![]() It's good that Samsung has placed the power button on the side and not on the top, in line with other large screen phones, but if you have small hands you'll still find the location a little cumbersome. The power button is on the right edge of the Note 3, volume rocker on the left, a 3.5mm headset jack and Infrared receiver on the top and a new USB 3.0 port sits at the bottom aloneg with a small speaker grill and the slot for the S-Pen stylus. The phone's front panel is surrounded by a chrome frame, which gives a premium feel to the Galaxy Note 3, but the edges sport a faux-metal finish with a ribbed pattern. The different sensors, front camera, notification light and earpiece grill sit above the Note 3's screen. The front of the phone still features a physical Home button and two capacitive touch buttons for Menu and Back controls. The bezel is narrow on the left and right sides and unlike the Galaxy Note II, the Galaxy Note 3 is not beveled above and below the screen and is flatter, sporting a textured dark grey finish. ![]() The front of the phone is dominated by its 5.7-inch Full-HD Super AMOLED display. The Note 3 is available in three colours - Jet Black, Classic White, and Blush Pink, and we got a Jet Black phone as our review unit.

The Note 3 is essentially made of plastic but Samsung has cleverly disguised the finish of certain elements to give the smartphone a premium fit and finish. The Note 3 looks much more similar to the first-generation Note than the Note II, which was more curved. When we first lay our hands on the phone, it reminded us of the original Note. The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 retains the same design that gave the Note series of smartphones their own identity. We try to find out if its still the best phablet in the market, in our review. With the Note 3, Samsung claims to take the experience at the next level. The Galaxy Note's strength is the S Pen, the intelligent stylus that accompanies the device and allows users to do more than just navigate the user interface and scribble notes. ![]() It even inspired other device makers to launch similar devices, though it's been hard for them to offer a differentiating feature. While naysayers were initially critical of its ungainly size, it did manage to attract a large number of consumers who were looking for a device that integrated the big screen of a tablet with the portability and convenience of a smartphone. Samsung created a new category when it launched the Galaxy Note. ![]()
