Any chance of it coming in white? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I don't know about you all but I'd love a really white (ie no black screen with a white backplate) n5. So far the leaks make the phone look really ugly and cheap. I know we buy the nexus for its guts and software... Not its looks but it may look so bad in pictures because of the matte soft touch black paint. If you examine the pictures closer it has a very clean design.
To get to the point, this phone would look really elegant I think in white. Not since my original g1 have I had an all white phone, AMD certainly not a white nexus. I know beggars can't be choosers, but if Google ever wanted the nexus line to be a commercial success instead of just a Dev line for their new software, options like this would be awesome.
Given that zero of these leaks have revealed anything other than a black phone, I'm SOL.

Well white would be nice however all the leaks show a matte back and we all know matte white doesn't work(HTC One X)

Not that this means anything, but some of the case makers have renders of it in white. Regardless, i think google likes the oreo look of "white" devices, so i dont think they'll make a white bezeled phone anytime soon.

may be released with white as well...

Here's my quick (And bad) photoshop of how the Nexus 5 should really look like in white based on the leaked box's images.

I think this is fake
Even i photoshopped the nexus 5 black picture and got something similar to this.
This is just an inverted pic of original nexus 5 pic and it took less than a minute to do it..

Oh yah lol good eye the white nexus on the box has a black camera lens too.

Yeah the image looks legit as it follows other nexus packaging and the N5 displayed on it as a black front face just like the white version of the N4

Black clipping/black crush on the Note means you can see blotches of black all across the screen when you have black on the screen. So in some videos with dark backgrounds you'll see these clusters of black pixels/whatever all over.
The severity of the problem ranges and I found it bearable sometimes.
Hmmm...is it every note or just some defected ones?

HTC one X gets my vote. Have had a good play with this over the last few days and my favourite HTC phone yet.
Well the first htc I've had was the erid and loved it. I tried newer htcs since and didn't like the raised screen and from what I was told the x has a raised screen

Hey All.
I have a vinyl cutter and have made some protection pieces to go over the rear casing of my own Xoom. I used clear vinyl for the bottom section and a matt black to go around the top matt black band around the camera and button etc.
There is nothing to stop me cutting these pieces in coloured vinyl film or the 3D carbon fibre look film.
If there is any interest, as I can make and sell these, I will cut some in a coloured vinyl and post some pictures.

I only say this cuz there doesn't seem to be black GS3's FOR VERIZON anywhere. Like they're non-existant right now. Just a myth as far as I'm concerned. That's why I'm curious to see it. I really really want a black one but can't find it anywhere.

No. Because I highly prefer the front of a phone to be black or at least dark coloured, having all the focus on the screen.
I ordered the White and Lime Shell though.

I wouldn't but my wife would. She only wants white phones even the front bezel.
It makes the screen looks smaller

Exactly this for my reasoning as well. For myself, a white phone would be like having a white TV. Distracting from the focus.

Personally, no. It'll get dirty easily. Soon enough, your white Moto G will be yellow. My white Sixaxis is like that, even if I cleaned it regularly.
personally i wouldn't but it does look good and think it would sell.
Ditto. It looks just as handsome in white.

I've never been one to have a vibrant colored phone either. I normally always go with the gray/silver look. That's also why I went with the 5S instead of the 5C at my last upgrade. Looks pretty, though, if you're into it.

Doesn't interest me much. I like neutral color phones. They work best with cases and the new color scheme of android IMO. I do at times wish I picked the gold model, it looks excellent in an all black case like mine. But hey, silver works fine and looks good

This would go great with my ice blue Game Boy Pocket from many years ago.
But I too prefer neutral colors on my phones.
Edit: on second thought, the new M8 looks a bit more Aqua than blue. Not sure about that song and dance.

Looks a little bright, the blue M7 that was a Best Buy exclusive was the perfect shade of blue. It kinda looks like the glow in the dark slickwrap.

Looks nice. But I think, I will not let myself use a phone with that color for a long time. Am very much satisfied with my Gunmetal Gray color.
Wish mine was that color as I really liked my m7 that color. Maybe I can give my wife this one when the blue ones out(if I can s-off or course) nice find
