I agree with you the note 3 isn't really a big deal if you have already a note 2. I set up a note 3 for my dad and I was amazed at how I didn't covet it as there just wasn't much new ( that I found useful for myself) . The one thing that I did like however was the camera. It was much more successful at taking a sharp picture which I presume has to do with shutter speed
Data speeds are what drew me to the note 3. Thanks to advanced wireless services, my average speeds increased 5 fold over my note 2 at work which has heavily loaded towers.
Aside from that, the display is sharper and more importantly brighter, which is especially important in direct sunlight.
The s pen on the note 3 works for the menu and back buttons.
The ir blaster is convenient because I always lose my remote.
S health is great in providing feedback on how much I have walked. It has helped me to increase my walking.
Overall, the note 3 was a worthwhile improvement over the note 2 for my uses.
But depending on your needs, it may or may not be worthwhile.
