Yes, and no. Although it has large and high-res screen, it cannot break the boundary of playing Android compatible videos like MP4/H.264 only. Don't worry, you've come to the right place.

Since Galaxy Note 3 does not support an external Blu-ray or DVD drive, besides, most commercial Blu-ray/DVDs are encrypted by film studio which makes it much more difficult to play Blu-ray/DVD on Galaxy Note 3 everywhere.

To play Blu-ray & DVD movies and SD/HD Videos(HD MKV, AVI, Tivo, VOB, MPG, WMV, FLV, F4V, MTS, M2TS, etc.) on your new Samsung Galaxy Note 3 phone, you need to prepare a high-end HD video/movie conversion software, such as Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate.

About Samsung Galaxy Note 3

The Note 3 sports a 5.7-inch, full high-definition screen, a slight boost from the Note 2's 5.5-inch display. But despite the bigger screen, the Note 3 is thinner and lighter, measuring 8.3mm and weighing just 168g.

The screen is as bright, colourful, and responsive as we've come to expect. You can do everything with your fingertip, as on most tablets, but the S Pen stylus gives you even finer control.

Under that slablike screen is a beefy 2.3GHz processor with a whopping 3GB of RAM. All that power harnessed to a giant screen could empty the tank with alarming alacrity, but a 3,200mAh battery is there to ensure there's plenty of grunt left when you need it. And the Note has plenty of speed, too: it has 4G LTE for connecting to the Internet at high speeds, with support for the fastest category 4 4G.

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 supported video format:
Codec: MPEG4, H.263, H.264, VC-1, DivX, WMV7, WMV8, WMV9, VP8
Format: 3GP(MP4), WMV(ASF), AVI, FLV, MKV, WebM

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 supported audio format:
Codec: MP3, OGG, WMA, AAC, ACC+, eAAC+, AMR(NB,WB), MIDI, WAV, AC-3, Flac
