Bronze or black? - Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers

Hello. I want to make an order. And want to ask what colour you choose?
It it that mystic bronze is a little bit pink colour?
What you think about it?

Samsung stupid. Only the boring black gets the most memory. It was the same with the last note. If you wanted the 512 you couldn't get it with the CD color. I wanted the 512 but I don't want to be stuck with a boring black phone so I opted for the 128gb. It's ok, I have a 512gb card so it's no big deal. to me, i'd rather have the color and change the storage cap than have to toss on a tacky fake carbon fiber decal.
Also, I was hoping they'd bring back the grey from the s20 or give us that green from the note 20.

I prefer black. I wish all of them were matte though.
For this much $$$ the 512GB Ultras should be ceramic black. I owned both the regular black and ceramic S10+. If you wanted the gargantuan 1TB you had to get it. Ceramic back is amazing and super durable. If it were possible to (affordably) make it optically clear for the screen side there would literally be no need for any screen protector...

The bronze looks a lot pink to me, I'm pretty sure the designer just wanted a phone that matched their nail polish.

I went with bronze. I love black phones, and I was determined to get one this year, since I haven't had one since the Note 8. But then I saw the matte finish on the bronze. And when I saw it in person, it was absolutely gorgeous, so I couldn't pass it up.

I already posted a thread about colour preferences including a POLL that you might find interesting:

Agree. I am a little disappointed really. I've had a couple people see my phone and thought it was pink.

Yeah I went with bronze bc I'll admit it... iPhone 11 pros look good in that matte finish...

I'm going to buy one today which color is better?

Which one looks nice the gray or the white and why ????
Which color do you like more? No one else can answer that for you. I got the white mostly because I ordered the unlocked gsm version and that was the only color but I like it.

I like both but which one do you think have the more expensive look and feel among the two.
I got the White since almost every tablet is dark in color.... And I wanted to be different. :victory:
Having owned a white Samsung Epic 4G Touch, let me warn you on the white. Samsung uses soft plastic and it get's easily stained.
I have the dark graphite model and will not show dirt (other than finger oil smudges).
I got dark grey so I wouldn't be mistaken for an iPad d-bag.
White is the new generic color. White to most = iPad. My Note phone is white and I'm not a huge fan. I've actually been thinking about getting rid of it for something smaller.

The bezel on the white note looks bigger because of its color but the only thing i like about the white is that it has a glossy texture which makes it feel more expensive than the gray or is it the opposite?

The back of the gray unit looks like graphite in texture even though it is just plastic. I like it personally.
I pre ordered the grey for my wife. Apparently one of the few females that doesn't like whites!
I like my white galaxy s3 though.

That sounds a little bit racist! Obviously not meant to be, but it just immediately made me think of someone saying "My wife, now she don't like them whites!" Good laughs.
To the point though, I have a Galaxy Player and I really like the white on it. However, the front is black so it tones it down. I've been looking for white note 10.1s , but they're going fast, or there weren't as many. I may just go dark grey so I can get it from Newegg now. Online shopping, no tax but you can't trade it in as easily if you made the wrong choice.

I've had a white e-reader and it was a mistake - white border makes the screen look worse somehow. On LCD it might not be such issue though because it's brighter.
I bought the gray - really like it. I'm not into the white because of the finger-stain possibility. At least to my eyes, the gray looks fairly classy (although as someone else stated, it doesn't really make it stand out from the crowd....).
I got the deep grey because to me it looks nicer, is probably less prone to getting dirty and isn't mistaken for a white Apple dumbPad.

Can't agree more with that, seems like ipad users like the white border...
If my white E4GT is any indication the white plastic stains easily.

Which color to get?

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
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.

Mocha Gold color option, like or dislike?

I went with the Mocha Gold option, and I was really hesitant before ordering. In person it looks much more subtle than some of the pictures and videos online were totally off. From the back, in certain light, it almost looks like a softer rose gold? But every time I look at it in different light it looks different. Overall I am really happy I went with it though.
What do you think of the color options? Which color did you get?
I need to see in person. Seems cool, but if too gold or brown not so much. A bronze though might be cool. Anyways not much help as I can't really say anything other than curious until I see in person.
I got white and put black protector on screen so it is black front and white back like the Nexus phones. Such a small thing but really looks tons better. I would have gone for silver or grey but hard to tell not seeing them in person, a deep rich grey would be nice though. Love this as is though, just wish the bottom black bezel covered the nameplate completely or had oval cutout rather than rectangular cutout - looks less polished with the rectangular cutout but can't find any that are otherwise.

I wanted to go with the Space Grey originally, but the 6 GB 128 GB premium version was only offered in Mocha Gold or Gold. Overall it looks almost nothing like the pictures, but they did the colors very well and I am impressed. Its more of a softer or low-key gold than brown, not quite rose gold, but darker.
Still would have preferred the Space Grey as its more of a minimal clean look, but meh, it still looks very good. :silly:
I originally got Gold but it has a shiny coat on the back which I didn't like. Swapped it for a Mocha with a matte finish on the back and loving it.

Which color do you like the most?

Which one is your favourite?
Mirror Black. Glass is something new & better imo, (antennas) and if it's glass, don't make it to look like metal.
Not too fussed as it'll be thrown in a case and I'll not see it again until I sell it on ebay next year lol. I would prefer the Midnight Black though as it'll likely show less dirt and finger print smudges than the shiny Mirror finish version.
Midnight Black, the mirror black is only a fingerprint magnet.
Midnight Black, as it's the only one with 256GB of storage. But I'm getting a full body case as soon as I can anyway, so it doesn't really matter.
I pre-ordered mine in midnight black
in case of Midnight black, wouldn't keep asking you if its metallic of mirror?
The white looks lovely....
Midnight, I really like its low profile elegance.
Last year seen a bit too much of glossy glass backs.
Dual tone looks good in glass, but single tone black is not appealing for me.
Midnight has a certain moderate gloss in bright light which I like a lot

First time I'm actually torn between choosing a colour. All three look great to me.
I'm thinking mirror black just because it is said to have oleophobic coating, which would help remove fingerprints quite easily (inadvertent wiping when putting it in your pocket for example).
Im thinking midnight black just because it seems to be the safe choice, most clean/stealthy looking, and it's usually the type of colour I go for when purchasing smartphones.
Silk white because it has this beauty/elegance to it, with the rose gold trim.
I'm probably going to get opinions of friends and family and go from there, just because of how confused I am with the choices lol
The white for me, the should have done a gloss white version also as that would look really nice.
So how long till they start dropping the other colors? Oh wait, once everyone has already bought the device....just like always lol

I would like top get mirror black, glass with any extra cover and minimum 256gb storage.
I do not understand why they cannot make 256gb version in any color.
However, oneplus retarded enough not to put cheap wireless charging coil under glass back cover.
Now I will have to buy external wireless charging coil !!

The results are in, and it seems it is a split between midnight black and silk white. Virtually no one recommended I get the mirror black because of fingerprints being visible all the time.
They also reminded me I'm a case person so that would end up hiding the gloss finish as well lol (given I don't use a clear case).
I'm still torn between the colours, but hey, at least it's now between two colours!
Silk white..... I am going to put a dbrand skin on it anyways, but when I don't have a skin on it I want it to be something that shows no fingerprints.
I went with mirror black because everyone else is buying midnight Black. ?
One a serious note, it won't really matter as the back will be covered by iron man case. ?
Plus, I can show off that mirror back when I want by just removing the case on special occasions. Haha ?
I liked the silk white, yesterday at the popup I got the midnight black - the back really hides fingerprints well - nothing like the reflective clear mirror black.
Midnight because of 256GB of storage, but I grabbed the nylon case too.
I got mine...
Mirror Black...
It's beautiful and the smudges wipe off very easily.
The coating oleophobic is very good this time...

Flossy black!
I know it's only 16 votes so far but I am surprised that bronze and black share the lead right now. Bronze was heavily promoted by Samsung and tech bloggers seem to love it. I ordered that colour even without seeing it in real life, hope it lives up to the hype!
I like the bronze but it only comes in black for 512gb
Got Black as it's the only way to get 512Gb.

I'm curious on how Samsung marketing works. Why do they release certain colors on certain models. I got the bronze 128 but would have loved it in 128
Sent from my IN2017 using Tapatalk
Got black for 512GB but I also feel (from the pics I have seen) that the bronze looks to close to rose gold. It's great to see so many people like the mystic bronze but it's just not my style, I'm more boring and always liked black. All my vehicles have either been black or white (tied at 2 a piece for white and black but my first car was grey so in the middle of the 2, lol). Also after I strayed from black phones to the coral blue Note 7 I feel cursed to stray from black again lol. Anyway, 512GB only on mystic black also forces my hand even if they had another colour. Why they don't make both colours optional 512GB is stupid but it's Samsung.

I agree. I really like the Mystic Green color, but it's only on the smaller note. And on top of 512GB in black only, no 256GB in the US ?
What irks me is that they'll release more colors later. Why not release all of them?
After going with Aura Glow last year on the Note 10+, I found myself wishing I had gone for Aura Black. I just love the look of the all black slab with the screen off. But I also HATE the greasy fingerprints on black, and I've been wanting a matte phone forever. I actually have a matte clear skin on the rear of my Aura Glow Note 10+, which made it just an irridescent silver color.
So I was all set on Mystic Black and had no interest in bronze. But after seeing it was a matte finish, I began looking a little closer at it. I finally pre-ordered it in bronze last night. After looking at it in person at Best Buy today, I feel confident I made the right choice. It really has a premium look to it, and I didn't really get a rose gold vibe from it. Plus if I get sick of it, I'll put a white skin on the back, which will look amazing with the bronze frame and camera mountain.

That's great to know that you got to see it in real life, a lot of reviewers say that the colour looks better in real life. Cameras seem to make it look more rose gold than bronze. I blindly ordered mine in Bronze because of the praise it was getting in reviews. So thank you for confirming I made the right choice )

Retailers often promote whatever they find themselves with a surplus of.
I was going to get the white, but went with bronze due to the matte finish. Was slightly tempted to the black only for the 512GB, but I have 128 in my current S20 Ultra and I don't use it all, plus will have an SD card waiting for the phone.

That's true of retailers trying to shift stock, but that doesn't apply in this case as we are talking about a product that's not released yet.
They promoted Aura Glow last year and it quickly became the 'must have' colour based on the feedback from reviewers. I still love it. So bronze is also taking the same reviewers by storm. I am confident it will still be the most popular, black being also popular but probably only because of the limitation on the 512Gb variant.
.
i was sold on the bronze but went and saw it in person and didnt like it as much.
if I get one i will import a 512gb mystic white one likely since the dipshits at samsung only sell 512gb in black in Canada again this year.
I ordered Mystic bronze. It looks really nice in pictures.
Ordered bronze 128gb with 512 gb SD card $79. For the win ha.
