First time using Android/Samsung/phablet.

Yes, the phone IS big. Hello, its called a phablet for a reason. I can use it with one hand but prefer not too. Somehow feels safer with two hands. Its thinner and lighter than my iPhone 5.

The back cover doesn't feel great but DUH, its not real leather so what do you expect? Anyway I use it with a Samsung wallet flip cover so my back is now a PVC cover.

S-pen and air control has its uses but not something I'll use all the times. Nevertheless useful to have.

Until such time they can create an aluminum casing which allows you to change battery, I would rather my phone has a "cheapo" plastic casing if that allows me to change batteries. Yes, there are power banks but I prefer the smaller size & lighter weight of a spare battery.

Today my note 3 act strangely.
Suddenly when I surf the internet there is voice background.
Such as "page loaded or started"

try to Turn it off but cannot find the menu.
I go to text to speech but does not work also.

Anyone has any idea to turn it off?

TAKING CARE

Sian: ( The bevel is do weak, spot a small dent on top near the sensor n scrap on bottom left hand

hmm what happen drop?

now it's also time to think how to take good care of my note 3 too.

want to use the back leather- dont want to cover it...

or Using bumper or front screen protector etc....


i always use NAKED will be the best, now thinking to buy a bumper to protect the edges....edges will tend to PEEL if knocked upon.........- which is the highest risk that can happen.

it's not lighter @ 168g vs iphone 5's 112g
but the big physical size gives off the false impression that it's lighter :s12:
