The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 brings some of the best features of a smartphone and mixes them with a tablet and S Pen to make a device that has already seen over 5 million units shipped since its release in October. The Galaxy Note 3 picks up where the Note 2 left off and brings with it a larger 5.7-inch 1080p Full HD display, a powerful 2.3GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, enhanced S Pen functionality and more.
Verizon is currently charging $299.99 for the Galaxy Note 3 when signing a new 2-year contract, but now you can pick up the same device from Amazon for $169.99.
The Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 3 features a 5.7-inch 1080p Full HD Super AMOLED display with a pixel density of 386 pixels per inch (ppi) and runs Android 4.3 with Samsung's TouchWiz UI on top. It is powered by a 2.3GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, an Adreno 330 graphics processing unit (GPU) and 3GB of RAM. Its camera capabilities include a 13-megapixel illuminated rear camera with "smart stabilization" and a 2-megapixel front-facing shooter, with both cameras able to record 1080p HD video.
The Galaxy Note 3 includes 32GB of internal storage and has a microSD expansion slot that will support up to 64GB microSD cards. Its wireless connectivity options consist of a 4G LTE radio, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS, NFC, and an IR blaster to turn the Note 3 into a universal remote control and it also features a dedicated program guide. Samsung has packed a large 3,200 mAh removable battery and enhanced S Pen functionality, and has also ditched its usually glossy plastic back case on the Note 3. Instead, the company decided to go for a faux-leather back that makes the phablet feel better and more secure in the hand and also adds more of a premium look to it.
