Hi
Beside obvious color and RAM/storage differences, I'm trying to find out if there is a "feel" difference between slate grey, midnight black and light gold variants?
What I mean is:
- is one more "matte" or shiny than the others
- is one more slippery than the others
- is the finish layer more durable on any color
- etc.
I tried googleing for the answer, watching some youtube unboxing videos.... but couldn't find the answer.
Thanks
All the same
I think you can give them all in the hand of a blind man and for sure he will say "there's no difference here"

Has anyone noticed a difference in weight between the gray and white version? I swapped my white this morning (which ive been playing with since release) for the gray, and for some reason the gray feels heavier.
Maybe just placebo...and i probably wouldnt exchange it if it were a little heavier. the gray feels and looks like a more premium product in my opinion.
Good to join the community.
Colour is colour..no difference.
I noticed I couldn't lift the white backed one as high... Probably because it was so ugly I felt ashamed somebody might see it.
The grey one is definitely easier to hold.... atleast for vanity's sake.
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.
White note male owners need not reply and defend. We accept you just the way you are...

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.
Hey,
I am going to pre-order the HTC One soon. I really want to pre-order it as fast as possible but I'm still not sure which color to get.
Which color would you guys get? I think the black one is pretty cool but silver makes it look more special and sets it apart from other phones.
I also heard that the black one shows fingerprints more easy, but the on the silver one you'll notice the edge to edge black zone is much more apparent on the silver version.
What do you guys think?

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?

I think the plastic edges might 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.

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
