Which Color did you Order :) - Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion

I ordered Midnight Black from T-mobile last night. What color did you order?

Orchid Grey S8 via TMo on Twitter this morning.

Midnight Black...

the black is the best, but it catches finger prints like hell....don't know yet...i have to see them in real life to choose

Midnight Black, not that I'll get to see it much when in a case. My last 3 phones have been Gold and I'm so fed up with it. It'll make a nice change.

I chose black but was tempted by the grey. I just didn't like how it looked purple from some angles.

Midnight black

I went with black on Sprint. I wanted the coral blue but they only have black,grey and silver(I think it was) available. It will be covered with a Batman case anyway so I guess the color isn't really an issue.

I wanted Coral Blue, so I didn't order anything. First I want to see the other colors in person, if it's anything like the Note 7 the pictures will not do the colors justice.

That's very true. I almost immediately had buyer's remorse when I saw the blue in person... BUT with that said I always fall back to wishing I had black.

Went with black, it was a pita to find cases that matched my s7 titanium.

I don't use cases and my hands get sweaty in the summer so I didn't want black. Silver looks kinda plain. So I get Grey.

I went with black, I wanted the silver but I didn't like how the front bezels were black and not silver all around.

You won't see the coral blue anyway because if you know what is good for you, you will use a case and you won't see anything but black color. Lame.

Well there are such a thing as clear cases. But me, I never use case and I've never broken a phone either. Some of us just aren't that clumsy (or like me-super clumsy but somehow manage to always save the phone from damage).

I went with black but I'll end up throwing it in a case or rocking a dbrand skin

I get why the front of all colors is black - to hide the gazillion sensors and make the glass look even more infinite. But that means all but the black phones are two-tone. Purple/Black, Blue/Black, etc. My first Note7 was black and I ordered it because I liked the monochromatic look. My second Note7 was Blue Coral and I missed the black one after a couple of weeks of use. Samsung took care of my remorse by taking my phone away completely. I went with the S8+ in black to again get back to the monochromatic look. The "gotcha" with such a dark color is that the hairline scratches on the glass back accumulated over time will be much more noticeable than with lighter colors.

Captivate yellow tint? Not blue

Has anyone ever experienced a yellow tint on their captivate? I just received my 2nd Captivate from AT&T after doing an exchange. The 2nd one seems to be darker and has an obvious yellow coloring on the screen. It makes it look like a summer 6pm afternoon sunlight casting over the colors.
The first one was more white and bright. I know many people have said they've experienced a blue tint, but has anyone experienced a yellow one? I'm seriously deciding if I should send this one back as well.

I just got a replacement phone from Amazon. It does have a yellowish Tint. I can make it go away by turning off auto brightness.

I think I'm going to contact AT&T and get another replacement. I paid non commitment pricing on this phone and I just don't feel satisfied with the QC. If I were to turn off auto brightness, it only makes it a little better, but compared to my original one, it still has a "dirty yellow" look to it. Plus, turning off auto brightness will make it drain my battery faster, so I find it unfair that I have to do that.
Here are my photos I just snapped right now using the "Screen Test" app.
The screen on the right is my 1st original Captivate
The screen on the left is the 2nd replacement Captivate

I guess my first one (right) is considered to be the ones with "blue" tint, but I actually favor that over the one on the left because it's much brighter. As you can see in the photo, the one on the left actually looks washed out and dull. The color is not as vibrant, and gives a yellow / dirty brown look to it.
I already called for a 3rd captivate to be sent in to me, I hope that one will be much better.
I'm in the same boat as you, mike. I just got my replacement yesterday, and it's more red. My original has the blue tint. I prefer the blue tint as well. I'm going to request another replacement and see how that goes.

Yea, it doesn't look as bright. I'm receiving another replacement in the mail tomorrow, I really hope it'll be brighter.
What are you going to do if your NEXT replacement is red again lol
Haha I'm not sure yet. BTW, is the vibration on your replacement a lot louder than your original? Mine is and it's annoying. That's actually the main reason i am getting another replacement.

Hmm, I havent been able to really notice. I turn off the haptic feedback on my phones, and I've had the ring tone on, so I cant really say on that one

[Q] [ATT] White or Gray

As the title says, which color are you going to get from ATT?
White or gray?
This is the first phone where I thought the White actually looked good, but at the same time I love the gray...

My thoughts exactly- it's white for me (just to try it out)
i got the gray simply because dirt/debris is going to show up easier on the white model. i really wanted the white, it's pretty sexy
I love the back of the gray. I think I might have to just pre order the gray.
I got the white. The way I look at is eventually its going to turn grey lol.

More than likely gray. Seems like everyone and their mother has a white smartphone now, especially the iPhone. UGH
I like the looks of both of them. The only thing that gets me is that the Gray looks just like every other Android phone HTC has put out in the last two years. I want my HOX to stand out.

I have never had an Android HTC phone before so I guess I never thought about it like that.
Great input everyone
I think I might have to get the gray mainly because I think the back is sexy and I don't want to have to worry about a white phone getting super dirty.
I much prefer the grey, but I pre-ordered at RadioShack and the scuttlebutt is that they are only getting white. So, white it is.
I went white because it look good and is different.
All of my phones have been black/gray... so im going to try the white. If i dont like it, I'll probably just switch it out at costco.
Grey for me, white phones are defective lol jk
Also, when an isheep looks at your white HOX and tell you that HTC is copying apple...tell them that the G1 was the first white android phone.

I went white, I think the detail with the rolled glass edges on the screen really pops in the white model.
I went with white because I wanted something different from all the black/grey phones I have had in the past 9 years. It will be nice to have to something different.
I got a grey one and thought it looked a little ordinary. I got a white one to compare them side-by-side. The white one looks bigger because of the color difference between the body and display and it also looked like it way trying too hard to make a statement. When thinking about which I’d be happier with six months from now I kept the grey one. All just personal opinion.
Very east to clean ...

I've had my Rogers unit, white, for about a week now, and all I can say is that whatever they did to the polycarbonate material, it is incredibly easy to clean.

I'll be getting white, past phones I have owned have all been gray/black so trying something different
White for me wanted something different than my prev phones and I think the white just stands out

Anybody notice he spelled grey wrong in the title ? Lol

What colour is your note 4? If it is black then does the other colours feel different to the black. The reason I'm asking is because I heard that the back on the black felt different to the other colours.

this is true
black is the softest and "grippiest" then gold then white... white being the least grip and soft touch feel.
white back with black front and bezel looks cool.. storm trooperish.
i really wish samsung made a blue. blue s5 looks awesome.

Thanks for that, now can anyone tell me why they feel different? I heard it was the same on the Note 3
I gave my black Note 4 a different look, too
It fits perfect, unfortunately doesn't have this rubberized feeling like the original black cover.
Quite ok for 4$...

That's cool. The ad says "Leather" does it feel like leather to you?
How long did it take to receive?
It has a leather texture, just like the original cover. But it's not rubberized or whatever. Just feels like plastic.
It took about 2 weeks to arrive in Germany. That's actually quite fast.
I would love a case that replaces this faux leather and gives me some kind of backing that feels like a Nokia Lumia 930 / 1520. Awesome feeling...
Have you guys seen any replacement backs with that kind of material?

White or black phone with a black case?

Hey all!
I'm about to order my Xiaomi Mi4C and I can't decide what color to choose, white or black. I'm usually going with black on all my devices, but now that I'm looking at available cases and I see pictures of a white phone with a black case, I think it looks really nice.
Worth mentioning is that only the backside is white, and the front is still black. So when you're looking at the phone from the front, all you see will be black. But if you look at the phone from behind, you'll see 90% black and some nice details of white.
Below are two images that show what I mean:

Anyone mind helping me out with this? What would you do, as a guy that normally goes all black?
Hi,
Where did you find this case?
Found it the Nillkin logo was to small.
Just be aware that "black" isn't really black but more of a dark grey colour. I think it looks good and prefer my phones to be unobtrusive but that's my taste - you may differ.
As for the case, I got the official case from xiaomidevice here. It seems to be genuine and has a nice feel, softer than the polycarbonate back of the actual phone, not unlike the N5. It seems genuine and fits the phone perfectly though it does not protect the top or bottom front edges as it snaps on. This essentially means it's also a Mi 4i cover as it does not have hole specially designed to not cover the IR blaster.
Hope that helps!

Thanks a lot for your information! Ok, I see. Do you mind uploading a photo or two of your phone with the case on? I would greatly appreciate it. All photos I can find is with a white phone, so it would be interesting to see how it looks like with the "black/dark gray" phone and a black case.
I bought a white one because of the same picture ha, the black case fits really well with the white accents .
Also like wingsfortheirsmiles mentioned the mi4c black is more grey than black. If you're planning on using case most of the time I would go with a white phone and a black case
edit:
Here's a pic i found of the black phone with the black case

Ah cool kevinnol found a pic, I've just taken some pretty bad shots (sorry) ironically on my soon-to-be-sold Mi 4i: http://imgur.com/a/SxsVL
Haha @kevinnol, what a coincidence Yea, I will probably use a case most of the time. Thanks for your input and for finding that photo
Thanks @wingsfortheirsmiles for uploading photos of your phone! To be honest, it looks really nice and clean with the "black" phone as well. Uh... I might as well just flip a coin to decide what color to take
Considering I have a black phone right now, and most of my other stuff is black, it might be nice with a change.

The black bezel isn't that thin as invisible,but I am find with that.One reason I prefer the white version is that the black ones have a golden lining around the camera bump(white MIX 2 has it too),which in my eyes isn't that appealing.

So you got the white 2s with black bezel?
Could you provide a picture?
I want to buy the white one too, but I m afraid it will disturb when watching movies (as I am used to a black phone).
So this would be a nice back up option!

I always thought the OP talks about buying a screen protection with black glas around the display
It doesn't bother me. I notice it, but it doesn't bother me. I still think the phone is gorgeous!
Guys, this is how it looks like with black screen protector. Actually it's pretty fine.
