Hi guys,
I am considering to buy the galaxy alpha. I was looking for the black version, but when i saw it at a store (showmodel) it looked a bit grey-ish. Perhaps it was a worn out model. But i searched google images for the color and its in between, some photos look pure black others grey. Can anyone with a black version confirm this ?
Also can anyone with the extended battery pack tell how long it will last on full battery cycle (screen on time)?
Btw, I am developping with slimroms team, first thing I'll do when i get this phone is alpha slim 5.1.1.r2
Get the sleek Silver color, it looks the best.
True, Alphas balck is called charcoal black and indeed it looks more like charcoal Definitely its not dark black color.

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.

Good find, lets hope its true
Will not be amused if this is available a week after I get the blue one.
come on guys, this is just a site that does 3d animations for phones. Did you really think that samsung would not have announced a black version?

Neither will I However I think the listing could well be a mistake colour-wise. When I was looking at pre-orders, there were a couple of places that had white or black listed as colour options, but later corrected to white or blue. I think the blue should be dark enough in real life to pass as nearly black anyway.

Looks like the blue version to me.
Looks blue to me too
looks like blues clues to me i dont know about black..you know that fruit company might sue again
Also they don't even list the blue, which is a bit strange.
I'm calling BS
According to Eldar Murtazin, later it will be available in black too.

"Initially only two colors will be available - Marble White and Pebble Blue. Later on the lineup will be expanded and we will get a black phone among others."

Probably the crappy US Carrier versions.
Eldar Murtazin told me on twitter that the black version will be available for Christmas. Well, i want it so much, but i'm not going to wait :|
I have always had a black phone so ive decided this time it's gonan be different,i want the marble white SGS3 but the blue one looks really nice as well i just cant make up my mind.
Seems immeasurably stupid not to include a black version at launch. It harks back to the days of kids running around with bright red Nokia Xpress-on covers and potentially alienates a large portion of the market who want a sleek, back, professional looking phone - not a teenager's fashion accessory.
The inclusion of things like S-Voice are the kinds of things that look great in a shop but you end up never using in practice. For the same reason it boggles the mind why Samsung didn't give the option of a black version; part of the reason AMOLED screens look so impressive is the near seamless transition between black on-screen and a black bezel, made possible by AMOLED's superior contrast.
I had a very reaction when i saw the white and blue versions at the presentation. I hate white phones and thought the blue looked horribly cheap. Ive now seen a blue one in the flesh and its nothing like as bad as i feared. Its actually quite smart looking.
Many of the images of it make it look a lot lighter than it actually is. The front looks black in most lights an the pattern on the back is almost like metal.
I would still prefer a black phone though.
its the blue one!
A local electronics store have called me confirming that they have a Pebble Blue S3 for sale that they have saved for me (I pre-ordered), and I can pick it up today. However, I am not sure if it is the blackish one seen in the german video (as seen in another thread) or if it is more blue, as seen on the ads. I asked over the phone, and apparently the box they have is blue, whereas the one in the video is more black.
What do you guys think?
The reason for why I am asking is that I think the one in the video looks much better, so I am considering whether the two colours are different altogether.
Since the shop only received 5 units of the the Pebble Blue, I'm thinking that maybe these are remainders of the initial batch but that actually passed inspections?
I live in Dubai if that matters, and the store is to be trusted.
i don't think there is any other colour of blue its just the lighting in that video i have held a pebble blue phone and in different lights it looks darker.
It's blue...but it depends on the light source...
If it's pebble blue it is not the grayish one. The grayish one is being called metallic blue.

Just Flash It !!!
Hello.
I bought Salaxy S4 here in Europe but I have one problem from the beginning. When I look directly to the screen white and other colors looks great. But when I look to the screen just a very little more from the side white color get blue color in it. I know that viewing angles gives you different colors to the screen but on my S4 specially white color changes too quickly to my taste. I tested two S4 in two different shops and one have the same problem or even worst but second one looks a lot better. Anyone has this problem too? I am really disapointed and angry because this phone is expensive and colors of the screen looks different from the phone to the phone. It is like a lottery. I had S3 but I don't have this problem.
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.
