we may have already reviewed Samsung's latest smartphone but now it's headed to the US I'm Taylor Martin this is PocketNow and this is our unboxing of the AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 3 so this is the device we all have been waiting for it is a follow up to the original Galaxy Note and of course the Galaxy Note 2 both of which were surprisingly very very popular phones but without too much delay let's get into this box and see what it's about because the box itself obviously is very very boring not a lot going on out here so let's open this up of course on top we've got our Quick Start Guide which is great cuz there's a lot to know about this phone there's so many features so that's good we probably don't care about that we'll set the phone to the side for a very short moment while we look underneath in here we've got a health and safety warranty guide of course something else we really don't care that much about this is not your standard micro USB but USB 3.0 so you've got an additional port there if we can get a little focus on it really quickly so it's big ugly some people say it's not necessary like our own Joe Levi will see in the future it might be very very useful later on not so much right now and because most of our computers don't even have USB 3.0 so your wall adapter and this which I imagine these are spare tips for your s-pen so that's all there is in the box no headphones nothing too fancy let's move this to the side and take a look at the phone because that's what we really care about right it can wait texting and driving yes it can if you have to go to New York and do one of those little pull off things that they're gonna build that nobody's ever going to use so here is the device it's definitely a major upgrade at least in design and hardware from the Galaxy Note 2 they've traded the hyper glaze finish back with a faux leather and it's still plastic there's no doubt about that still the same flimsy plastic as before but it definitely feels nicer and that's really what we were complaining about before the slick hyper glaze finish made it feel very cheap yes so 3200 milliamp hour battery inside here you've got your micro SIM with your micro SD card slot atop that so it's one of those designs where the SD card sits right above your SIM get this pop back on and of course this is a 13 megapixel camera around back your s pin has been changed its now square and it can go in either way there is no problem with that it goes in either way which is awesome definitely an awesome upgrade your USB 3.0 slot so yes it's big and we don't know exactly what we're gonna use it for yet your loudspeaker is also on the bottom edge power button on the right edge volume rocker on the left so same thing works either way 3.5 millimeter headphone jack and an IR blaster up top and of course the most important thing your 5.7 inch 1080p Super AMOLED display Michael said it was gorgeous I take his word for it and I can't wait to see it myself in person because this is the first time I've touched the no three inside we have a snapdragon 800 and you might be asking why are we reviewing this again and that's because this is the US model Michael reviewed the international model would be octa inside we had the Snapdragon 800 model 418 T so it's got the Snapdragon 800 this one I imagine has 16 gigabytes and it has three gigabytes of RAM so we're definitely looking forward to seeing how this thing does not sure if we're gonna pay much attention to benchmarks but other than that we look forward to seeing how this phone stacks up is it better is it the same as the International model and is it better than the competition so stay tuned to PocketNow for more on this phone some comparisons and the full review for the AT&T US model so stay tuned for that and we will see you very soon you
