I'm not going to be the first to say it, but Samsung may not have the best build quality, but i'm a airplane mechanic, and i have a note 3 and it really doesn't matter it lives inside of a otter-box defender and i've dropped it off a wing of a plane and it was fine. and goes for touch-wiz some like it or hate it. Just root the phone and put your favorite ROM on the device. i just cant stand apple products i had a iPhone 4 when it came out for probably 2 weeks and couldn't stand it and went to windows phone 7 a bigger mistake and android is my personal favorite.
