I haven't seen a Tab in the flesh yet but I'm interested to know your views on the Tab colours, specifically the black and white models. Do either of them have drawbacks with regards to being easily marked, showing fingers prints, much or other?
Theaters no black model
Only colors are metallic grey and white
I personal got the white one and it looks fine

Maybe the black is just for the Euro versions?

White one has a clean surface on the back, the black (grey, dark, whatever) is structured. I prefer the structured back. It provides a little more grip and in my opinion it has a little higher quality feel to it than the white backcover. Fingerprints show much less on the grey model as it has no glossy finish.
But like it was said in the other "black or white" thread: If you spend much time looking at the color of your Galaxy Tab, you are using it wrong.
Oooops ... there another thread ....

Just bought my Galaxy Tab 10.1 from pc world in UK this morning & can confirm that it definately has a BLACK back.
Even better it is in a black rubberized soft touch material so holding it is a real pleasure. While I was there they had a white version on display which I was playing with & it felt a bit too plasticky & very slippery.

Hello all,
Really excited about the Xperia S, even though I'm still on the Arc S.
Just putting together a poll to see which one everyone thinks is better looking/planning on getting.
Not sure why this time, but I'm seriously considering the white Xperia S. Looks amazing. Never had a white phone before though but I'm really liking the anti stain coating.
I'm going for the white colour one cause it looks awesome with the black display and then the transparent element then there's the white stripe at the bottom with the xperia logo and the white colour stripe. that looks so awesome, you should go for the white colour.
Black just perfect

I've had a White HTC Hero for almost 2 years, so i'm going for a black phone now
seriously black just looks awesome on this phone
black for sure, as white looks girlish
I've always had black phones. My girlfriend have a Nexus S white and it's look very nice. Maybe this time i will try an Xperia s white.
All colors are good, as long as they are black
I think the white more attractive, but bother colors are good looking ))
P.S. XPS is already available for sale? Where?
I originally was after the white one as it looks better than the black imo, looks really nice. However after going to phones 4 u today and seeing both models9dummy models0 i notice that the white one actually attracts dirt alot not from me but from other people that were already looking at the dummy model and after seeing the videos about how the cover is dirt resistant i tried to rub it off only made matters worse actually the colur started turning to cream and on the edges of the phone i could clearly see that it looked worn out, so the white one is out of the question for me which is a shame as i was looking forward to getting that one. Black it will be though
At first i wanted the white one, but after i gave it some thoughts i preferred the black one as the contrast with the transparent bar is way better!
It's black for me.
just prefer it and love the way it looks.
That's the colour ive pre-ordered.
Looks-wise i definitely prefer the white one. But I fear that the white body will look worn out soon and lose all it's sexiness.

I was thinking about the white one, as I never had a white phone before, and my partner and I both ordered a Xperia S and didn't want to mix up the phones all the time :/.
But I went for black, because well...the black is rather nice, and it won't get noticeably dirty that easily.We just need to make sure to have seperate backgrounds or a hard case on one of the phones xD
For this phone in particular I found the black much nicer.
I have since I clapped eyes on this phone always been attracted to the white version. I have had many black phones over the years, so a white handset will be a welcome change.
After seeing the white dummy model in phones 4 u, it put me right off!
just seeing the dirt on it and whe you rub it the colour was changing.
I first thought I would get the white version, but after seeing some videos, the black version does look nice, in a 2001-monolith kind of way, and the transparent bar really shines in all this blackness.
Also it would color-match my old SE K800i
I just want a different White, more fashionable.
Oh，80% of my friends chose the white version . white looks sharp and shiny. but black outstanding more the transparent bar design.
Im buying a L920. I've always been set on the red model, but having watched several video reviews im now in doubt.
- Smudgeprints are extremely noticeable on red
- It has a really big "wow effect", its very noticeable with such a massive, bright red glossy back
- Its not gonna match live tiles if I change the colors
Because of this, im leaning towards White, but I have some questions about it.
- Does it get dirty easier? (ie. dirt gather in scratches)
- I read white phones tend to turn yellow if exposed to certain things such as cigarette smoke. Is this true?
- Is there overall something I should be aware of when getting a white phone?
Thanks in advance.

I had the White for a week then swapped out to a Red one. I didn't notice anything unusual like smudge prints etc, that stood out on the white. But, I'm an office worker so I'm not generally exposed to much dirt or grime.
Of the 2 colors, I'm not sure which I really prefer. The Red stands out, but so does the White. There are certain theme colors that do not go well with either color...so it boils down to your personal preference.
Though liking both the White and Red, I have not regretted switching to the Red

Im gonna be using full body protection on the phone, including on metal+lens on the back from the Martin Fields protector. Im not exposed to dirt either (being home going till march...), but its still something I'd like to know, as I've never had a white phone.
Imo red stands out more than white. White is a fairly common color among phones (one reason I dont prefer the color), however the bright red is not. Im just imagening holding it to my ear and all ppl see is the bright back, heh. White just seems so...smooth, despite being common.
Bump for more interest.
Well I can't say anything about White vs. Red but I had a Cyan for two weeks and then I got RED .... I personally liking RED a lot more.

I would get the Red colour. My mum got a White 920 and I really don't like it. I also seen the Yellow version which I thought I would hate, but it actually looked pretty cool in person.
I have a black one which I would say is the best color to choose, either that or the matte grey model.
Between red and white, go red IMO.
I got the yellow one, and I love it - though most people don't (who cares - I love it).
Before that, I had the white Galaxy S2. Looks pretty fine after about a year of usage, besides the scratches it got from the one and only time I dropped it.
I wouldn't hesitate to go for white in means of dirt stains or so. As long as you're not a smoker it should keep it's color for some time.
I am coming from a white HTC One X and I decided to go with a red 920.
When the Lumia 900 came out, I fell in love with the white one. When the HTC One X came out, to me it was like a slightly more rounded "Android" version of the Lumia so I had to have the white one. I really like the color and the contrast of white and black. The only issue I had with the color I had was due to the invisishield protection I had on it. My jeans would stain the shield blue-ish so the phone was never a true white. I read that a naked One X will do the same thing, but that you can clean it off with alcohol. However, if you have a naked Lumia, I doubt that will happen because of the glossy finish.
The reason why I ended up with a red 920 is not because of that, however. I went to the store to check all the colors out and red really stood out to me more so than the other options.
So if you really like the red, get the red but if you really like the white, get the white. But be aware that invisishield-type protection on that phone might be really noticeable once it gets dirty because of the white. I believe the naked phone will actually look cleaner.
I have a white and a black. White stays white - no smudging. However, I will say that the colored ones have more 'grip' that the black - which is very slick.
To my first test drive with a red one then ended up getting a white one for the wife & I. Just came down to personal preference, the one thing I new was I didn't want another black phone
So i'm debating between white and grey; in the store I tend to prefer the white due to contrast the white border makes with the display (on the surface it seems to make the display stand out) but i prefer the grey because it makes the buttons (at bottom) more visible and seems more stealthy. I'm curious if folks who purchased the grey one end up wishing for the white and conversely those who purchased the white if you end up wishing for the grey and why ?
(only other thing I could think that might be material is if the white creates more flare for the camera)
my mind had been made up for months that I was going to get the White...once I spent real time in the store and really thought about it, Grey won out. I don't regret it at all. it's just more my style in the end...more understated.
Got the white since I thought the gray just didn't look right on the phone so no I do not wish I had gotten the gray over the white and also I haven't noticed any problems with the camera.
I got the white and now I'm wishing I got the grey instead. The white just feels a little too girly for me. Plus, the grey would have gone well with the color of the new car.
I really wanted the white one and when I finally went to get my phone at the Verizon store they only had grey left. Me being too impatient got it anyway and very happy I did lol.

Same thing for me, only all they had was white. So white it is!(really wanted grey, but I too am an impatient sort)
I had a white s3. I wanted a white phone,but it got old really quickly. I have the gray n2, and must say, looks much nicer and more stylish than the white. Just my opinion though.

I got the grey. Im colorblind anyways so it wouldnt matter if the phone was lime green.

So no one else thinks the white makes the screen easier to read (higher contrast) ?

I originally wanted white, but I'm glad I went with gray. Even though it's Samsung's famous shoddy plastic it gives a not-so-cheap looking, brushed metal appearance, where as white plastic looks like... white plastic. Plus with the Glacier flavor Otterbox, it contrasts well.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
I'm digging the white. I dont like the grey because the faux metal look makes it feel like a cheap immitation of something which is out of place on this bamf. Color is a minor point though since I jave a case that covers 90% of the samsung plastic. Verizon home button bothers me less in white.

Sounds like most people are happy with whatever colour they pick and don't wish for the other colour after the fact. Btw if I buy one i would use it without a case; can't stand cases.
Please Witch One choose? White or Black?
Some said White is better quality than the black?
Help?
I have the black one and I love it!
It actually isn't completely black, it's more a very dark blue - grey.
I wouldn't take the white one because it could get dirty and ugly.
Love my white one, couldn't be happier with it!
I wanted the black one and love it!
Once you go black you never go back. I still got white though.

So does this mean you've never gone black? or do you really like to contradict yourself?
I got white just because it looks better and I already have a black Nexus 5.
I was being silly is all. Have both, keeping white, less fingerprints.
From all the hands on videos and reviews ive seen, it seems that those that have handled both white and black always prefer the white.
A bit surprising since many people preferred the black Nexus 5 over the white one because of the nicer feeling texture. Once I get my white one tomorrow, I'll be comparing it against my black Nexus 5.
Very happy with my white N9! It feels great, is NOT a fingerprint magnet.
The black one does attrack fingerprints.
The white one is a little bit off-white and looks very nice.
Want white or sand, but only black is available in hk play store...
Just got my hands on the white one. It feels very nice. Better than the White Nexus 5.
It's got a very smooth-matte finish. Sort of like a smooth chicken egg, but finer textured. Just don't expect the rubbery-soft touch of the black one.
I would choose a white one, but the problem is the white color is easy to get dirty.
It's more gray than white if anything. I kind of like that.
I have been getting asked constantly which colour is the best for the Huawei P30 Pro and P30, So I thought I would start this thread to help everyone and since I have had hands on with all of the colours I can advice everyone accordingly. Here is a link to my video showing them in the flesh https://youtu.be/S5UvQGCE4Bg
But please please do read this post as it should answer any questions you may have. Feel free to ask me anything and to let me know which is your favourite colour.
There are 5 colours available, Pearl White, Breathing Crystal, Amber Sunrise, Aurora and Black. Note that the Pearl white version is not available in the UK and Only the Sunrise Amber comes with 512gb storage.
Lets start off with the Amber Sunrise, this is my favourite colour personally as it is a different shade I haven’t seen on any other handset, The glass back is a rich Orange colour which reminds me of candy metallic cars you see in the states. The Metal frame is in a very reflective almost orange chrome finish which looks beautiful and something I haven’t seen before personally.
Next we have the Aurora blue, this shade is a gradient finish which starts off with a greenish tint above and then turns to a more darker blue towards the bottom of the phone. It has a almost wave like effect similar to the Aurora lights seen in certain parts of the world. The metal frame is a shiny light blue almost green colour way which suits the back perfectly.
Time for the traditional black which looks like liquid, it almost looks like chrome at certain angles, the finish is extremely glossy and reflective and seems to be pouring off the sides of the P30 Pro. The metal frame is similar to space grey in colour and is finished in matte for anyone who Doesn’t like the reflective look of the other coloured frames. Stunning in my opinion.
The last colour I had a chance to get hands on with is Breathing Crystal. This is again glossy and reflective and the colour gradient shifts from a pearlescent white at the top to a more blueish tinge at the bottom and looks really clean and fresh. The metal frame on this one is a shiny silver colour which is perfected suited to the back. Unfortunately, The Pearl White variant was not available to me when Filming this video but I have been told it is virtually white in colour with pink hues.
So there you have it, the choice is now yours, which colour version do you like the best? Let me know in the comments below
Very good colours on display and better (White) than s10+
I'm getting black... easy to put in a case without thinking twice about going case-less or clear case... I go the Huawei Silicon Case to match....

Three UK tell me the amber sunrise is delayed with no delivery dates... So I can't upgrade to the 512mb until after the Sonos deal is over! Terrible.... The P20Pro free headphone deal was a nightmare last time, and now they **** this one up!

Currys and CPW have also delayed the Amber Sunrise.
My choice was aurora. The greenish frame won me. I really liked the breathing crystal variant but that frame made me fall for the aurora one. I can only expect the amber sunrise to be extremely nice
