Samsung Galaxy Note 3 reviews say a new flagship device, namely the Samsung Galaxy S5 will be released within hours at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is a step up from the Samsung Note 3 and Samsung Galaxy S4, making it a Samsung flagship device.

Pointing out that this is a fairly largely device that is outfitted with a 5.7"screen with a 1920x1080 AMOLED display. The funny thing is that the Note 3 is thinner and lighter than the Galaxy Note 2. Not bad for some revamping architecture on the Note 3.

What's more? You get a larger battery. So in every sense of the word the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is more compact than the previous flagship phone.

Nonetheless, it is a good idea to understand that it is bigger than your average phone, which makes it a two-handed device for most users - unless you have really big hands.

What makes this an interesting phone is that the façade of the Note 3 has the typical squarish look that resembles other flagships like the Samsung Galaxy S4, soon to be replaced by the more advanced fingerprint sensor sporting Samsung Galaxy S5.

Like most Samsung's the home button is on the front, which goes back to the Samsung Galaxy Note 1 or even its predecessors.

The silver metal band goes around the side of the phone, and this is where your power button, and the volume button are placed. They do appear to be a little high up on the side, which forces you to stretch your fingers a bit more. A person with small hands might have a hard time hitting those high buttons, but then again how many Samsung Galaxy users have small hands?!

Up on top, the headphone jack, the IR blaster and the microphone are arranged neatly. The bottom of the phone is equipped with a slightly smaller speaker along with the USB 3.0 port.

When you dislodge the removable back, you will notice that the batter is large because it has a 3200 mAh battery, probably the biggest you will find on any smartphone on the market. It actually looks like the size of the iPhone display, which doesn't say anything about the comparison of the two brands.

When the battery case is open, you will notice the camera and flash and the memory card and sim card holders. The stylus is tucked away neatly on the side. The bottom side of the phone has a curvy plastic grip so that it feels nice when you hold it in your hand.

Some Samsung fans are keen on getting a leather phone, and the look on the Note 3 appears to be leather but is actually plastic. The design which includes faux lether may have started with the Samsung Note 1, which has a similar look.

The 3.0 USB cable does a good job of transferring data faster than the older microUSB cable.

Taking a peek at the spec list, the octa core version, it has a 1.9GHz Quad Core processor and a 1.3 GHz Quad Core processor. This phone also has 3 GB Ram giving you the impression that this is one serious monster of a phone.

It handles all kinds of apps, both daily and special applications you might use for work or leisure. Great

Graphics are a hallmark of the display and the Note 3 responds extremely well to the stylus and to your hands.

The Samsung Note 3 is running on Android 4.3 with an update to Android 4.4 imminent as a rollout of Samsung devices has already begun in the U.S., Europe and Asia.

It has S voice, which is not as good as Siri or Google Now, but it's a step up from Note2.

Multi-window option for multi tasking is fabulous.

Display is much better than Note 2 with more than 386 pixels/inch. According to YouTube tech reviewer, Marques Brownlee, the Note 3 has the best display on any mobile device like other notable displays on LG G2, and the HTC1.

That might be the best physical feature but the 13mp camera is pretty awesome.

The Samsung Note 3 sort of rides piggyback on some of the outstanding features of the Samsung Galaxy

S4, so you'll want to look carefully at the S series and make sure you see something such as the stylus in the Note 3 that the S4 doesn't have to get yourself a Samsung Note 3
