Flossy black!

I know it's only 16 votes so far but I am surprised that bronze and black share the lead right now. Bronze was heavily promoted by Samsung and tech bloggers seem to love it. I ordered that colour even without seeing it in real life, hope it lives up to the hype!

I like the bronze but it only comes in black for 512gb

Got Black as it's the only way to get 512Gb.

I'm curious on how Samsung marketing works. Why do they release certain colors on certain models. I got the bronze 128 but would have loved it in 128

Got black for 512GB but I also feel (from the pics I have seen) that the bronze looks to close to rose gold. It's great to see so many people like the mystic bronze but it's just not my style, I'm more boring and always liked black. All my vehicles have either been black or white (tied at 2 a piece for white and black but my first car was grey so in the middle of the 2, lol). Also after I strayed from black phones to the coral blue Note 7 I feel cursed to stray from black again lol. Anyway, 512GB only on mystic black also forces my hand even if they had another colour. Why they don't make both colours optional 512GB is stupid but it's Samsung.

I agree. I really like the Mystic Green color, but it's only on the smaller note. And on top of 512GB in black only, no 256GB in the US ?
What irks me is that they'll release more colors later. Why not release all of them?

After going with Aura Glow last year on the Note 10+, I found myself wishing I had gone for Aura Black. I just love the look of the all black slab with the screen off. But I also HATE the greasy fingerprints on black, and I've been wanting a matte phone forever. I actually have a matte clear skin on the rear of my Aura Glow Note 10+, which made it just an irridescent silver color.
So I was all set on Mystic Black and had no interest in bronze. But after seeing it was a matte finish, I began looking a little closer at it. I finally pre-ordered it in bronze last night. After looking at it in person at Best Buy today, I feel confident I made the right choice. It really has a premium look to it, and I didn't really get a rose gold vibe from it. Plus if I get sick of it, I'll put a white skin on the back, which will look amazing with the bronze frame and camera mountain.

That's great to know that you got to see it in real life, a lot of reviewers say that the colour looks better in real life. Cameras seem to make it look more rose gold than bronze. I blindly ordered mine in Bronze because of the praise it was getting in reviews. So thank you for confirming I made the right choice )

Retailers often promote whatever they find themselves with a surplus of.

I was going to get the white, but went with bronze due to the matte finish. Was slightly tempted to the black only for the 512GB, but I have 128 in my current S20 Ultra and I don't use it all, plus will have an SD card waiting for the phone.

White, gotta be white like my last few

That's true of retailers trying to shift stock, but that doesn't apply in this case as we are talking about a product that's not released yet.
They promoted Aura Glow last year and it quickly became the 'must have' colour based on the feedback from reviewers. I still love it. So bronze is also taking the same reviewers by storm. I am confident it will still be the most popular, black being also popular but probably only because of the limitation on the 512Gb variant.
.

i was sold on the bronze but went and saw it in person and didnt like it as much.
if I get one i will import a 512gb mystic white one likely since the dipshits at samsung only sell 512gb in black in Canada again this year.

I ordered Mystic bronze. It looks really nice in pictures.

Ordered bronze 128gb with 512 gb SD card $79. For the win ha.

Mocha Gold color option, like or dislike?

I went with the Mocha Gold option, and I was really hesitant before ordering. In person it looks much more subtle than some of the pictures and videos online were totally off. From the back, in certain light, it almost looks like a softer rose gold? But every time I look at it in different light it looks different. Overall I am really happy I went with it though.
What do you think of the color options? Which color did you get?
I need to see in person. Seems cool, but if too gold or brown not so much. A bronze though might be cool. Anyways not much help as I can't really say anything other than curious until I see in person.
I got white and put black protector on screen so it is black front and white back like the Nexus phones. Such a small thing but really looks tons better. I would have gone for silver or grey but hard to tell not seeing them in person, a deep rich grey would be nice though. Love this as is though, just wish the bottom black bezel covered the nameplate completely or had oval cutout rather than rectangular cutout - looks less polished with the rectangular cutout but can't find any that are otherwise.

I wanted to go with the Space Grey originally, but the 6 GB 128 GB premium version was only offered in Mocha Gold or Gold. Overall it looks almost nothing like the pictures, but they did the colors very well and I am impressed. Its more of a softer or low-key gold than brown, not quite rose gold, but darker.
Still would have preferred the Space Grey as its more of a minimal clean look, but meh, it still looks very good. :silly:
I originally got Gold but it has a shiny coat on the back which I didn't like. Swapped it for a Mocha with a matte finish on the back and loving it.

What color S8/S8+ should you buy?

What color S8/S8+ would you buy?
- Maple Gold
- Coral Blue
- Arctic Silver
- Orchid Grey
- Midnight Black
- Undecided
I think I will pick Black
orchid grey. unique and beautiful color on a phone
Coral Blue was my favourite but I got Orchid Gray cause blue wasn't available
I like all the colors but i chose black just because it seems to best blend the screen into the edges making it really appear invisible.
Midnight Black
Coral Blue as it's a unique as well nice colour for the infinity display which complements each other.
I just picked up the black one yesterday. I like that it's not very intrusive and matches just about everything. It's a rather neutral color. I would suggest you pick whatever matches your purse!
It really doesn't matter. You're covering up the back with a case anyways.
Sent from my S8+Rooted
Order of preference:
1. Coral Blue
2. Midnight Black
3. Orchid Grey
4. Artic Silver
5. Maple Gold
I wanted the US Unlocked version, so I was limited to black. But honestly the black is gorgeous. It's a deep wet black and when the screen is off, it all blends together and just has a really clean look.
Now, if it had been available at the time, I probably would've got Coral Blue (and am tempted once Best Buy gets it), just because I'm a little tired of black, white, grey phones.
My other choice would've been Orchid Grey. But one, it was not available in unlocked version, and two my wife chose that color and I don't want us to have identical phones. With the very slight purple tint it seemed a little more feminine, but not enough so that I would be opposed to owning one. I liked the uniqueness of it.
I dislike gold phones, and the silver, while nice and clean, just seems bland somehow.
Ultimately, I'm happy with black. My ONLY issue with it so far is how much it shows fingerprints and smudges. Plus I put a full body clear skin on both our phones from Best Skins Ever. My wife's orchid grey turned out perfect and you can't see the skin at all. Mine however, the edges really show, and any little imperfections shows against the black.
We both also run cases and screen protectors on our phones, but the cases are clear so the color matters. Plus at home I take my case off just to see the beauty of this phone. I put skins on under the cases, because I have seen dust get between cases and the phone surfaces and etch scratches into them in the past. So just being over protective I guess. I'd love to just run it naked, but I'm too OCD and want my phone to look mint when I resell it later.
Once you go black, you never go back...lol
No but seriously the black is just gorgeous. I wanted the S7E in black but only had the silver at the time i purchased. It was nice but sort of hated it. Even the S5 didn't have a dark black finish, it was more so dark blue. My last black phone prior to this one was the HTC Evo and before that the palm pre. So i had to have the black this time around and love it. My wife got the orchid and wasn't to fond of it at first but now she does...or so she says. compared it to the S3 i have at home since its blue.
I also like the Black! But if I want different colors later then I'll do it via cases...
I had a black one and it looked really nice and sleek but was kinda boring too.
I Got a gold one which is nice and its a different gold than the note 7 i had (not as flashy) but I reallllllly wanted silver. Just didnt feel like waiting any longer to get one lol.
The orchid gray one ( which is more purple or mauve) actually looks nice also but its a bit too girly for a man to have in my opinion lol.
The blue is really sexy to see it in person but seems to as hard to get as silver. I would have been okay with a blue one too.

Anyone else notice that cases take the paint off the corners? I have 2 wear marks on mine already. Had it a month.
I got the maple gold and it looks really good, I prefer it over the orchid grey and the dull black color. I wanted Corel blue but it wasn't in stock, so went with this and no regret.

The color does not matter - as long as it is black ?
Whatever flies for you, mine are black. Always.
I went for orchid grey, had black phones since the s4 and liked the grey so thought the change will be nice. No regrets yet

Dang, that was my main concern with the black. The silver frame around the silver and orchid grey seem more durable and hide more wear. Black is beautiful but shows everything.
If I ever have to choose, I will always go for Orchid Grey. It is classy, unique and sophisticated color. Good part is front is black for all colors so making choice is quite easy and will mostly depend on person taste rather then force decision like with LG G6.

Which color do you like the most?

Which one is your favourite?
Mirror Black. Glass is something new & better imo, (antennas) and if it's glass, don't make it to look like metal.
Not too fussed as it'll be thrown in a case and I'll not see it again until I sell it on ebay next year lol. I would prefer the Midnight Black though as it'll likely show less dirt and finger print smudges than the shiny Mirror finish version.
Midnight Black, the mirror black is only a fingerprint magnet.
Midnight Black, as it's the only one with 256GB of storage. But I'm getting a full body case as soon as I can anyway, so it doesn't really matter.
I pre-ordered mine in midnight black
in case of Midnight black, wouldn't keep asking you if its metallic of mirror?
The white looks lovely....
Midnight, I really like its low profile elegance.
Last year seen a bit too much of glossy glass backs.
Dual tone looks good in glass, but single tone black is not appealing for me.
Midnight has a certain moderate gloss in bright light which I like a lot

First time I'm actually torn between choosing a colour. All three look great to me.
I'm thinking mirror black just because it is said to have oleophobic coating, which would help remove fingerprints quite easily (inadvertent wiping when putting it in your pocket for example).
Im thinking midnight black just because it seems to be the safe choice, most clean/stealthy looking, and it's usually the type of colour I go for when purchasing smartphones.
Silk white because it has this beauty/elegance to it, with the rose gold trim.
I'm probably going to get opinions of friends and family and go from there, just because of how confused I am with the choices lol
The white for me, the should have done a gloss white version also as that would look really nice.
So how long till they start dropping the other colors? Oh wait, once everyone has already bought the device....just like always lol

I would like top get mirror black, glass with any extra cover and minimum 256gb storage.
I do not understand why they cannot make 256gb version in any color.
However, oneplus retarded enough not to put cheap wireless charging coil under glass back cover.
Now I will have to buy external wireless charging coil !!

The results are in, and it seems it is a split between midnight black and silk white. Virtually no one recommended I get the mirror black because of fingerprints being visible all the time.
They also reminded me I'm a case person so that would end up hiding the gloss finish as well lol (given I don't use a clear case).
I'm still torn between the colours, but hey, at least it's now between two colours!
Silk white..... I am going to put a dbrand skin on it anyways, but when I don't have a skin on it I want it to be something that shows no fingerprints.
I went with mirror black because everyone else is buying midnight Black. ?
One a serious note, it won't really matter as the back will be covered by iron man case. ?
Plus, I can show off that mirror back when I want by just removing the case on special occasions. Haha ?
I liked the silk white, yesterday at the popup I got the midnight black - the back really hides fingerprints well - nothing like the reflective clear mirror black.
Midnight because of 256GB of storage, but I grabbed the nylon case too.
I got mine...
Mirror Black...
It's beautiful and the smudges wipe off very easily.
The coating oleophobic is very good this time...

Bronze or black?

Hello. I want to make an order. And want to ask what colour you choose?
It it that mystic bronze is a little bit pink colour?
What you think about it?
Samsung stupid. Only the boring black gets the most memory. It was the same with the last note. If you wanted the 512 you couldn't get it with the CD color. I wanted the 512 but I don't want to be stuck with a boring black phone so I opted for the 128gb. It's ok, I have a 512gb card so it's no big deal. to me, i'd rather have the color and change the storage cap than have to toss on a tacky fake carbon fiber decal.
Also, I was hoping they'd bring back the grey from the s20 or give us that green from the note 20.
I prefer black. I wish all of them were matte though.
For this much $$$ the 512GB Ultras should be ceramic black. I owned both the regular black and ceramic S10+. If you wanted the gargantuan 1TB you had to get it. Ceramic back is amazing and super durable. If it were possible to (affordably) make it optically clear for the screen side there would literally be no need for any screen protector...

The bronze looks a lot pink to me, I'm pretty sure the designer just wanted a phone that matched their nail polish.
I went with bronze. I love black phones, and I was determined to get one this year, since I haven't had one since the Note 8. But then I saw the matte finish on the bronze. And when I saw it in person, it was absolutely gorgeous, so I couldn't pass it up.

Agree. I am a little disappointed really. I've had a couple people see my phone and thought it was pink.
Yeah I went with bronze bc I'll admit it... iPhone 11 pros look good in that matte finish...

Question Which color are you buying?

The Galaxy Z Flip 4 is available in four colors
&
Bespoke Edition colors
I let the associate at the t-mobile store pick for me, she went with pink. I think it'll look cool
I have the blue
I aint had nothing but black since I rocked the original Razor V3 flip phone back in 2004, and like they say, "once you go black you can't ever go back!"!! I do remember have one old Samsung phone that was some sort of black camo though, I dunno what that counts as but it sure aint white!!! Ha! Ha! Damn I'm killing it tonight!! LOL!!
But seriously speaking of the Motorola Razr check this out..........
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 vs. Motorola Razr 2022: Which foldable phone could win?
Here's how the two newest foldable flip phones compare
www.tomsguide.com
I got Blue but was very tempted for the Pink. Graphite is so generic I try to switch it up.
I got the blue, love this colour.
That is a weird shade of purple but it suits the phone aesthetic. I went for the Pink Gold and I can't wait for it to arrive. i have the galaxy watch5 coming as well for free as part of the deal
I got the blue, which is a very light blue. Almost seems white in some light.
If I had to reorder the phone I'd get the bespoke edition, with a dark frame and the blue panels. The blue metal frame has slits which are more noticeable than I expected. It's a fine looking phone in any combo.

Yes those bespoke combos are nice, I had a time deciding but I can get cases to change the look up if I need so went neutral (sort of)
I had a Z Flip3 5G in the dark green, which I really liked. The only possible choice for the Flip4, though, was Graphite - the other colors were just too feminine for my tastes. But then I'm old...
I ordered the Bora Purple and it'll be delivered by tomorrow! I'm coming from OnePlus 10 Pro and fed up with the brand and returning to Samsung which I was using before...
Well I thought I ordered black (or graphite actually) and they sent me a pink gold, but I put my old black case from my flip 3 on it so you can't tell anyway! lol! I am kind of digging the gold trim though and my old case had a gold/copperish ring on it and some gold looking rivets so I must say it does look kind of snazzy even though it is pink underneath!! I think I need to slap a little more gold looking ring on that case though to get that gold flow going a little better! Actually the pink is so light it looks more like off white cream color to me (except in a dimly lit room maybe) and after going to the website and looking at the colors available if anything the purple looks more like a pink to me!!! LOL!!

It really makes no difference to me as I always fit a case to my phones. Ended up with graphite as that's what they had in stock.
Bora Purple and team it up with Watch 4 classic and bora purple buds 2 pro!
Bespoke red + black frame. The red is... reddish, or bright red in the direction of orange/salmon. Came with the transparent Samsung case. I'd rather have some crimson, but I'm fine with this color too. The case is not as grippy and I'd prefer more sticky texture, but fine for the time being
I choose Bora Purple as I think that's the hero color here in my country
