A few weeks before the Xperia Z1 Compact will launch i think it´s nice to have an overview about the color preferences
White one. It's discrete, elegant and fingerprints aren't visible at all

White is a good color, but I'd rather black, more elegant and cooler

black for sure..
i would go for white if front plate was white too
The lime one, because different. If the Z1 would've come in that color I wouldn't be running around with a black one (which is discrete, but booorrriinnnngg).

White isn't discrete, black is .Black does not stick out as prominently as white.
As for elegant & showing less fingerprints yes.
I think you need to think a step ahead as to what colour case will work best provided you want to use a case in the first place.
Usually when this question is asked, what people should think about is the colour of the bezel around the screen. Sony's typically have a black bezel. Why does this matter ? Because black gives you more choices as to case colours than white.
If its a samsung phone, where the bezel is also white or not black, you want to go with a darker bezel almost always.
Sony is a bit harder as all come with black bezels. Same with the nokias. Notice they also all have black bezels, and then you have different colours.
white vs black Z1 variant is a tricky choice. As the colour of the strip is more attractive with the white than the black giving it that more elegant look. The aluminium strip on the white always catches my eye more than the one on the black.
So the question is are you going to use a case or not, if so black is easier to match than white. And any other colour besides those two will limit your choice of case colour that much more. Pink & lime are not neutral colours you have only 3 choices either same colour case or their compliment or black (depending on how much of the phone colour it reveals). Transparent is prolly easiest.
Pink & lime are actually complimentary colours themselves. that means they go well together.

I thought i saw the red one in one of the CES videos,
I can't find confirmation anywhere that it will actually make it to the shelves,
Maybe it's just for certain markets ?
I would pick the yellow due to banana phone just for the @#@# and giggles

I want cyan/blue tbh, but Sony never makes blue phones.
Black for me since it has a large black bezel.
I will like Electric Green!
lime
I will go for lime
Got my white one now. No regrets about that choice at all!
i was so set on getting a yellow one, but its more greeny in person, didnt like it, so went for good old black
I'd prefer white above any other color
Makes no odds to me, always use a case. Went for boring black.

I went with black. I had the white iPhone and the white for the x10 looks cheap and girlish
I got the black one sure to the white looking overly 'LOOK AT ME DAMNIT'.. I would have liked to see a silver model, though.
Sent from my X10i using Tapatalk
i have a white one because my last couple of phones were black so i wanted a change. id have preferred metalic or brushed metal. would have been a super cool look, plus made it feel weighty and expensive. i dont like cheap feeling plastic phones, both of which the black and white x10 have. ah well.
In the UK when I bought mine only one carrier had the white as an exclusive and as I was getting as a steal on upgrade (oh yes we can do it 'free' for £35.00 a month... thats nice bye bye, hang on a minute madam we can sell you one for £170 and charge you £10 a month) I was happy to receive the Black.
Also I was a bit worried that the white would look like you were somehow imitating an Iphone and I don't wish to pay homage to old Jobsy in any shape way or form!
The brushed metal sounds cool tho, maybe someone will come up with some replacement battery covers along those lines.
BLACK POWER!
But seriously though, to me piano black has always been the favourite. It just suits technology better imo, white just makes it look like a kitchen appliance.
And the white, iirc, doesn't have the non-slip battery grip, correct?

Correct, the white is "piano" white on the back as well. That being said, I have the white one. It's a nice change as 4 people in my friendsgroup have the black one. Also the white seems to be less a fingerprintmagnet..
Got the black one. Since most of my tech "toys" are black/silver. Except the Wii and my netbook.

Thanks for the confirmation.
And I'm not saying that the white one looks bad or anything, it just doesn't have that hifi feel to it and for hitech gear that's a cardinal sin.
Once you go black, you never go back.
Black or Silver has, and will always be my preferred colour for my phones, and think the white phones are more girly imo.
Black,as it just looks sleeker and im not a fan of white devices, the white does look good but just not for me.

White girly? *pfft*
The hot pink Suzuki Vitara I owned a couple years back was girly, a white phone is no big deal.
Speaking of colours, I would've loved to have an X10 in dark purple or dark scarlet red. Anyone else miss any colour options?
Anyone...who bought white could comment on it?
Well seeing as there is no Black version, it would be Blue vs White
Trick is the Blue is so dark that it looks like Black(the battery cover)!
Good Luck finding the White one. I gave up and got the "Blue" one and I could not be more happy. I like white devices...but I did not want to wait.
Blue and if you want white, get a white case.
Plus the prices for white are ridiculous.
Appears bigger than the blue ones. White is a classic clean look.
Lots of envy look from blue note users who wished they had waited.
I like white gadgets but the white bezel around deep black amoled screen doesn't really work for me. So I went for the hybrid solution: got the black (dark blue) Note and bought the white battery door separately.
We'll see how it looks, since I haven't received the white door yet. Hopefully, I'll get a look that's close to my old white iphone 3g.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk
I had a choice between the black/blue and the white and went for the white. It's clean, classy and looks great set up by the SuperAMOLED's vibrancy. I have posted some photos of my Note in the other White Note thread here on XDA.
In fact, I bought the white first but returned it after a few days. Now I got the black (or midnight blue) one, and I think this looks cooler than white..reasons:
1. The back cover of the white version is just plain, and the Samsung logo is boringly flat and non-reflective. In the dark version the back cover is beautifully textured, while the logo is not flat and is reflective.
2. The metallic ring around the white version is just simply metal. I like the gun metal color in the dark one.
The above two reasons make the dark version seems more subtle than the flashy white version.
3. Dusts are easily accumulated inside the gap between the glass and the metallic edge. This will be more obvious in the white version than the dark one.
I vote white (well since I have one), it looks pretty amazing. The black is too boring imho

The white's back cover is boring to me.

Wonder if the white's colour will turn yellowish over time? It does happen to some white plastic products that I own, though admittedly these are not gadgets. I've heard about white iphone turning yellowish due to heating, or something to that effect.
I had some agnoising moments as well and finally went with the black. A white would mean it can get dirtier more easily, may even turn yellow (though not proven), and I may even have problems finding accessories that match. Besides, as someone pointed out in another thread, black is more immersive when you're viewing videos, reading ebooks, etc.
Oh well, those are thoughts I used to console myself and to stop the paralysis by analysis process.
Anyway online sells the battery door... multicilour...

This is thee same purple tone Sony has been using on their slim premium VAIO laptops for a while and it just looks amazing in person.
It takes the laptop out of the bunch. I've had 3 or 4 purple VAIOs (N505 and a couple of Z series).

dragontail no good?
There's just something about the black version that makes it stand out. Very sleek and classy looking it is in black. Yes, it's a fingerprint magnet for sure, but I can forgive that in such a sexy looking phone.
I was in two minds as to whether to go for the black or the white. But after much deliberation I have plumped for the black.

Yes! That's what it's called. Yeah, and if I change my mind and get the white phone, I'm going with the black S-View cover. I'm all about equality.
I still haven't gone to Verizon and pre ordered mines because I don't know what color to get. They told me they are positive that it won't sell out so I don't need to pre order anyway but still...What color did you pick and why? I'm leaning towards white but I'm not sure yet.
In my opinions the screen looks better with a black phone. I had a white s3 and always thought the screen didn't look that good. The I got the identical phone in black and everything just looked better.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using XDA Premium HD app
I was a little tempted to get the white one. Initially, my reasoning was that ALL of my phones are always black. I was thinking that always having a black phone is getting a little stale, so maybe I'd mix it up a little. However, I'm really not that into white phones. I would have gone with a blue perhaps, like the S3 I used to have. Also, I've heard that the non-black versions of the Note 3 have more of a glossy back cover compared to the black one's more matte finish, so there was that too.

It certainly does. I have a white S3, still undecided on the Gnote (need to know more about real-life reception etc. and am still waiting for the dumbphone upgrade from another line to kick in so I can keep my unlimited data) but this solidified my decision to get a black one.
Black Note 3 & Black Galaxy Gear
Black Note 3 because the bezel will blend with the screen, also according to reviews it has a premium look compared to the white
Black Galaxy Gear because I don't want to draw anymore attention to it then I will already get. It will mostly hide under my sleeve.
I got black because I'm used to having black phones and also I think black looks better.

Black because I like the screen to seamlessly merge with the bezels when I am reading at night. Again black is just classic. One never goes wrong with this color.

1] cuzz I'm a guy... the white one just looks "girly" to me (opinion)
2] dirty hands... don't see myself keeping a white phone clean looking (esp.with the textured back and stitching)
3] front camera and sensors blend with the bezel better instead of showing up like a turd in the punchbowl
4] black and chrome just looks good... white and chrome?... not so much (opinion)
5] reviews showing the feel of the black finish is better... I don't think it's more rubberized... just more of a soft matte finish instead of gloss
Bigass phone with black/chrome/leather look = man phone
Bigass phone with white/chrome/leather look = way too Pimp Liberace
