I'm going to buy one today which color is better? - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Which one looks nice the gray or the white and why ????

Which color do you like more? No one else can answer that for you. I got the white mostly because I ordered the unlocked gsm version and that was the only color but I like it.

I like both but which one do you think have the more expensive look and feel among the two.

I got the White since almost every tablet is dark in color.... And I wanted to be different. :victory:

Having owned a white Samsung Epic 4G Touch, let me warn you on the white. Samsung uses soft plastic and it get's easily stained.
I have the dark graphite model and will not show dirt (other than finger oil smudges).

I got dark grey so I wouldn't be mistaken for an iPad d-bag.
White is the new generic color. White to most = iPad. My Note phone is white and I'm not a huge fan. I've actually been thinking about getting rid of it for something smaller.

The bezel on the white note looks bigger because of its color but the only thing i like about the white is that it has a glossy texture which makes it feel more expensive than the gray or is it the opposite?

The back of the gray unit looks like graphite in texture even though it is just plastic. I like it personally.

I pre ordered the grey for my wife. Apparently one of the few females that doesn't like whites!
I like my white galaxy s3 though.

That sounds a little bit racist! Obviously not meant to be, but it just immediately made me think of someone saying "My wife, now she don't like them whites!" Good laughs.
To the point though, I have a Galaxy Player and I really like the white on it. However, the front is black so it tones it down. I've been looking for white note 10.1s , but they're going fast, or there weren't as many. I may just go dark grey so I can get it from Newegg now. Online shopping, no tax but you can't trade it in as easily if you made the wrong choice.

Haha. True. I'm sorry if I offended anyone. If it helps I'm white and so is my wife though

I've had a white e-reader and it was a mistake - white border makes the screen look worse somehow. On LCD it might not be such issue though because it's brighter.

I bought the gray - really like it. I'm not into the white because of the finger-stain possibility. At least to my eyes, the gray looks fairly classy (although as someone else stated, it doesn't really make it stand out from the crowd....).

I got the deep grey because to me it looks nicer, is probably less prone to getting dirty and isn't mistaken for a white Apple dumbPad.

Can't agree more with that, seems like ipad users like the white border...

If my white E4GT is any indication the white plastic stains easily.

Device Color

Anyone here have a tough time deciding which color to get? I chose the white but am still not sure yet if I should have a chosen the grey. I love the look of the white phone from the back, but the grey looks really good with anything black on the screen (keyboard, apps with mostly black ui, music player & Pandora). Also, which really made me ultimately choose the white is some people are reporting that if the grey phone gets scuffed it wears out the finish and your can see glossy marks.
This was a hard decision for me. It makes it that much harder that I have severe OCD
So did you guys have to make a decision on which one to get or did you have your heart set on a white or grey one from the beginning? Just curious.
I decided to get the white one. They had plenty of grey ones in stock but I decided to wait for the white one since they were sold out. Should be picking it up tomorrow.

I was in the AT&T store for literally 2 hours deciding which one to get. A few employees there thought it was hilarious lol. I ended up with the grey one. While I do think the white one is sexy as hell, I think over time it will get marked up more than the grey, especially since I don't like using a case except for when I'm at work. I still have 27 days to decide but I'll most likely stick with grey, which I still think is bad ass looking. Lets face it, we have hands down the best looking phone out right now no matter which color it is.
Yea I got pretty lucky. There are like 7-8 AT&T stores within like 30 miles of where I live and every one was sold old except for two. One had like 2-3 grey ones but no white and the other, it was odd, had a pretty good stock of both.
I too took forever trying to decide, but went with the white.
It's dead sexy!!!!!
Took my white one back Fri. and picked up the grey one. I too don't use a case and was afraid of it getting too dirty.
I went with the grey after seeing the amount of staining from blue jeans with the white model.

White all the way..took a little decision making lol but I've always had black or grey..and with bodyguards full body skin I don't think it will ever get dingy or dirty or scratched lol

I went with the grey.
* I don't use a case (was afraid white would dirty)
* grey seemed more manly
* white seems just trendy
* white reminds me of iPhone or Apple devices
* white looks more like a plastic toy than a serious piece of tech
* white makes the phone look bigger - grey looks slender
Don't get me wrong it still was a tough decision for me. I liked how the white accentuated the curved screen edges.

I always get black phones so I wanted to switch it up. I rarely like white on phones but something about the One X in white had me drooling.
I've made my decision and don't regret it one bit.

I loved my white 4s and now I love my white one x
Had a white iPhone 4S for a long time. The white is extremely distracting to me, granted the white One X doesn't include the glass, but I just enjoyed how the camera's ring of plastic and the HTC logo were closer in color than the contrast of the silver/white thing going on with the white model, even though to me from the side the white model looked liked this car: http://images.psxextreme.com/wallpapers/ps3/white_lamborghini_615.jpg
Still, dark grey just felt like more of my thing.
i went with the grey One X, i was contemplating on getting the white one but the screen surround on the white one was black which was a bit of a turn off imo
So I went with the grey since the screen surround matched the grey better then the white.
Being that I got my mother and fiance a white one recently, it was almost my duty to go grey. It seems like grey will be the less popular color and it looks great with the matte finish. The sides of the white were much more noticeably shiney than on the grey model.

Didn't even look at the grey one. Saw the white one and it was love at first sight!

Normally I go with black phones, this is the first phone I've been even remotely interested in getting in white. So I did. I'm crossing my fingers that it won't get too dirty - or worse yet stained - because I don't use a case, but I've heard that polycarbonate casings are pretty easy to clean so I have my hopes up.
If it starts to get dirty and dingy I'll get a case lol
White was a no brainer for me. My only issue is my OCD with cases now, most cases look better with the grey one cept the speck candyshell that came white but i hated it as well
Why cant otterbox commuter make a white version of their case? I hate the white trim showing and not making the overall look cohesive

Tough decision but I knew ultimately I'd be happier with the grey. The white looks a little more feminine, and it reminded me of Eva from wall-e. Lol, Evita/Eva...coincidence?

Not to be an ass, but if you're really particular about things, it doesn't mean that you have OCD.
As someone who has a sibling who is truly very affected by OCD and whose mom is a psychologist, I've learned that OCD is not being particular about things. It's doing irrational things like twisting doorknobs a certain way or having to touch things in a certain way before you can pick them off of a store shelf. It's all about routines and being afraid of what happens if you don't follow those routines, not being picky about your gadgets.

Which color to get?

Hey guys, I intend on getting a note soon and my question is, which color should I get? Obviously preference is the answer here but I'm a bit afraid if I get the white one it would inevitably get some markings soon and look disgusting. With that said I do own a white sgs2 which is flawless after owning for many months. But that is because it's under constant protection from a case and screen protector. Can't say I'd do the same to the note. Also the grey looks a bit tacky as opposed to if they had gone with black like the tab (speaking in terms of the bezel only). So any insight on this from owners of both colors? Thanks.
I think its your personal preference I chose grey ( i still do not know why it is called that as the back is bluish as S3) over white because its back has that metallic look which I like but anyways it always going to be in a cover so it wont make much of a difference. But like I said its what you see and like
Yeah, definately personal preference.... I also have grey and it looks good...
If the white case is like the S2 then it will get stained but I have no trouble with marks on my white S3... Still white and looking good....
Personally I prefer the blue s3so I got one of those too but it seems samsung changed the plastics used on the s2 and s3 as the s3 really doesn't seem to stain....
Not sure about the note 10.1 but as it came out after the s3 you'd assume that the materials would be the same as the s3....
I wanted white first, because grey didn't looks good on pictures, but reality in grey is much more better. I have grey one with original grey bookcase and it looks much more vauleable.
Go for grey!
I got a brand new white on eBay for $450. It'll match my phone now I guess. Just need to find a case now.

grey for me
Grey looks fine less contrast with the screen.
I do like white i own a galaxy note 2 which looks very nice in white same thing for s3 and s2 which i still own.
For the tablet my advice buy grey. It won't get dirty but like I said before the contrast white to black screen makes grey the best choice.
Good luck
deep grey

I have a grey and my son has a grey. I got the grey because I didn't want anyone asking me how I liked my Ipad. But we both keep them in a case so you really cant see the color. I'm sure I would have been put on the Apple lawsuit if I had gotten a white one. You know Apple invented the color white.
i have white and its very good and untill now i dont have case but i clean my tablet everyday untill my case arrive from china
The white stands out so much. It's beautiful

Quick information. I've stucked this thread and now it should be considered as an official place to discuss color. Other threads will be closed. Thanks for understanding
I just got mine yesterday (thank you slickdeals!!). I went for the white one because it looks prettier to me, but the gray actually doesn't look bad in person. In the pictures I saw, gray looked waaaay ugly, but when you hold it in your hand and play with it, it really is kind of a good looking color. Unfortunately, light gray + dark gray is still not as pretty as light gray + white.. so.. there you have it.
I personally like the metallic finish the grey has been given though I like white as well but considering the conditions in India where even Taj Mahal has lost its white color I do not think white of note will last it full distance
Grey so I don't have to deal with white turning yellow.
Most ppl in this thread suggesting grey colour but in the other thread in general section, if im not mistaken, has been discussing about the built quality between the two colours, and most user report that white unit has significant better built quality over the grey unit.
I have the grey and love it. I was torn between white and grey but when i caved in and actually went to buy it they only had grey so i went with that. I own a GS3 in the blue and they actually match surprisingly well. i often use them side by side and people always comment on how nice they look together.
Not sure about the inherent quality differences of "white" and "gray" but since both of them are the same price, I considered them having the same in usefulness and performance...
Anyway, I got gray... and when you put it in protective case, color seems no longer a prominent feature...

Seconded, gray is better for video reasons too imo, since you wont be distracted by the boundary color
Gray because appel is white.
I like my gray very much.

Same. My wife had a baby pink RAZR that she couldn't get rid of
Red here, went in for a black but they were out so at the time I was bummed but its really grown on me.
The red will have the lowest re-sale value. Many red S3 owners couldn't get a lot for their devices when they tried to sell them.
I would like to know if AT&T will be getting the S4 in Arctic blue?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2324587
coming from a red international S3, I opted for black s4, since my wife got the white s4. Plus the only model of s4 with 32gb internal memory was black
I opted for the Red one myself. I actually really like it -- prefer to be a little different
I had 2 red's but am returning them for the Active. The red is a very nice professional looking color. But I always put cases on my phone anyway. I had a black Ballistic HC case with a Sith wallpaper...it looks awesome.
GF went from white to red; everything she owns is red, everything i own is white.

I assume your girl is white? just messing with you
I kept going back and forth on white or red and ended up with the red. Really like it, I think the bezel and front will contrast nicely with my cases. And the red touch button light is pretty nifty too :laugh:

Red here .. originally got the black one, was keeping my fingers crossed that the red one would be released before my 14 days .. thankfully it was.
I had the Red SGS III (wife now has) .. so I just wanted to keep to the scheme.
Anybody have any cool redish themed wallpapers?

[Q] What's the material the Nexus 5 is made of?

I'm deciding if choosing the white or black color, but if it's a non shinny white, I would prefer the black one, I mean, phones like the Nokia Lumia 920 has a white shinny color, which I like, is it like that? or just a regular plastic white? I would appreciate your help on this, thank you.
not shiny, its a mat white finish, plastic. the face is black though.
IMO the white looks better. But I'm biased. I have a white nexus

I prefer the white one indeed, but, does it look "cheap"? does it seem like getting dirty quickly? thanks!
I love my white nexus. Only time will tell if she stays white haha
Hahaha, that's correct, what do you think about some articles saying that the black one looks more premium? I'm sorry to ask this much but here in my country there are not being sold, and I will order it through eBay :S

Galaxy S6 Black or White ?

Was going to pre order the S6 in black but after seeing them in person at Best Buy that White Pearl looks mighty nice.
Which color looks the best you and which color are you getting?
White wouldn't have been horrific if it wasn't for the white lenses on the camera at the back. With it, it looks absolutely terrifying.
I would personally go for either black or blue, but first I have to see the latter one in person, because it is too bright of a color and it might not look as good in person as it does on pictures.
Pre ordered the white edge from verizon from Best Buy. The darker colors look to be fingerprint magnets.
I usually prefer white phones, but the Nexus 5 got me used to having a black face. I think I might explore replacing the black glass back with a white one somewhere down the line for a similar Stormtrooper aesthetic.

Black all the way! I have only had one phone in white, that was an iPhone 4S, it was good looking for the first few months and after that I got sick of having a big black rectangle on a white body. When I switched to my Galaxy S4 I went black (not really black at all) and it was a lot better to my eyes.
In the end, its personal preferences.
If I was stuck with those two colors I'd definitely pick black.
