Actually after using note 3 for sometime I kinda feel the material built isn't as premium as note 2. Somehow even my mega 6.3 and HTC butterfly S felt much solid.
Light plasticky feeling is all I felt from using this phone till now, same goes for the S4 which was why I never bought that. For the price we are paying Samsung should invest more on the materials eg. protective glass & aluminium etc.
Not sure my finding is correct? But according what I know, note 3 mfg cost is 240usd and iphone 5s is 200usd(est), but the appearance for iphone look mor premium,maybe most of the cost for note 3 go to the internal like the chip, ram, memory etc...
Anyway, if u want samsung, it will be all plastic regardless s4, s3, note 2 or note 3.....
