Design
There are big improvements to the design. Samsung’s attention to detail has certainly raised, though its not even close to HTC. The back cover is now made up of faux leather but has the same plastic inside. Like S4’s design, the sides of the Note 3 have been given a metallic look, though they are plastic.
The Note 3 gains screen size without gaining increase in form factor. Its still comfortable to hold in hands, it only feels better than Note 2 when held.
Note 3 Price & Availability
Note 3 would be available in October in US and September end for rest of the world. Note 3 is priced at $699 unlocked.
