You can launch Calculator, Clock, YouTube, Phone, Contacts, Hangouts or Internet in a Pen Window, and open all of these on your screen at once. Our favorite of the Air Command apps is Pen Window, which launches a floating window of any size you draw. We did a search for "images" and selected Yesterday, and the Note 3 immediately returned 40 pictures we took yesterday. You can use filters such as Yesterday or Past 7 Days to pull up all content associated with that time. S Finder lets you search items within the Note 3 - including text messages, phone logs, emails and handwritten notes - and even connects to apps you have on the phone, such as IMDb and Yelp. We circled an ad for the Nexus 7, and Scrapbooker captured an image of the search results, along with a transcription of the accompanying text, the title of the page we snapped and a direct URL. The snippet gets stored to your Note 3 along with metadata, such as a link to the page (if your memo was from a website) or video (from YouTube app). Scrapbooker lets you capture whatever is on your phone's screen by circling it. We added "Buy Shampoo" to our calendar easily enough, but it wasn't significantly faster than adding it to the calendar without Action Memo. Samsung recommends that you write in a straight line so the phone can better recognize your instructions. Triggered when you pull out the stylus or click the pen button while hovering over the screen, the Air Command menu fans out to show five utilities: Action Memo, Scrapbooker, Screen Write, S Finder and Pen Window.Īction Memo lets you write down tasks and perform them, such as writing down a phone number and adding it to your contacts. It's also softer than the Mega and the One Max, which both hit 83 dB.Ĭlick to EnlargeOf all the software that Samsung packed into the Note 3, we especially like the Air Command feature, which makes it easy to access pen-enabled features. On the LAPTOP Audio Test (measuring volume from 13 inches), the Note 3 registered 78 dB, which is just shy of the smartphone category average (80 dB) and the Verizon G2 (79 dB). We could easily distinguish between Perry's roaring voice and the drums and synths in the background. In contrast, "Roar" sounded whole and distinct on the One Max, which features front-facing BoomSound speakers. Likewise, the instrument-heavy "I Follow Rivers" by Lykke Li sounded particularly industrial, thanks to the harsh echoes from the Note 3. We listened to "Roar" by Katy Perry, and her voice sounded canned. The modest speaker on the Note 3's bottom edge offered tinny but booming sound at max volume. At 550 lux on our light meter, the Note 3 was significantly brighter than the smartphone category average (405 lux), the Mega (398 lux), the Verizon G2 (351 lux) and the One Max (441 lux). With its bright screen, the Note 3 is not only good for outdoor viewing, but also for lighting up an entire campsite. The Note 3 delivered slightly more saturated images and deeper blacks than the One Max, but the display quality wasn't as sharp. At all viewing angles, the Note 3 clearly had the boldest display. We watched the same trailer on the One Max (1920 x 1080p) and the Galaxy Mega (1280 x 720p). Viewing angles were generous, and colors remained true, even when we tilted the phone to extreme angles. ![]() ![]() Details were so clear that we could see individual lines on Leonardo DiCaprio's blue pinstriped suit. A 1080p trailer for "The Wolf of Wall Street" was a delight to watch, as the bright-yellow title cards and Jonah Hill's colorful, patchwork shirt really popped.
