so far battery life seems to be as good as my note 4.

very happy with the phone so far but knowing me, soon, i will revert to note 4 cos i like the pen.

the motorised camera is quite amazing.

my main gripe is i wish the finger print scanner were as big as the huawei one.

Comparing with Note 4
Note 4 over N3
- generally faster esp with file copying
- slimmer
- feels better in the hand
- a more sensible headphone jack
- better screen
- better auto brightness
- Spen!!!!
- GPS is better
- more RAM

N3 over Note 4
- faster camera
- more wow factor with the camera module
- much better mono speaker
- better finger print scanner
- colorOS is a more user friendly OS than touchwiz
- can be dual sim (not checked whether it is dual standby though)
- lower price point plus got freebies
- gestures are great!!
- fast charging is quite phenomenal

The placement of the monospeaker is particularly smart. It is at the bottom but more importantly, because of the skylight notification portion, the speaker is not the last part of the phone. This is important because for phones with bottom-mounted speakers, when i play games and hold the bottom, my palm covers the speaker. Additionally, when the phone is placed on the table, with the skylight bulge and the table flanking the speaker, there is a lot of resonance, making the speaker pretty loud!! At the same time, on speaker phone mode, i can cup my palm over the bottom to increase the volume. In all, this is the best implementation of bottom speaker.

You can install whatever launcher and it will work as it is android :)

Battery life still can't comment yet, 2nd day using but the vooc fast charge is real fast!

I used to want the N1 and totally forgot N3 is already available. How's the camera in this phone? I used Oppo 7A and was quite happy with the camera.

Now waiting for my tempered glass and then to shop for a better case. Actually the gift flip cover quite nice looking but I tend to make things dirty easily..

Battery life should be good, consistent. Havet used the camera and charge using my regular 2A charger for now.

Call volume and speaker volume is a huge improvement from the n1, glad that I upgraded hahaha also due to my n1 not able to install android wear for my moto 360..

Saw this at the oppo store. Camera seems pretty good. Though I mentioned other phones and sales person quickly tried to sway me to buy oppo phones and not other brands. Lol!

Wah, just now I was at nex and popped by the shittel shop to look at the oppo n3. Build quality quite nice, size is big but so are my other phones ;p. But I don't like the interface though, any bro here put nova launcher on it before? Do we get app drawer with nova launcher? Many thanks :)

Bro.. only oppo store sell n3 and they won't give discount. So don brag here unless u got it from lazada la.

I don't know what's there to brag. I'm just saying I got it at a cheaper price. And yes, I bought it from someone who has brand new. Now want to get tempered glass and there's no other casing other than the ones given as freebies?
