[POLL]Black or White? - Nexus 5 General

Which Nexus 5 did you go for? Black or White.
Personally I went for the White one, it reminds me of a Range Rover Overfinch paint job it's just the matte white and then the shiny black, it's beautiful!
Not only is this a question it's a discussion about people's favourite Nexus 5 colour, which is why it's posted in General

I love white cover in smartphone and when I saw the white nexus5 the choice was obliged :laugh:

I ordered the white one a few minutes ago
The sole reason i went for it is because of the dual colour combination that gives it a look
if the front were also white i would have gone with the black one

Im getting a black one !

I personally got a white one. It was a hard choice but after looking at both, the white really grew on me. I think the white earpiece looks unique. I also ordered a case so the back getting dirty is the last thing I think about

Went with the white because I could get the phone in 3 days rather than 3 weeks. If lead times were equal I'd have gone with the black because I like the rubberized texture better.

I got the black one, the soft touch feels better imo.

Also black for me, just a matter of preference. Though from what I've been reading, black's soft plastic back gives a better grip than the white back.

I got black but only because the shop didn't have any white ones.

I ordered the white one as well

The black one matches my N7 quite nicely =)

Black, because every review raved about the soft touch back and I wanted to try it myself. Glad I did.

Ordered white last night since it looked to ship the soonest. Color didn't really matter to me since I was fine with either.

ordered white, was initially for my girlfriend... but I let her take my N4.
Hands aren't always clean due to my occupation and it's leaving marks.

White. Because I know fingerprints/oil on the back of the Black version would drive me absolutely nuts.
Because OCD.

White anyone with the white does it stain over time do I need a Case

Personally I prefer black. I feel like white might look too dirty in the long run.

What is your Note Color..??

Mine is Blue.. but its look like Black..
same here its blue but looks like black
White, have the 'black' model too
But i googled for available colors.. i found its available only in Black and White..
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_note-4135.php
It's actually dark blue but it looks Black from far or in pictures, any ways I got a white note and I love it. The carrier I went to get my phone did not have stock at all but thanks to a miracle they restocked just hours before I went to get my phone but only in white. So I really needed a new phone (my previous phone is N97mini thorough nice looking its a huge mistake) and I wanted to get a white as black is so common and I'm truly sick of black phones so I wanted to get the white but last minute I chickened out and wanted a black or rather dark blue but I was forced to get the white as they only restocked white and I'm glad I got a white Note
Its a really nice change for once having it in white and so far no dirt or any thing like that, could be because the phone is glossy for the white so whoever thinking of getting the white do go ahead and get white, maybe be it MIGHT get dirty in the long run but it seems to be a quality white
Hope u guys have fun with your notes like me whatever color it is!

White.
I was looking for a black/dark blue one but the store only has the white on stock. I never imagined that i'll be having a white phone but im loving this.... The only complain i have with my white note is the back cover. It has smooth glossy finish. I prefer the texture of the back cover of the black note. It is easier to hold even it doesnt have case.

I initially wanted a White, but realized latter that this color is mainly used by women everywhere. So I got myself a Black Note! All my android phones were Black - never got any other color......
Got the white one, and the white flip cover. The blue/black version is butt-ugly
.....
Initially had the dark blue one and used for a month, then I was told the white also got launched, and when I saw it.... GOD... just could not resist the beauty of the beast so gifted the dark blue to my bro and now proudly flaunt the CERAMIC WHITE GALAXY NOTE.
I have the "black" one.

[Q] [POLL] What's your choice Black or Silver? OR Change of Mind?

This poll is about choice of Black or Silver
This might makes things simplify for some people who is confused or can’t decide yet
This is poll about change of mind about colour
We can also know what’s is biggest reason for change of mind or choose color in first place
Many people bought HTC one Silver than decide to change mind to Black
While some folks bought Black and than decided to change it with Silver
Thanks:good:
I only had one choice, silver since I got the Dev edition
Although if I had a choice it still would be silver
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
im set on the silver. ive always had black smartphones. i think its time for a change. plus for me, i think the silver is more sleek looking and i love the alloy unibody look.
I wanted black 100% but EE/T-Mobile UK only carry the silver version, so I will be getting that
Why not simplify the poll to
Silver
Black
Couldn't choose so went with silver
" " with black

Same here and I bought silver but sent it back to P4u for replacement because there was slight gap and they offered me Black coz they don't have silver in stock but I refused and now bit confused as Black one is also looking cool
This thread is overly complicated, and redundant. We already have a thread for this here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2159207
This thread should be closed.
I want the black but if the finish is anything like the iPhone 5i will have to get silver.
Does anyone know how the black colour holds up? If its scratched will we see silver underneath?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Silver for me, even though the Black does look nice and stealthy. It was always going to be silver.

[Q] Does the white MotoX backing seem to last?

I have a black MotoX with the black woven backing. My girlfriend is looking to get a MotoX, but she wants a white woven backing. Is this going to be one of those things that starts to discolor (i.e. blue from jeans, dirt in general, etc)? I think the white looks boss, but I don't want it to discolor. Especially if I put one of these cases on it.
Thoughts?

It's not a pain to keep looking clean? I'm actually thinking of returning my MotoX for when MotoMaker comes to Verizon.

What color? Navy?
I was worried about the same thing so I put a case on it, but I've been using it for the past month without a case and it's still pretty much flawless and not hard to keep clean. You don't see fingerprints unless your hands are really dirty and even then they wipe off pretty easily. I set my phone down on all sorts of tables and still no scratches when it slides and spins around.
Go for the white it looks awesome and they did a really good job designing it so it doesn't get dirty.

I saw a white one at a WalMart that looked a bit scuffed and dirty around the top between the headphone jack and the camera. This was a couple of weeks ago while visiting in-laws, so I can't go back to check. However, the white one at my local AT&T store looked to be in good shape.

I have a white weave back with orange accents and black front. No issues at all and I've had it since launch. Normally sits in my jeans pocket with no case. It is not picking up any discoloration at all, unlike my htc one which had the white parts stained from my jeans. I wouldn't have any concerns with the white weave.

BRIGHT Red Nexus 5 Review

Hey, I'll make here a short review about the color of my new Nexus 5 Red Edition.
My Nexus 4 was stolen so I went for the 5 but I was hesitating between the black one and the red one. I hadn't seen any review of the red version so that's why I'll make one for the one who can't decide!
First of all, Google mention that the phone is bright red. And it is! Its very very bright and it's amazing.
When I opened the box, the phone dazzled me! It's very flashy and its like neon red, eletric verilion or orange red (See an approximation of the color in attached files).
It's true that it look a bit orange. But in a certain way, the color affects you depending the light there is. In daylight it looks very bright, but in a room with no natural light it will look softer. But it's still bright. You can't get lost with this phone, we can see you from far away (a bit like the red-orange security jacket but not that extreme of course )
I'm totally in love with this phone, i think it looks amazing. But be aware that it doesn't look like a "normal red phone"
Regarding the case, i wanted that the back can be seen, I didn't wanted to hide the color of the phone. But I think that the transparent cases from Spigen (Ultra Hybrid) and Ringke (Fusion) were too big and would ruin the Nexus 5 design. So I found on clubcase.fr an interesting case. It's thin and frosted, not fully transparent. It looks quite good (but not so sure about the protection it offers), it soften a bit the color but the phone looks a bit more orange or pink depending the light. But it isn't that disturbing. I also bought the Diztronic Voyeur case because it seems stronger, but it will come in a few days so I don't know how it will look like on my Nexus.
I hope I could help you in your choice
PS : I'll try to add pics of the phone as soon as possible
Edit : Here is the link to my imgur album with all the pictures with different angles : imgur. com/a/5rymn (remove the space before the dot)
I also have received my Diztronic voyeur case. It looks great and much more protective than my other case but it's a bit thicker (pics in the link above )
you should really test it on the wireless charging function. My nexus 5 works well with the RAVPower wireless charger that i bouht on Amazon. And I am happy with it.
I went into the Telus store intending to get the red one but it looked way brighter in person and I thought it was too bright for me. Ended up getting a black one instead but now that I got a black ballistics case the red would be OK I think being that it would be mostly covered up but still somewhat visible.

Yes sure, with the diztronic voyeur case we have a black case but with some red reminders. its much more sober!
congrats on your new phone dude. It certainly looks amazing. I had a 16gb black which I sold and went for the 32gb white. I have to admit that the white is more interesting looking than the black and I can imagine how the red compares to black. Anyway, N5 no matter the color, is a delight to stare at...no question about that!

I bought the red version purely because it was newer and so rarer and when I sell the N5 it has less competition for those out there which want red.
I also,because I will be selling it, got a red case to go with it.
Makes a change from the usual black of white.
You are though putting me off with the mention of its really red!
My red one is 3 days and about 20 miles into a journey across USA, at current speed I'll have it when the N6 is out.
I personally think it would look awesome in a black case like the one I got. If only I thought of that when I bought it.

Cases are cheap. If I hate red I can buy a black case.
A Red Nexus in a black case? Surely you'd not get much red showing, just at top and bottom and the red dot?
Given XDA is the home of the golden padlock I'm flabbergasted this thread hasn't been locked given it's a review of a colour lol
I'm glad you are excited about your new Nexus 5. It's a great device. However, I'm not sure a review of the color is needed.

White or Black Note 4 - Poll

Please vote in the poll, did you buy or do you plan to buy a White Note 4 or a Black Note 4?
Why not include gold and pink?
Black FTW !!
Black Note 4 for me or White Nexus 6
black
Black
White it's perfect
white yo
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.
Black Baby!

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.
