Samsung has recently brought in the White Note to the Indian Market.Does it beats the style and looks of the Black?
Depends on personal preference I guess. I personally liked the white one because it's more stylish and fingerprints are less visible. And if you want to stand out from the crowd then get the white. If you want to be discrete, get the black.

LOL I think having this beast in one's hands makes one "stand out from the crowd" Plus White is too Appleish.
WHITE!!! most of the devices around us are black..go for white..stunin 5.3 beast in white is awesome
Also love my white note, its a beauty beast
After looking at some pics of a white Note recently I liked it so much it made me have some buyers remorse. I hadn't bothered even looking at one before getting the black, thinking naaaah that won't look good but when I saw it I was like damn!!! that is sweet!!! it just looks better in white. Of course color preference is completely subjective so that's just MHO. If I could get my hands on a white one with 32Gb internal to further justify the expense, I'd buy it in a second, long as she was new in the box.
dude definitely go for the white one ...alothough i have a blue (black) one
coz when i got in dec ,the white one was apprx 35k and mine was 30k so 5k just for colour was not worth it

Agreed but I just couldn't justify the 400$ hickup on the white one. Still happy with my black one though don't want people staring when I'm using an already eye catching phone.

LOL, you have a point. Although I kind of disagree with the white Note being Appleish. I had a white HTC trinity a year before iPhones came out so as far as I'm concerned, iPhones are HTCeish.
i've seen a video of it in white and it looks so sexy. I wish I had another month's patience to get white note. but yea as someone else said it all depends on preference
It's actually blue (very dark blue) not black, and white, but that's not a serious matter.
As for me, I always take the black variant when I buy devices with screens. The black bordering the screen makes the video experience 'cleaner' or 'brighter' or something --- can't think of the proper word for it. Something of a more genuine cinematic feel; the same feel demonstrated in a movie house with the lights off.
Of course, that could just be psychological and/or aesthetic but it does go easier on the eyes at any point. I'd try to cite sources but I'm too lazy atm. Of course, when you use the Note in the dark, there would be likely no difference. However, this preference for me in such devices only applies to the screen area. I once had my hands on a Nintendo DS Lite whose interior is black but the outer cover is red but it pleases me all the same. Same thing with the Note whose back is just some very dark blue.
Another thing though, the device looks super cool when the screen is off. Like the front is just a black, shiny slab that comes to life in a push of a button. :3
You gotta admit though, white is very eye-catching. Overkill on the eye-catching factor sometimes too.
My personal opinion - white is more for the female type of users I think. I've hold a galaxy s2 white and although it is very sexy, most people in my surroundings find it more suited for women.
Now, the White Note is very stylish in its white housing there's no doubt about it.....but if you check the streets, you'll notice that most women hold white phones and it looks this color is destined for the lady's market rather than male. The White housing gives the phone a sexy soft appealing look to the overall design. To choose between a black or white, I'll opt for the black at 101%. Just my personal thoughts about this.

was about to opinion the same. As per color theory black is more suited for better video experience. Haven't come across a theater with white surrounding near the screen.
Black is best. White could be more dirty with the time.
So I can speak from myself saying that black is very good

Not true
My white note has the exynos, I think you will find that the difference in chips is between the european or international ones and the version for the US carriers which are probable going for the snapdragon because of compatability with US LTE
Personally I think my white note looks totally cool, but then I've never worried about what other people think, I just get what I like and to hell with the rest of the world

Hello guys,
I'm about to jump on the g1 train, currently trying to decide between white or black Dream. I have only seen the black in person (still looking for the white ;P) and there arent that many reviews or opinions posted on the net (that I could found at least) as to what the difference between the two (other than the color of course) and their build quality is.
So, please post your opinions on the matter. I'm pretty sure there are quite a few users in here with the white version. Black seems more popular, for some reason its also more expensive in most shops. But is it also more robustly built?
The one solid difference I've been able to read about is that the white phone doesnt have the rubberized back the black one has. Is this true? What about the quality of the plastic used? Are both solid, or is one "weaker" than the other? How do both feel after a few months of use? Is the white one a magnet for dirt?
Thank you guys
Cheers
Niko

i dunno. I have seen an all white battery cover offered in a few other countries. If you do go white, you might want to look into the white battery cover. it looks slick
definanetly get a black one with the nice matte finish(it look the best) i have a white one and the paint is chipping around the memory stick slot, the chin and it is not very scratch resistant
even if you dont take the outer color into consideration, the keyboard on the black one is the best...the white and brown G1 have a keyboard that is harder to read in daylight.
black one! you can actually SEE the keyboard
Amen... White looks nice, but goodluck trying to see what youre typing if the sun is shining on it.

There is a way around the problem if you use "Backlight Off" from the market. You do however need root for it to work.....
funny you guys say that about the keyboard. i find it very hard to use in the sun, hardly see the keys at all. as far as build quality gos.
i love my white G1, however. it has a slight imperfection in regard to the underside of the chin where the backplate clicks onto on one side. it has a very small gap making that side not sit flush with the body of the phone. its not enough to notice unless you look for it but it drives me insane. the problem is worse when i use the extended battery making the whole thing feel flimsy and creaky. i have found myself wondering if i made the right choice getting a white one over a black.
I have the Bronze and the key board sucks outside wish I would have got the black.. But I still love my G1
Wow thanks a lot for the replies. White does look a lot better in pics (in my opinion at least ). Seems I'll take the black one tho
Thanks again, really helpful replies!
Cheers,
Niko
White one IS better looking.
I've got a black one, and hope I had chosen a white one... and most of my friends with the white one would say the same for the black one. Don't care much about the 'finish' or 'keyboard', it's all the same, just go for the one you personally prefer.
I would def stick with the black
Black unless you want to replace the keyboard. Even with backlight off on my bronze the keys were unreadable at times. With my black one it's looking for a program that turns back light on without a keypress.
I've got a black G1 and a friend of mine has got a white one.
Build quality is comparable i think, but there several other factors which make me favor the black G1:
- The 'rubbery' finish of the battery cover provides superiod grip when holding the G1 in your hand.
- The keyboard (even when lit) is better readable on a black g1 than on a white one. probably because the contrast between black keys/white characters on the keys is bigger.

in tmobile UK they offer the white g1 with white battery cover and white keys on the keyboard. but silver middle.
tmobile us is half white and from the keyboard down its silver. the back cover does however have the rubbery feel.
the white g1 however chips soooo easily =\ i have the white one. and i was reading somewhere that the first white g1s that were released in te US had the same whtie battery cover as the UK one,but were quickly recalled becuz of paint chipping issues.
i bought the black g1 first,but returned it for the white g1 since white is mroe visually appealing to me. however the white g1 keybaord sucks ass in daylight. white backlight on a silver keyboard just makes it hard to see.
some black g1s had the silver middle and keyboard, but nowadays tmobile stores sell a full black g1. the keyboard is actually a lot easier to see.but i hate the black g1 matte finish.
you can buy ZAGG invisible shield to make the black g1 have a shiny look and also protect it from scratches and chips.. or buy it for the white g1 to protect it from scratches and chips as well.
i plan to however to buy a white battery cover and install the zagg invisible shield(btw zagg offers lifetime warranty so you can easily get a replacement for free)
I got a chance today to get hold of both variations. Other than the obvious color on the back, there are several subtle differences:
1. Earpiece color, black vs white
2. Side finish, matte vs glossy
3. Back finish, soft-touch vs regular matte plastic (contrary to what Engadget reported)
I was going to grab the white one for the look, but after getting them in my hands, I changed my mind. That soft touch back on the black one is really comfortable to touch (I don't plan on using a case anyway). Also, I prefer the earpiece to be black.

Weak, I didn't know that (about the finish on the back) or I too would've opted for black.
So the conclusion is that white has the better looking and the black is more comfortable for using?

16gb white was all that was available when i hit the play store yesterday so that's what i ordered. i like the black / white combo on this device and ordered the white spiegen ultra fit case to show it off.

Well yes, this is my opinion, although IMO white is just slightly more appealing if it also have a soft touch back.
I guess having soft touch on white is either very difficult, or will make it stain/turn yellow easily
I always believed that the white one will not have soft touch, until I read the Engadget report...but it turns out to be false
I have a white GS3 and love white devices but after never being able to get a case or bumper that can stay clean, I opted for the black Nexus 5.
Man, if I had known the white wasn't a soft-touch stain magnet, I may have considered it more. That white ear piece grill is ugly, though.
Now that you mention it it makes sense that they wouldnt go soft touch with the white. Makes me long for the black one now. Im not usually one to put my phone is a case, but I think without the softback I might go with a case this time around and see how it works. Regardless, they both look like great pieces of hardware

Man thats disappointing. I was looking forward to the white. Did the back cover feel like the same type of plastic on the white HTC HERO? I Wish I could get hands on both. I was really up for the white but the ear piece looks silver in pics and I thought it would really detract from the gorgeous screen always catching your eye.
Shame they really should have documented that there was a difference in the two models and how they are finished.
Also how did the glossy sides feel of the white one? Im assuming the white is aimed stereotypically at the female market hence the glossy glossy sides.

I don't know how it compares to Hero... My first Android device is the GNex. It feels similar to white Note 3's back.
The sides shouldn't make that much difference in feel, I guess (I didn't check that out).
Looking at these pictures it seems the black one is fingerprint magnet:

I've got it in hand and it is really good looking, the back is a soft touch plastic but it is different to the black. The black is identical to the 2013 N7, where as the white is smoother and less absorbent, but still very comfortable.
Let's put it this way, in was stood with the black in one hand and the white in the other, could have had either and I walked away with the white

ALL the phones/tablet he show in the comparison have greasy prints all over :laugh:
Even the two-year old phone I use everyday is much cleaner...
Yeah looking at YouTube vids the white is soft touch. The sides are definitely glossy I actually think it looks more premium than the black.
However the white earpiece cover is freaking unforgivable in my eyes who thought that was a good idea. Its so freaking distracting.
It may be good so you can quickly pick up the phone the right way up but coming from a gnex my eye is drawn to it since its the same size as the notification light on my nexus.
Also watching any video on this and your always going to be drawn to the white dot. If they were willing to do that they may as well have made the whole thing white. The point in the black front is to stop glare or light reflection so as not to distract from the screen. This does the opposite.
It reminds me of a mini galaxy tab when it first came out. I liked that and I like this just not the white earpiece. Silly design feature.

So far it looks like Black is twice as popular as White in this poll.
I've heard people say the black looks much better in person. I am planning to buy white on Friday. I've tried to look at pictures and youtube videos as much as possible, and to me the white looks better. Maybe it's just because I've never not had a black phone, and want something different?
I bought two different cases, a white one and a black one, just to see which I like better when paired with the white phone.
I prefer the Real Gold look but since that's a bronze gold and it wont be out for a while Black is the next best thing
I should mention I live in Ecuador and can't see a phone in person, I have to order via internet with a leap of faith on color choice...
I've seen both. I prefer the white.

Yes. Not sure why they colored it instead of just leaving it brushed metal colored. Although, the black band on the black phone looks awesome...I usually get white until I saw that. Now I went black.
That's WHY i got the white. I like that look for it. If it was merely metal, I'd have gotten the black version.
I'm wondering if they don't have a lot of the orchid grey.
Maybe it's just bestbuy, maybe not.
How many orchid Grey's have been delivered?
Mine (AT&T model) was just marked as shipped today directly from Samsung.
I got one in from att yesterday I like it. Because you can see the contrast between the metal frame and the body of the phone.

I pre-ordered the orchid grey Note 8 from Best Buy, and had instant buyers remorse. I almost cancelled it and ordered the black one, but decided to hold off until I could see it in person. I saw it at a Verizon store this past week and am so glad that I didn't cancel. I liked it a lot better than the black one. I too like the contrast of the black front and camera alongside the grey.

I thought the same thing too. In ATT they only had the black one to look at. So I ordered the gray one. So I looked online and for a sec it looked like light purple and I said damn I screwed up. So then I watched a video on YT and I was like yes I made the right choice. You will like it its cool. When I had my Note 7 I had the silver one and I liked that one. It was kinda of like chrome. You will not be disappointed. Enjoy it.

I have the S8+ in Orchid Grey, and it's so beautiful the only cases I could bear to put on it are 'clear'.
Unfortunately, this time around in the UK, the only pre-order colours available for the Note 8 are Black or Gold. Went for the Black but would have preferred the Blue.
In some lighting there is a hint of purple but you really have to look for it. Mostly it's just shiny silver much like the note 7.
Got mine love it, but that all black is slick too.... I really wish we had the deep sea blue option
Preordered mine from Sprint, got it Tuesday. Would've ordered the blue, bored of the black. It's going to be in an opaque case 99.99% of the time anyways. There's a slim color s strip around the camera cutout in all the cases I have (so far), which is kind of a cool contrast

I got the Orchard Gray one as for the notes I have already had a black one, have had a white one which they didn't offer, and have had a gold one.
I still want my pink note that they offered several times but only in select markets. I hate when Samsung does that. Back when I had to turn in my Note 7 for the recall I temporarily ended up going with the iPhone 7 plus in rose gold which was pink!
I just wish Samsung offered a edge version and a non edge version of the Note 8's like they did with the S7. I would buy a non edge version in a heart beat as I don't like the edge screen and it's too hard to find a tempered glass screen protector that works with a case. Even non tempered glass screens it can peel.
I pre-ordered my Verizon orchard grey 9-2 and got it on 9-7. Works great!

If we want Orchid grey or Coral blue we have to buy a grey import that means no local warranty and having to pay a but load more for it from overseas suppliers. We're already getting a$$ raped over the price - $1500AUD retail - that's about $1200USD, and we don't even get a choice over a colour... They argue that these are the colours bought here. Of course they are, little choice if that's all you get. That's almost like arguing the sun is really shiny but only in the day....
Samsung suck in that respect...
I have an Orchid Gray device. Got it from T-Mobile.
Love the color and contrast to the the front.
Don't like black phones and black cars as a rule, besides heating up in the Sun much more, but if had no choice, I would get colored case. As is I got orchid gray and clear case on top, looks good. I wonder why they limit colors for certain markets? Impossible to predict which color will sell and then deal with unsold inventory?

Yeah that deep sea blue is gorgeous, I'm pretty upset we weren't offered that in the states. That said, this black is really something else. Best looking all black phone ever made, methinks.
I can't decide whether to get the Deep Sea Blue Color or Midnight Black? I love both colours the most among other ones available.
Most of the time I will be using a Rugged "Clear Back" Case of Tech21 or Spigen or Otterbox so that I will get good drop protection without sacrificing the phone's elegant feel. And sometimes I wont be using a case at all.
I really like the Deep Sea Blue colour because in different lighting conditions the phone appears exceptionally sleek in every way.
Well on a side note if I use a Black Case, then my device visually becomes a black phone.
But the Midnight Black phone might be prone to a lot of fingerprints whereas the Deep Sea Blue one may not show that much.
However, the Midnight Black with its black almost bezel-less front, black rear and especially black "side frames" makes the phone like a complete screen on the palm of the hand.
But still can't decide which colour to get they're both very gorgeous looking devices. I love them both, but I have to go with one color that stands out the most.
And which phone will look more future-proof, since I am getting the 256GB Internal Flash Memory (256GB ROM) one from Hong Kong and are very expensive (for me) a bit over $1180 USD and I will be using this phone for a couple of years.
I've got the 256Gb dual SIM from China/Hong Kong in blue and it is stunning! I am also using the Samsung clear view stand case in blue ... it looks great and is a superb phone! I'm not going to root as I paid £20 for the full advert removal via Disconnect Pro & previously the main reason for rooting was advert removal!

I got the black after a lot of deliberation. Happy as larry [emoji847][emoji847]. The black does look all the things you mentioned and the screen just stands out a hell of a lot. I use a black case on it too.

black.
I'm an old person, trust me on this, live a little because it's a short ride. If the blue is talking to you, buy it and never look back.
Buy the blue. If you hate it, throw it in a black case and move on. Best of both worlds!
Get the Blue. They always have a black one it's to common. I have the gray one and I love it. I would have got the blue one if they had it at the time. Also the black one has no contrast to the sides. If the sides were chrome like on the gray one it would be cool.

Maple Gold is best 4 me!
Get the black one! Looks powerful sleek and elegant, I am using an aluminium frame with cristal back case and looks formidable!!
Many phones are available in black but very few in this shade of blue. Get the blue one, its more unique and it is definitely a stunning color for the Note 8. Chances are you wont regret it but if you do get tired of the color, put a solid color case on it.
