from $700

📖 Overview

The 2013 Galaxy Note 3 paired a 13MP f/2.2 rear camera (1/3.1" sensor, no OIS) with a 2MP front shooter, and was notable for being among the first smartphones to record 4K (2160p) video, alongside 1080p capture. Imaging was strictly JPEG-oriented at launch with no stock RAW or log video support, and the large 5.7" 1080p Super AMOLED display made it a capable on-device review screen for its era.
