Hi all,
I'm still trying to decide which colour to get. I have never had a White phone before, and think the white looks good. But I have heard that White can get dirty easier and screen would also look less vibrant.
So...what do you guys think? Which colour will you get if you can be bothered to wait for the white.
I had a white Blackberry for a bit, I liked it for a month then the colour start to bother me for some unknow reason, maybe because it doesn't match with my other gears.
Go for white if you want your Note to stand out and maybe have a slightly better resell value. But you can't go wrong with black, it's a classic colour.
I haven't seen either one in the flesh, but I quite fancy the look of the white one on the web. However, price and supply have dictated that I get the black one. No big deal either way for me.
If it helps, Apple seem to have plenty of white versions of their products - iPad, old Macbook, iPhone, iPod and lots of accessories and I've not seen anyone grumble that it started to look dirty.
If I could stand the wait I would probably get the white. It looks pretty amazing when I see it in a video online. I have seen a white S2 in person and they look beautiful.
My order is in for the black, can always order both and sell the black when the white comes in
Black looks better imho. Now where is my shipping notification...
let me vote for a white one ^_^
I bought a white iPad 2. I had to return it, it was honestly distracting doing anything but reading a bright white webpage. I don't think i'll get another white device again.
Ask any one involved in the clothing trade and they'll tell you white makes you look bigger. The Note already looks big enough.
The cover for a white Note would also need to be white in order to match and it would soon look dirty, especially if it was made of leather. So for that reason alone I would prefer black.
Black is better for images and movies, white would stand out too much, with everything black it will blend in.
It's like having a white tv, wtf who would want a white tv? My vote goes for black!
I'm aiming to get black
I got a white Ipad as a birthday prezzie
(still sulking over the colour)
on the ipad white any, dust/fluff seems to be very noticeable

I would sulk at the fact it's an ipad, not that it's white in colour!!
Their too big and overpriced for what they are, they're more suited for movies/gaming/entertainment than a phone or business use...
Are you a woman? If not, get a black. Like a real man.

Got my Note in white and I love the way it looks. It doesn't get dirty, no more so than my black Galaxy S2 did. Everyone that's seen it falls in love with the way it looks.
So, I see that the black xperia Z has highly visible fingerprints, I wonder if the white one will make them less noticeable? Can anyone with the white one confirm? Also, which colour are you going to buy ? :laugh:
I'm confused between black and white
Me too. But I've gone for Black as IMO it looks better and apparently the fingerprints are easy to remove

I've gone for white so I aint got to fully see those finger prints on the back.
I have the white Had Black phones for ages and fancied a change.
Finger prints are not to visible on the back.
But I still polish it every time I use it as you can still see them and it bugs the hell out of me!!
Tough choice for me. White looks great, black looks good too but has fingerprints problem. You aren't going to look at the back of your phone though.
Will probably get black because it's less visible during 'stealth' photo shoots.
There is already a thread for this. Please use search function.
Sv: Black | White | Purple choice and why thread
I would prefer the white one but as I can't wait to get the XZ, I'm getting the black one. The Black one releases 2 weeks before the white in Sweden.
black, cause I am not a child anymore.
White screams too loud young...
Black imo it looks better regardless of fingerprints.
I'm getting white as the full black face of the screen stands out more and that looks neat. Also, fingerprints will be less obvious as mentioned.
The fingerprints on the screen are likely to be "auto-wiped" each time you insert and remove the phone from the pocket. However, the back will always have fingerprints as your hand is going to be covering the back as you grasp the phone in your pocket. Ya feel me guys?
I've gone for black as it looks sleeker. If you apply the front and rear screen covers contained in the box the fingerprint problem is much less. It's just the factory applied anti-shatter films that show lots of fingerprints.
White, because it's very beautiful
Gone for white as i love white phones I also hope it wont show as many fingerprint marks on the back of it
oh and

It had a poll and black was by far the most popular.
Still haven't made up my mind: purple or black?
I have pre-ordered a purple one simply because it is beautiful and unique, it's deep purple color so it also suits men.

It's a Sony after all Their purple devices go great with everything.
Got myself a black one - black/silver are colours of high-tech for me.
Anyone bought white?

I like white phones but i don't like the white Z. I don't like two colored phones. If it was completely white, fine -but it's not- soo i'll go with the black one.
Any one with white xperia z? Can you tell us how it looks from front comparing with black one? Does it looks premium like black one?

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.

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...

confused i am using the hox white, and looks really cool. Perhaps i might try the black this time, It will also match with my sony xb90ex earphones
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.

The white is covered in glass on both sides so why would it discolor?

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.

Hi guys,
I'm going to buy LG G2 soon and I was 100% sure that I will get the white color but alot of people said that they have a black version or would go for a black if they were to choose. So now Im not sure which one to get.
For me personally the white one looks more premium and the big display pops out even more than on the black version. Also the fingerprints wont show as much as on the black one. The black one looks kinda ordinary, like every other phone.
But what do you think?
Personally I prefer Black, but currently the G2 I have (LS980 Sprint variant) is white. I got it for a great price so, I couldn't pass that up just 'cause of the damned color of the device.
But by all means, Black all the way... just my opinion, of course.
As far as the G2 looking "ordinary," obviously once you get it you'll realize soon enough that it's the most unique smartphone to come out in many years. How many other smartphones have zero side buttons at all? Zero, that's how many... except the G3.
I love my white one, and agree with you about the plusses of the white. Also, it shows off the thin bezel better.

And how do you like the white one? Did you get used to it over some time?
Of course I mean just the black color, like most of the phones are black maybe thats why the white one looks differend. But G2 by itself is an unordinary phone The edge to edge display looks just amazing on that body And the back buttons are interesting, I'm used to buttons on the side and top so I'm kind of curious if I will get used to them But we will see.
Thank you both for anwering

Thank you, yeah on the black one you actually cant see as clearly how big the display is. But its because of the contrast that the white one looks better.
Personally I think the back buttons could look better, if they would be black like they are on the red or gold variants, it would be perfect. But its a phone, so you will barely look at the back. So it kinda doesnt matter. Front is most important

Doesn't really matter to me I suppose since I keep it inside the TPU of the Slim Armor case and I hardly ever have the bare phone in my hand for whatever reason. I just prefer Black as a color - to me it looks better on the face of the device with the display being the only thing that should be "lit up" or bright in color. Just a personal preference, nothing more.
Yes you are right, I will use a case too so it doesnt matter that much anyway. I have bought a flip case and some ultra thin case, looks cool Yea actually as you said, it looks good when its all black and only the display lits up. Both colors look good for me.
Btw, do you guys use screen protector?
i got black one..maybe white is more modern but black gives it more.. how i can say..prestige dunno lol..well mostly i got black cause i play games also and in my opinion colors on screen look better with black than on white.. you know the contrast on the eye..using a spigen slim armor now and looks great.
I preferred the white over the black. It really boils down to personal preference. You could get a black case, the combo makes the phone pop.
I have a Zagg screen protector on mines. I got it at radio shack for like $3.00

Yes I think I know what you mean, some people said to me it looks more "elegant" to them. But I think so does a white one, for me even more elegant Well the display is perfect so I dont think it will be a difference. Just that on white one you can see the frame of the display. Ortherwise it should be the same.
Where did you get spigen case btw? Is it original or fake one?

Yes me too. I bought a transparent ultra slim case, which will go also well with the white, but maybe I will get a black one as well. I also bought a flip case, so I will have to try both to see which is better. And I was also thinking about spigen case, it looks really cool and it should protect the phone a lot more than others cheap and thin cases.
Which cases do you have?
Anyway I will go for white I think. Everytime I see the picture of it I just have to have it

I ended up with the Incipio DualPro. Doesn't add much bulk and feels good in the hands. The only thing I had heard about the Incipio was to stay away from the white case, It gets dirty easily.
Thats probably a good thing to do in general, to stay away from white cases But i would get the spigen one instead of incipio. This one looks kinda ordinary. And black color. White phone + black case = the best combo
I thought this thread may be helpful now that there are actually two available colors out there in the wild.
I was able to test drive out the Black Moon version for awhile and found it beautiful.
An INCREDIBLE fingerprint magnet, but very slick.
All of the tear down & torture videos show that the black finish can shed/scrape off leaving silver blemishes. This has me thinking about Pure White.
For the record, the last white phone I had was the iPhone 3GS. It was pretty good at keeping those pesky fingerprint smudges at bay, especially compared to the black 3GS, but nothing perfect.
To be honest, for me at least, I feel that most White phones come off as cheap or just not done right. I guess the best white phone since was the Galaxy S6 Pearl White. Although, I would rather use any other phone to get away from Samsung and Touchwiz or whatever they call it now. (Lipstick on a pig)
Here's the rub. When compared to the market patterns for my taste, Essential seems to have pulled white off in a way that looks business classy.
I honestly actually leaning towards white. I have yet to be able to hold or see it in person and know some of you have.
What could you share with anyone in this position.?
I know I cant be alone as a person that only buys black phones because other variants are just too tacky.
There are even some of you out there that have had both! True hardcore Essential fans.
Please share impressions with us after using it for awhile compared to Black Moon.
(Oceans Depth)
Let me address this before it comes up.
I just can't do gold. It's just has never been my thing.
I applaud Essential for taking color seriously with Oceans Depth, but they just had to trim it in gold. (Rats!!!) For those of you like my son that love gold, it absolutely a knockout of a device color and one of a kind.
I have the white one and looks good in my opinion. Keeps the fingerprint at bay and I am sure it will hide all the scratches as well since it is not that reflective like the black color. The only issues i have seen so far is what I ave listed in another thread -> https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74442626&postcount=3
