autofocus. Sometime, when launching the camera, I can feel the lens vibrating as the camera struggles to autofocus. This is a minor annoyance and can be remedied by briskly, and momentarily shaking the phone around. After that, the camera seems to focus without issue.
Overall I'd give this phone a 5/5 stars. It totally exceeded my expectations of a device manufactured in 2013.

AnonD-365057, 08 Mar 2017Note 3 N900 supports 64gb only. Probably 9005 supports 128 gb hi Nikhil. mines supports 64gb. but ive been using 128gb. so n900 model should support it to. 64gb wasnt enough for me. so i bought it to try it and it worked fine happy to say. ive been using it for a long time now.

Anonymous, 07 Mar 2017What i know is not all memory card suitable..sometimes lagging or loading media too long..even... morePersonally i prefer sandisks ultra class 10 as ive been using this brand for years and ive bought samsung memory card also. Reading kingston it has the same specs as sandisk class 10 i think? Maybe im wrong? Ive never used kingsdon so i cant comment on it. But everyone has diff views on which make of memory card that they prefer. So if you prefer kingsdson then buy that one. I hope this helps Anonymous.
