To offer an anecdote from another point of view I&#x27;m quite pleased with my Note 3 but all I do on my phone is browse with Chrome, read email, draw occasionally (thus the Note), take some video, watch netflix and some sms and actual phone calls.<p>I&#x27;ve disabled the fancy stuff like multi display, though.<p>My baseline expectations for samsung software are quite low so it might just be that I&#x27;m happy this phone works at all - but I can&#x27;t recall the last time any software issues actually impacted me in a negative way. I don&#x27;t have any carrier stuff on the phone, maybe that&#x27;s a factor.
