I thought I would like the white version but it is too pinkish. Reminds me of an Easter egg. So I'm going to sell this one and either get the blue or black version. I'd really love the green version but it has the exynos chipset and it flat out sucks. So if anyone has or has seen the blue and black versions please give me some opinions. Thanks.
I got the prism white and only exynos available in my region. I suggest you go and see some demo phones which one you really like. In my region, only black and white is availble and I would go for yellow for me.
I got the prism Black exynos. Just loving it.
Keep in mind Prism Black is actually a very dark shade of navy.

When you start the app, at the xda splach screen is the bronze / red colour the same across the whole screen or is it like a gradient getting lighter towards the top left?
Just wondering if my screen is duff but maybe I'll be better downloading a screen test app.

No, nothing wrong with your screen for that reason. Just loaded xda and it does change shades from top to bottom.
If you think there's issue with the screen, google search for a photographic color calibration image, that should give you a good image to check with.
Thanks. I thought that was the case as I haven't seen this problem in any other apps or when using the phone normally. Still a relief to hear though!
no clue, i have set mine to DARK theme to safe power.
but when i look at a BLANK WHITE page, the 2 bottom corners just above the 4 soft buttons have a weird purplish gradient, which did not exist in Galaxy S
but that is due the Concave screen design
Mines on dark also but I'm talking about the splash screen that shows on starting the app - whether light or dark theme selected.
No such purple tint here.
The xda splash screen gradient looks a little banded because of the pentile sub pixel layout of the amoled screen. Nothing really wrong with your screen, that's just the way it is with these screens. It's a trade off.
Don't think I'm seeing banding, it's just the fact the xda splash screen tends to lighten as it gets to the top left of the screen.
From what others have said this seems normal though so. I'm not concerned.
Ah got it, I mis read. Yeah I think that's normal.
This is slightly off topic but relevant to the xda app. When I first view a new thread using the app, it always jumps either to the last page or a random page. Or if the thread is only one page long, it starts halfway down the thread. Again this is for new threads I've never viewed before. Anyone else experiencing this or know how I can fix this?
Thanks!

Yep seeing this too and never quite worked out the pattern / reason.
Don't worry about hijacking the thread, my question was answered long ago

on the Nexus S
i have a very nice and smooth dark brown to light brown gradient going from bottom right to top left
on the Galaxy S
the same gradient looks like chopped, chunky, banded, it's like looking at a picture in 16bit color (SGS) vs 32bit color (SNS)

That's interesting. I thought these used the same screen technology - samoled?

That's originally what I meant with my post cause I see the banding on my screen too. It should be identical since these screens are literally identical I believe.
that's what i would like to know as well.. i was left when i did the comparison
All the new reviews show the device as being brown, whereas some of the earlier images showed a black device. Does anyone know if the US model will indeed just be brown like all the new reviews?

Pebble blue isn't really blue. The back is blue, but the front is kind of a shade of purple. The home button is the worst, it's a deep purple. It's three different shades of color! >.<
Honestly, the Pebble Blue SGS3 is virtually indistinguishable from black, unless one gives it a close look.

this+1 In most angles when you look at it it is black.......only when you angle it so light is reflecting off the face do you see the blue, and the colors are not all crazy purple and weird like people say.......it looks very high end and professional sitting on the meeting table while the others with their huge thick camoflage and neon Otterbox iPhones look like childrens phones in comparison
Too late for me, I got a white 16GB one for free from Verizon. ( they messed up the Razr with the ICS update. It broke flash player and more)
This will be cool for fan's of black and I would likely want black, but I kind of like to have white just one time at lest.
Buy All type of Androide Mobile and Tablets in Wholesale price.
thanks for info
Thank you for your sharing.
fuark! would trade my white 16gb for a black one!
Wish they came out with all the colors up front I wanted the red one too bad its just for att

Not me, this is my first white device and I freaking love it.
LOL, after looking at the white G3's that all the girls I work with are using I'm awful glad I held out & waited for the blue..........
Well, having seen the pictures of the black model and the blue mode in person there is definitely distinguishable difference in color. The black S3's color is dark and rich while the pebble blue looks more purple which is why I opted for the white S3. I was hoping a black model would have been released first.

Edit:
Sorry. Never mind. I have looked for more videos. And it is not always true that black is for Black Mist and white is for White Frost
The result is mixed.
Maybe there is a setting somewhere. This is just so bizarre.
Once again, I am sorry about this false info. My apologies.
Mindblown.
Anyways, more reason to get the black version.
What?

For those who have been wondering and/or those who did not pay attention,
The settings background is white for White Frost and black for Black Mist.

That is weird so they have two different version of touchwiz based on the model? Can't possibly be so there must be a setting somewhere to set black or white. By default they might be setting white on the white models and black on the black ones.
I believe it was/is white on the GS4s that haven't received final production firmware. After the firmware update the settings menu will be black.
There is a similar thread already, but the OP over there can't add a poll
Here is a poll , just for fun and the curiosity
Here you got a small video comparison till this beast hit the showrooms:
.
That video is what sold me on black. The horizontal bands don't appear to be as prominent as the grey was on the Note 2.
But you didn't vote :laugh:

Yeah, I was going to get the white one until I seen that same video. The phone looks like color with the screen off, which I like.
I just think it's a shame, they didn't start with blue or red instead of that pink..
Perhaps they know better .... nah .......

It's only 12 votes so far, but I think the preference is already clear..
Can't imagine any other color catching up ....
.
I wish there was a grayish/silver color with a dark gray bezel, just like on my Titanium Note 2
But Jet Black will do ....
.
.
i went with the Jet Black as well...
Not a big fan of white phones, remind me of iphones and give apple fanboys another reason to say samsung copies apple. I wish samsung would do away with the white and do a nice slate/gray instead. Heck they got pink so why not....
My note 2 is white and i love it so note 3 also will be on white...
I had a white Note 2 and currently own a white S4 and white Galaxy Camera. I think they look really great but I fancy a change now and black looks better with the leather effect. I also think you get better screen contrast with the a black bezel.
I'm getting a black one.
Reason: It's black
I see that 5 ladies voted...
Just joking :laugh:
.
Black for me. After seeing that video, I just think it looks better in black than in whit or pink.
The Galaxy Gear is Mocha Gray...
Since I am not in hurry of buying the Note3 ( eventually I will), I hope that till then there will be a Gray kinda of Titanium colored Note3 too ...
.
Black or darker bezels are way cooler
The back cover usually gets a case anyways
Does the black actually help to set the screen apart from the bezel as the video stated?
I'm really divided between black and white, and I'm trying to find a good reason to choose one over the other.

Black creates a better contrast against all the bright colors (this is why the display on white phones pop more when the screen is OFF). It makes the display pop more. The "black" however is not really a black. It's a darker grey-scale color than the titanium note 2, with the same horizontal striping but not as prominent. No doubt it will make the display pop more than white though. In light, the white is conceptually brighter than the display.
