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 common and sort of feminine, but exemplifies freshness)?
I have a white S3, my brother has the dark blue one.
In all honesty... the white looks really sh*t compared to the blue one, I wouldn't even consider it.
You're the only one who can make the choice. If your worried about which one will make you more masculine, then that issue needs addressing first
I have a blue one and i love it...
But the white one is nice as well!
But if i were you,i'd go get a black one...
This was a really common question all a lot of iPhone 4s forums. The feminiity of a phone colour suits that crowd but not with the S3, both colours look good & neither are gender specific. If you are going to use a case, the darker colour will always be easier to find a suitable one for.
Go to a store & compare next to each other, otherwise flip a coin!!
Well unless you go for pink I can't really see an issue in presenting your "masculinity" by choosing white over blue. I have a white one and I like it, as the blue one didn't really appeal to me when only 2 color options were available. If you have a Black option definitely go for it.

Hi all,
I'm still trying to decide which colour to get. I have never had a White phone before, and think the white looks good. But I have heard that White can get dirty easier and screen would also look less vibrant.
So...what do you guys think? Which colour will you get if you can be bothered to wait for the white.
I had a white Blackberry for a bit, I liked it for a month then the colour start to bother me for some unknow reason, maybe because it doesn't match with my other gears.
Go for white if you want your Note to stand out and maybe have a slightly better resell value. But you can't go wrong with black, it's a classic colour.
I haven't seen either one in the flesh, but I quite fancy the look of the white one on the web. However, price and supply have dictated that I get the black one. No big deal either way for me.
If it helps, Apple seem to have plenty of white versions of their products - iPad, old Macbook, iPhone, iPod and lots of accessories and I've not seen anyone grumble that it started to look dirty.
If I could stand the wait I would probably get the white. It looks pretty amazing when I see it in a video online. I have seen a white S2 in person and they look beautiful.
My order is in for the black, can always order both and sell the black when the white comes in
Black looks better imho. Now where is my shipping notification...
let me vote for a white one ^_^
I bought a white iPad 2. I had to return it, it was honestly distracting doing anything but reading a bright white webpage. I don't think i'll get another white device again.
Ask any one involved in the clothing trade and they'll tell you white makes you look bigger. The Note already looks big enough.
The cover for a white Note would also need to be white in order to match and it would soon look dirty, especially if it was made of leather. So for that reason alone I would prefer black.
Black is better for images and movies, white would stand out too much, with everything black it will blend in.
It's like having a white tv, wtf who would want a white tv? My vote goes for black!
I'm aiming to get black
I got a white Ipad as a birthday prezzie
(still sulking over the colour)
on the ipad white any, dust/fluff seems to be very noticeable

I would sulk at the fact it's an ipad, not that it's white in colour!!
Their too big and overpriced for what they are, they're more suited for movies/gaming/entertainment than a phone or business use...
Are you a woman? If not, get a black. Like a real man.
White note male owners need not reply and defend. We accept you just the way you are...

Got my Note in white and I love the way it looks. It doesn't get dirty, no more so than my black Galaxy S2 did. Everyone that's seen it falls in love with the way it looks.
hi...
in an italian forum.... a member say that the white version have more light... it is more luminous.
he compared the note ....with others BLACK possessors..... and ALL TIMES he noticed the white version is more luminous.
can you check if your WHITE note is better than a black note?
i am really interested to know if it is true....... if samsung changed the panel in the white version.. or not.

Ive seen someone post a pic of 2 black note's screens, one was blue ish the others screen was white, its depends on youre luck pretty much I think, what the screen turs out to be like...
look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1335161
My guess it is software related... otherwise I am sure 99% will be very pissed of..since most people have the black version...
I've got a white one and the display is very bright and has no green tint. Very happy with it so far but I don't have a black one to compare it to.
I did order the black one from amazon.de yesterday, it will arrive this week, so I would really like to get to know if there is a REAL hardware differences between the modeles... I bet my ass it is software related..there is so many power saving options etc.. which make the screen less bright... to save battery...
For spending this amount of money it is NOT OK that the white version would be better hardwarewise it would make me seriously pissed of..but as I said before I highly doubt it...
the possibility of white galaxy notes having better screens is starting to piss me off. can anyone confirm this?

It's highly unlikely. The panels all come off the same assembly line; the cost to set up to make a certain panel is so high it would be insane not to use just one to supply all of the Note panels. No need to stress yourself out over some random internet speculation.
yes, I agree it seem very unlikely...and would be very disrespectful for the samsung customers... who do not know what they buy.... it would be like you are buying a "pirate copy" of the original if the white would be better..I would feel like that...so I hope it is only placebo and illusions otherwise I feel very fooled.. and angry and pissed off.

I doubt they would have different panels and only put certain ones in white ntes, and separate out others to only put in black ones. That would be costly to do, and there would be no reason to do it.
The only way I could see why there would be any difference is if they updated the screen driver in the white ones because they are newer, or if the newer batch of screens just come out better. In any case that means the black ones should get better as well if there is in fact any difference.

this is a baseless assumption. its common sense because of the white frame which makes the display seem more luminous.

That could be partially right since black absorbs light and white reflects. Just another reason white Note > black
@Joker
that doesn't make the screen more luminous, it makes the device more luminous. as in the bezel and all that literally.
and i wasn't thinking they'd use deliberately different screens. maybe better batches, is what i meant.

+1, you sir are 100% correct. It's like saying the black note has better blacks since it's black and on the other hand the white Note has better whites since it's white...
The white Note only appears better since the frame is white, hence making it seem better.
As you clearly mentioned it only APPEARS more luminous.
I agree with many others that if you were to compare a black Note to a white one you would not see any difference...
Glad I got the black one though as people would probably mistake the white one for being a new Apple/Ipad which would offend me.
Also for movies & pictures the black note would be the better choice...
100% RIGHT
I have the white and the black note, the screen of the white note is better than the black one,
I have the same version on both, and i noticed that the white note is more bright than the black one, so i decided to keep the white one.
the white one was made by Samsung, and the black one says made in Korea by Samsung.
i got the white from hong kong and the black from clove uk .

I accept that based on your experience you found there to be a significant enough of a difference between the two panels to make a subjective choice. However, Until i see pictures of direct comparisons between the two devices, i will have to reserve my judgement.

Yeah the white one for some reason doesn't say "Made in ____" rather just a cryptic "Made by Samsung". The panel on this thing is fantastic.

One data point means nothing.
There is always variation between panels, especially AMOLED. Some other guy might get a black one and a white one and have the opposite experience you did. Until/unless we get a large quantity of such reports, common sense should be used.
The panels on the new WHITE galaxy s2 have been tested with calibration hardware and come out MUCH better that the BLACK one, for brightness AND color accuracy.
The site that tested them is eager to test some NEW black s2 to see if it is a new batch of screens or if it is just the white s2 that gets the better panels...
Maybe it's the same with the Note ?
That would suck.
EDIT: that same site just tested the Note and say that the screen kicks ass so if you get a ****ty screen just send it back. By the way, they tested the black Note...

It really does! I loved the screen on my GSII, but the Note's is better, and not just resolution. It's brighter and has more contrast. I have a couple dark wallpapers to help save battery (in theory) and one of them is this neat black/dark grey paisley, and you couldn't really make it out in the GSII, but it looks awesome on the Note.
@Latoc: Link please?
well this of course would be very depressing news...if this turns out to be true..it would also be interesting to know if the there is individual differences between the black models also.. When it comes to this I think I prefer Apple you atleast KNOW what the hell you are getting when you buy the phone, cause apple is more careful about their trademark and to keep the quality high. Samsung does not seem to care as much... they consider us customers stupid, "they will most likely not notice anything" then all the reviewers get the best versions etc...
Well I am happy with my note but I would really like to compare side by side with my own eyes with the white version...
I am always using the brightness on 100% but I think most of people will have it on auto... so I guess it is more important for some then others... but especially when watching media/pictures/video the brightness is important..
I'm just gonna go on launch day and get my Note 3 with Verizon since I will be switching to them from Cspire, but I want to know which one will make the color pop more? I really wanted white just to be different, but will the white front effect how much colors seem pop? I thought I read somewhere that black really brings out the colors. I just want people to see the screen with a nice case and be like "Wow"!
Black.
White/silver etc extend the canvas and focus the eyes elsewhere. Black if you want people to be wowed by brightness and color anything else is just aesthetic.
Hey guys, I am struggling to decide on which color to import. I have traditionally always had black phones, but the white body in screenshots at least looks really good.
Are there any advantages/disadvantages to going white vs. black with the Z3c?
I've always had black phones too. I bought a used white moto x a couple months back. I love it more and more every day. I definitely getting the white z3c. The black one just looks boring.
I went for the white one. Have had several black phones and wanted a change. Would have done the red / orange model but the black bezel looks tacky to me.
I did white too. Should shoe fewer fingerprints than black.

I went for Black - looks more professional. I like keeping my phones in cases anyway though
I went for black, never had a white phone, although I do have a niggling feeling perhaps I should have tried white, it does look good.
I ordered the white one. I changed it to the red one awhile later. I saw a video of the black one and it looks really classy to me so I changed my order to black :laugh:
I originally wanted the mandarin red, then saw some videos of the mint green and thought that would be really cool, but unfortunately, the green won't be available unlocked for some time yet. After hearing more testimonials about the red and how brilliant it was, I'm convinced it's the right choice. Basically, I wanted anything other than black and white because as safe, classy, and sleek as those choices are, I find them to be rather bland. If I had to choose though, I'd go with white, only because most of my devices have always been black and I wanted something different.
I had a Z1c in black for quite sometimes and bought my brother the Z1c in white and gotta say the white does looks really good. But currently can not really say much about the z3c as it is not available yet in Australia. The best way would have to go and look for yourself which one would suit your taste better. But i would say the white looks good on picture. The only that might be a concern that is the seal around the screen is white as well, just do not know would it be stain over time

TBH I don't get your question at all, since it's purely opinion based.
If there would be a technical difference based on the color, most people would get the color that had the technical upper hand.
You don't ask your friends either if you should have a blonde/brunette girlfriend/boyfriend, since it's all just based on taste.:angel:
You are absolutely right but you have to understand that we are all really excited about this phone and we just discuss all kinds of bul**** about it until the delivery agent rings the doorbell and leaves the white box in our hands...

confused i am using the hox white, and looks really cool. Perhaps i might try the black this time, It will also match with my sony xb90ex earphones
I prefer black because I don't like how the sensor cutout, speaker, and camera lens standout on white.
If I could get black front and white back like my Dev moto x, that would be awesome. I guess I can still do that with a white skin for the back.

Not necessarily. White will show less fingerprints, but might discolor over time. There are a few objective traits each color exhibit, and since I feel torn between the two aesthetically, I wanted to discuss some objective reasons one color might benefit over the other.

it won`t.
At least it didn`t on my white Z.
I think another disadvantage of a white one would be the white front panel making the display appear darker, I think in sunny weather the white could actually "blind" you a little, making the screen a tad more difficult to read.
I've occasionally had overheating problems with sunlight coming in through a car window. White might be helpful.

I thought this thread may be helpful now that there are actually two available colors out there in the wild.
I was able to test drive out the Black Moon version for awhile and found it beautiful.
An INCREDIBLE fingerprint magnet, but very slick.
All of the tear down & torture videos show that the black finish can shed/scrape off leaving silver blemishes. This has me thinking about Pure White.
For the record, the last white phone I had was the iPhone 3GS. It was pretty good at keeping those pesky fingerprint smudges at bay, especially compared to the black 3GS, but nothing perfect.
To be honest, for me at least, I feel that most White phones come off as cheap or just not done right. I guess the best white phone since was the Galaxy S6 Pearl White. Although, I would rather use any other phone to get away from Samsung and Touchwiz or whatever they call it now. (Lipstick on a pig)
Here's the rub. When compared to the market patterns for my taste, Essential seems to have pulled white off in a way that looks business classy.
I honestly actually leaning towards white. I have yet to be able to hold or see it in person and know some of you have.
What could you share with anyone in this position.?
I know I cant be alone as a person that only buys black phones because other variants are just too tacky.
There are even some of you out there that have had both! True hardcore Essential fans.
Please share impressions with us after using it for awhile compared to Black Moon.
(Oceans Depth)
Let me address this before it comes up.
I just can't do gold. It's just has never been my thing.
I applaud Essential for taking color seriously with Oceans Depth, but they just had to trim it in gold. (Rats!!!) For those of you like my son that love gold, it absolutely a knockout of a device color and one of a kind.
I have the white one and looks good in my opinion. Keeps the fingerprint at bay and I am sure it will hide all the scratches as well since it is not that reflective like the black color. The only issues i have seen so far is what I ave listed in another thread -> https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74442626&postcount=3
