Anybody with a white Z2 noticed that the white plastic edges around the seems are no longer white or less white compared to the time it was brand new out of the box?
Personally the seems on my Z2 look a little grayish. :/
Is there any plastic?? I thought it is a painted aluminium...

The seems(edges) are colored plastic. :/ Those are losing color. Aluminium is in the middle.
Although I don't think it is plastic, in black version it is clearly painted aluminum...which will rub away in time I suppose. But - let the owners of white items speak.

It's an aluminium frame with plastic injection, so they have the metal surround and a metal chassis and then to hold it all together, they use an injection mould for the rest of it.
Anybody going to actually answer the OP question?
I'm using a white Z2 and totally notice a colour change. I suspect it's due to general use and the fact that I mostly wear denim jeans.
Such are the woes of a white coloured device.

Seems to be from the general use here, washed it twice too. I do not see any colors residue on it, although I wear denims too but it might be issue with only some brands of jeans?
P.S. You can see here, that's the color my Z2 has now. :/

Note that I'm not talking of the staining issue, I don't have that. I'm talking about the color of the plastic wearing off. You can see it in the above video that the white Z2 has grayish edges and it has been used a little.
These have pure white edges(as it comes out of the box) :

Are you going to replace a new one？
It is out of warranty.
My white Z2 doesn't lose colour. It is white like in the first day of use and I have it for 1 week. I first was scared about this, but no. It doesn't lose the colour. I also use blue jeans. Maybe after some longer time it will lose colour.

Mine doesnt lose color, but it began staining after few weeks in blue jeans, luckily a bath did the trick, good as new now.
It is too early to tell, I only had it for 5 days, I will report back if I see any thing weird.
All I ever see in the Z2 threads are complaints :S is this phone really that messed up?
Really wanted this phone but I may go for the S5 since there are SO many issues :/ ffs
Well, seems like it was just indoor issue. Went out, and it still shines white and bright! :laugh:

I have a black one and have none or the issues that people complain about, overheating lag or defects. Out of the probably hundreds of thousands of people there's only a handful of complaints here so that's not something you should be scared of, if anything there's always warranty.

Yes after using it for few days I recognized that the plastic part actually picked up some colors from my jeans, etc.
So I washed it with soap and it looked new again until I dropped it hard in parking lot, trying to get out of my car without realizing I placed my z2 on my lap while I was driving.
It has some scratches and chips on the side but it still looks beautiful and I am not going to ruin it by using covers!

I just exchanged my old note for a new one (would randomly power off when the phone was in my pocket or being moved around).
When I exchanged, I grabbed a white model instead of the black, as I remember reading somewhere that the white models were benchmarking higher for some reason. In my case this was totally true. The old phone benchmarked at 2650, the new one is now at 3200 on unrooted stock ROM (with the same config - apps, widgets, etc.).
Another random observation: the white s-pen is significantly lighter than the black one. I preferred the weight of the black pen. It's a minor issue, just strange that they would be so different.
I went through 2 black and end up with the white one at the end because of the back pixeled on the first one and the second had a pixel stay lid when the phone in sleep

Like a single pixel? Harsh. But kinda funny. I must have been lucky. Im on my first note and see no need to exchange.

Wow, I feel lucky too. First Note, really fast, no issues except some black crushing here and there.
I thought about exchanging my carbon blue for a white, just for aesthetics (the white one really is dead sexy). but going to the store and playing with one, i didn't like the light bleed and brightness of the buttons. also, i like the grippy back on the carbon blue one. plus i think it will show less wear and dirt over time.
but mostly after reading all these exchange posts, if i have a good one, i don't want to exchange for a bummer that i would have to take up on a warranty exchange. i only have one day left in my 30 day window!

I got the white one to replace my original black - I too think the white one is dead sexy. The back is definitely a better texture on the black one, but since those are all interchangeable parts, no big deal.
That said, given that some phones are working better than others, I agree - if you're happy with the performance of your current phone, you may not want to take a gamble on returning it for another.
I really thought it was an iffy choice when I bought the white one with a white flip cover, as I thought I might not like the white face of the device, seeing as I loved how the screen blends into the black face of my Infuse and Captivate. Two weeks later, I'm really impressed and I have adjusted to the white. The capacitive buttons were bugging me with how they bleed into the face of the phone, but I never liked them lit up anyways, so I just have them always off...I know where all four buttons are, so why do I need them lit up? Haha. I have gotten so many comments on how nice this phone looks it's getting annoying almost. I love promoting the Note, but let me use it in peace! Haha.

Great!!!!!
White is cool too, but I'd prefer black. Any way, Samsung note is a very excellent purchasing.
Lol I ended up exchanging my white model for a black. The white was nice and flashy but I prefer stealth while the white is sexy powerd on I find the black more sleek when turned off, if that makes sense lol.

The white looks awesome with the brown flip cover. I've got that and a frosted black Boxwave. I want an aluminum blue bumper w/ back shield now. I think that looks sweet with the white.
Hey,
I was watching the videos and the hands-on pictures of galaxy s3 and i noticed that there's an ugly gap between the screen and the bezel and its really bothering me, especially on the white version of the phone. Can anyone tell me why is it that way? I tried searching for the answer but couldn't find any so i decided to ask it here.
Thanks for the replies in advance.
I thing every phone has this black gap
not as much as s3
I too noticed the gap and it is much more visible in white sgs3 than blue. lets see what the s3 users say
It's there, but I don't even notice unless I focus on it. The screen is way to good to focus on a small black gap.

you know i was deciding to change my mind and wait for pebble blue color bcoz i thought that gap would be an issue. Thanks for clarifying.
Literally didn't notice it until you pointed it out. I have the white and its fine. Probably less noticeable on the blue.

Have you held a S III in your own hands yet? Videos/photos don't show the real beauty of the phone. Don't be so quick to judge

I noticed the gaps on my first S3, i went for a replacement this morning because of very obvious spots on my display under black background. Suprisingly, the new unit does not have gaps between the bezel and screen. It fits nicely.
I hade this gap too, should i return it ? I have a smaller One side of the bigger that are under the home button
I had this gap on my White S3, its like screen was coming off and i can see small amount of glu coming out of it.
i went back to shop and exchange with new one which is fine no issues now.
I too never noticed the gap until this thread...not an issue IMO (I have a white S3)
Sorry to revive this thread but I also have this under my home button (though not nearly as bad as mani79 had). I just see a small "ridge" between the screen and plastic bezel.
The display model at my local AT&T store has it as well.
in having a look at my white s3, i dont have any issues whatso ever, not even a small amount of lifting or seperation. Must just be luck of the draw
Notice the ridge between the chrome and glass in this stock photo? That's what I'm talking about. That little ridge.
just check, mine looks ok
I have the pebble blue version and a small gap on the bottom - it isnt noticeable though but I will keep an eye on it as I wont be happy if it starts filling up with dust and becomes unsightly.
This phone has a gap similar but slightly worse than mine. Notice the gap on the right and bottom of the screen.
Still debating about getting the Note 2 but i figured I didn't see a thread for this so I would make one. What color phone did you get? From reading most have gone with the Titanium Gray but I am seriously considering the Marble White, just wondering what everyone got and why.
I picked up grey. I prefer the look of brushed metal over white, plus it hides scratches well. I have my alterior motives...

What to wear long sleeves in the summer ? The white version is going for more on ebay... I'm considering buying the phone outright since I don't want to lose my unlimited 4g.

It's funny how two phones of the same value and condition can be auctioned at higher prices...because it is white.
Beyond me.
Picked up the white.. I like the flip covers and picked up a Light Blue, White and Grey ones.. So really the color changes easily at least the back and I prefer the white front with the covers
I went with Grey. Wife went with white. I'm happy with my choice, and so is she. White hides prints better, and Grey looks smaller and less shocking when up to the ear. Wish I could have both and swap out sim card every other day.

I thought the white looked a little cheesy, but that's me. The Gray seemed to look a little classier.
But I came from using the DNA for 2 weeks and that phone was VERY sexy.
I got the gray because the led notification light showed up more clearly on it.

I got white mainly because i live in texas and I have my phone in a car dock up on the front dash all the time. Ive had problems with my black moto droid2 overheating from the sun so I figure the white should help a little on not overheating

really I had the DNA for about a week and even though black and red are me fav colors I kinda thought the design on the DNA was a mess.
Even though i had a white s3 i went with the grey. I liked the white but the outline of the screen seemed to defined. I like when the screen is off on the grey one how it kinda blends in with the rest of the phone.
I haven't gotten mine yet. But, when I do, I will get the gray one. I prefer my electronics in darker colors. I'd have been really happy if they'd put out a cover like the original Note. But, gray will suffice.
I have the grey one.

Titanium FTW :good:
Apple has tainted white phones and tablets for me. Also, white gets dirty much more easily.
Ok, I picked up a gray one, not sure how long I will have it, lol, but for now I do. Evaluating if I want to keep it or Nexus, will be deciding over the next 2 weeks or so.
Grey all the way. A: i associate white with apple products. Don't know why. And 2: I think I read about the white getting dirty and yellowing over time.

I picked up the Grey, because I never really liked the idea of white phones. Also white phones tend to get dirty and turn a little tan after awhile.....

You have it all wrong, white likes to get dirty My ipod is black...Apple taints everything they touch. Back when I purchased the ipod it was the music player with the most accessories. Everything else apple has made has used inferior hardware (to the competition at the time) and has charged way too much for it. The crazy part is people are still falling for the same old trick.
White Baby. Then picked up neon green Amzer shell holster case. Goes great with the White.

Hi guys, I really like the z2 in purple. But does anyone think this colour is aimed more for females?.
32 male.
Purple is statistically the most popular colour within males. Get the purple one.
Purple one looks more sparkly on the back due to its metalic finish
I like my Black Z2 im a metalic black, suits and ties kinda guy who drives a forein car to a forein pub to drink a forein beer but thats just taste, and that last 2 lines are lies
Purple= most attention
Black= meh
White= attention
Metalic sparkle visibility
Purple= metalic sparkle easier to see
Black = only in daylight
White = can be seen from time to time but looks just awesome in white

Not really, i saw a guy buy a purple one once and i just stared at him. not because its a feminine colour but because its an unusual one. Some cultures might not agree in which case then you're making a statement. Sticking out.
More flash, attracts attention, can you carry it off. how do you look with it taking a call.
attracting attention is all well and good so long as you got the latest & greatest. How long you want to hold onto the unit. Do you still want that attention after two years assuming you hold on to the device that long or longer.
White is in the same boat but to a less extent as its more common than purple. White hides fingerprints better.
Black is the most discrete and fingerprint magnet.
In the end a case will hide whatever colour but if you are thinking of a unique colour chances are you don't want a case to begin with.
Thanks for your feedback guys. All I can say if I get the purple one I will receive banter from my mates.
See, it all depends if you insist on carrying it naked. Feels good but then its the same all the time. You could add something like this which only works with black & purple.
If not, then black with any colour case of your choosing means more options. The more important thing is the bezel colour and fortunately sony has always gone with black bezels, these are the easiest to mix with case colour. Think lumias. White bezels restrict that choice somewhat.
before you decide check out all types of cases as this might influence which colour you go for.
Beware of staining. Purple probably wouldn't be too bad but I bought a white one originally and returned it within 2 days because it was stained from being in my pocket. I believe purple may slightly discolor also but not as bad.

If you want purple, buy purple, don't choose something else because your mates are immature!
I bought purple and love it, it's not the shocking colour in the press shots, it's actually more subtle.
Went for white in the end guys! Lol. Cheers
I've got a purple one, I've had one person tease me for the color be feminine. The response was "Are you trying to pick me up?", "No.", " Then why do you care?"

I think white looks the best with this design (especially from the front angles, striking) but the back is a little too noticeable.
Put it this way there are times and places where i want that attention and others where i do not.
Purple is striking because of the colour (unusual) but does not compliment the design as well as white.
I have purple, and a friend of mine has black. I'm more than happy with my choice, after comparing the two
Dear,
I just got my Moto 360. It functions perfectly fine,
however the back of the watch seems to push against the display..
Is this a bad thing of is this just normal?
Hope to hear something. Maybe it's a bad unit so I can return it.
Thanks in advance
meaning you see some LCD liquid on the display if you move a certain way? normal with these. it's so tight together that if i push the left side of the watch against my wrist, i see some discoloration. that's just how all LCD's are. the panels seem softer than AMOLED, which never does that.

Other question though,
I have the shiney silver edition, If i scratch the bezel ( that shiney little round thingy)
Is there any sort of thing I can 'wipe' this with?

Get it replaced if you still can - they should not be like this. I have no evidence of the back of the screen being pushed against on mine, and it certainly should not be visible simply when wearing the watch (and I wear mine very tight).
I'm also seeing this on my watch. If I push against the back of the watch I also see some discoloration. So this is normal???
