Technically, it's White vs. Grey...

"But, If

I bought a white one only because it was an open box item at bestbuy it was 50 dollars off. I have a case on it anyways so it doesn't matter to me.

I prefer the grey quite a bit, but...I always use a case so doesn`t really matter to me.

I vote for google io limited edition

I actually legitimately prefer the white back. I like the glossy finish vs the "brushed" finish.
But, now that I have the Tab installed in the samsung case, amounts to a hill of beans difference! Love the case!!

If you're concerned about what the back looks like, you're using it wrong.

Amen! Though I did go with white because I was getting tired of so many black gadgets...and then I stuck the Samsung book cover on it, which made it black

I tried to tell myself that when I first purchased the white one inadvertently. But aside from the color, the feel of the brushed grey is far superior (IMO) to the white plastic. The plastic feel of the white model just makes it feel cheap. The brushed grey almost makes me feel like its brushed aluminum...

ooohh.... yeah i mean gray actaully not that black
i think the gray or black will be better

Got the white, which was the only option at the local BB for the 32G version. As others mentioned, you can't see it during day to day use. The feel of the white back is that of any glossy plastic. Haven't held the ggray one, so I can't compare. Ideally, I wanted gray, but I'm very happy with my tab, regardless of color. Frankly, this is my first android device that I haven't rooted - I'm that happy with it.

HAHAH! That's hilarious.

I/O but.. White in this poll

I picked up the white one the other day at BestBuy for $541.24 with tax.. It got a lot of finger marks on the back after using it for a little bit. I returned it after finding a new in box black one for $450 on craigslist
This happened to be the "black" one (more like graphite grey or something) and this seems more resistant to finger prints. And beeing a little less smooth it seems like the grip is a bit better.
Thats just my $.02 though

since the front is NOT white in anycase like the iPad I would say black and grey is the best combo.

So it all boils down to wanting to look like the iPad? I honestly don't get that. The GT10.1 is superior to the iPad in so many ways - why would you want it to look like one?

The textured back on the gray has a great, secure feel, especially while scrolling screens and holding one-handed. I didn't want the white because of finger prints, assuming I would keep it naked in use and pouched for transport. The difference is night and day, but I miss having a built-in stand with a cover, so it likely won't matter in the end.

Regret getting white S2

Having had my white Galaxy S2 for about a month, I have actually gone off the white colour and now wish I had a black handset. It's a shame as when I first got my phone I was in love with the white colour and I was one of the first to get one of the white handsets on release day.
It's stupid I know but I wandered if anyone had a similar feeling and wished they had the other colour to the one they bought?
Anyone want to do a swap? Lol

Go to the xda marketplace and post the request for trade, I bet some one would be willing to trade with you

You can always get a black case (SGP or any other) and get SGP's Black Glass Screen protector for the front. Now you have a black phone! They also give you a black piece to cover your home button. Now you can switch in between your mood. That is what I am going to do. I hear what your saying though. I love my white one but sometimes I want the black front.

I frikin trade u. Pm me! Love white phones.

That's not a bad plan. I like the fact that you could choose between the two depending on what you fancy at the time.

GOD! i love my white S2 after years of nothing but black black black , I have had three back S2`s and the silver trim around the edge of the white S2 really does looks the dogs bollics.
But each to their own

A nice sleek silver phone would be lovely but i like my black GS2.

My white S2 is coming in on Friday
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium

I absolutely love the look of the white GS2, but I went with black for two main reasons. First, (and maybe you can confirm this), I read that the smooth back on the white version made the grip less sure compared to the rough back on the black. Second, as much as I love the look, I'm not really the type that likes to stand out too much, and a black smartphone is a lot less attention-grabbing than a white one, even if the latter is beautiful. Plus, I saved about $30 based on the best prices I could find when I bought. Okay, that was three reasons I guess, so sue me.
But yeah, the white usually costs a bit more, as you can see here already, you won't have any trouble trading someone.

Love my white SGS 2 here using SGP with satin silver niiiice

I own a black gs2 and my wife has a white gs2. I like both but I do really like hers more! Looks awesome in white!

It's all a matter of preference. Go for it if it makes you happy. I know a lot of people including me who's like white one. Problem is that option was not available locally and I wanted a phone with warranty.

Haha that's exactly what I keep getting told. Which has put me off the white. Don't get me wrong, I still like the look of it but would much prefer the black.

I prefer the Black as I have got a Black One all my phones have either been Black or Silver.
My colleague just got a White one and It kinda looks Odd compared to mine so quite happy
Yeah and its true girls look cool with white phones

Argh, my first white phone and I love it.
But today I somehow got ink on my hands from a badly made pen and must have picked up my phone,
ink marks stay on the phone and are NOT easily wiped off.
Went from screen cleaner -> lens cleaner -> flash -> Mr muscle, which FINALLY did the job.
The joys of a white phone

I got the white sgs2 after waiting for one month. I love it. I'm happy that I waited for it and didin't buy the black one. Looks awesome in white.

Anyone switch from Blue to White?

I like the blue quite a bit, but the white one seems to be grabbing my attention the more I look at it. Has anyone here made the switch and regretted it?

OmG doesnt matter what other ppl thinks..choose the one that you like more
ps.for me white looks better

haha I'm just getting some opinions man. Sometimes people switch and there may be something they don't like about their decision that can help me make an informed decision.
Sure it's a preference but there are other aspects to the colors that can help a dude decide. Light leak, dirt etc

gotta agree with him.. decide for you not for others. but i am also confused about the colors as well they are both very good. i guess i will just close my eyes and put my hand on one and buy that color lol

Eww I waited for the blue one and I'm glad I did. I held the white phone of my cousin in my hand. And imo it felt subjectively cheap to me after having the blue one! I would never never buy a white one, but as I said taste is very subjective!
Just go to a shop or friend and take it in your hand and then you can decide for yourself

is that your opinion or experience? cuz the thing with me is i hate it when my phone gets dirty thats why i was leaning towards the blue more

It is a smudge magnet. It's dark and glossy...I mean unless you have some kind of special fingers it gets smudgy.
I have a matte skin coming for mine to take care of that and a regular skin on there now that helps, but naked it gets pretty smudgy.

I dont get it.. how can the white feel cheap when the only difference between the two is color? If you closed your eyes and handled them you wouldnt be able to tell which is blue and which is white so how can the white feel cheaper? lol
I will be getting the blue though only because I dont like white phones.. on that note.

For me it's not smudgy my old arc was much much worse, but I did notice one thing. I put a Samsung flip cover to help protect it, for some reason that back gets a little smudge? But the original didn't

Honestly I can't look at the blue version in a direct light: that brushed finish it has around the screen becomes all shiny and looks cheap as hell, really hurts my eye. A friend of mine is getting it today and i tried everything to convince him to go with the white one, but no luck. I wonder how people aren't bothered by this, especially in direct sunlight...

That's what I didn't like about the blue one. The white is just a simple colour, which, looks much more elegant (if you consider only the pattern by itself).
Also, that after a few months I'd look at it and think "Ugh, why did I get this colour?!". Shades of grey, black and white are more neutral. If I had to pick only one colour clothes for the next two years, it wouldn't be blue, so neither is my phone.
But to be honest, the blue being dark is nice. If it had been that dark in grey, I would have definitely picked it. (I think the brushed finish probably would have suited grey better anyway). My white hasn't had any transfer staining so far, but I am slightly worried hearing what others have said. I'll just have to make sure to use only dye-free (clear) cases.

blue
i have had three blue ones because of various faults. after i sent my first blue one back i went to the carphone warehouse to see the white one in the flesh as the replacement date was earlier for the white.
but after comparing it to the blue one i decided to wait for another blue.
again there was unrelated fault and had to send back again, still waited for a blue and very glad i held out as i love it.
just my opinion, maybe because i have a white s2

White and blue note 10.1

Hi. Im just about to place order for note 10.1 can any one suggest me for which color i should go for? Plw advise right now cause tomorrow is off and i want tablet today. So its a last minute suggestion from u guys... i always ask xda community for colors at last moment...

Personal taste mate, I picked grey/black cos I liked that, others prefer white... The hardware is the same either way....
Mine doesn't matter anyway as I stick it in a folder style case for protection and ease of carrying.

Im a dark color kind of person..i like dark color..so i pickup dark gray..

No offense friend but do you ever spend ANY time searching the forum before posting a new question? Just as with your previous question, this subject has been discussed to death in multiple threads.
That being said, you'll probably put your tablet in a case so the color doesn't really matter. My experience with my SGS2 is that a black case stained the white plastic so you may want to keep that in mind. I bought the carbon one.

Depending on where you at the white in the usa is on 0nly 16gb the blue one comes in16 and 32 gb thats what i can tell you

u r right dude but this is my last thread about note and colors. i have pre ordered for a white one. i will not put my tablet in case. i dont even put my phone in a case or what not. that looks kinda odd to me. cause these devices are made colorful and beautiful to show, not to protect in ugly cases... im not saying u should not be careless but taking full care is a must when not using cases... or else..... u know Gorilla glass 2 on Samsung Galaxy S3...

The white model looks good in cases and by itself. And the biggest pro for me is that it probably shows up fingerprints around the bezel less easily. I can't stand a fingerprint stained screen.
I got the dark blue/grey one in the end coz I didn't trust my hands with the white inbuilt s pen with my sweaty palm and all. The dark blue/grey one makes a very nice contrast against the chromish speaker grill and sides I must admit.
But either colour looks equally good
the whole GALAXY to NOTE about...counting down from 10 to 1.

Yeah really its just a matter of taste. Hope you never drop your tablet. These things don't bounce well.

Actually, as posted In another thread, I've proven the opposite to be true. Two drops so far without a case. Slippery little sucker! Faired extremely well. At least now I finally have a case. :laugh:

White looks good... buttt with amoled screens and me loving to watch videos I went with the dark one, I feel like the white will distract me when I'm watching a video whereas a dark color would just dissapear... make sense? Oh plus I went to the apple store and saw how dirty the white iPad looked so consider that as well.

Deep grey is cool.

u can watch videos on youtube with two colors , mine is white i choosed it cuz i didnt find black only grey and i love white&black only

Again its like the egg and chicken theory which never ends this will never end take what you like and once you buy it you will put it in a case so what you took in first place will not matter anyways simple as it is

Black or White

I have an upgrade (Verizon) and have opted for the S3 over the Note 2, because of size and rom development.
I am a 23 year old, built dude who needs help with the color lol. Black (kinda boring but different for an s3) or white (which is so common and sort of feminine, but exemplifies freshness).

"Doesn't matter if [...] black or white"
xD

I have the black and I regret it. You see too much fingerprints and dust whereas my white never showed anything. DEFINITELY WHITE!!!

This is a weird thread, but after a bad experience with a black pleather slip case 'rubbing' against an old HTC Hero G2 and eventually causing a non-removal grey/black smudge on the phone, I avoid white phones.
The white S3 looks nice, but I have a pebble blue myself.

Don't know if it's an option but I've got the i9305 in titanium & it's a very nice colour

Wow. You're just a tool I guess.
Opinions from people who actually have them (versus trolls like you) actually would help.

I like both and I've seen both genders have these colors. Actually it's odd at my office since all the male have white phones.. except me. haha. But if you're ok with both and are looking for something different, go with the opposite color from your old phone.
