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.
Hey,
I am going to pre-order the HTC One soon. I really want to pre-order it as fast as possible but I'm still not sure which color to get.
Which color would you guys get? I think the black one is pretty cool but silver makes it look more special and sets it apart from other phones.
I also heard that the black one shows fingerprints more easy, but the on the silver one you'll notice the edge to edge black zone is much more apparent on the silver version.
What do you guys think?

I've been considering the HTC One M8 for my next purchase and I was targeting the Gunmetal grey version (it really looks awesome), BUT from what I've been reading, besides being a little slippery in the hand, it is very scratch prone. (some remote topics here on XDA, some remote topics in android central's forum, etc.)
Seeing on how a lot of us wouldn't want to hide such a great phone behind a cover, let's talk here about how easy or hard it is to scratch the phone and how it looks after some wear-and-tear and, maybe, how it all depends on the color of the phone ...
Last year, the silver M7 stood really well in this department, with scratches being less easier to spot than the colored versions. How is it now on the M8 Gunmetal grey or Gold compared to the Silver model?
Anybody got scratches? How easily did the phone scratch?
Maybe some of the users could contribute with pictures and stories, eventually giving info for those of us who are still undecided on which color to get :good: ...

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?

I think the plastic edges might 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.

Hi
Beside obvious color and RAM/storage differences, I'm trying to find out if there is a "feel" difference between slate grey, midnight black and light gold variants?
What I mean is:
- is one more "matte" or shiny than the others
- is one more slippery than the others
- is the finish layer more durable on any color
- etc.
I tried googleing for the answer, watching some youtube unboxing videos.... but couldn't find the answer.
Thanks
All the same
I think you can give them all in the hand of a blind man and for sure he will say "there's no difference here"
