Seeing as there is a different exclusive color depends on S6 or edge, figured its fair to make an edge thread. Frankly, I hate the white s6 and edge, they remind me of the white s3 from the front and a weird xperia iPhone cross in the back, but the other colors look gorgeous. The colors for edge as we know them are white, gold, black, and dark green. Green seems to be the most striking and unusual, gold looks excellent but may be too feminine for me, and black is the standard reserved option if all else fails.
Now Tmobile (my carrier) released a small video showcasing the green edge and it looks AMAZING! And considering its an official tmo video, I'm assuming that color will be available for them. I've tweeted @askdes to see if he confirms this and other details regarding the colors on T-Mobile.
Anyway, what are your thoughts on the colors, and do you know what colors will be available with what carrier?
G1/S1 (Epic 4G)/S2 (Epic 4G Touch)/S3/S4.....then I got sick of TouchWiz once and for all and went Nexus 5 (LOVED IT) and now I'm on the Nexus 6 - The S6 Edge just might bring me back home though.
32GB Edge in Gold, Green, or Black (in that order) will tide me over till Nexus Season.

I saw that Tmo video also, and I think green will be the best color, then gold after that.
I agree since TMO showed the green version they should be getting it.
Let us know if DES replies to you.
Will do! Anyone else have any thoughts on it?
The green one really interested me as well. But the fact it's glass on the front AND back, the amount of fingerprints will make the phone look messy. Though I'm sure 99.9% of phones will be covered with a case. But then again that kind of defeats the purpose of getting a uniquely colored phone :silly:.
AndroidAuthority made a video on the colors of the Edge:

By the way, why are the mods being so aggressive in removing certain threads (like mine where I was sharing new videos showcasing new features and/or information), but choose to leave clearly off-topic posts like this one (which concerns the Edge, for which there is a separate forum)? Makes no sense.
---------- Post added at 09:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:32 PM ----------
I have no other thread to share this in, since the mods inexplicably locked my post sharing new videos and content that this community would want to see all of which relate to or pertain to the Galaxy S6. In any event, feast your eyes on this:
id kill for the green, but i think verizon will probably only carry the white and the white and gold.

isnt that exclusive to the normal s6? while the green is exclusive to the edge?

If Verizon offers green, I'll get that. If not, then black.
If I decide to get the regular S6, then blue or black.

No. The only exclusives are as follows: Green for S6 Edge, and Blue for S6.
Besides those exclusives, both phones come in black, white, and gold/platinum. If the carriers, like Verizon, decide to omit colors, I'm gonna be so pissed.

lol you are talking about Verizon here.. bloat galore and their name logo plastered all over the phone. i bet they beg samsung so they can even get their own "exclusive" red color s6.
i can almost guarantee they will not carry all the colors. highly doubt they will have 10+ versions of the same phone (32gb, 64gb, 128gb) and all colors for them. my guess they will have the 32 and 64gb and the more common colors, black and white.
I would kill for the blue or green version edge,
but my vendor O2 seem to be only stocking , White/Black/Gold WTF ?

unfortunately the blue only is for the S6. green only for the edge. i think it's a dumb decision samsung made.. they're basically the same phone, why not have them available in the same colors so people can get the color they want.
as i said before, most carriers will only get the common colors which would be a dumb decision as well. im sure the colored versions will sell faster than the boring typical white iphone color. personally i cant stand white phones just because that color reminds me of isheeps.

god dammit i forgot about verizon bloat. is that enough to make it as laggy as past sammy phones?
and it would be foolish not to carry the 128gb galaxy, when they have the 128gb iphone.
wish there was away to buy a green one and use it on the verizon network.

Any one that owns a white or black model can you give me some insight. Which one looks better overall? More prone to scratches? stuff like that.
The white one also seems more special for some reason but I absolutely hate how the frame around the screen is white, it looks like it doesn't match even the new white iphone4 is like that I wish it was more like the 3gs how the front was black.
I choose the white model, 2 main reasons, i believe that the white is more scratch proof (or at least less noticeable) and it will be probably a little more exclusive.
I had previously preordered the black one and when I went to the roadshow to collect it I saw the white version on display and found that it looks nicer.
Since I can't change the preordered colour there and then I'm using the black version now but if I had a chance to choose again I'll definitely take the white one.
The black version looks like any other black coloured phones but the white version gives me a feeling of higher quality and more premium looking. I think it's because the white coating is really very nicely done.
Though like all other white gadgets you'll have to be more careful in handling it as any scratches etc will be more obvious on the white surface.
Do you guys know if they sell the back covers separate some where?
If they had made the white model purely white (including screen borders), I might have considered it. I always find the contrast with the screen border vs the rest of the phone to be a bit strange.

I never buy white computer gadgets.
Old white PC's looked rubbish. (well, whitish)
White Xbox looked rubbish.
White iphone will look rubbish.
White Xperia Play looks rubbish.
Heck, white cars even look rubbish.
Just my opinion of course
Im not a big fan of white...
Black. White is too look at me'ish. IMO
White does look very nice though.
I do wish they used rubber coating on the back plate though, stupid SE. If any phone needed to have a non slip surface it's this one.
I hope a 3rd party releases rubbery back plates.
got the white it's perfect for cleaning and scratch proof / dust proof
Go ahead

I spoke to Nergi. They took some pics of a unit they had. The black on the front is there, not white. So the glass around the screen is black. This must have been a mock-up shot of the white.

Did they say for sure that they would not ge getting the white one? At first, I thought that the white was exclusive to O2 but you can now get an unlocked one with the USA AT&T 3G 850/1900 bands. Probably the Canadian version. Maybe Verizon will offer later down the road.
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.

White is tacky... that is all.
From some video reviews, looks like the black version has the additional "soft-touch" coating on the back where the white one does not, just hard plastic. If that matters to you.

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.

I'll get the black also, I've never had a white phone before hat3 to see te black sensors on the front of the device like tiny little imperfections, it should be at least simetrical but that's just me nitpicking. Black just like a notebook.

I preordered black
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
Just my 2¢
As the thread says. Which one are you leaning towards getting?
Im kinda leaning towards white, But the display unit i tested was black and it look nice also.

Black for me.
Due to lack of news on the note edge, I was a bit undecided initially. I considered the Note 4 and decided if I got note 4 I would get the white colour, and if I went for the note edge it would have to be the black one. For some reason the black version of edge looks nicer on photos & videos.

Not to sound crazy but Yea the black one did look sexy in the store.
I have a white note 3 and I choice it over black because it look better,
but with the note edge
The screen flows better because it blends with the black.
I wish there was a white edge so I could of had some hands in with that.
I am still leaning towards the white, but I am unsure.
Black for me too.
The white faux leather didn't look right to me in all videos.
They both look great, but I seem to be leaning towards getting the white version as well.
it doesnt matter to me but damn it, it will be a nightmare for people like me in the middle east to get their hands on this amazing phone

Well the pics (drawings) on the Verizon site do look black, however, the video which shows the device complete with Verizon tramp stamp is most definitely midnight blue. I hope it's black, but knowing VZW there probably just stupid or f'ing with us, probably both.
VZW tramp stamp and only 32GB . I snub the Verizon Nexus!
Ordered!
Just ordered the Verizon Nexus 6. Says it will ship 3/18.
With priority overnight shipping, expected 3/19. One week from today.
Looking forward to it!
I think this is the midnight blue N6, just like the leaked screen shots on Phandroid indicated. The face is black, that is why Verizon is calling it black.

I agree, but I don't think there is a special black N6 for Verizon when the internal documents call it midnight blue and if you look at the video on Verizon's site, you can see the blue in the metal frame.
All the pictures posted on their website show a distinct black along with the VZ logo. The video was put together some time ago and for a short while was in the wild before they clamped it down. I'd say they changed to the distinctive color and was using available promo shots occasionally that were blue. It's not unheard of for vendors to provide unique color combos for the big carriers.
What's up with the 32gb only...pisses me off. Since I'm having terrible luck ordering from Moto I was glad to see it finally going to be in a store near me...I'd say if it is black, it would be sweet...little Slick Wraps black carbon to cover the tramp stamp and I'd be set...but 32gb might be a deal breaker.

Good point. While I doubt Verizon cares enough about this phone to offer a special color, it would be a smart move on their part, makes it more attractive to fickle consumers on the fence about a phone that is arriving way late to the party. Plus I would like it!

Well I'm glad to see that the actual pricing for edge did nto match up to the leaks, which would have us all paying the total cost of a 64Gb model when getting the 32 ...
32 is not a deal breaker for me (but heck yeah, it would have been sweet to get the 64, GPM, files on drive and other cloud storage, and on my GNex for the last 3 years I've only used about half of that 32 available.
If actually black, that would make up for the wait, hopefully whether or not the color, the logo can be rubbed of aka ATT''s ...

I like the grey.
I reserved black. I figure I'll just put a skin on the back to get the color I want.
Yeah I'm definitely holding out for the green one. That color combo is awesome.
I like the one with the matte back. Like the green one it says "coming soon." I wonder if they will be available when the phone starts shipping or after that.
Given that the OnePlus 5 is about to be announced and after that the Pixel 2 won't be far away, it sort of makes sense to wait and see what they're like. But I like the unusual design of this phone and the no logos attitude. My biggest hesitation is the lack of a headphone jack and whether or not it will support T-Mobile VoLTE and Wifi Calling.
I find the Pixel design to be boring, but it is pratical. It works with everything. It has the headphone jack.
Don't forget the Note 8, a different beast than the stock Android types but it is looking to bring a high level of badassedness to the fray.

In the Recode conference sitdown, he showed off a white model with a matte back. I really like the Ocean Depths, but would greatly prefer a matte finish. Hoping that's an option. I'm actually wondering if the glossy/matte option is available for all but the Grey, which is the only one shown without a glossy corner. Probably reading too much into it, though.

Hmm, I didn't think the white one was matte, but looking at the video again you're right, he describes it as matte. It's funny, because in the image you posted from the website only the grey version is shown with the matte back. Maybe there will be a matte option for each color. It's hard to make sense of how what Rubin says in the video goes along with what's shown on the website.

There was an official Twitter post from EssentialKeats (since been removed) where he said that there will be two white versions, the current one available for pre-order is Pure White and that's glossy, and another matte White in the future (I think he demoed it in that interview). It's not available yet due to "cosmetic" issues.
I prefer a matte finish as I detest glossy and reflective things so I will definitely go for the White or Grey once they're available.

Based on that information, it does seem like probably there will only be matte in the White and Grey versions.
Yeah, I hate shiney too. I just hope the cermaic is durable. I've seen mixed things, looking at YouTube videos of dropping cermic phones. Honestly, I'd be fine with high grade polycarbonate, like on the Nokia N9, which I think was a really nice design for it's time, even though being made out of one solid piece of polycarbonate. Don't get me wrong. The ceramic seems cool and beautiful, but it it turns out to be brittle that would be bad.
the white matte is shown off here at about 47 seconds

I really wish I could get the black one with the gold trim that the green model has.
I think I might actually prefer the glossy white. I don't know if it's because it's a prototype, but I don't like that the matte white color has white front screen bezels. It becomes ultra distracting, especially with that camera cut out. There's literally a white line running around that camera. It's far less noticeable on the glossy white on the promo adds where the back is solid white but the front is solid black.
I reserved the glossy black, although still unsure. The green looks different but feels a bit feminine (besides not knowing when it will be available). The glossy white looks nice on their website and would cover fingerprint smudges but the matte white shown at the event looked bad and so i have no idea how this glossy white would look in real.
So i went for the glossy black which is all black and make less prominent the camera and pins.
White front bezel trim. Different from what is on the essential website.

I'm really hoping that's a prototype or the matte white because the way that white line runs around the camera is the most distracting feature I've ever seen on the front of a phone.
Have there been any updates on the green version? Would buy it immediately )
I love the green, but I think the white is matte, so after seeing how the blank one attracts fingerprints, I'm leaning towards white now.

The white one is not matte. And it was confirmed recently (I think someone got a reply about this from customer support and reported on it) that the matte white version in the video where Andy Rubin introduced the phone was a prototype and will not be manufactured. So if you want matte, I think the Stellar Grey version will be the only option (assuming it actually ever gets released since Essential keeps saying only "soon," which turned out to mean nothing when they blew past their original deadline for releasing the phone).
Bummer. Well then maybe green with a clear case if I end up buying one at all. Though the reports on camera quality are dampening my enthusiasm. It's probably going to come down to the Pixel 2, V30, or the Essential.
