Note 3 users, do you have a tablet too?

hipporun · Jan 3, 2014

I have a note 3 which is considered "the tablet phone", but to me it feels like a phone. I would love a tablet but don't know if it's worth the money since I already have a large phone.

Yep, a Note 2014. I use it at home and the phone on the road.

I had a 7" Acer Iconia tablet and Nokia Lumia 920. I got tired of carrying the tablet everywhere I thought I might need a tablet when the phone would not do. Lack of Android on phone of course. So I decided to get the Note 3 to replace both. Now I am happy and only have one daily carry item.. Not to mention the Note is only 1.3 inches smaller than my tablet and that I can live with. Still a huge screen compared to most phones and one of the highest resolutions out there for it's size.

I have a Nexus 10. I use it to watch videos while I'm in bed.

Ok, from someone who has a nexus 10. Do you think I should get nexus 1O or wait a few weeks to see the nexus 1O 2? Is the nexus 1O still "up to par" spec and software wise compared to current tablets on the market now

Just not sure If the 10 2 is going to be worth the extra money

It isn't certain that there will be a new 10" Nexus device in the near future. I use my Nexus 10 for video due to the size of the screen and front facing stereo speakers. Still, my Note 3 feels much snappier. So far as advice is concerned, I would hold out until we see what is released in the next few months.

Keep in mind the Nexus products DO NOT have SD card slots. So whatever internal memory they have, is all you get..

This has been a problem for me, I cannot keep more than a few HD films on my Nexus 10 before I must delete one to make space for another.

I believe this is a move, on Google's part, to force one to rely on the Play Store for a great deal of media content.

Edit: I have the 32gb Nexus 10.

I have an iPad and a Dell Venue 8 Pro. Best of all worlds.

I have an iPad air and my note 3. Really like iPad better than android tablets, just a personal preference for me.

Microsoft Surface Pro 2. Carried an iPad that I never used. Note 3 and Surface Pro seem to be a pretty good combo.

How does the surface work as a laptop? Does it get the job done

No Need!

I was in two minds, buying the Nexus 5 and a tablet or buying the Note 3. I bought the Note 3 and I am not regretting my choice. We you need a tablet just rotate the Note 3 and it's pretty much looks like 7 inch tablet.

miguelmaldonado · Jan 4, 2014

i bought the note 3 so i didn't have the need to buy a tablet, and to me it's perfect, i won't buy any tablet at all!

Avid reader here, I have to have my 7" galaxy tab 2, note 3 can't replace it in my opinion.

I'm currently sporting a Note 3 and an iPad Mini with retina display. Maybe I should've bought the iPad Air instead. I find myself not picking up the mini that much (except for long reads like ebooks).

If I needed something bigger I'd go for my laptop or Smart TV. :good:

Great as a small laptop as long as you get the type cover. I spent about 2 hours typing up reports, and while it is not as nice as a mechanical keyboard, it works quite well. Touch and pen interface is very nice as is battery life. A bit heavy to hold for pure tablet use, but not obscenely so. If you're familiar with Windows 8 you won't have any surprises, if not it's a strange interface to get used to.

There are glitches and weirdness, but overall I find it a very productive tool.

Note 3 users, do you have a tablet too?
