Do you expect a White LG Nexus 4 later?
I think it would look really cool.

I hope so, car phone had white versions.

Pretty sure I saw one in one of the videos today, but it was just the soft-touch surround that was white; back and front are probably still black.
Edit: how's this?

That's just a reflection off of the chrome bezel.

The chrome bezel is only a millimeter or two wide, there's clearly white below that.
HowEVER, it might just be a reflection from the lightbox they're shooting the photo in, but that doesn't really make sense as the soft-touch surround appears to be matte in other footage.

that is either white or a pretty good optical illusion from the materials or the light box...

if it is white...it might be google exclusive?

Google exclusive as to it's employee's? If so I probably wouldn't think they'd go through such a hassle of making the device different color in its entirety just for their staff. For the Nexus Prime it was just a back cover.

I would really like to see how a white version would look like. Currently I have a white Gnex, which is awesome. I'd like a black face and a white back, just like the Gnex. Would be great if Google would shed some light regarding this matter.

It will return as Nexus the Grey to counter Sauron Apple of Mordor

I tried to tell myself that when I first purchased the white one inadvertently. But aside from the color, the feel of the brushed grey is far superior (IMO) to the white plastic. The plastic feel of the white model just makes it feel cheap. The brushed grey almost makes me feel like its brushed aluminum...
ooohh.... yeah i mean gray actaully not that black
i think the gray or black will be better
Got the white, which was the only option at the local BB for the 32G version. As others mentioned, you can't see it during day to day use. The feel of the white back is that of any glossy plastic. Haven't held the ggray one, so I can't compare. Ideally, I wanted gray, but I'm very happy with my tab, regardless of color. Frankly, this is my first android device that I haven't rooted - I'm that happy with it.

HAHAH! That's hilarious.
I/O but.. White in this poll
I picked up the white one the other day at BestBuy for $541.24 with tax.. It got a lot of finger marks on the back after using it for a little bit. I returned it after finding a new in box black one for $450 on craigslist
This happened to be the "black" one (more like graphite grey or something) and this seems more resistant to finger prints. And beeing a little less smooth it seems like the grip is a bit better.
Thats just my $.02 though
since the front is NOT white in anycase like the iPad I would say black and grey is the best combo.

So it all boils down to wanting to look like the iPad? I honestly don't get that. The GT10.1 is superior to the iPad in so many ways - why would you want it to look like one?
The textured back on the gray has a great, secure feel, especially while scrolling screens and holding one-handed. I didn't want the white because of finger prints, assuming I would keep it naked in use and pouched for transport. The difference is night and day, but I miss having a built-in stand with a cover, so it likely won't matter in the end.

I wish Google would have launched it with the white version as an option! I guess my white carbon fiber dbrand skins on the front an back will have to do for me.

Just the backplate is white. The bezel is still black. I recently popped off my N7 cover and there are lots of built in antennas and connectors. Don't know if 3rd party manufacturers could make replacements. Probably.

Never understood that decision. If you make a white device, make it all white; not just the back.
You put a cover/case on it, and it makes no difference.

My thoughts exactly.
Yea, just buy a white feather case and BAM
Coming from AMOLED screens, I do find the white bezel contrast helps make the LCD "blacks" look darker. That is one of the annoying things about coming from an AMOLED where you can't tell where the screen starts/stops to an LCD where you can distinctively see the LCD panel compared to a black black panel border.
I've never owned a white device. I wanted a white G2, but Verizon only sold it in black... well now there is a white one. My N7... now there is a white one. I dunno. There are companies who make the Glass style screen protectors that actually have painted undercoats that can change the color and appearance of the front bezels. I'm waiting for a white review unit for my G2.

EXACTLY!! Not sure why some manufacturers understand that concept, and some don't. I realize that it keeps the production costs down, as they don't have to remanufactuer the front half. I for one wouldn't mind paying a little more for an ALL white version though!

That combo looks really good though.

It'll be one of these designs...I might save the $25 leather upcharge and put it towards either the rapid charger or a Moto Hint.

It's suppose to be a bumper.. I chose the crimson color one.. but the render is different than what it shows on the website..
The crimson from the product page is here. http://www.motorola.com/us/consumer...ses-for-Moto-X-by-CaseMate/hula-cases-x1.html
but i like the one from the moto x motomaker color.. it's more of a crimson. The link I posted is very orange like red..pinkish. I hope it's the darker red that matches the red trim color I chose...

this was one of the choices i was deciding between. i think this looks the most premium out of all the design choices possible. was also considering black front and white back aka storm trooper. ultimately decided i wanted a color that popped.

Yeah, I loved the 'Premium' look of this combo.
I considered the Storm Trooper look however my first Nexus 5 was the white edition and I hated it, ended up trading it for a black one.

White vs. Black

Hey guys, I am struggling to decide on which color to import. I have traditionally always had black phones, but the white body in screenshots at least looks really good.
Are there any advantages/disadvantages to going white vs. black with the Z3c?
I've always had black phones too. I bought a used white moto x a couple months back. I love it more and more every day. I definitely getting the white z3c. The black one just looks boring.
I went for the white one. Have had several black phones and wanted a change. Would have done the red / orange model but the black bezel looks tacky to me.
I did white too. Should shoe fewer fingerprints than black.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
I went for Black - looks more professional. I like keeping my phones in cases anyway though
I went for black, never had a white phone, although I do have a niggling feeling perhaps I should have tried white, it does look good.
I ordered the white one. I changed it to the red one awhile later. I saw a video of the black one and it looks really classy to me so I changed my order to black :laugh:
I originally wanted the mandarin red, then saw some videos of the mint green and thought that would be really cool, but unfortunately, the green won't be available unlocked for some time yet. After hearing more testimonials about the red and how brilliant it was, I'm convinced it's the right choice. Basically, I wanted anything other than black and white because as safe, classy, and sleek as those choices are, I find them to be rather bland. If I had to choose though, I'd go with white, only because most of my devices have always been black and I wanted something different.
I had a Z1c in black for quite sometimes and bought my brother the Z1c in white and gotta say the white does looks really good. But currently can not really say much about the z3c as it is not available yet in Australia. The best way would have to go and look for yourself which one would suit your taste better. But i would say the white looks good on picture. The only that might be a concern that is the seal around the screen is white as well, just do not know would it be stain over time

TBH I don't get your question at all, since it's purely opinion based.
If there would be a technical difference based on the color, most people would get the color that had the technical upper hand.
You don't ask your friends either if you should have a blonde/brunette girlfriend/boyfriend, since it's all just based on taste.:angel:
You are absolutely right but you have to understand that we are all really excited about this phone and we just discuss all kinds of bul**** about it until the delivery agent rings the doorbell and leaves the white box in our hands...

I prefer black because I don't like how the sensor cutout, speaker, and camera lens standout on white.
If I could get black front and white back like my Dev moto x, that would be awesome. I guess I can still do that with a white skin for the back.

Not necessarily. White will show less fingerprints, but might discolor over time. There are a few objective traits each color exhibit, and since I feel torn between the two aesthetically, I wanted to discuss some objective reasons one color might benefit over the other.

it won`t.
At least it didn`t on my white Z.
I think another disadvantage of a white one would be the white front panel making the display appear darker, I think in sunny weather the white could actually "blind" you a little, making the screen a tad more difficult to read.
I've occasionally had overheating problems with sunlight coming in through a car window. White might be helpful.

Which color black or platinum?

Guys which color would you recommend. Both color has one advantage and one disadvantage like: Black color G6 is fingerprint magnet but front is more immersive with hidden black border. Platinum color has black thin border around screen. However back is less prone to smudges.
I wanna know how is the look and feel. Is there is any difference. I didn't find any topic related to color so made one:silly:

I'm not sure you are going to get a conclusive answer here.
Personally I went for the Platinum. I don't use a case and thought the platinum/silver would hold up better over time, also all of my phones have been black so I thought I would have a change this time. I'm very happy with my decision, although I would say the black probably looks nicer when it's clean.
The only real way you are going to be able to make a decision though is by going to a store and looking at both.

The paint on the aluminum on the black one also chips so have that in mind. I've had both colors. First a platinum and now a black one. It's hard to pick a favorite but black just "always works". Though the silver front can reflect light pretty nicely at times.

The grip is just fine! Feels good in the hand. Though the back is a smudge magnet and feels greecy. Going to Dbrand mine.
The black paint on the aluminum will go off if you hit the sides of the aluminum. Making silver spots on the black paint. In a while it could get potentially ugly and look like wear and tear.

I think all manufacturer should add black front only. Other colors like white, silver or gold effect the viewing experience and looks bad. My HTC 10 topaz gold was having white front bezels with similar black borders around screen, so I added black color orzly tempered glass instead of white one to make it look black lol it works
Sent from my LG V20 using XDA Labs
I was not a fan of the platinum until I saw it for real. I wanted it when I saw it but it turned out I could only get black anyway. I am glad I did. The all-black front looks better to me and I like the darker coating on the aluminum edge too. Of course the platinum back looks better and there is no coating on the aluminum to wear off. To me the decider there is which part of the phone I will be looking at 99% of the time. But for others the decider will be which part of the phone OTHER people will be looking at.
Ultimately I'd say you wouldn't regret either though so I wouldn't agonize over it too much.
I wanted white, but it turns out that the white one is gold/pinkish so I took a look at the grey and the black one... The grey "looks" cheaper than the black one imo, but that might not be important to you.
I really like white phones because I have sweaty hands and I leave a lot of smudges on black phones. You can't tell on white ones.
The main reason I went with the black is because there is a black border around the screen... its very obvious on the white and grey phones but on the black one its invisible! It would have annoyed the living hell out of me...
I'd suggest you go look at all 3 variants in person and decide there... I was really close to purchasing the girly white one online, hopefully i didn't.

Hey buddy, its been a while i am using LG g6 silver, The problem u r talking about the border, i never notice it on a normal usage, I just notice when I read any article stating this issue and then my eyes intentionally focus on black border, Silver looks really classy and I recommend it.
But if u like black and the only reason it is a fingerprint magnet, then u can buy cover or dbrand cover for ur LG g6, which will look awesome on black lg g6. And anyways the drop test isn't so impressive as u must have seen on youtube. You won't keep your phone without cover anyway.

Double thought about the color here too...
I wanted to buy the platinum one at first, but the thing is that my carrier only have black one. So after a few articles and YouTube videos, it turns out black is also a good deal, in some segments maybe even better then platinum? I'll just have to take care of the back (skin or cover), right?
clearly a personal choice
I saw that video also, black is a finger print magnet, wanted platinum anyway, so that's what I got. Happy with it.
One thing additionally though, the question about 'how it feels', some say 'good size' etc, I agree, except one thing, this phone is slick as snot. Slickest damn phone I've ever had. You really want to use a deliberate grip, it will surprise with how slippery it can be.
Love it though, awesome phone
I too wanted a platinum, but was not in stock. Ended up getting the blue one with the black front, best of all worlds I'd say!
Black is always the best

Bought one of each, gave my wife the choice of which one she wanted. She chose the platinum. Now I'm kind of wishing I hadn't offered her the choice. The black looks like any other phone; the platinum looks rich and classy.
I’ve just ordered the black. Look forward to receiving it tomorrow
