Saw two articles on this today. Apparently a couple of photos of a black S3 are floating around. Kinda interesting but at the same time at certain angles/lighting conditions the pebble blue can look black.

Though I originally wanted a black S3, I doubt I would switch from the pebble blue if it ever makes it to Sprint.

I must admit, I too wanted a black s3 at first, but once I purchased the pebble blue and a case for it, I realized I probably wouldn't even notice the difference.
In all but bright light the blue might as well be black to my eyes... I would normally have preferred black as well... I'm a basic black kind of guy generally... but in this case, I barely can tell mine isn't black anyway... helps them I'm a morlock and rarely see the light of day I suppose

Still pretty skeptical of those articles. I think it's a blue Galaxy in a light that makes it look black.

*snaps fingers kicks dust*
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

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.

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

Does it get dirty on the actual phone or the case?

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.

Im going with Grey if i decide to get one. The white is nice but i get phones too dirty and the gray will hold the color better.

I think white is more elegant!
Grey is more elegant.
I preordered the grey one.

Thanks guys for your feedback. It's going to be Grey.
How does everyine feel about thier color choice?
I picked the blue, only because I didn't want a white phone. But I'm planning to take it back today in exchang of a white one. The blue one seems to look purple in certain lighting. Indigo at best. Fluorescent lighting is a big problem in this regard, but even in incandescent lighting the home button still looks quite purple.
For me this is a game of which color I don't want, the least.

I purchased the white, and am considering switching to blue xD
Mines about to have a case on it for protection.. So color really don't matter to me..
However, if i could have gotten a Garnet one (ATT has them) i would.. I'm a die hard FSU fan =0)~
I prefer my blue phone to the white one but I'd rather have a good old black brick. Eh, I stuffed it in an Otterbox but that blue bezel that still shows annoys me at times.
The white version, is extremely sexy in the white ballistics case though
I wanted black but we don't have that option so I got blue.

got blue cuz i was tired of all my white iPhone 3G/4/4S and Galaxy S2, but honestly i wouldve preferred the Brown or Red. I think the color choices are kinda weak, the shade of blue and red aren't the best, i never thought i would've preferred the brown phone!.
Ok. I got the white one now. And I actually like it!
I've been sarcastically referring to it as my iGS3. Also on account of the dislikable home button. You know, the one that should have been a softkey. If I didnt get this thing for just $50 I would have reached for the LG with the quad core instead.
That reminds me, you are all going to see sooo many noobs in here now because of that deal. I already see lots of "help I bricked my phone" posts. Lol.

I'm super happy with the Pebble Blue I got. I have a ton of cases for it and the blue seems like the best color compliment to most of them.

This is obviously a question for users with Titanium Grey version. But I'm just wondering what color is your home button? Mine is more of a dark burgundy color than grey. I didn't notice it when I first got my phone. But now I'm wondering that since I didn't notice it at first, and now I do notice it.. I'm hoping that the color is not slowly fading.

Mine is grey
At first glance, mine is grey. If I inspect it at close range, under a bright light, it has a hint of burgundy! (I've had mine for about a month, and would not have noticed this if it were not for your post.) Time will tell if it changes...
I am fully colorblind and have no idea. Colors are so hard for me to discern I dont even try anymore.

Those of you saying Grey, try again, holding your phone about two inches from a bright, non fluorescent bulb. Mine looks very Grey until you inspect closely under bright light.

Under some lighting it does have a burgundy tinge to it
Last time I checked it was (still) grey...
Mine turns white if I stare at the sun prior to looking at it.
Is anyine else seeing that? (Seriously, don't stare at the sun, it can ruin your whole day)

Whites look perfectly white to me, in fact mine are the opposite. My N4 has a yellowish tinge to its whites while my n7 does not.

Hm.. It might be because my Nexus 4 screen has a custom color profile? It doesn't bother me that much but side by side it's definitely noticeable
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4
Wait nvm idek it looks dull on low lights but like 50+ it looks okay I mean the nexus 4 definitely looks writer but the n7 doesn't look to bad, should I return it? The volume down is like so much less clicky then the other buttons and there's a little bit of light bleed, is that worth returning?

My first one had very white whites...the replacement for it (dead pixels issue)...not very white whites. The displays definitely vary significantly in color temp.

Hmm.. Maybe I'll return it, cause it's got a couple more minor things other than the whites

Are you guys talking about the whites in a browser page or the whites in video.
The whites in my browser page do look quite white.
The whites in videos look a little yellow.
So for my unit, that looks like a color calibration choice/issue for the video decoding process.

I been through about 4 of these things and the one I have is about the best yet, my 16 gig nexus was great my 32 gigs so many flaws. the one I received today. has serious white issues, playing big buck the bunny side by side the white has a pink hue, my current one with minor light bleed looks way better. this one I received today has deeper blacks but the pink hue looks so horrible. it's definatly a issue. I have a S4 and my current N7 looks spot on with whites. I just wish the halo light bleed wasn't there.
