The Note Air is heavier thanks to that glass screen and ally back.. more likely to crack and self destruct if you drop it. But what's really bad is the tiny battery. In normal usage you'll have to charge it more often, so that means it will wear out and lose capacity much sooner than a normal Note. Shame as the design is quite pretty, but I don't think that the type of people that spend $500 on eInk want something that looks nice but is functionally flawed and designed to be landfill in a year.
No wonder I've spotted a seller on FleaBay UK selling his Note Air as a Note 3... expect the Note Air to drop in price a bit, then people to start selling battery replacement packs for it.
