White Galaxy S2

My order just came in and here are some pics. Sent by Samsung Vibrant.
For all the other people that have received one, does anyone notice that their menu lights have an illuminating affect around it? It doesn't look as clean as the black ones because it just doesn't glow in on the menu icons but all around it.

Yes i notice that on my friends white sgs2..light leakage perhaps?? Or the fact that its white led simply reflecting off the white colored casing of the phone?

I just got my white one too, haven't seen anything wrong with it other than the buttons glowing thing but I'm going to try that test thing for the lines and blobs. I really hope I don't have it

No lines or blobs on mine. The white looks real good and gets a lot of attention. The back has a real nice gloss to it as well.

Looks awesome! Shame that they had to place the Samsung on the bottom, always looks so cramped for you T-Mobile Users.

Looks like it is. Its a nice change from the soft black cover. I can't wait to get the white parts now!
It'll definitely be a new phone for sure. Just hope the white LED screens don't have the lines/blobs the black ones do.

It had it, too bad.

Yeah, Tmobile stopped putting headsets at the beginning of the month. You would think that a $600 phone would come with one. I'm glad I bought mine on release because mine came with one and they are really nice.
I'm jealous now, I want the white version!

I can make out the lines on the screenshot of the phone keypad. Really hard to notice since the sticker is in the way and the brightness isn't low enough, but it's there.

Just got mine today I notice the screen isn't as crisp as it should be I owned the Droid charge and everything just popped on this it looks kinda wash like the motorola displays nothing like the charge. It is the same display isn't it? When the screen is off I can clearly see a foggy residue under the screen.

Wish they would have released the white version with the black version so I could have gotten that one instead. I love my SGS II regardless of it's color but the white version is a real attention-grabber.

Damn, that's pretty f'n sweet..!! Not like that bull**** Droid Razr with just white on the sides. FAIL!!

Trying to get mine through Tmobile retentions but apparently they are out of stock of the black and white with no estimate on new ones coming in... Sad.

Wish I had waited. I am guessing that the material of the device is not solid enough to stop the light from shinning through. I don't think its a problem, but if it is you can contact Customer Care and they might have some idea on whats going on. Dude, you have a White SGSII which almost everyone here is pissed about not having. Be happy!

[POLL] White VS Blue

Which color did you buy: Marble white or pebble blue?
Curious to see how our poll results will differ from the international poll (where blue is leading by ~11%)

never been a fan of white myself and have always chosen black. I don't have one yet (waiting for stock) but that blue looks damn fine in my opinion. I bet the white looks awesome as well but I like the darker color.

Same here - really wanted black, but went with white because I didn't much like the fake brushed-metal pattern on the blue and its purplish home button. Nothing a case can't mostly hide, though.

White. Not even a debate.

I got the blue and my GF got the white.
The back of the white looks better.
The front is a toss up... they both look lovely... until one of the capacitive or notification LEDs lights up on the white phone.
The white version has light leak around the leds... makes it look cheap.
I would recommend blue + aftermarket back

I want the blue and voted for it but I saw a white and black case on a white model and it looked pretty darn good. I think it was a case-mate case. If they have a white one available, then I'll decide then. Either way, a case is going on it, so really, what does it matter?

Peebble blue with Samsung blue Flip case looks very professional. Im loving it.

Ordered and received Blue (read: butt ugly purple) and hated it... It's a blue'ish purple, the back cover is a different color and the button is a different color... This thing has 3 different shades of blue / purple on it... Really Samsung??
Posted an ad on Craigslist in LA for a trade and actually found someone! Woohoo.. Now I have white and am pleased..
If the blue was all one color it might look better but the 3 different shades makes it one of the ugliest looking things I have ever seen... Hope they fix it and devices manufactured later won't suffer from it..

really? your capacitive buttons only show the back/menu images in darkness? stand with your phone in a dark room and tell me the buttons aren't 3x brighter than the screen. they don't dim which is pretty annoying.

First off... They should have offered Black. Which is what I would have wanted. I chose white because the blue didn't appeal to me at all.. I like the non-visible buttons, doesn't show scratches or fingerprints as easily, and i've always had an easy time reselling white phones.. Either way I love the phone, and look forward to modding the hell out of it. Already had several Apple sheep admit their jealousy..

The more I use my phone in different light, the more I realize I have a purple phone. The back is the most blue part, but the sides and front are straight up purple in most light, especially natural light. I have also noticed that, in certain light, the front of the phone is the same exact color as the home button. It still looks very nice and, imo, much better than white. I would have chosen black if it was available. Imagine this thing in black chrome instead of purple chrome. Drool.

Bluuue

Got the blue. Would rather have black. The blue is growing on me......

White vs. Black

So, i cant choose between the black galaxy nexus and the white one. I want you to share your experience and recommend me. I personally think that white is more beautiful, but im worrying that it would turn yellowish in time. Just, help me out here.

It's difficult to advise you on something this subjective, but just know that the decision is never set. You can buy the white housing on eBay and switch for cheap. If you're on the fence, I'd get the white, because the grey housing is much cheaper on eBay. That way it's easier to switch if need be. Personally, I got the grey because I already have a white iPhone.

wow guys, you are mega helpful. Ofcourse i would buy the white one, cuz i like it more, but what if i regret it cuz the white disturbs me while watching movies or it changes color in time. Thats why i asked your recommendations. Its really annoying to see how some people here are so naive and fierce.

Relax, I was playing with you. But think about your question here. You know with white electronics there's always a chance it will fade to yellow over time, so there's really nothing we can tell you that you don't already know.
Like white? Get white (I bet it's gorgeous). If not, get the standard color, it's a great phone.

I wish I could help you, but I haven't personally used the white version (or any white phone, ever).
To those telling the poster it's entirely subjective are ignoring one of his main questions:
Does the white Galaxy Nexus change color over time? For example, like the original NES's tendency to yellow. I don't find it likely, depending on the quality of plastic and dyes used, but I don't know the answer personally. I do know that most lighter colored plastics, particularly the more cheaply made ones, do tend to discolor over time. I can say I agree with the poster above me, pictures of the white Galaxy Nexus do indeed make it look good, and it stands out from all of the grey ones.
As far as whether the white disturbs you while watching videos or anything like that, that kind of question is definitely one that only you can answer for yourself. Sorry that I can't be more help.

Thanks for the constructive answer now. And please dont play with the newbies

I have the white and it looks amazing, If you want the oem extended battery, then get the black bc there is no white battery cover. I end up buying an extra oem battery as an alternative option.

I've never even seen a white Galaxy Nexus in real life. Don't think they are available in Sweden.

Does Sprint have the white galaxy nexus?

I like the white one personally. If you are scared about keeping it white, just get a case to keep it protected. I plan on using an otterbox case when I take it to work to keep it clean, and just using a white tpu bumper to protect it otherwise.

Was there two days ago, they do not.

Buy which ever one, white or black
And then go on amazon or eBay and buy the white/black housing and swap em out when u feel a change of color.

White 32gb Light Bleed? With pic.

I've now had about 6 of the white gs3 from t-mobile. I have had 1 16gb (it didn't have bleed). The other 5 (32gb) has had this bleed from the buttons in some way. It's worse in person than in pictures, but you can get an idea.
I've also had one where you could see the insides of the phone from an improper seal where the screen meets the bottom by the lights (screen meeting white trim).

Am I the only person to notice this? I'm pretty picky, but this (especially the right one) is totally unacceptable. Video or a dark background at night makes it stick out like a sore thumb.

The one on the bottom, you're being a little picky. The one on the side is legitimate...but why not just turn off the LEDs and save yourself some hassle?

I agree, if I was paying for a $700 device I would want it perfect. I get mine (White 32gb) Friday and will report my findings. I have a strong feeling i'm gonna go back to blue.

How have you had so many GS3's? I'm not shocked though because this was discussed to no end when the phone was first released. I'm sure they could have prevented this by using a dark film underneath the screen with a masked cut out for the menu and back keys. But what do I know about manufacturing. Maybe they see this as a bonus feature?

I never saw it discussed. I'll have a blue tomorrow and see if that has it like the white's do. If not, I'll stay with the blue. I'd rather have a purple button than light bleeding.

You're not going to have that problem with the blue one, If I'm right I think most white phones has the same problem, I know my friends white skyrocket has it.

Yikes... That's a nasty light bleed

I noticed this on my white GS2 as well but I got the blue for my GS3. My wife has the white but it doesn't look that bad to me.
I think this is a tough problem to conquer for everyone. Remember how long the white IP4 was delayed?

Yea i think all the white ones will ultimately have it to some degree. The skyrocket also has it and so does the sgh-t989 (white model) the dark colored phones such as black and blue kind of hide this.....i have a white one and mine bleed but im not returning it because of that that is just a little to anal. Now if the screen was bleeding then thats a different story. Il tell u what though id love to make them brighter somehow! My T989 keys were super bright

I don't find it about being anal though. I can't stand distractions like these. Playing a game or watching a movie and there's the bleed! Knowing that something is wrong with a $700 device drives me crazy.

Now, there is no official word from Samsung and it could just be the lighting causing it to look black. But could also be a hint that its coming. I think a black S3 would look pretty awesome, id be pissed though since i already got my pebble blue version.

Ok, now I'm pissed. I wanted black from the start.

I would have taken black as well. Not, saying Blue isn't nice, but shiny black is like eye candy to me.

I've actually grown fond of the Pebble Blue.

I see some blue in there. I don't know......

Looks like a lighting effect. Look at the color where it is closest to the white phone, it is reflecting blue.

Either way black would have been my color choice instead of this white one.

Thats Fuuu!! I wanted black. pebble blue is kinda meh.

If you look closely at the besel it is blue

If the phone was black there wouldnt be such a big difference between the screen and the bezel, especially in a press photo. Would have been chill though

I'd trade my 32 GB blue for a 16 GB black. . . lol

Meh.. black is cool but very common. I bought the pebble blue version (happy!!)

It's clearly a pebble blue model with a colored screen protector, you can tell by the bezel.

was just up at the att store returning a case and from far away i saw what appeared to be a black s3...only to walk up closer and see it was the blue one. it genuinely looked like the one in the picture. my guess this is just bad lighting

I think the Pebble Blue is a great color. Love it. Have a very well installed screen protector and one of those soft cases with the Android Guy on the back. I also put one of those clips that fold open to slide your fingers thru so you can text with just one hand. Saw it on YouTube and had to have it. $25.00 for that plastic clip but very well made and works great.
