Samsung has managed to pack a lot more into a lighter phone, and managed to increase the screen size slightly. The phone feels better than the Samsung Galaxy Note 2, a little less "clunky". I like the feel of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, when I use it as a phone and when I use it like a tablet.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is very responsive and easy to maneuver. It comes with Android 4.3, which is the most current build to date. I have had about 2 reboots, and a few freeze ups on the phone; but I also put a lot more apps and files on my phones than most people do since I use my phone for business. The average user should not expect to have the same amount of reboots and freeze ups.
The display on the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is a Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen, 16M colors multi-touch. That is to say that the screen looks really good, clear, and crisp; no noticeable blurring of text.
The camera is a 13 MP, 4128 x 3096 pixels, autofocus, LED flash, which takes good, clear pictures. The camera also has lots of options, and some very unique options on it. It is fair to say that this phone's camera is of a quality that I can se it for field work.

The processor on this phone is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 (N9005, N9002)/ Exynos 5 Octa 5420 (N9000); which is to say that it is very powerful and the phone is very fast when opening applications and working in applications.It is also worth mentioning that the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 has 3072 MB RAM (3 GB of RAM); which means that you can do more with it. You can have more applications open, and run more background processes. I should also say that no matter how much RAM a device has, it is never enough for me.
Battery life on the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is the one "not so good" rating for the Note 3. While the battery life is okay, it is nowhere near amazing or even impressive. You can work through an 8 hour workday with medium usage, without a charge. You will have to charge your Samsung Galaxy Note 3 once a day. The solutions is to buy a few chargers, 2 or 3 for home and office and a car charger. If you charge at every available opportunity you can easily go 12 to 14 hours with the Samsung Galaxy Note with a good amount of usage. BUY A FEW EXTRA CHARGERS!
Of course with the Android Play Store, you will never be lacking your choice of applications. In addition Samsung also has their own application market, with some very nice applications for free to cheap. Finding the right applications that are effective to what you want to do with your device is always key to how much you will get out of your device. The S Pen features are really nice and greatly enhanced since the Samsung Galaxy Note 2. The stylus seems to be better built, and the S Note Application is rich with useful features.
And now for another interesting part of the phone, yes the Samsung Galaxy Gear Watch. A really nice looking, elegant watch that is not clunky and fits well. Below is a picture of the Samsung Galaxy Gear Watch:

The Samsung Galaxy Gear Watch has a 1.9 Mega Pixel camera on it. The camera works very well, but don't expect to be shooting long distance telephoto shots with it. Remember, 1.9 Mega Pixels does give the Samsung Galaxy Gear some limitation. The camera works well for cover camera usage for objects that are up to 20 feet away. Below are some pictures shot with the Samsung Galaxy Gear:

The Samsung Galaxy Gear Watch is also very responsive and easy to maneuver. The applications on the Galaxy Gear are well organized and easy to get to. There is lots one can do with this watch and Samsung seems to be adding more and more application for the watch all of the time. There is even a pedometer on it to keep track of your steps if you are a walker, there are some good fitness applications to add to the watch from the Samsung Gear Store. Evernote has an application for the watch which functions well. I have been able to shoot pictures, record video and record audio with the Samsung Galaxy Gear with great ease. I have also been able to receive calls and dial out on my Samsung Galaxy Gear with pretty good call quality thanks to the noise canceling Microphone that is on the watch.
The price for one of these devices is a little on the high side, but if your consideration for quality trumps price, this phone is worth it. You can expect to pay in the $750.00 range for one of these phones (although I got mine at a very good discount).
SUMMARY
The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is a solid, reliable business tool that fits well in the Private Investigation Business. The camera is a good, quality camera that can be used in the field, which is particularly good when you need to get that quick shot that you may not be prepared for. The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is a Work Horse, that is perfect for the business professional. There is not much that you can't do with this phone. This phone is a Private Investigator's dream come true!
