Galaxy Note 3: worth the money?

[neymar32]

Whats your opinion? I mean I want to buy it but I'm finding the price and the size of its screen way off my vbudget

You answered your own question. If it's out of your budget then it is definitely not worth the money. There is nothing that is worth it if you can't afford it. Not to be a jerk but that is how it is.

Sorry I didnt make my self clear. I wanted to say that IMO the Note 3 does not worth its money but there are many futures like multitasking and the 4K camera that are selling points.

Don't buy it!! End of story..

Ahhh. Gotcha. For me the phone was worth it. I just now jumped on the note bandwagon because the size was always a turnoff, but with every phone out there getting bigger it isn't a big deal to me. It is built so that the bulk isn't really that noticeable but the screen real estate is. I also use it at work. It has replaced the dozens of memo pads that I have to flip back through and worry about keeping up with or having on me at that time. Plus the phone is the top of the line when it comes to hardware.

It cost me $140. It was worth it.

Let me start by saying that I love my Note 3. I was on edge about getting the Note 2 but after trying this model I decided to purchase it full price. Its a great phone and has nice features but it is expensive for a phone. Best thing to do is go to your local store that carries it and try it out for a little bit then decide.

I bought it for $90 on contract on Verizon release day, so yeah, it was worth it. Screen is sharp and brighter than my note 2. Ir blaster is nice. Spen works on the capacitive buttons. But honestly if I had to pay $300,I would not have gotten it.

Though I guess it depends on what you have now

The first rule of personal finance is always, if it's not in your budget don't buy it!

But if it is in your budget, yes it's totally worth it. Far better phone than the Note and Note 2.

Only you can make that kind of decision. I suggest you look at some reviews and videos of the Note 3, see if you would use the features that you can ONLY get with the Note 3 and do the same for the Note 2. Frankly, I love S-notes and multi-view so both those devices would be fine for the majority of what I do. But only YOU know how you would use the Note 3 features and if it's worth it to you.

I frankly dont use the multi window and s-pen features, I just got this device for the gorgeous Specs and big Screen. I AM ******* LOVING IT.
Also, interesting to note this is my First Android device/experience and coming from iPhone 4S upgrade.

Just don't base your decision on the benchmarks:

It has been covered pretty extensively how inaccurate and easy it is to manipulate these benchmarks.

They are software tools and need to be used appropriately and presented in the right way.

And you are right. No one should base a purchase on benchmarks. That is just silly.

I love my note 3. I use the spen a lot and also the screen splitting is usable. Expensive toy, but for me it has been worth it.

Defiantly worth the money for me...One thing you followed up with was the 4k video, if there are concerns about the cost of the phone, I'm guessing you don't have anything that will play back the 4k video on.
