Hi,
I'm wondering how the usability of the white GN is. I've never used a white phone so could you please share whether it gets easily discolored, yellow spots, very scratch prone, etc.?
Thank you.

Usability: same as the gray/titanium one i'd assume?
Color: it's white plastic, I've used it for about 3 months, no scratches, discoloration etc. Listen to me on this one, I'm a girl, I drop everything & use makeup, the white has stayed white.
When used without a case, the phone is quite slippery, however, I'm assuming that's across the board color wise.
I previously used a white tmo sgs2. That also stayed white. The nexus isn't a glossy finish like the back of the s2, so the nexus is much less prone to scratches. This being said, I do have a screen protector on my nexus & usually use a case, however mine has been naked for the past couple of days.
This phone is sexy as hell.

The white has stayed white since I ordered the housing. The grey casing is slightly less slippery because of the battery door.

The white is great. The only heart attack I had was when my blue ink pen started bleeding and I used the phone without realizing. The ink on my hands was still wet so the white had a few nice blue marks all over. Luckily I noticed before it dried and was able to wash it off. Other then that, still pretty white only problem is no white extended battery door.

Looks super sexy, especially since the Titanium Galaxy Nexus has become so commonplace now. The only disadvantage is that it really stands out in a crowd, which I guess is a good thing
Thank you all for the replies. Since I havent used a white phone I was a little worried. Yes the white GN is sexy!
And the apparent racism in the title was totally unintentional..
Now that the Note 2 has been announced, in what colors would you like to see it dressed up?
Officially, so far, 'Marble White' & 'Titanium Grey' have been featured on Samsung's site.
http://www.samsung.com/global/microsite/galaxynote/note2/images.html?type=find
I would like to see it in the GSIII's 'Pebble Blue', or 'Blood Red'.
AFAIK, no limited edition colors have been rumored/announced.
What do potential buyers want?
Lets get some fun discussions going.
I seriously can't decide. I usually hate white phones as I found them too girly, but recently I saw a friend's marble while GS3 and it lookes sooo awesome and premium. But then again, a drawback of the white is that it's so eye-catching, especially with a phone as huge as the note II.

Good idea!

I'll get around to it soon, watching my beloved Cards right now.
I personally like the titanium grey. Reminds me of my gnex.

Ok, poll added.
I chose the two colors from Note 2, four from the GS III as well as a few others.
Lets see what users prefer.
Pre-order in Titanium Grey:victory:
I've prordered a white one...never had a white phone before so it's time to try something else. .
On the contrast I do want my note 2 to stand out.
Just hope that it won't get dirty too easily because of the white colour

I'll probably go with grey, but it's going into a trident case as soon as they release them anyway.
i am hoping for the amber brown version!

i guess I'm gonna buy the white one, with a black flip cover. that way i have my desired black phone, with a fance white inside
Grey, to match my Grey Note 10.1..... :victory:
The titanium grey Will look even better in person just like the pebble blue on the galaxy s3, the white just doesn't appeal to me

Titanium gray. Also those new GS3 colors don't appeal me.

I am having a tough time deciding between which color I should get. Grey or White?
What color have you chosen?
Lol...there is a thread already for this topic in the Q&A section.
Anyways....personally, I'm going for the white one because of three reasons:
1. I have never had a white phone before
2. It looks quite elegant and will definitely stand out more
3. I dont think the grey one will go well with any colour case
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
My s3 is white. I like it a lot but I'm going with the Grey for note 2. It just seems more fitting with its size and more professional at the work place.

I had a Note 1 white with the white flip case......IT GETS DIRTY QUICK. its not that im a messy person, but the dirtiness stands out big time. Plus grey would look more professional.
Imagine walking in the mall by a group of girls with your new white note 2 in ear while drinking a pink zoolander slurpe.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
I have a blue S3 and I'm going with the white most likely, for the simple fact that dust collects in the crack between the screen and the bezel and its super noticeable for me, on white its hardly as apparent, plus I don't need to be professional

Don't mean to offend anyone, or start an argument, but white phones are usually associated with women. The GSIII is an exception, because the other option was blue (who gets that color).

I buy the Grey
I will go with white. It is more elegant, and not a fingerprint magnet. I looked at the blue color of the s3 and found the faux brushed aluminum looks... plasticky, for lack of a better word.

and the purple home button thats why i got white. i will have to see them both :highfive:
Grey, I don't like the black edges on white phones. The effect is bad on my iPhone, probably better on note since it's so big but I'll still go with grey. I don't dislike white, but I'll get grey this time.
Gray all the way.. I got 2 gn1 and had to replace one because some screen defect when upgraded to ICS and the ssc replaced my phone for a new one.. But they didn't have another black and gave me a white one..
White its girly.. I just got home and gave my wife the white and took her black...
And yeah professional looks does matter also... Can't imagine myself on a blue /grey/black tuxedo in the office and getting out of my pocket an extremely big white phone lol..

lol....i used to think that too....but now i don't think so....
There are many other samsung colour that are more girly such as the red and pink
I'd far prefer black, but I just don't like the Grey. The grey looks cheap to me for some reason.
I'm getting white. White is a neutral color, nothing girly about it.
Besides, it'll go in a thin case eventually.

Normally I buy dark phones but I really hated the grey note 2 when I saw it in store. However it's all a matter of taste, you have to see both colors and make your own opinion.

Yeah, I got the white from Newegg after the $30 coupon ($649). Also, go to fatwallet.com, click on cash back, find newegg, and click-through from there to purchase. In about 45 days, you will have an extra (up to) 4% back. Best deal going.
Use the savings to buy a genuine flip cover - this way you get the color you want (minus the front, which is not a big deal at all).

Titanium Gray is more appearing and this is why I am not upgrading to 32 GB version and sticking with my gray 16GB. In my market 32GB note 2 is available but only in white. When I bought my phone there was no 32 GB available. Now it is available but only in white. Had it be gray and I would have upgrade it in blink of an eye but white one looks cheap from bazel and the back. Titanium gray looks cool and different from other regular colors.

Does the white have light leakage on the from bezel buttons like the SII did? That is what steered me to preorder it in grey. Looks more professional IMO.

Where is your market? A 32GB is what I've been looking for. I need one like yesterday.

I got the grey model because, while the white model is gorgeous and eye catching, I think it's novelty of having a white device would fade shortly after or I would get tired of putting it on the table or taking it out in front of people. I don't want to look "metro cool" at work, haha. I just want something classy, which the white is, but it's just not for me. I'm used to having BLACK phones and I'm tired of black phones. So when I saw Samsung has the SGN2 in TITANIUM GREY! I thought "whoopie!" hehe. But to be honest, the white is really nice, but I think in the long run the grey version will serve me better . This is of course 100% an opinion.
any color will do
Thanks, Color doesn't bother me as much, I just need more than 16gb. So there is hope that the 32gb might be in the states sometime. Since there in your area already.
Get a microSD card?
My SIII died and had to be repaired...I lost everything I had stored on internal memory (though I had a backup made days earlier, phew!)
Just a thought
I guess I will. I was hoping for 32g internal and a 64g sd card. But I don't think I can last until it comes over here. But I've waited this long, perhaps one more month will not kill me.
Thanks for your input guys and yes when og note came out I knew right away that I wanted the white one. Now with the note 2 I wasn't sure about whether I wanted the white because I was always attracted to white phones or because it looked better than the grey one. Looking closely at many pics and videos of people actually holding the device upclose I've decided that I will go with the grey one. Two reasons, when I had the white note the slightest scratch on the back was able to be seen and because there's something about those tiny little stripes on the grey one that intrigues me lolll

White phones are designed for people who just care about the looks.
Anyone who is a tiny bit technically competent who never ever put a white bezel around a screen. It is stupid because you lose precious contrast on the gorgeous screen.
Apple should really patent the white bezel so that everyone stop copying it.

And then, my friend bought gray 2 weeks ago.. And i was much more satisfied with the white one... Dont know why... Its a personal matter anyway
