BLACK or WHITE or PINK? - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After my first white phone (GN2), there's no turning back from me. So i have chosen to order the WHITE one again.
What colour is everyone getting this time?

White is too sexy for me to pass up.

Going White and also going to get the white Galaxy Gear to match.

white to match my GT86 :silly:

Pink would be last because it's not unisex.

White without question..though if they had the grey like my note2 id probably go for that

Black for me. Boring maybe but I'm not really a fan of white phones. And I really don't like how the camera and sensor holes look on the white face- they look out of place. I wish Samsung would extend the ear speaker to be longer across the top and put the sensors in the same slot. It seems it would look better, at least IMHO.
What I really want to see are the different cases in person; I'd love a nice real leather back and cover that isn't too bulky but think the flap may be annoying in every day use.

Nice to know that the note 3 will be used by a bunch of hippies.

WHITE

Rocking the white i605 now and if I can get hands on a Note III it will be white as well!!
:victory:

think im get the black one.. i have the white S4 right now and the white back on the note 3 just looks to much like a womans purse for some reason... lol

Wow whites are very popular this year! Maybe Samsung will have to put their black ones on special or something haha

pink is more like a female loving color and as far as the white is concerned it makes me more feel like in a casual way ... the rest of black in my ultimate choice and i am good with it

Black here....... Anyone know where to pick up the international version (off contract) note3 on the 25th??
Not at&t( locked boot loader)
rooted,recovered,and rebooted from the ol' i777.......

White for me. There's always been an appeal to me with white Notes than black for some odd reason. (I've always been a black phone type of guy)

Black for me but will depend on the spur of the moment at the store.

:fingers-crossed:white

I'm getting the black one. After those back covers will be available I'll pick a blue one. It should look really good.

Black. Dark brown would be better for me, but...

Regret getting white S2

Having had my white Galaxy S2 for about a month, I have actually gone off the white colour and now wish I had a black handset. It's a shame as when I first got my phone I was in love with the white colour and I was one of the first to get one of the white handsets on release day.
It's stupid I know but I wandered if anyone had a similar feeling and wished they had the other colour to the one they bought?
Anyone want to do a swap? Lol
Go to the xda marketplace and post the request for trade, I bet some one would be willing to trade with you
You can always get a black case (SGP or any other) and get SGP's Black Glass Screen protector for the front. Now you have a black phone! They also give you a black piece to cover your home button. Now you can switch in between your mood. That is what I am going to do. I hear what your saying though. I love my white one but sometimes I want the black front.
I frikin trade u. Pm me! Love white phones.

That's not a bad plan. I like the fact that you could choose between the two depending on what you fancy at the time.
GOD! i love my white S2 after years of nothing but black black black , I have had three back S2`s and the silver trim around the edge of the white S2 really does looks the dogs bollics.
But each to their own
A nice sleek silver phone would be lovely but i like my black GS2.
My white S2 is coming in on Friday

I absolutely love the look of the white GS2, but I went with black for two main reasons. First, (and maybe you can confirm this), I read that the smooth back on the white version made the grip less sure compared to the rough back on the black. Second, as much as I love the look, I'm not really the type that likes to stand out too much, and a black smartphone is a lot less attention-grabbing than a white one, even if the latter is beautiful. Plus, I saved about $30 based on the best prices I could find when I bought. Okay, that was three reasons I guess, so sue me.
But yeah, the white usually costs a bit more, as you can see here already, you won't have any trouble trading someone.
Love my white SGS 2 here using SGP with satin silver niiiice
I own a black gs2 and my wife has a white gs2. I like both but I do really like hers more! Looks awesome in white!

It's all a matter of preference. Go for it if it makes you happy. I know a lot of people including me who's like white one. Problem is that option was not available locally and I wanted a phone with warranty.

Haha that's exactly what I keep getting told. Which has put me off the white. Don't get me wrong, I still like the look of it but would much prefer the black.
I prefer the Black as I have got a Black One all my phones have either been Black or Silver.
My colleague just got a White one and It kinda looks Odd compared to mine so quite happy
Yeah and its true girls look cool with white phones
Argh, my first white phone and I love it.
But today I somehow got ink on my hands from a badly made pen and must have picked up my phone,
ink marks stay on the phone and are NOT easily wiped off.
Went from screen cleaner -> lens cleaner -> flash -> Mr muscle, which FINALLY did the job.
The joys of a white phone
I got the white sgs2 after waiting for one month. I love it. I'm happy that I waited for it and didin't buy the black one. Looks awesome in white.

i was JUST thinking last night how awesome it would be to have a grey version of this phone, and that maybe i should contact samsung later lmfao.
and then the very next morning this happens!!
still happy enough with my pebble blue s3, but would definitely like a grey back cover.
Its like the blue version but grey ha

Okay...stack ranking time....number 1 being my first choice
1) Brown
2) Blue (already have it)
3) Red
4) Grey
5) Black
6) White
The world has had so many grey, black and white products that having a bit of colour is great in my personal opinion. However, the red may be too "out there" for me although it does make me go "wow". I felt the brown is something subtle but chic and unique and I would love to see that one up close. But other than that, I am more than happy still with the blue one!
well if rich will buy the flip case to change the cover and play haha
own blue, left other 5 colour to get
but the flip case not only got those colour, still got light green
Seen the reed in person at the AT&T store - it's a really nice color with the pearly paint thing going on. Definitely like the brown version. I have the white, which is still the best option of the current three colors for us in the US, in my opinion.
oh man! i'm just currently enjoying my white, willl have to sell it now and hold on to an iPhone 4 (secondary phone) and wait til that gray one comes out... or the Note 2 hehehe :highfive:
I thought the age of colorful phone casing has passed, looking good there Samsung.
Grey looks sexy!
wonder if the options will be for the i9300
grey looks interesting, but idk my options would always be black or white so far I've been mixing them
Motorola razr2 V8--------------> Onix blue or something (looked blue, purple, black, depending on the lightning)
SE X1----------------> Black
SE X10--------------> White (black looked weird o.0)
LG Optimud 3D-------> No other option besides black
SGS3----------------> White all the way (blue looks weird for me)
I love the new grey but not much of an upgrade de from white haha

White Note II turning yellow!?

Ok guys seriously we have to figure this one out xD
Everyone on the internet sais that white phones get really ugly and dirty/yellow after like 3 months of using them.
It seems the grey Note II is having delivery issues here in Germany, but the white one is not soooo...
well are the rumors true, is white such a unpractical color for a smartphone? What about using the phone in a very dark room?
Does the white phone distract from the movie or book or whatever you do with the phone?
Im having trouble deciding xD either i wait another 2 weeks for grey version or i take white version on monday.....
opinions please, thanks!
Just get the white...it's not nearly as bad as you would think. At least that was the case with my Note 1.....the back cover does get a little dingy after a while. But those are easy enough to replace. Or just get a case. As far as media goes there is no problem i noticed.
get a cover some white devices are prone to staining but not all and the note 2 should be using hyperglaze which shouldnt be very prone to staining
Who would buy the white if they goes yellow so easily?!
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Well ive had the white HTC Sensation XE and it did turn a bit yellowish after say 5 months or so, but it goes completely clean after u just rub it with an eraser.. the material is however different from the Note 2 which is my next phone in Titanium gray,
its a personal preference to me, as i have used a white phone all this long so now i will turn to gray,
But i wonder if the plastic body of the note will easily catch a yellowish color, it will look really bad... hence i myself will not prefer a white Note 2,
It looks awesome in grey too though..
Blue could be a nice color too
I prefere the Titanium over the white, but I also think the Pebble Blue would look nice too
The titanium definitely looks awesome, but I don't think the white would stain at all from my experiences with the SGS3.

ordered the white version but still debating which one looks best.
I'm gonna get black because verizon tells me which color to like.

Black is best IMO, so sleek
If you hate fingerprints on your phone, then the white one is best. But I think the white ones look cheaper and more "plastic" in appearance. The black ones look better to me.

Verizon says I can have any color I want as long as it happens to be black....
I'm getting a black phone, of course. I'm a man after all.
I like white phones but I rely on the LED notification a lot!
I notice that on black phones the notification led seems more pronounced with the darker surrounding background, on my white S4 I sometimes miss it when I glance at the phone from a distance.
Stupid reason from some but it's a real good reason to choose black for me.

I'm thinking white, my Iphone 5 is white and has the same black bezel around the screen, making it look smaller, but I don't really mind.
White looks a bit more trendy and different. I've only had grey/black phones so up until now and I'm in love with the iphone's white looks. The G2 looks really nice in white too - grabs more attention.
Only one thing - do you think the silver paint on the back buttons might wear out faster?
I own a white G2, I have bought this case for it.
The white looks great, but beware! If you plan to get the same case (which is awesome btw) or any other white rubber case, it will slowly turn into any color it touches the most. Eg. mine is slowly turning into blue, because of my blue jeans! I keep it in my pocket.
Doesn't look that bad, but maybe some will hate it!
I have a white G2 with a black Diztronic tpu case and I love it. The white looks really nice and doesn't show fingerprints without the case.

Coming from a white galaxy s2 I wished to get the white g2 also but it wasnt available at the moment so I went for the black one. Don't regred it tho. Wouldn't change it for the white one now.

I have white in all honestly I love the phone in white it makes the screen and everything pop out more for me. Granted notification led doesn't look the best compared to the black model but I would definitely go for the white. Most people have black anyways and with most cases being black now it just doesn't look good with the phone being black. I have the otter box case and black on white looks amazing with this phone.

I was gonna buy the white one because the black version didn't look good in videos and photos, but when i saw it close up i was convinced to get the black one.
I went with black.
Black and red tech devices makes my heart glow.
Thus, black G2 with a dark red matte case makes me happy.
White with a white case works for me

[Q] Black or White for a dude?

I've never had a white phone. Should I stick with a black phone or get the white? Is a white phone girly?

No, a white phone is not girly. I had a white Note 2 and it was awesome except when it was getting dirty. I still don't know too which color to get, but I'm leaning towards black. They both look awesome IMHO.
White is right

For me it comes down to fingerprints. My last couple of phone have been white and white is what I've pre-ordered.
Last year I bought two Galaxy S4's. The white for my wife and the dark blue to me. I had both near me most of the time and was able to compare anytime... It happened that I liked the white so much more than the "black" and now everytime I have the chance I'll get the white one. ?
But.. Obviously it's a personal taste. There's no better or worse. And I agree with the above post, there's nothing of "girly" on a white phone.
Edit: it's stupid I know but two or three times I dropped my s4 on the floor because it was over my laptop keyboard or over the closed lid and when reaching out my laptop on a dark room I didn't saw/remember it was there. That's another really really personal reason I'd go with the white. ?
I have a white s3 and like it but went with black this time around because I like how the screen looks like it's edge to edge when it's off

lol. both black and white are neutral colors, both man and woman can get those color and fit with it. the only girly color for note 4 is blossom pink.. i guess
White all the way.
For some reason I think the gold is girly. My last two phones were white. Going back to black to make a change.

I think the white is clean looking specially with the new UI that has a flatter look and it kind of compliments it with the white one
Gold for me. I like my LG G3 which is gold.
I'm feeling white. I normally go for the darker colors.. but now white just seems to work.

I only had white phones and they look great but when you buy a white cover it'll will always goes dirty right know i use lg g3 white but my circle cover got from white is more red now couse of my pants
Every time I buy a new phone or tablet the colour is probably the hardest decision to make!
I had a white Galaxy S3, Note 2 and Galaxy Camera and I liked them a lot, but decided on a change to black for the Note 3. It was then I realised that black is better for screen contrast especially when watching videos. I've never had a fingerprint issue and I feel it just looks more premium.
So my answer is: White is not a girly colour, the pink obviously feminine and possibly even the gold in my opinion. The black Note 4 looks more premium and that's the colour I have ordered!

This! It goes so well with the Samsung TW this time and in general i really like Note 4 much more in the white color.
I got black Note 3 when it was released and i wasn't crazy about it, but imo Note 4 looks so much better in white.
I also have white Tab S 8.4 so they will go great together. And no i don't think that white is girly. Pink is for the girls.
I have a white note 2. I am glad I chose white and did again on the note 4. My wife has a black note 2 and the black just seems to show any scratch or dirt more prominently. It's kind of like a car. A white actually shows less dirt than a black. They are both nice colors though so it is just personal preference.

You have a point. Makes me think twice in getting the white one. Currently have the grey note 2
I ordered white, usually have mostly black phones as well. But my note 2 was white, note 3 was black so now going back to white. I feel like the phone pops out more which is great for such a powerful little beast.
White. It was on my 2 and 3 so will be on my 4.

I went black this time. This huge phone will get enough attention as it is. My s3 is white. I am not a huge fan of the contrast between a black screen and the white bezel.
