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

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.

If I wouldn't have a lovely, yet black, SGS2 that I surely do not want to part with, already, I'd buy a white one!

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.

LG G Pad 8.3 Black or White Poll

Alright, I delete that other post, make this one into POLL.
So, do you prefer black or white device?
I heard the Black one has one advantage, the black border around the screen, which can totally ignore, but the one white, you still can see black border.

You honestly won't notice the black border unless you're trying to find it, lol. I never noticed it until you guys pointed it out. White looks great. I have a white Note 3, which is why I decided to get the white version. Another reason is due to fingerprints I read about. The black apparently is known to be a fingerprint magnet.

Agree the border is no issue at all did either noticed it before someone here mentioned it and I really looked for it. I picked the white because it released first, but think I would have picked either way, I like the color.

Wysłano z Lg G_Pad v500

I brought a black one. Can't stand the black boarder between edge of the screen and the bezel on the white version.

White, I'm hoping to reach my country (Chile)

i got my White Modell, but not fully aware.
On Full Screen Videos, example in Youtube remain black borders at the top and bottom of the screen.
That does not fit in contrast to the white model (black bars).
It would be nice if you could hide the edges of the frame, but that will probably not go, because of the resolution (16:10) of the display?!

I had a white HTC one x and couldn't keep the dirt off for the life of me. I must stick to black lol

I have the black one, it was the one Asda had on offer BUT I prefer it to the white one
I have a white S3, next phone will be black

This is the first device that I actually prefer in white. Although honestly, they both look great.
I have a black G2 though, I need my phone to match my car's interior.

White.. because i dont want to see my fingerprints on the back all time..

Black model
I had the white model but then exchanged it for the black model. The features of the OS go much better with the black. Once there is a ROM for pure Android I think it will go much better with black than white.

White no doubt like the LG G2 its shorter brother it looks better in this colour'

I prefer Black, but you can only get the White model here in Australia so that's what I have!

White vs. Black

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.

The white is covered in glass on both sides so why would it discolor?

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.

[Q] Black or White for a dude?

I've never had a white phone. Should I stick with a black phone or get the white? Is a white phone girly?
Added a poll.

No, a white phone is not girly. I had a white Note 2 and it was awesome except when it was getting dirty. I still don't know too which color to get, but I'm leaning towards black. They both look awesome IMHO.

White is right

For me it comes down to fingerprints. My last couple of phone have been white and white is what I've pre-ordered.

Last year I bought two Galaxy S4's. The white for my wife and the dark blue to me. I had both near me most of the time and was able to compare anytime... It happened that I liked the white so much more than the "black" and now everytime I have the chance I'll get the white one. ?
But.. Obviously it's a personal taste. There's no better or worse. And I agree with the above post, there's nothing of "girly" on a white phone.
Edit: it's stupid I know but two or three times I dropped my s4 on the floor because it was over my laptop keyboard or over the closed lid and when reaching out my laptop on a dark room I didn't saw/remember it was there. That's another really really personal reason I'd go with the white. ?

I have a white s3 and like it but went with black this time around because I like how the screen looks like it's edge to edge when it's off

lol. both black and white are neutral colors, both man and woman can get those color and fit with it. the only girly color for note 4 is blossom pink.. i guess

White all the way.

For some reason I think the gold is girly. My last two phones were white. Going back to black to make a change.

My Note3 is black. My Note4 will be white.

I think the white is clean looking specially with the new UI that has a flatter look and it kind of compliments it with the white one

Gold for me. I like my LG G3 which is gold.

I'm feeling white. I normally go for the darker colors.. but now white just seems to work.

I only had white phones and they look great but when you buy a white cover it'll will always goes dirty right know i use lg g3 white but my circle cover got from white is more red now couse of my pants

Every time I buy a new phone or tablet the colour is probably the hardest decision to make!
I had a white Galaxy S3, Note 2 and Galaxy Camera and I liked them a lot, but decided on a change to black for the Note 3. It was then I realised that black is better for screen contrast especially when watching videos. I've never had a fingerprint issue and I feel it just looks more premium.
So my answer is: White is not a girly colour, the pink obviously feminine and possibly even the gold in my opinion. The black Note 4 looks more premium and that's the colour I have ordered!

This! It goes so well with the Samsung TW this time and in general i really like Note 4 much more in the white color.
I got black Note 3 when it was released and i wasn't crazy about it, but imo Note 4 looks so much better in white.
I also have white Tab S 8.4 so they will go great together. And no i don't think that white is girly. Pink is for the girls.

I have a white note 2. I am glad I chose white and did again on the note 4. My wife has a black note 2 and the black just seems to show any scratch or dirt more prominently. It's kind of like a car. A white actually shows less dirt than a black. They are both nice colors though so it is just personal preference.

You have a point. Makes me think twice in getting the white one. Currently have the grey note 2

I ordered white, usually have mostly black phones as well. But my note 2 was white, note 3 was black so now going back to white. I feel like the phone pops out more which is great for such a powerful little beast.

White. It was on my 2 and 3 so will be on my 4.

James Bond used a white phone, I think you can get away with it.

I went black this time. This huge phone will get enough attention as it is. My s3 is white. I am not a huge fan of the contrast between a black screen and the white bezel.

anyone got the black version?

Wanted to know how you liked it? I have the white one but I've had like 4 white phones in a row and was thinking of trading for a black. I'll be putting a skin on it so not worried about fingerprints. Let me know how you like it otherwise compared to white.

Went from an old white Z1 compact to a black X compact myself. Not much to say about it though lol. It's black and looks good. The only issue is that it's a fingerprint magnet. But if your putting a clear or colored skin on it that pretty much solves the problem. Only other thing I can think of to say is it's kind of an off black. Basically at times in the light it can look like an extremely dark navy blue at times which is kinda cool.

Have the black. In direct sunlight it looks more dark blue but in household lighting it looks black. Pretty slick looking. I really wish they would have made a yellow like the Z5C. I kinda felt like owning an ostentatious phone this time.

I have tried both and I can say that white version is a lot nicer in my opinion
you wont see any fingerprint or scratch easily and also the nicely curved back looks elegant on white and blue versions...
