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

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.

Which color coral blue or titanium???

Currently have the titanium variant but getting ready surrender it for the v2...just taking a poll of which color you guys like more..please dont say anything about onyx black being its not an option. Seriously thinking about going with coral blue but haven't seen it in person yet. Does the gold bezel pop a lot? That's that only thing that's keeping me from getting blue 100%. I'm not a huge gold Fan lol

Went from black to silver.

Coral blue is nice and the gold on it is subtle not in your face gold like that on the S7 and S7 edge. It actually goes nicely with the blue. I don't care for gold phones and I'm liking this.

Anybody have an orchid gray?

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

yeah I received my orchid grey ATT model Thursday from Samsung direct.

My tmobile variant is an orchid grey. I definitely don't want the black one and this look nothing like purple to me!

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!

Much less orchid than grey. It's perfect and fingerprints are definitely not an issue as black tends to be.

I concur. Definitely not a purplish color. Also not a fingerprint magnet. Good color if you ask me. I just with they had titanium as an option

I have the orchid grey on both note 8 and S8+. It's so much better on S8+

You guys at least get this option. In Oz it's just good old Black and Gold... Only the 64gb version too...
Seriously, they could've sent a few of the other colours out....
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.

color options

Why am i only seeing blue and pink on the samsung website.
Wheres the midnight black or dark blue or bronze?

that is all they have to start, give me a purple one!

I ordered the copper metallic. Australia got 3 options: Midnight black, ocean blue, and copper metallic.

On the US they only have Blue and Purple because on the S9 sales black didn't sell well at all.

Yeah but guys arent going to buy the purple one, so they really limited the options there with only blue.
Canada got blue and black.
Im getting exynos and will have to go copper in absence of gold or silver.

I don't think I see people have a blue phone quite often. Kind of weird marketing strategy.

I had the choice of Blue, Black and Purple in the UK. Went for the Blue as black will just look like a slab. The blue isn't too light and will show up dark in the night so I'm all for it. As for the yellow S Pen - I don't mind it.

I do like the black bezels,but,I couldn't disagree more,especially with the limited & seemingly arbitrary color options varying from region to region.
All color options (that Samsung chooses to use) should be available to all regions on Day One of pre-orders going live.
Also,not everyone likes to rock a case or body skin.
Of course,anyone who has been tuned-in to all things Samsung knows they'll offer some of the currently excluded color options (or new ones) at a later date,to reinvigorate the buzz surrounding the Note 9.
I wanted the Black model & could choose to import it to the US,but,the Ocean Blue is dark enough for me to suffice.
I get why peeps aren't enthused w/the color options,especially when the price of admission is over $1k (less any trade-ins)..

Just going to get a black Dbrand skin for it I guess. I hate blue, but I'm certainly not using purple. Putting a black case on the phone you'll still see plenty of the ugly blue on the back of the phone at the cutouts. I will cover everything with a skin. Thanks Samsung for forcing me to buy a blue phone.

The Ocean Blue woulda been my 2nd choice at best,if given the option of Black.
However,after seeing the Ocean Blue & Lavendar Purple colors in person @ Best Buy & T-Mobile,the colors of both seemed to be darker/richer than what I've seen in the various post-Unpacked videos & definitely better than the STOOPID Renders (all renders belong in the lowest depth of the world's nastiest septic tank,LOL).
Regardless,at minimum,Samsung shoulda offered the most common of color choices everywhere,black & some variation of gray/silver/platinum.
Don't get me started on that #*&!%$# banana stylus..................................

Man I ordered the Ocean Blue-Balls so at this point I'm thinking of getting some non adhesive black duck tape and applying it because Samsung wanted to be an ass about the color. LOL, JK I'm going to get the skin and the put it in the case. However I might consider the duck tape until everything comes in.

I ordered the lavender purple because I didn't like the bright yellow S Pen. I always have my phones in a case so I hope the purple won't show too much.

I pre ordered the ocean blue in Ireland. We had choice of black or ocean blue

Which color Note 9 did you buy?

As the title says, which color did you buy and why?

the blue one because the combination of colours are the best.... really bored about black ones and my last was orchid gray who was very nice too. the yellow pen have a style look so is the perfect combination... the only thing that i dont like is the blue colour because is a little bit dark tone.
cheers

I wish they brought back Coral Blue. I loved that color on my Note7, before I had to return it lol

Copper! Beautiful

Blue because at release there wasn't black or silver. My gf has lavender

Went for the black due to the fact network didn't have any other color on the 512gb version.. If by choice would be the grey one.

Ocean Blue i went for as the Yelllow S-Pen looks Awesome..

Blue cause it came with the yellow pen and because I couldnt get copper.

Bought blue. Because it looks awesome. I usually prefer black. But in note 9, blue look pretty cool.

You forgot to add your vote to the poll

I got the blue one, but I wish the color would be just a tad lighter

Bought the blue one, I like the fact the s pen is yellow(easier to find that way) plus black is a bit old for me

I have the black, had the choice of that or the blue. But there's something sexy about the all black version! May invest in the yellow pen to set it off further ?

copper as it looks awesome
voted

Black since that'll look better in most cases. I'll always keep it in a case and the majority of those come in black so I figured I'd get the color that was the closest match.
If I wouldn't have been planning to use a case I might've gotten the blue one. It looks nice but it's a bit of a fingerprint magnet though.

Blue. Because I was able to snag a brand new 512GB for $750. Luckily, I happen to like the blue anyway, but with that price I would've bought it anyway.

:good:Midnight Black for me! Needed to match my ride, so black on black everything.
#blackphonesmatter

The Ocean Blue color definitely seems to be the most popular but while the Note 9 looks really good in that color, I think it also has to do with availability.

I 100% agree. The only reason I would have purchased Ocean Blue is because there was no other dark choice. So I chose to wait until Midnight Black was finally available in the US. I had a blue Nexus 6 and hated it.
