Seriously, I can't use the phone without noticing these thick black borders. The soft gold variant appealed me because Oneplus photoshopped out the black borders inside the bezels. Why oneplus why?
Furthermore, I don't have any option to return the phone as I've imported it. I am hating the phone that I wanted to love.
Do not buy in Soft Gold, it's ugly.

yeah... all the white phones have this as the screen that is active does not end where bezels start. That's why on black version is not noticeable even though it is there.
this is why I don't buy phones that has a white front. I like em black

Yes, but not to the level of this phone. Apple, to their credit shiw the border(which is thinner than on OP3 anyway) in the promotional pictures. But if you look at OP3's website the gold color is shown without any border. I feel bit cheated.
I'm overacting a bit but I'm really regretting the fact that I don't have an option to exchange it for a black one.

I just received my "russian girl" OP3... first thing, it is not bling-bling at all, the gold tone is very soft, and yes the white face is a little of a shock to me since this is the very first time I have a phone with a white face, but I'm sure I will get used to it. It does not look like a cheap chinese telephone at all as someone said, which is funny because this IS a cheap chinese phone .
The only thing I do not like is the screen protector that comes with it, it is like wearing a size S t-shirt when you are size L .
Forgot to say that the black line around the screen is a non issue for me.

Funny thing is I like the gold on the back, white front is not too flashy until you turn the display on. I'm using the phone on dark mode to hide the borders.

For me this Soft Gold model is just perfect for it's price. The tiny black border doesn't bother me at all, it's on all white front phones I've seen and used. Otherwise it's also much better than I expected after reading these threads here and on OnePlus forums complaining just about anything. Very positively surprised.
It's all about personal taste and preference I guess!
@brickedvice could you post a photo of the Soft Gold phone with the screen protector that has black top and bottom? I'd love to see how it looks

If we could have gotten a white backing, I would still have chosen black. A white, textured, rubber back would get pretty dirty over time. Also, after having a white iPad 2, I will never get a white-bezeled device again. It's distractingly bright, especially when I'm trying to read.

The bezel and ring of the I/O device is black, only the back is white. I'm a little worried about the back getting dirty, but since its plastic, a damp rag should keep it clean.

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.

Hey guys, I got my HTC One M8 in Gunmetal Grey on the 2nd, and I am loving it. However, I have been starting to like the look of the gold more and more recently. The biggest thing that is interesting me about the gold is the texture. The Grey, while beautiful (as are all of HTC's recent phones), IS a bit slippery, and I don't plan on putting a case on this beauty of a phone. From what I've heard, the Gold has a less slick feel to it. So, for anyone who has the gold and can compare, can you tell me if it is worth it to exchange?
Note: I am definitely happy with what I have, I am just curious.
id put a case on it, i didnt want to and the phone slipped right outta my hand yesterday, got to watch it slide across the pavement ugh. the gold m8 i messed with at best buy felt the same as my grey.

Really? That is really weird! I wouldn't have pegged that as being an issue! One other reason I've been considering gold is because just about everyone who buys this phone is going to get grey, and so gold would stand out more, but if it has a pink hue to it, then I'm better off with grey!

Yep! At first I liked the color. But once I saw it as pink, I always saw it as pink. HTC should never have labeled it as amber. Rose tinted amber perhaps would be more fitting.

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.

It's weird tho, I've always had a black phone and they all attracted fingerprints like crazy! But with this phone I barely see anything. And my hands/fingers are mad oily most of the time. I guess the Ringke Fusion and a tempered glass screen protector help out a lot!

A high end oleophobic tempered glass protector will surely help. Especially if you put one on the back too. Been looking around just that in my country woth no luck. I dont use any casing so even on white i get a lot of prints, though unnoticeable unless you look close.
Regarding fingerprints, just put the phone in your front pocket. After walking around for a few minutes it will come out clean and shiny. ? Regarding the color, go with black.

I bought the black and it looks nice but the fingerprints and smudges are driving me nuts! She thinks white is "girly" but I think it looks nice. What do you all think?

Gold is best. Best, best, best!
green
Red
I like the red-orange color most (my last one was docomo version in orange color, very nice color but I have to sell it because the signal problem (later I know how to fix and then regret alot ( ) now I'm using green, it's ok too. The last color I would choose is black, too original, nothing special about it and come along with alot of fingerprint...
I love the green one, second is the red-orange.
Thought the question was "white or black"....
Hi,
I've got a white one and I love it. Beautiful, elegant, not a dust-magnet.
I don't think the white one for women. I used to wearing white shirt.

Black phones always do "cheaper", more plastic...
However, the white one got a problem. In a dark room, the edge of the screen has kind of a halo around.
The brightness of the screen (even with 10% luminosity) tend to light the white glass case.. Kinda annoying and ugly.
I would have definitely chosen red over any other color if only my carrier had any red Z3Cs back in October. I got white one and it is not as pleasing as I thought it would be. Black is much prettier.
I love the black one. It looks slimmer if you ask me and i love it when the screen is of how the front turns into one shiny glass surface.
I have the black one and like it. However, I really did like the red one but it was out-of-stock when I was ready to purchase. Red sure it different.
I miss the Royal-Purple from the old Xperia lines.
This time around I chose Mint-Green, not only because it's my favorite color but that so I can flash my phone at my enemies and blind them from its color!
