I don't care what anybody says, that bezel is straight up purple. Just like the ugly galaxy s3 one.

Couldn't find a smaller knife? Geesh #machete
Well that confirms it.
The midnight blue has a slightly blueish/purpleish tone to it's trim.
Guess im getting white...
The phone is BEAUTIFUL! I myself am more interested in the white ver but the tinted aluminum trim doesn't look bad at all imo. And I'd venture to say that silver trim/frame with the dark blue back might be to contrasty
I still can't tell if the metal part is dark gray or freaky blue
It's beautiful, but it has the slightest blue tint.
To start with, @20degrees, Think you need to remember what a "Bezel" is. You were saying the bezel looks purple, and my first thought was "No.... i'm pretty sure the bezel is black... like on most other phones". What you mean is the metal trim/frame/whathaveyou.
I, personally, would still rather avoid the white like the plague. I've never been a fan of the look of white phones (not to mention just worrying about the color itself, with potential discoloration from the plastic itself or from stuff rubbing against it i.e. pants material, etc...), and i actually quite like the purple-ish look to the metal frame of the Nexus 6. I mean... it's called "Midnight Blue".... not "Blue".
Im getting a white but not because of the purple thing cause I like that actually, but because of the blue back being a fingerprint magnet. But if they only have blue at launch then ill gladly settle for that. But Goodness gracious this phone is so beautiful!
How hard can it be for them to launch a damn Black phone ... Blue nexus Google really ?

I've had four whit phones and none of them have ever showed any signs of discolouring so don't worry about that.

Did he say it doesn't have the soft touch back? Does anyone know the texture of the white or blue?

Whatever. The bezel to me is what's around the screen.
The trim is purple. Who cares really? It's purple....

That's why I prefer the white, hate the blueish bezel, I had the blue S3 and didn't like the blue bezels. What they should have done was to to give options to change the back cover like the moto x to give it even more personalization......just a thought.
I have the Moto X 2014, it has the same trim around the edges & it's a gray/silver color from a distance I guess the black front can give that color look, but in reality it is gray.
Some girls are hot from a distance. I care what they look like up close. Lol

I am waiting for the Note 4 to come out in my country so I haven't seen them in real life. Currently I am thinking of going for the white or the black one. Since the metal frame is coloured as the rest of the phone, I was wandering if the black one is more prone to scratches or maybe more that the scratches being more visible on the black one? I am also wandering if the back on the black and white differ when holding the phone, one being more slippery than the other?
The black one is non-slip and soft coated, while the white one is hard and slippery.
The white certainly isnt hard and slippery at all, thats nonsense.
Unless your country makes a different backing than the units released in my country. I noticed no notable difference between black and white backcovers myself. Except the colour, obviously.
of course not..the material they are made of is same ..only colour is different.
scratches depend on your usability
I have both and I think that the black one is better build then the white. More solid, well builded and not slippery at all.
The back of the white one is not slippery at all.

A lot of reviews do mention that the black has more grip to it, whether it is all in the mind or not I don't know!
Interestingly I had a Galaxy Tab Pro in white and when I exchanged it for a black one I immediately thought how much better it felt on the back.
Maybe there is a slight difference in the plastics but it's only a theory, I can only go by my experience too.
Kinda off topic here but I urge everyone to buy it in Black. The contrast of the color against the metal sides is just gorgeous. Not quite as apparent on the white model.
Both have a great grip and I wouldn't imagine dropping it easily. That being said my previous device was an M8 so............
I find the metal sides more apparent on the white =p
The white is worse.
Sent from the TermiNOTEr 4!
Eh, but it's like being the second man on the moon if there's a difference at all, the difference isn't big at all in terms of grip etc. Personally I didn't notice anything. But it clearly isn't slippery at all.
I've got a white one in a black case. The contrast between the black and white is nice. Before putting it in a case, I didn't notice it being slippery. But then this thing is so big, I was being very careful with it.
I was originally planning on getting black, but the Best Buy 200 dollar trade in expired on 11/1, and all they had in stock was white, so I ended up with white. I suppose that I could bring it back and trade it for black when black comes in, but I am getting used to the white one.
They're both beautiful devices. As I mentioned before the black does look a tad bit better though in my opinion. Plus I can imagine the white one getting dirty pretty quickly.

Surprisingly enough, the white one doesn't get dirty :good:
It is very interesting that a few people here find the white one more slippery than the black for some reason. I am looking forward checking this out by myself but I hear that the Note 4 will be out here in Iceland at the end of the week.
Regarding the scratches I would have thought that they might be more apparent on the black metal frame than the white one but that might not be the case either. I hear that the black one tend to surprise people for being more appealing in person because of the metal frame than expected. I am leaning a little towards the black one now.

both are gorgeous in person especially when naked, and it really just boils down to your own preference. the 2 colors are available from my carrier and white was just too beautiful in or outside a case. the black looks nice and is the best looking black Sammy phone i've seen, however, inside a case, it looked to me as similar to all other black, older phones.
P.s. the back of the white is not slippery at all, but despite having the same material as the black, i think this thread has influenced my brain to think the black cover is softer than the white's
I think they may have applied some sort of anti-dirt coating on the back cover of the white variant, which makes it more rigid than the black one.

Isn't everything in Iceland more slippery?! LOL

I tried both phones and they have same materials applied on the back cover!
EXCEPT the white note 4 is more stunning! and by the way, the white is not prone to dirts!
im so impressed!
This post may come off to you as silly, but still how come not a single reviewer would mention it or even a regular user? There is no such thing as a white nexus 6, that thing is GREY, light grey yes but no well in hell is the back cover of the nexus 6 white, even the cover of the " white nexus 9" is just grey, don't get me wrong I love how it looks, but I hate being lied to, what's up with your wrong branding of colors google? First the red nexus 5 , which is ORANGE and now the nexus 6 ? Sorry I had to let it all out
Sounds like someone needs to color calibrate their monitor?
Go to the paint section of your local hardware store, there are many shades of white. This device is well within that range
Yes, I believe the actual title is "cloud white". Not "white" so...
Color blind much??
I've had the Midnight Blue and now have the Cloud White. The color of the back is an off white and similar to 'eggshell' and its certainly not gray. I don't have my Nexus 9 anymore or I would post a side by side of the two white backs. I don't use the factory back anyway so it doesn't matter. The frame is silver and it goes well with my black leather back.

The difference b/t gray and white is on the gray scale and differentiating grays isn't affected by color blindness in humans.
Heck even people with achromatopsia can distinguish shades of grey from white.

I have a black one, a brown one and a football leather one. Another member was kind enough to link the OP above. The white Nexus is still white unless I'm blind. I recommend seeing one person if you can because it will clear things up instantly.
Edit: he linked the website to buy it from. I've posted the link to the OP below where you can see pictures of it. Keep in mind you have to remove the factory back to make it flush with the frame.

Exactly.
Since every sane person is going to put on a protective cover that will obscure the back of the phone.... who the heck really cares? Mine's gray/blue, but the ballistic maxx cover makes it BLACK.
Wait...what?

You have a black leather back? Like an actual leather replacement for the OEM back cover, or just a vinyl skin that looks like leather or some other kind of adhered leather product or what? I have been wanting a real leather or wood replacement for my OEM back. It's the only think that has kept me from ordering the middle chassis conversion kit from Ebay. I want the silver frame, but not too keen on the white back. I want real wood or leather like the Moto X.
I'm sorry but there is no white Nexus 6, there is a GREY nexus 6

Correct. Actual leather, however there is no plastic under it so you need to do a few small things for it to look right on the phone. I'll post a picture of my phone with the Black leather and one with the brown leather.
I aged my brown one for a better look
That brown looks so good. I would love to have that look but maintain the nexus logo and the dimple but not so worried about the moto logo.
When you say there is no plastic behind the leather, what have you done to protect the device from impacts and such to the back panel?

There is a subframe under the plastic back so the leather sits on top of that and its perfectly stable. Look st the OP I linked earlier for pictures of the install. There are quite a few people who have done this without any issues. I always have my phone in a case anyway but the back is just as durable as the factory one in my opinion.
What colors of Pixel 4 did you chose and why?
I went for black, as I hate warm colors like orange (the mint prototype was amazing1), and I would like to hide that horrible iPhonish camera. BUT I discovered that black is glossy and not matte...
For the first time in my life, I chose a White phone. Something about the black edges but the matte white back really stood out to me. Additionally, as you discovered, the black's glass is a glossy finish. Looks nice, but would show scratches and smudges when dust and whatnot inevitably gets in there. As for the Orange, I think it looks unique, kind of like what OnePlus did with the 6T McLaren Edition, but it wasn't for me. Just got my phone today and I love the way it looks.

I hard a hard time choosing between the black or white one. I ultimately chose the black one because I figured although the black is glossy, it's easier to get a matte skin and slap it on there. I'm the type to always be changing how my phone looks so I feel like one day I might be feeling a glossy phone, at which point had I gotten the matte white one it would be hard to find a glossy/glass like skin. I REALLY like the matte white contrast with the black frame but since I got the black one I can just get a matte white dbrand skin and this way it matches the white power button too. Not too much of a fan of the orange power button. In your case you could also slap on a matte black skin.
I went black because is one of my favourite colours.
But also because is symmetrical
I prefer glossy glass because of the grip. But I use a case so doesn't matter.

Got a clearly white one, I've always been an "all black" user but I love the contrast and the effect it makes on P4. Also that matte finish looks good.
Like it was said, a matte black skin could solve the fact that the black version is glossy. I got a dbrand for my Pixel 1 two years ago, never had a problem
I've always had black phones until I got the almost pink last time around. This time I got the orange one simply because when I pull the phone out of my pocket I want everyone to know I have the new Pixel 4 and crowd around me. Excuse me folks, ladies first.
Went for the orange one. I've had black phones the whole time and just wanted something different.
I preordered a matte black skin. It should look like a matte black phone, back it's quite flat...
Black, went with full body skin from clearcoat (mobile outfitters) available worldwide.

Really wanted the orange as it was the same shade force 10 use on their tents !!! My favourite brands of tent !!!
However ended up with the black due to the orange not being available in 128gb in the UK..

As the title says, White or black, which color to prefer?
Some say it leaves fingerprint marks in black color.
For me black. More stealthy and accentuates the glyph interface.
Ordered the black version on launch. Haven't received it yet
I just got the white version and I liked how it looks. As of the moment no fingerprint marks for the white as well. There's a built-in screen protector in front and also at the back.
White looks better in pictures, black (IMO) looks better in person.
Its a matter of personal preference both looks good with each have their own perks like glyph is more prominent on black while white shows more contrast on pieces inside transparent back.
Black looks so much better to me. I bought the 8GB/128GB version which apparently only comes in black anyway.

I've had two phones now and neither had protector on the back. Are you sure?
And it leaves fingerprints on both colors, white just does not show them. White is the way to go for me.
