[Q] Who else has a white one??

I traded my black one for a white one due to the 2 black ones I had being defected....
The white one seems to be running flawless but I must say I miss the soft touch black lol
Who else has a white one and why did you pick it over the others??

Isnt the white one gloss? Where the others are matte

i got the white one cause i think it looks better then the rest. black is to boring looking. every phone now a days is black. i wanted the white one cause it looks nice and stands out. i can careless if its different then the rest on the sides.

I wanted the red but they didn't have it. They only had white and black, so I figured I'd go w the color I never get.

How were your black ones defective?

The Lcd screen under the glass were rotated lol I was bad....

they chose white gloss due to a matte finish would be a dirt magnet
plus at the end of the day most of use will put a cover on it anyway

I don't see how a color of a phone is going to effect the phone being defective....

So on the black phone is the part that is all white on the mytouch all rubber? I have really slow internet connection with my white one so I am gonna take it to tmobile and test one of there mt4g to see if its just my phone or where I live. I've never had slow internet before

I don't have the white one, but have thought about getting it, as the white part is a hard plastic finish. I am worried about the paint on the red one that I got peeling off, which would be the case with the other colors too, except for the white. You know how that black finish use to peel off after use?

i dont think the rubber on the rest of the phones matter really. i just got back from tmobile and its not a big difference at all. i can barely tell a difference. i will stick with my white one. to bad my tmobile internet sucks really bad in my area. we can barley get 500kbps at best its really sad

I elected for the white one...because it matches my white netbook that is always with me, and because I prefered the smooth finish over the rubberized finish that was almost completely peeled off on the demo units they had in the store

I have a white one but I always wanted a black one. I hear they're bigger.

Because earlier, you were replying to someone who was being very tongue-in-cheek, and I don't think you realized it. The following person *thought* you realized it, but I don't think you caught it. Correct me if I'm wrong. This doesn't happen all that often on the internet, where someone assumes sarcasm, but is mistaken. It's usually happens the other way around.

[Q] Full white defy

Hello, everyone!
In past i'm iphone user and for long time waited for white iphone.
Now i am happy defy owner, but i still want full-white phone.
Perhaps, someone here have experience, to turn your defy in white?

me too interested..love the white..some full white protection case are there on ebay...

Get some paint

It'll look like you're talking into a bar of soap.

Lovely for take with gloves

The proximity and light sensors are clearly seen on this white Defy. With black they are hardly see(almost hidden). But still it look beautiful, my last motorola phone (E398) was full white too.

would be nice

Defy in white. Sexy. But I don't like all the sensors up there, visible. Bleah. In black version you can't see them...
@farsight73 - You have a "default" frecvency of 1000Mhz, not Ghz.

... looks like motorola try to make something like ip*one feeling to the defy
Better stay black, or black with some white.
Just my 2cent

very nice - -

I love my Black.White combination.. full white wont give that feel.

I'd settle for a white battery cover. Tired of my phone looking like an oreo.

Pebble Blue back cover (Samsung changed the colour)

I know there was a thread about this before but I cant seem to find it. I also think there were no comparison pictures either
First of all I have two phones because the first one I bought had a fault with the glass.
The shiny one is from the faulty phone and the darker one is my new one.
Which one do you think looks better?
PS: If you see it in real life its not as noticeable as in the pictures.. but you can still easily see it. The darker one looks more purple/ black and the shiny one looks like more of a shaded mirror.
Also the shape at the bottom of the shiny one is from a back cover protector. I took it off but the muck/ dirt was still on there..

Oh yeah... these are both international versions bought from amazon UK.

Me and two friends have the pebble blue bought on the same day and they are different shades to them.

If you ask me samsung screwed by changing color.....i was happy about back as well when i heard sammy changed color to more serious one, bit now when i got it i realised that front looks so much cooler despite its purple color in light
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

Just noticed the front is a different shade too.
It's not as noticeable as the back though.

I like the mirrored back.

So I kept the new back cover instead of the old one.
My phone looks black from a distance.

Great cover i like it

White version dirty?

Not sure if it's just my eyes decieving me but any users with the white phone feel that the sides are becoming a lil bit yellowy?
I know the phone isn't pure white, but I don't think the phone itself should change colour with the material used?! :silly:
I use a case too, & I also mean the part that's around the middle glass strips which seem 'drity'?

This is a little knowledge of what my brother taught me raw materials regarding of white paint since he is production manager of our family business manufacturer of paint. It may apply possible in xperia z. There are two version one is pearly white and bluish white. Bluish white is more better and really expensive due to for prolong years of used and wear and tear its white is likely white but not as new. But the pearly white after long year's exposed white will become dirty white. For me, it is inevitable for the white version of xperia z.

Thanks for the info, that's a shame because it's a very nice looking phone
I would have thought the case would protect it from getting dirty quickly too

If anything a case will be more likely to speed up the process, especially plastic/rubber cases, the chemicals in them are rather reactive with paints. Typically, it shouldn't tarnish that fast, try using some natural non-abrasive cleaning products to bring the white back a bit. White especially will look dirty from just general sweat and mucky fingers. Hope this helps.

Yeah mine is tpu case, the case is white too & the corners have become very mucky already.
I do have a plastic one but find it's not as good when protecting the phone. What form of cleaning products do you recommend that is safe & worth a try? Like I said, it could just be my eyes & the phone was already that colour Just wanted to see if anyone else felt the same?

Mine still is nice and white

ANY white surface will yellow over time. It is inevitable, except if you use your phone in a presurized bag and in absolute darkness where UV radiation will not affect it.

purple ones seems won't have this trouble

nah...
any color will get dirty..
even my black one...

Haha I rarely wear make up actually - you saying I am ugly? :angel:
I have come to the conclusion that it's not dirty, prob just my imagination & the lighting I am in to look at it isn't the best. But I think it prob has faded slightly also

Which color black or platinum?

Guys which color would you recommend. Both color has one advantage and one disadvantage like: Black color G6 is fingerprint magnet but front is more immersive with hidden black border. Platinum color has black thin border around screen. However back is less prone to smudges.
I wanna know how is the look and feel. Is there is any difference. I didn't find any topic related to color so made one:silly:

I'm not sure you are going to get a conclusive answer here.
Personally I went for the Platinum. I don't use a case and thought the platinum/silver would hold up better over time, also all of my phones have been black so I thought I would have a change this time. I'm very happy with my decision, although I would say the black probably looks nicer when it's clean.
The only real way you are going to be able to make a decision though is by going to a store and looking at both.

The paint on the aluminum on the black one also chips so have that in mind. I've had both colors. First a platinum and now a black one. It's hard to pick a favorite but black just "always works". Though the silver front can reflect light pretty nicely at times.

The grip is just fine! Feels good in the hand. Though the back is a smudge magnet and feels greecy. Going to Dbrand mine.
The black paint on the aluminum will go off if you hit the sides of the aluminum. Making silver spots on the black paint. In a while it could get potentially ugly and look like wear and tear.

I think all manufacturer should add black front only. Other colors like white, silver or gold effect the viewing experience and looks bad. My HTC 10 topaz gold was having white front bezels with similar black borders around screen, so I added black color orzly tempered glass instead of white one to make it look black lol it works
Sent from my LG V20 using XDA Labs

I was not a fan of the platinum until I saw it for real. I wanted it when I saw it but it turned out I could only get black anyway. I am glad I did. The all-black front looks better to me and I like the darker coating on the aluminum edge too. Of course the platinum back looks better and there is no coating on the aluminum to wear off. To me the decider there is which part of the phone I will be looking at 99% of the time. But for others the decider will be which part of the phone OTHER people will be looking at.
Ultimately I'd say you wouldn't regret either though so I wouldn't agonize over it too much.

I wanted white, but it turns out that the white one is gold/pinkish so I took a look at the grey and the black one... The grey "looks" cheaper than the black one imo, but that might not be important to you.
I really like white phones because I have sweaty hands and I leave a lot of smudges on black phones. You can't tell on white ones.
The main reason I went with the black is because there is a black border around the screen... its very obvious on the white and grey phones but on the black one its invisible! It would have annoyed the living hell out of me...
I'd suggest you go look at all 3 variants in person and decide there... I was really close to purchasing the girly white one online, hopefully i didn't.

Thanks! guys for all your input. I am really loving G6 community. Good phone, good people
Sent from my LG V20 using XDA Labs

My wife & I each got a new G6. She went with platinum and I with black so we could easily tell whose phone was whose... And then she went out & got a "cute" (read obnoxious) case so it didn't matter anyway.

I am using titanium/silver variant, and its dam good
Hey buddy, its been a while i am using LG g6 silver, The problem u r talking about the border, i never notice it on a normal usage, I just notice when I read any article stating this issue and then my eyes intentionally focus on black border, Silver looks really classy and I recommend it.
But if u like black and the only reason it is a fingerprint magnet, then u can buy cover or dbrand cover for ur LG g6, which will look awesome on black lg g6. And anyways the drop test isn't so impressive as u must have seen on youtube. You won't keep your phone without cover anyway.

Double thought about the color here too...
I wanted to buy the platinum one at first, but the thing is that my carrier only have black one. So after a few articles and YouTube videos, it turns out black is also a good deal, in some segments maybe even better then platinum? I'll just have to take care of the back (skin or cover), right?

clearly a personal choice
I saw that video also, black is a finger print magnet, wanted platinum anyway, so that's what I got. Happy with it.
One thing additionally though, the question about 'how it feels', some say 'good size' etc, I agree, except one thing, this phone is slick as snot. Slickest damn phone I've ever had. You really want to use a deliberate grip, it will surprise with how slippery it can be.
Love it though, awesome phone

I too wanted a platinum, but was not in stock. Ended up getting the blue one with the black front, best of all worlds I'd say!

Black is always the best
Black LG G6 looks stunning... It is better to when compared to platinum

Yup, went for the black... It does look awesome!

Bought one of each, gave my wife the choice of which one she wanted. She chose the platinum. Now I'm kind of wishing I hadn't offered her the choice. The black looks like any other phone; the platinum looks rich and classy.

I’ve just ordered the black. Look forward to receiving it tomorrow
