Hey guys, I intend on getting a note soon and my question is, which color should I get? Obviously preference is the answer here but I'm a bit afraid if I get the white one it would inevitably get some markings soon and look disgusting. With that said I do own a white sgs2 which is flawless after owning for many months. But that is because it's under constant protection from a case and screen protector. Can't say I'd do the same to the note. Also the grey looks a bit tacky as opposed to if they had gone with black like the tab (speaking in terms of the bezel only). So any insight on this from owners of both colors? Thanks.
I think its your personal preference I chose grey ( i still do not know why it is called that as the back is bluish as S3) over white because its back has that metallic look which I like but anyways it always going to be in a cover so it wont make much of a difference. But like I said its what you see and like
Yeah, definately personal preference.... I also have grey and it looks good...
If the white case is like the S2 then it will get stained but I have no trouble with marks on my white S3... Still white and looking good....
Personally I prefer the blue s3so I got one of those too but it seems samsung changed the plastics used on the s2 and s3 as the s3 really doesn't seem to stain....
Not sure about the note 10.1 but as it came out after the s3 you'd assume that the materials would be the same as the s3....
I wanted white first, because grey didn't looks good on pictures, but reality in grey is much more better. I have grey one with original grey bookcase and it looks much more vauleable.
Go for grey!
I got a brand new white on eBay for $450. It'll match my phone now I guess. Just need to find a case now.

grey for me
Grey looks fine less contrast with the screen.
I do like white i own a galaxy note 2 which looks very nice in white same thing for s3 and s2 which i still own.
For the tablet my advice buy grey. It won't get dirty but like I said before the contrast white to black screen makes grey the best choice.
Good luck
deep grey

I have a grey and my son has a grey. I got the grey because I didn't want anyone asking me how I liked my Ipad. But we both keep them in a case so you really cant see the color. I'm sure I would have been put on the Apple lawsuit if I had gotten a white one. You know Apple invented the color white.
i have white and its very good and untill now i dont have case but i clean my tablet everyday untill my case arrive from china
The white stands out so much. It's beautiful

Quick information. I've stucked this thread and now it should be considered as an official place to discuss color. Other threads will be closed. Thanks for understanding
I just got mine yesterday (thank you slickdeals!!). I went for the white one because it looks prettier to me, but the gray actually doesn't look bad in person. In the pictures I saw, gray looked waaaay ugly, but when you hold it in your hand and play with it, it really is kind of a good looking color. Unfortunately, light gray + dark gray is still not as pretty as light gray + white.. so.. there you have it.
I personally like the metallic finish the grey has been given though I like white as well but considering the conditions in India where even Taj Mahal has lost its white color I do not think white of note will last it full distance
Grey so I don't have to deal with white turning yellow.
Most ppl in this thread suggesting grey colour but in the other thread in general section, if im not mistaken, has been discussing about the built quality between the two colours, and most user report that white unit has significant better built quality over the grey unit.
I have the grey and love it. I was torn between white and grey but when i caved in and actually went to buy it they only had grey so i went with that. I own a GS3 in the blue and they actually match surprisingly well. i often use them side by side and people always comment on how nice they look together.
Not sure about the inherent quality differences of "white" and "gray" but since both of them are the same price, I considered them having the same in usefulness and performance...
Anyway, I got gray... and when you put it in protective case, color seems no longer a prominent feature...

Seconded, gray is better for video reasons too imo, since you wont be distracted by the boundary color
Gray because appel is white.
I like my gray very much.
I order mine on Tuesday, and it going to be delivered today, I always like the red color of the galaxy of the s3 and now the s4, I was just curious how many ordered the red one
I always get black phones. Seems to me I can resell black phones easiest from my experience.

Same. My wife had a baby pink RAZR that she couldn't get rid of
Red here, went in for a black but they were out so at the time I was bummed but its really grown on me.
The red will have the lowest re-sale value. Many red S3 owners couldn't get a lot for their devices when they tried to sell them.
I would like to know if AT&T will be getting the S4 in Arctic blue?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2324587
coming from a red international S3, I opted for black s4, since my wife got the white s4. Plus the only model of s4 with 32gb internal memory was black
I opted for the Red one myself. I actually really like it -- prefer to be a little different
I had 2 red's but am returning them for the Active. The red is a very nice professional looking color. But I always put cases on my phone anyway. I had a black Ballistic HC case with a Sith wallpaper...it looks awesome.
GF went from white to red; everything she owns is red, everything i own is white.

I assume your girl is white? just messing with you
I kept going back and forth on white or red and ended up with the red. Really like it, I think the bezel and front will contrast nicely with my cases. And the red touch button light is pretty nifty too :laugh:

U red forman?
How long do you think it will be till other stores like Amazon sell the red. Black is nice but I want the red
i actually got the red as well i love everything about it!!!!!!
I bought my red S4 at Walmart last week it's pretty cool looking
"Zed? Zed's dead baby; Zed's dead"
Red here .. originally got the black one, was keeping my fingers crossed that the red one would be released before my 14 days .. thankfully it was.
I had the Red SGS III (wife now has) .. so I just wanted to keep to the scheme.
Anybody have any cool redish themed wallpapers?
Attached are two I'm using, but could certainly use some more.

Was going to pre order the S6 in black but after seeing them in person at Best Buy that White Pearl looks mighty nice.
Which color looks the best you and which color are you getting?
White wouldn't have been horrific if it wasn't for the white lenses on the camera at the back. With it, it looks absolutely terrifying.
I would personally go for either black or blue, but first I have to see the latter one in person, because it is too bright of a color and it might not look as good in person as it does on pictures.
Pre ordered the white edge from verizon from Best Buy. The darker colors look to be fingerprint magnets.
I usually prefer white phones, but the Nexus 5 got me used to having a black face. I think I might explore replacing the black glass back with a white one somewhere down the line for a similar Stormtrooper aesthetic.

Black all the way! I have only had one phone in white, that was an iPhone 4S, it was good looking for the first few months and after that I got sick of having a big black rectangle on a white body. When I switched to my Galaxy S4 I went black (not really black at all) and it was a lot better to my eyes.
In the end, its personal preferences.
If I was stuck with those two colors I'd definitely pick black.

What color S8/S8+ would you buy?
- Maple Gold
- Coral Blue
- Arctic Silver
- Orchid Grey
- Midnight Black
- Undecided
I think I will pick Black
orchid grey. unique and beautiful color on a phone
Coral Blue was my favourite but I got Orchid Gray cause blue wasn't available
I like all the colors but i chose black just because it seems to best blend the screen into the edges making it really appear invisible.
Midnight Black
Coral Blue as it's a unique as well nice colour for the infinity display which complements each other.
I just picked up the black one yesterday. I like that it's not very intrusive and matches just about everything. It's a rather neutral color. I would suggest you pick whatever matches your purse!
It really doesn't matter. You're covering up the back with a case anyways.

Order of preference:
1. Coral Blue
2. Midnight Black
3. Orchid Grey
4. Artic Silver
5. Maple Gold
I wanted the US Unlocked version, so I was limited to black. But honestly the black is gorgeous. It's a deep wet black and when the screen is off, it all blends together and just has a really clean look.
Now, if it had been available at the time, I probably would've got Coral Blue (and am tempted once Best Buy gets it), just because I'm a little tired of black, white, grey phones.
My other choice would've been Orchid Grey. But one, it was not available in unlocked version, and two my wife chose that color and I don't want us to have identical phones. With the very slight purple tint it seemed a little more feminine, but not enough so that I would be opposed to owning one. I liked the uniqueness of it.
I dislike gold phones, and the silver, while nice and clean, just seems bland somehow.
Ultimately, I'm happy with black. My ONLY issue with it so far is how much it shows fingerprints and smudges. Plus I put a full body clear skin on both our phones from Best Skins Ever. My wife's orchid grey turned out perfect and you can't see the skin at all. Mine however, the edges really show, and any little imperfections shows against the black.
We both also run cases and screen protectors on our phones, but the cases are clear so the color matters. Plus at home I take my case off just to see the beauty of this phone. I put skins on under the cases, because I have seen dust get between cases and the phone surfaces and etch scratches into them in the past. So just being over protective I guess. I'd love to just run it naked, but I'm too OCD and want my phone to look mint when I resell it later.
Once you go black, you never go back...lol
No but seriously the black is just gorgeous. I wanted the S7E in black but only had the silver at the time i purchased. It was nice but sort of hated it. Even the S5 didn't have a dark black finish, it was more so dark blue. My last black phone prior to this one was the HTC Evo and before that the palm pre. So i had to have the black this time around and love it. My wife got the orchid and wasn't to fond of it at first but now she does...or so she says. compared it to the S3 i have at home since its blue.
I also like the Black! But if I want different colors later then I'll do it via cases...
I had a black one and it looked really nice and sleek but was kinda boring too.
I Got a gold one which is nice and its a different gold than the note 7 i had (not as flashy) but I reallllllly wanted silver. Just didnt feel like waiting any longer to get one lol.
The orchid gray one ( which is more purple or mauve) actually looks nice also but its a bit too girly for a man to have in my opinion lol.
The blue is really sexy to see it in person but seems to as hard to get as silver. I would have been okay with a blue one too.

Anyone else notice that cases take the paint off the corners? I have 2 wear marks on mine already. Had it a month.
I got the maple gold and it looks really good, I prefer it over the orchid grey and the dull black color. I wanted Corel blue but it wasn't in stock, so went with this and no regret.

The color does not matter - as long as it is black ?
Whatever flies for you, mine are black. Always.
I went for orchid grey, had black phones since the s4 and liked the grey so thought the change will be nice. No regrets yet

Dang, that was my main concern with the black. The silver frame around the silver and orchid grey seem more durable and hide more wear. Black is beautiful but shows everything.
If I ever have to choose, I will always go for Orchid Grey. It is classy, unique and sophisticated color. Good part is front is black for all colors so making choice is quite easy and will mostly depend on person taste rather then force decision like with LG G6.

The Galaxy Z Flip 4 is available in four colors
&
Bespoke Edition colors
I let the associate at the t-mobile store pick for me, she went with pink. I think it'll look cool
I have the blue
I aint had nothing but black since I rocked the original Razor V3 flip phone back in 2004, and like they say, "once you go black you can't ever go back!"!! I do remember have one old Samsung phone that was some sort of black camo though, I dunno what that counts as but it sure aint white!!! Ha! Ha! Damn I'm killing it tonight!! LOL!!
But seriously speaking of the Motorola Razr check this out..........
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 vs. Motorola Razr 2022: Which foldable phone could win?
Here's how the two newest foldable flip phones compare

I got Blue but was very tempted for the Pink. Graphite is so generic I try to switch it up.
I got the blue, love this colour.
That is a weird shade of purple but it suits the phone aesthetic. I went for the Pink Gold and I can't wait for it to arrive. i have the galaxy watch5 coming as well for free as part of the deal
I got the blue, which is a very light blue. Almost seems white in some light.
If I had to reorder the phone I'd get the bespoke edition, with a dark frame and the blue panels. The blue metal frame has slits which are more noticeable than I expected. It's a fine looking phone in any combo.

Yes those bespoke combos are nice, I had a time deciding but I can get cases to change the look up if I need so went neutral (sort of)
I had a Z Flip3 5G in the dark green, which I really liked. The only possible choice for the Flip4, though, was Graphite - the other colors were just too feminine for my tastes. But then I'm old...
I ordered the Bora Purple and it'll be delivered by tomorrow! I'm coming from OnePlus 10 Pro and fed up with the brand and returning to Samsung which I was using before...
Well I thought I ordered black (or graphite actually) and they sent me a pink gold, but I put my old black case from my flip 3 on it so you can't tell anyway! lol! I am kind of digging the gold trim though and my old case had a gold/copperish ring on it and some gold looking rivets so I must say it does look kind of snazzy even though it is pink underneath!! I think I need to slap a little more gold looking ring on that case though to get that gold flow going a little better! Actually the pink is so light it looks more like off white cream color to me (except in a dimly lit room maybe) and after going to the website and looking at the colors available if anything the purple looks more like a pink to me!!! LOL!!

It really makes no difference to me as I always fit a case to my phones. Ended up with graphite as that's what they had in stock.
Bora Purple and team it up with Watch 4 classic and bora purple buds 2 pro!
Bespoke red + black frame. The red is... reddish, or bright red in the direction of orange/salmon. Came with the transparent Samsung case. I'd rather have some crimson, but I'm fine with this color too. The case is not as grippy and I'd prefer more sticky texture, but fine for the time being
I choose Bora Purple as I think that's the hero color here in my country
