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

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
I wish Google would have launched it with the white version as an option! I guess my white carbon fiber dbrand skins on the front an back will have to do for me. If the display of the white version was also white, then I'd probably sell mine and buy it in white. Anyone else like the new white version?

Wow
it's beatiful
but anyway i wouldnt sell mine for that one (i mean, i preffer white, but hell it's not a big difference) and lot of users use covers
Just the backplate is white. The bezel is still black. I recently popped off my N7 cover and there are lots of built in antennas and connectors. Don't know if 3rd party manufacturers could make replacements. Probably.

I'm not shook up. I love the 2001 monolith look. In fact, if it ever fails, you could say it will be Ku-bricked...
I'll show myself the door, thanks.
Never understood that decision. If you make a white device, make it all white; not just the back.
You put a cover/case on it, and it makes no difference.

My thoughts exactly.
Yea, just buy a white feather case and BAM
Coming from AMOLED screens, I do find the white bezel contrast helps make the LCD "blacks" look darker. That is one of the annoying things about coming from an AMOLED where you can't tell where the screen starts/stops to an LCD where you can distinctively see the LCD panel compared to a black black panel border.
I've never owned a white device. I wanted a white G2, but Verizon only sold it in black... well now there is a white one. My N7... now there is a white one. I dunno. There are companies who make the Glass style screen protectors that actually have painted undercoats that can change the color and appearance of the front bezels. I'm waiting for a white review unit for my G2.

Style options create inventory management and supply chain complexity. The more parts in common between styles, the lower the level of complexity.

Agreed. I personally think the white nexus devices are ugly.

EXACTLY!! Not sure why some manufacturers understand that concept, and some don't. I realize that it keeps the production costs down, as they don't have to remanufactuer the front half. I for one wouldn't mind paying a little more for an ALL white version though!

ya wished it came in white at launch date 2013 in july, would have gotten it, esp white LTE 32gb version
I prefer black
My S4 was white. Definitely going for the black one this time. What color are you planning to get?
BLACK definitely, the white fake leather not sweet
Definitely went for the black.
I like the white face. I can always change the back or put on a case.
Just saw the white in person and its gorgeous

White looks great in this instance
when is the gold color coming out? any idea guys?
All my electronics are black. So black it is. Well the Note 2 was silver but you get the point.
Even though the white looks very nice (just got a hands on @ the Best Buy across the street), I like the black look of my Note 3, which is why I opted for the black one
Black one here. The White looks really good, but will only last a few months at the most before it starts to look dirty even after cleaning it.

Yes, I ordered a black one. I was just saying that white looks good but shows dirt way to quickly.

Anyone who saw one, like I did today, think that the sides are going to get banged up pretty easily?

Mine is always cased, my Note 3 is black, so I went with white this time.
ya gonna be black for me too, if the metal bands for a silver-ish color then white

Looks like you can get the unlocked gold version already. Release 10/17 as well. I'll still stick with Black

$900 for a phone without LTE? Wow that's insane.
Preordered the black. I'm not a fan of white faced phones, the bezels stand out way too much. Look at the iPhone 6 plus, it's the most god awful gaudy looking phone with the white front/bezels. On the other hand I'm impressed with the white Note 4 and would consider the white, it's very well done and the bezels don't stand out too badly.
Although I have a poll for this thread, I'm sure it could never capture all the various things everyone will do. But how do you plan to order your Moto X Style/Pure?
I'm so happy about this one, I'm going the whole 9 yards:
SD Card Slot
64GB
Black Leather back
Some custom text on the back.
Who knows, if they offer more, I may get that too .
Edit: Sorry for including the MicroSD as a poll option. I didn't realize it was part of the stock spec at the time.
I didn't understand the SD card was an add on.

I wish moto did a velvet back texture... but then I realise that I'd just be buying a case to protect my prized possession anyway!
Probably get the violet/purple back plate, gold accent. Get my name or something written on the back too.

I know it's been advertised as an optional microSD card slot, but I understand that to mean you can add your own memory. The card slot is with the sim slot from what I've seen.

My intention is for the phone to be all black.
Also not sure if I will get Leather or the Silcon type of backing. I think I need to feel both before I buy, as I hate the feeling of silicon cases so wonderig if it will be same ... but surely it cant be because the Silicon cases feel tacky and cheap.

I will be getting Red leather, Black front, Silver black trim, not sure on the side/surround trip. Likely Black or Silver.

With a Black front panel you can only get the Dark Grey frame.
White front panel you have the option of Chamapange Gold or Silver.

If MKBHD has it, it must be a winner :good: .
Not my preference, but always props to MKB .
I'm starting to think I won't get any text on the back. That may not go over well in certain business and formal settings.
So I'll get the black leather, with probably silver accents. The front will also be black.
I don'tthink there is 64gb

US will have the 16GB/32GB/64GB options and the UK will only have 32GB/64GB options.

Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk
Black front, grey frame, red accents, charcoal ash wood back and 16gb model.
Not too sure about all the options but looking at a black front, dark gray sides, dark wood on the back...I think it's Ash wood?? No idea yet on any accents and as for engraving...welllllll, I tend to sell my phones so I doubt that anyone will want someone else's name engraved on their newly purchased used phone!

Charcoal Ash.
Yeah I was thinking this exact set up ... however not sure if I'd like the feel of the wood, this is my only issue at the minute that we cant see the options in person. Not sure where I would be able to in the UK once its released.

A Reddit post with all the color options for all parts of the device.
I was thinking the same, but I am worried about the grip, considering how big it is. Now thinking regular black back with blue metal accent. I love the charcoal ash and walnut backs, but not sure how practical they are for the long term.
While I'd prefer the bamboo or walnut backs, I think I'm going with Ebony. Engraving appears to stand out better on that back. So yes on the engraving and I'm hoping to grab the 64GB.
I hope they come out with a keyboard accessory like the note 5! :/
I've never owned a white phone before. Are those of you who ordered a white one happy with it? I've been on the fence about ordering this phone until i heard more about the battery life. I think it is going to be sufficient for my use. Amazon has the white 32gb versions availabe so i dont have to wait for a black one.
Thanks for the feedback.

I was on the fence. I originally went with white, then read about the all black front glass look. Boy were they right, it looks sick! Don't regret it one bit!

I was planning to get white but looking at all those sensors i'll go with black version.
Also originally planned on the white one, but all those sensors made the black front more appealing.
Thanks for the input. I will check the images out a little closer.

You nailed it about the sensors. They stand out on the white. Thanks for the heads up.

I was watching this review using a white one, that is about 24 minutes long. I didn't mind the sensors at all. I thought about that, but it's not such a big deal to me. And you can only get champaign trim with the white front. I did get a black leather back though, just because I didn't want the back looking discolored over time.

All my phones have been white lately. I get them used so little choice in color. If buying new, I'd go for a darker color (black/dk blue, etc). Same for the back. Hides the dirt/wear better.

I saw that one. I have to make up my mind if i want it fast through Amazon or want to wait. We are going on a cruise in October so I would like to have it by then. BTW, I will be down uhh your way on Tuesday to meet with a new customer of mine. I live up in Morristown. Thanks for your comments.
Edit: i put a thin case on my phones anyway then usually hand them down to my wife or son.
