I am pre-ordering the s6 edge tomorrow, but white or black? D: halp
Black Sapphire has a cooler effect to the coloring.
White Pearl is far less of a fingerprint magnet (at least visibly).
That's really about as much as anybody can be helped with a color decision. Also, there's a sub-forum for questions, so expect this to be moved or deleted soon.
What the above pretty much said....
After playing with both white and black one, I went with the black. I liked the white only because you won't notice the finger prints all over it, but overall it just looked blah to me. The black of course makes finger prints visible, but man, does it look classy, and sexy all at the same time.

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.
Hey so probably getting this phone Wednesday or Thursday since I don't really the feel the need to spend 600€ on a s3. So pretty much the only question I have is which color you guys prefer this phone in? Personally I kinda like them both so can't decide
Black.

They had pink for ladies here Many of my male friends have it white and they're not homosexual or anything.. But yeah I'm thinking that black looks more stylish anyway though still not sure. Probably just going to make an impulsive decision on the spot

I like a white SGS2 more than a black one!

Apologies to OP for the off topic

I prefer black on the GS II but conversely if I was getting a new handset I'd get a white S III over anything else available right now.

I have white, but black is better 'cause it makes the screen look better + black is just cool pink is also pretty hardcore but you weren't asking about pink so black it is!
The white and black Galaxy S 2 are identical in terms of which carriers they work on, which storage capacities they come in, and nearly every physical detail other than color (the white one has some slight cosmetic differences to let the light sensor work)
TV sets usually come in black for a reason -- when you're watching a show or a movie, or playing a game, you want the TV set to disappear, so you can enjoy what you're doing without noticing a big colored rim around it.
The same goes for phones. Some people find having a white faceplate very distracting when they're watching videos or gaming, and others just don't like the contrast between the white border and the black screen when the device is off. It's very "panda".
Others aren't bothered by a white border at all and really like the two-tone look of the phone when its off.
While the white Galaxy S2 has only been on the market about half as long as the black Galaxy S2, there haven't been any widespread accounts of discoloration.
It will probably take another year to convince everyone that white holds its color fine, but if it's something that concerns you a lot, you might want to stick with black.
Some people just love the look of a white phone. They often get shipped later or come in more limited quantities so there's an air of exclusivity about them. Whatever.
At the end of the day, you need to buy what you like. White tends to stand out more and can be more obvious with brightly colored cases. Is that something that appeals to you?
If you want to be subdued and not so wicked obvious about your phone, you might want to stick with black.
At the end of the day, the only real answer is get the color you like better. Everything else is manufactured anxiety at this point. Just close your eyes, picture your Galaxy S2 in your hand, and carefully look at what color you're picturing.
Then buy that.
Here's a video of white & black Galaxy S2 comparison
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
Because there are not enough threads already regarding black I decided to start one . Mods you can close if you want I just want people to see this and if it is hidden in a thread no one will.
If you are having trouble deciding between black and silver let me see if I can help you out. As of this moment I love both and it is a very hard choice.
Silver has a smoother feeling in the hand. Whereas the black has a completely different feel. Also the black seems to hide the metal look to the phone, it does not stand out or have the shimmer on the bezel. The black looks like just another phone and the silver stands out as something different.
The black color seems to hide the speaker grills and makes the transition from the screen to the rest of the phone consistent. I did not see any scratches on either unit but the black seems to conceal defects (like gap issues) a lot better but if it chips the silver would be hard to hide(maybe marker)
This is the first time I would be happy with either color. I've always been a fan of black phones, I never took a second look at white phones. But this is not a choice you can make by pictures or videos. You need to get the phones in your hand. The term stealth black is perfect for the phone, it does a great job looking stealthy.
To sum it up silver will turn more heads and stands out more but black looks slick and beautiful.
Here are pictures of my two phone

Yeah,had this debate with the Wife a week ago when I picked up my H1. I was pretty set on Black but she kept saying as you said about it standing out more in Silver,and looking like every other phone in Black..Ultimately,I took her suggestion and got the Silver. Many compliments later and from my own time spent with it...I think it was the right choice.Would love to see this in Blue though.
Red. Red is where it's at.
