Since the beginning of the note series from Samsung, I'm a big fan. Because arts-rich hobbies I then decided to buy the first grade mobile phones and have changed after release directly to the note 3. The pen offers numerous practical functions just for the student life, the device can act as a notebook. I had at the beginning really doubt whether I really need this note functions, but I realize how rarely I even now to grab a pen and paper. Buying incentives to small invoices or drawings, the note is my daily companion. I own the note 3 for a year now and the performance does not decrease. Am very satisfied and recommend it to anyone. The note series just has something that most smartphones have not and that makes it a bit more unique and extremely practical in everyday life. Soon I want to procure me a note 12.2 per tablet to. That is then probably make the laptop completely superfluous) Shirin F.
