    Can samsung galaxy note 3 be charged wirelessly?
    trinidad
    about 2 years ago
    Introducing the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Wireless Charging Cover. Now you can charge your Galaxy Note 3 phone without the need to plug in. Once the charging cover is installed, simply place your device directly onto the Samsung Wireless Charging Pad (sold separately) and your phone begins to charge.

    Is the Note 3 good?
    katherina
    over 1 year ago
    Verdict. Put simply, the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is the best phablet in the world right now. Its glorious 5.7in screen pumps out crisp detail and punchy colours while still remaining pretty portable, at least compared to the gargantuan 6.4in Sony Xperia Z Ultra.

    How long does Note 3 battery last?
    robyn

    Luckily, the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 differs. Its gigantic juicer scored a respectful 6 hours and 8 minutes of battery life. This is the exact time you can expect your Note 3 to last if you use it non-stop, without putting it down.

    Samsung has just launched the dual-SIM version of the Galaxy Note 3 phablet. Most of the recent Galaxies received a dual-SIM treatment shortly after release and the Galaxy Note 3 is no exception.

    russ
    about 2 years ago
    It's certified to IP67, meaning it can be submerged in water and is impervious to dust. Like other water resistant phones, though, it does this using a rubber-sealed flap that covers the microUSB port, which is a little fiddly

    Talking of 6 – 7-year-old phones, Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is one beast of a phone. Launched in 2013, this phone has a massive 5.7-inch 1080p display. It was rare for phones launched in 2013 to have 3GB RAM but this phone had it paired with a 1.9GHz octa-core processor.

    How can I restart my Note 3 without power button?
    moshe
    over 1 year ago
    Plug the Phone into an electric or USB charger So, by plugging in your phone through a charger (electric or USB) your phone's battery will slowly get charged and in a few minutes the phone would wake up from the sleep state and will thus restart.

There was a lot of buzz leading up to the Galaxy Note 3 launch. The device is the third in Samsung's portfolio of Note-branded smartphones, and it packs the most powerful hardware of any of Samsung's current smartphones. That said, it also has a massive display that can be cumbersome to hold with a single hand, though its software features promise to make the experience worth it. We've...
