Samsung Galaxy Note 3 offers plenty of fun to go with business features

    Fun features in the Galaxy Note 3 Gallery

    I have a few more days to make a final decision on the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 I purchased at T-Mobile and with the fantastic HTC One in hand it is not easy to decide if the Note 3 stays or not. I recently found a few fun things on the Note 3 that swing the pendulum back toward keeping the device.

    Video Highlights is a unique feature I thoroughly enjoy on the HTC One. Family and friends enjoy when I share moments and events using these videos with background music. On the HTC One they are created automatically and with the Sense 5.5 update, found in the HTC One Max , you get even more control over them.

    No other smartphone I have found has this capability, however I have seen others that let you create a movie using many steps and limited features. Samsung enhances the included Gallery application with the ability to create a video clip. You simply select up to 15 images from your gallery and then the Note 3 composes the video with no theme. You can then choose from six default themes that add transitions and music to the video.

    I like three out of the six included themes, but would like to see Samsung add more themes and the ability to add your own music to the clip. I won't complain too much as I am just glad to see someone besides HTC adding this cool functionality.

    In the rest of this image gallery, I show a few more Gallery utilities and other fun utilities included on the Note 3. I also showed a few of these functions and the six themes in the video embedded above.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is an excellent device for the business person, but Samsung also added many fun features. One function compares well with the HTC One Video Highlights.
