I'll start it off. I went with the blue. I think the press photo doesn't do it justice. The in person color is way better than the pictures of it. The reason is because it reminds me of the Pebble Blue S3 from back in the day and I like the throwback feel of it. I also had black for my S8+ so wanted to "feel" like I upgraded. But most of all I like that it's different.
Why are people going Lilac Purple or even Black? Share your thoughts.
I wanted the purple one, but there wasn't stock when I got the phone last week. I had to settle for the grey one...it's growing on me...
Purple for me with a black cover. Usually the other way round but no purple covers yet.
always wanted a blue phone, couldnt get it in s8 so got it this time around. Unfortunately cover is black so dunno if im going to see the blue at all.
I went with the lilac purple so cute
I wanted the purple one at first but ended up with the blue. I even went in a Verizon store to look at them in person to make a choice on color. I had the gold note 5 then currently the silver s8 plus so I'm excited to have a brighter color this time.
Purple for Resale value. Girls love purple and it easier to sell when your done with it
I went with lilac purple, i was not a big fan of my black s8+. I dont care enough for blue.
Gone for black this time. Had a gold nexus 6p for 2 years
Went purple. Having a little remorse as it looks rather feminine. Got a clear case even before I got the phone. May go with a black case to cover up the purple, which looks too pink IMO.
I went with the Blue one, and I am very impressed. I have always had black phones, so I wanted to try something different. The pictures online made is seem more like a "baby blue", but I was glad to see this is more darker and almost like a blue-gray. I have the Speck Grip case (Eclipse Blue/Carbon Black color) and the blue case color matches the phone perfectly.
Originally went for the black, but retuning it for the the corral blue color. I usually always get black... It's time for a change [emoji16]

I'm stuck on black, thinking about changing but haven't done it yet.
Wanted to get Coral Blue as previous phone was black Note8.
But couldn't find S9+ Coral Blue in 256GB Variant.
Settled for Black S9+ 256GB FD
Black. I haven't had a black phone in years, but didn't really care much for the other colors available in the U.S.
But the truth is it doesn't matter that much, because I put a case on these all glass phones anyway.
I ordered the purple by accident, wtf. I wanted black but I guess ordering at 230am when you're at work was not the best idea. Haha
Coral Blue.
I despise AMOLED but almost every device now is using that screen tech. All of my phones have been black. I figured if I'm taking the AMOLED plunge, let's take a bigger leap and go blue.
I went with blue because I always go with blue when Samsung offers it. Check out Spigen's crystal clear offerings if you want to show off your phone.
Midnight black because there was no Titanium Grey available when I got mine. What a bummer. Maybe with the Note 9...
Blue is the color I went with.

I know there are photos and video reviews all over the web. Still, this video is good to have a better idea on how both colors look side by side in reality.
You're welcome.
I like the purple
Grey for me

I wanted the champagne gold but apparently canada isn't getting any (or at least not where I preordered). Ah well amethyst should be fine as well
I feel like I'll regret it if I don't get the color I want. It's gonna have to be grey.
I'm getting two. LOL.

That is such a worse camera quality, with that quality I couldn't even distinguish my mom from any other woman.
Only the Champagne-colored one will be available in sweden so that choice is easy (asus nordic will not handle warranty issues on tablets bought in the us wzich is a shame)
Best comparison photo I've seen thus far.

You would not be the first:
... in my opinion it´s not really bad.
The photo 2 posts before is a little bit irritating: the champagne one is more gold.
Champagne Gold device looks like white gold, it is mostly silver with a slight touch of yellow hue in the mix. Quite visible here on an actual photo: http://www.engadget.com/photos/transformer-prime-preview-dock/#4651723
Amethyst Gray is a dark gray with purple hue, like on this photo: http://cdn2.ubergizmo.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/transformer-prime-review-06.jpg
The renders that Asus has put up should not be trusted. Best you can do is go and see the device yourself and if that is not possible, then rely on photos more than Asus promotional images.
If I were getting one (I'm not), I'd go for the champagne. Much nicer than the grey, IMO.
Took me a real long time to decide which colour I wanted... I love purple but finally went for the Champagne. Looks like a better bet when it comes to stock level from the rumours we heard so far?
Amethyst gray so it doesn't resemble iPad but I have a feeling it will show fingerprints more than Champagne gold.
Champagne Gold for me baby!!
I preordered the gray one, but now I'm not sure!
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
I preordered both but just cancelled the champagne one today.
I'm surprised so many people are going for the gray. To me, the champagne color gives it a very...premium look? I'm not sure how to describe it, I guess it makes it looks like a better version of the back of an iPad 2 or Galaxy Tab 10.1. I only see a little bit of a yellow tint to it, and when they first revealed it (before officially announced in November), that color just blew me away. Just my two cents.
I'm going to pre-order my AT&T Galaxy S III soon but I'm still stuck between white or blue. I think the blue looks sharp but if the faux metal texture is really visible and apparent that may turn me off from it. What do you guys think?
I visited Samsung HQ to test the S3 before launch (I work for Vodafone UK) and can tell you that the Pebble Blue is hidious! Such a shame really, they should have just made it black! Its personal preferance I guess but I chose the white one .
See, I disagree completely, I saw a blue demo model in my local Vodafone shop and thought it was gorgeous lolf
I have received this morning from Coolblue ( from the Netherlands) a Blue S3. Much nicer than the white S3 that I have seen in their shop.

Not because I already own a white one, I think it looks gorgeous! Tri to see both next to each other before choosing it .

I have also received the blue this morning from Coolblue but I can't use it before the end of the day because I'm at work
Most UK stores now have demo units of both colours and the darker frame of the blue creates a better contrast against the screen. From the front the blue edges it IMO. However, from the back the blue looks more like purple and just doesn't look right.
Nonetheless I've ordered the blue and happy to wait bcos I'll be slapping a slimline mesh case on the back anyway. Interestingly when I Google 'pebble blue or marble white' the few polls I found all were in favour of the blue. But it's best to see both yourself as tastes differ.
I find the metal effect to be noticeable but subtle. Most of the time it just looks like a fuzzy dark blue device.
That said I've only seen/used it in shops so far, my personal unit should be arriving today.
Basically once you slap on a back cover the back doesn't matter much.
It's just the front now. To me unless your phone is in a very bright area, it looks very much like black and similar to other models of black phone.
Whereas the white will always be contrasting in most situation. And I heard the white goes well with the blue pebble cover from Samsung.
But as most said here, better to see it yourself in person.
For me after seeing the blue version, I find the white better.

Looks nice man.. glad I chose that color. Looking at a screen + white is not a good mix IMO. Some have stronger eyes to withstand the condition, some don't.

So I still can't decide on what colour edge to get. I thought the gold looked gaudy, but under store lights it looked more platinum, same goes with various pics I see online (always looks different). Not a big fan of bling and gold in general, but I wonder if the pics online mostly look so blingy because of lighting?
Here for example (xda - beda_boy), to my eyes at least it looks wonderful:

I was in the same deal, and obviously this was the main reason why I picked up this color, as you said it depends on the ambient light, and mainly mine looks more gold but I love the way it turns into platinum in certain situations is just awesome, at least for me
Enviado desde mi S6 Edge Gold
What case is that?
I would honestly say mix of both, its as if shiny gold was mixed with toned down platinum silver
Very hard to explain, depends on lighting as well - either way, would be very hard to be disappointed - its a really nice colour for a phone
It's more goldy i would say. I have a black case on it so it dosen't look as blingy. Definately the best colour. I had the black one which used to look more blue lol
Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk
Most Gold/Platinum just looks a silvery platinum - but if the lights catches it a hint of gold.

That's interesting, I reckon if the black was pure black I'd be more sold on it, as it is can't decide between the two. What made you switch from black?
Part of me also kind of thinks after seeing in store that maybe gold is more distracting/clashy for a front bezel colour when looking at content, compared to black or white?
I thought upgrading this year was gonna be simple given how Sammy has blown everyone out of the water, but now I'm stuck between edge/no edge and black/gold (even green now on the horizon here in the uk). Sometimes I wish they just made one colour, one model haha. Would be much simpler

One answer...go gold/plat...the best color and unique of all the choice as well..this color looks good when the screen is off as well.. The dark black screen against the colonial gold plat.. I also noticed the gold on s6 to be more blingy and gaudy. Had to shell 130 dollors just for that reason..the white s6 from the front looked ditto s4..the only model which looked unique and worthy of an upgrade was the edge and this color..and mind you I was upgrading from htc one m8 gun metal grey...so it had to be edge plat gold to beat it for me. IMHO, this is the best designed and cool looking phone in sometime...
I'm planning to buy the s6 edge this month and I was initially decided to get the gold version. I usually don't like the gold color on phones but this one on the edge isn't very pronounced and in different light situations it looks silverish. A gold device with a clear UAG case looks amazing imo.
The problem is, here in Romania, the gold version is ridiculously exepensive compared to the other models. The difference is almost 150 euro.
So I turned my eyes to the green model. I think it looks spectacular, but I'm personally not a big fan of green in general. I've never seen it in real life, only in videos, and I just find it kinda awkward.
Does any one own a green phone and have some impressions? I would prefer opinions from male members. I can totally picture a girl with it, but I guess that's what I find awkward about it, I think it looks kinda girly.
If anyone has a clear UAG case I would love to see some pics.
Re
I have a green one but i like green in general. It was a love of the first sight. It looks either green, cyan or black according to the lighting conditions and plays nicely with light. Gold does the same. Green is in my opinion more subtle than gold. I just don't get it, how is it possible to have such a difference in price just for color? Have you searched other European nations? Here in Greece it costs 540 euros (any color). I don't know how much it is there.
Deff go with green. You will not regret it.. Gold is tacky color choice for electronics imo.
I work for a telco and am fortunate enough to own both the green one and the gold one.
The gold one is pretty and definitely gets some attention but I think it's a bit to shiny and not a very special color.
The green one is way cooler, it has a color I have never seen on a handset before, it's beautiful in the sunlight but doesn't beg for attention. It's more subtle.
My choice: green! Most of my colleagues also prefer the green

Green for sure - as others have said, it's very subtle/classy. I've just paired it with these headphones too - killer combo!

No doubt, green is great…And I don't like gold devices,also, there is no need to pay more for gold devices .
I shot some pics of both the green and gold ones side by side, hope this helps
Why choose when u can have both?
I feel that the mirror on is cool but it will get crazy real fast.
I ordered blue. I don't think I've owned a blue phone before.
Well, I currently have the keyboard on my Razer set to flitter insanely through all of the colours... so I think it's pretty safe to say that I'm going to get a lot of mileage out of the Aura Glow. For me, the only issue is finding a clear case that I like
I like the Aura Glow.
I have never really been one for colors and usually get the black version or dark blue version of every phone but that aura glow just really looks cool so I went with that one for the Note 10+.
I would have gone for the Aura Glow but unfortunately, Samsung is only offering the Aura Black for the 512GB Note10+. :crying: so that's what will be coming in the mail on August 23rd.
I went with the white for a change. It was either black or white. I considered the blue but my OnePlus 7 pro and my mate 20 x before that were both blue so I'm good on that for a while.
I like the Aura Glow, but once you put a case on it, you won't know what color you got anyways. With that said I went with the Blue.
Was going to get black, becauss my last two Notes were blue. Plus I wanted 512GB. But that Aura Glow....I saw some videos of it and I was sold. It's will be here on Aug 23rd.
Black. Because my phones live in official s view cases so there's no point getting the aura.

I like the SView cases. Had one for my Note 8. I guess I mean I like the IDEA of them. I just never could get used to flipping it open and dealing with the flap taking pictures, etc. I wish I could've got more used to it.
But I have a case addiction. Unusually have like 10-15 cases for my phones, LOL. Sometimes I like clear. Sometimes I like thin. Sometimes I need rugged. Sometimes I just want to change the look of the phone.

Used one since the galaxy s5, even used one on my xperia z5 premium or whatever it was so it's all second nature to me now. I hope the new s view covers are good like.
Got the Glow with this case.

I got black. It's sadly boring. I wanted a different color one, but my practical side said it is going to be covered anyway. It's also less tempting for me to run around without a case.
Got black as always.
But the bluish one does look nice at times.
Gonna buy the Note 10 but a bit confused between the colours.

this is my dilemma also. I pre ordered anyway but may end up trading it in on a 512 aura exynos version since i kind of want to see how the 9825 performs vs the snap 855 in my S10 plus
I've seen some crazy purplish yellow one in photos but that must not be North America version.
EDIT: After watching the videos...the Aura Glow does change to purplish greenish yellow....way cooler than what I thought it was. Now I wish I got that one.
Internet is flooded with Aura Glow but when I checked in person I did not find it special, rather found it "glittery" that I do not like in a smartphone.
It's this Aura White that I'm finding better looking than the rest.
