After playing with the Note 3, i well realise that i may have been trapped in a tech bubble of my own making cos i’ve been ignorant to other new phones out there…

I’m so taken by some of the Note 3 features that there was even once i shouted, “WOW THAT’S SO COOL!!!!” in the office and poor SweetEe lamented, “Oh my god… you gave me a shock!”

The Samsung GALAXY Note 3 comes in four colours of Pink, Red, Rose Gold Black and Rose Gold White so you can match your style and personality to it.

I’ve been keen on white lately, and been buying lots of white tops, bottoms and dresses.
I think one can’t have enough white! It’s great to offset all the prints i have in my wardrobe!
So a white phone goes perfect with everything in my wardrobe.
The Note 3 i’m holding is actually Rose Gold White (the edges are a sleek rose gold) which goes with all my rose gold accs anyhoo.

The Note 3 comes with an S Pen which i can use to hover over five S Pen features. Because the phone has advanced handwriting recognition technology, i can choose to use either my finger or pen to write on the phone; whether it’s for messages, planner, alarm or phone functions.

The S Pen is hidden so discreetly in the bottom corner that someone had to show me where it was cos i thought i lost it in the box *duh*boxes self* There is also a button ON the S Pen itself that is lagi discreet… that i only found it after reading the manual (which i stupidly refused to do earlier).

One of the most useful features i find are S Notes. As you can see above… i consider myself pretty old school and still like jotting down things in my moleskine notebook. But playing around with the S Notes made me realise WHY some people write down EVERYTHING in their phones!

S Notes has all these different templates i can use like Schedule, Picture Diary, Recipe, Travel Note, Check List, and even obscure lists like Baby Diary, Movie Review, and Wine Review. I can then browse through them easily, and sync it with my Evernote, tablet and PC. There’s even an Easy Chart function that converts my scribbled charts into professional graphs 0_o

There’s a really cool Scrapbook feature which i can use to organise ALL the pictures and info i collect on a daily basis for inspiration on travel, movies, food, contacts, party stuff, fashion, everything! Kinda like Pinterest built into your phone.

Action Memo is pretty awesome too! It lets me turn my handwritten memos into actionable To-Dos, emails, calls, new contacts, web or location searches, and tasks.

I like the SketchBook for Galaxy too, there are so many variations of brushes, colours and tones that it’s remarkably easy to use. A great replacement if i have a sudden urge to draw something in the city and didn’t have my actual sketchbook with me!

Ahhh i love how Walking Mate comes automatically in the phone! I really appreciate this!
I’m halfway through the book “Eat Move Sleep” and there’s a chapter on how imperative it is that we walk 10,000 steps a day for optimum health. Even if we eat healthy and exercise three times a week, it’s not enough.

Lots of people like Samsung cos of their cameras, and there are all the necessary options for getting a good picture.

I can adjust ISO (up to 800), metering (centre-weighted, matrix, spot), exposure, white balance, timer, location tag, and video-capturing options.

There’s even a Voice Control option if i wanna take pictures via voice commands like “Capture” “Shoot” “Smile” and “Cheese”!

Speaking of Voice Control, i can use it for stopping and snoozing the alarm clock, adjusting my music player (“Next”, “Previous”, “Play” and “Pause”), and answering or rejecting phone calls. Almost like a butler in my phone. Except it can’t take my calls for me XD

I had so much fun playing with Google maps for NO REASON. Just to explore what islands there are i had no clue about, and possible places to travel next! I got easily enamoured by how quickly it zooms in and out showing me THE WORLD. The world in the palm of my hand…

Ok snapping out of it.

On the right above, is how i can search in Maps by typing name of restaurant instead of address. Besides searching faster, i can find new restaurants i have no idea about since it’s searching nearby options for me, save my favourite places for easier future access, and share locations i love. By syncing it with my Google contacts, i can easily pick friends up on the way if need be too.

There are so many other things you can do with the Note 3, like Screen Write (above), Multi Window (to multitask effortlessly), surf Flipboard, edit handwritten notes, cut out pictures you surf to throw into the Scrapbook… it’s like having a touch-screen PC that makes calls and obeys your voice commands!

Another reason to love the Note 3 is that Samsung is having a promo: Every purchased Pink GALAXY Note 3 will come with a Sereni & Shentel RM100 voucher while stocks last. More details *here*
