Samsung Galaxy Note 3 reviews have been exceedingly in favor of the new design and specs of the tech giant’s flagship phablet. Many are considering the device’s look and feel a huge boon. The first thing many would appreciate in the new Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is the enlarged 5.7in display. Samsung has kept the rest of the device the same size as its predecessor expanding the display as they have recently been aiming for with all their successor models. This means users should look forward to a much narrower bezel despite the generous Super AMOLED display size. Keeping in line with all the recent smartphones, Samsung has also given the Galaxy Note 3 a full HD 1080p resolution for extreme color and clarity.

According to Know Your Mobile, Samsung has chosen a faux leather back panel that is soft to the touch with fine stitching that is appealing to the eye. The South Korean tech giant ensured that they used synthetic leather that you can easily clean. This is deemed a step in the right directions by many users and critics who were not fans of the plastic used on former handsets. The plastic according to Know Your Mobile was slippery and gave the device a cheap look. The new back panel on the other hand feels solid in the hand and offers some good gripping.

Know Your Mobile also stated that Samsung intends to rollout the Galaxy Note 3 with quite a wide variety of interchangeable back panels that come in a host of colors and accessories. There are a minimum of 10 colors to choose from and even a cover that spots a window for easy glancing.

When it comes to performance KYM reports that Samsung made use of the Snapdragon 800 Quad-core chip from Qualcomm. This has greatly made the UI smooth and very responsive. Users will be able to rapidly weave through their windowed apps and easily multitask on a larger scale. It also comes with a scrapbook feature that allows easy storing, finding and opening of information.

KYM reports that Samsung has also added an Air Command Feature. This will let users open a radial control wheel that will allow them to use the S-Pen commands without touching the screen. KYM describes the Galaxy Note 3 is a definite win but did not comment on other features such as the camera or the available S-Pen functions.
