S Finder expands the Note 3's reliance on good handwriting recognition by making it possible for you to search through the content of written notes, not merely their titles - my time with the Note 3 showed these features working with good accuracy, which is testament to Samsung's growing competence on the software front. Alternatively, any legible address you put down can be discovered in Google Maps, again without having to copy and paste anything or leave the note. For example, if you jot down someone's phone number, you'll be able to call it directly from the note. Samsung wants to kill the onscreen keyboard and the S Pen is its weapon of choiceĪction Memos turn your handwritten scribbles into actionable items. From the Air Command launcher, you can access all the central S Pen features - dubbed Action Memos, Pen Window, S Finder, and Scrapbook. The latter method is thoroughly unintuitive, but once you get over the initial awkwardness and figure it out, it works pretty well. This menu pops up any time you extract the S Pen from its silo, and can also be brought up by hovering the stylus above the display and clicking its built-in button. The big novelty on the software front is called Air Command. Those incremental upgrades all point to a better device, but only marginally so - Samsung's hopes for attracting new buyers to its Note platform rest on a suite of new stylus-friendly software features and a physical redesign aimed at making the Note 3 look that extra bit more glamorous.
The Galaxy Note 3 sticks close to the winning formula: it enlarges the Super AMOLED display of the Note II to 5.7 inches, adds a bombastic 3GB of RAM and a 2.3GHz quad-core processor, raises the camera resolution to 13 megapixels, and simultaneously trims the fat so it can be a millimeter thinner at 8.3mm and a shade lighter at 168g.
Samsung's made an annual tradition of introducing a new Galaxy Note at Berlin's IFA trade show and this year's no different.
