White vs Black

What you guys think??? pros and cons on black vs white galaxy s 2

Its just a difference of color..but one thing I can think of is that white may show more obvious blemishes over time where as black is less noticeable.

One is darker than the other

The white has a glossy back. With that you can install ghost armor on it to protect it from getting blemishes.

the white version is gonna get dirty really easily..the back cover is rubberised plastic..all kinda crap will stick to that

There are no pros or cons. It is just a color and a personal preference. I doubt anybody here has both to tell you both sides so pick your favorite color.
There is enough hate in the world. Why can't we all get along here ...?

Someone traded me there black galaxy s2 and $200 for my white one last week. I guess the colors are a big deal to some people. I thought they were crazy but i'm not stupid. I took that deal.

Wow, that's a come up right there. They must of really want the white one. I want one too, but I wouldn't give more than $50 and only because mine is a month older.

Got a Red/clear TPU case on it.

That's incorrect. I'm holding my white handset right now and the back is smooth plastic. It isn't rubberized like, for example, the G2x.
The advantage is that stuff won't stick to it, the disadvantage is that it tends to feel slippery.
Some observations people might be interested in - it's a pearl white color with the silver accents (including the earpiece grill and camera lens) The backlight from the touch sensitive buttons tends to bleed which cheapens the look ever so slightly but then again, I have then turned off using the Screenfilter widget. Still though, it's a sharp looking handset and I've received positive comments from co-workers.

I have both and for some reason the white model has like a yellow tint to the screen. I hate it. My vote is black. Although I think the black one would look neat with the chrome bezel the white one has.

I really liked the white one and wanted to keep it but that was to good of a deal to pass up.

I had the Black one and now I have the White and the one thing I notice is that if you look at the top of the Black phone, on the bezzel, theres a sticker there that says Qualcomm 3G and on the White one it says Qualcomm 4G. Not sure exactly why they did that..
Other then that, the White one feels more responsive and smoother. Maybe they fixed all the bugs from the black ones.
The vibrent screen with the White back drop looks stunning.
The bezzel on the White one has a polished aluminum look which I personally think looks better then the Chrome. But thats just me... To much chrome can look bad sometimes.

I personally think white looks more feminine. But that is just me, and not that it is bad. Same goes with the white sunglasses that I have seen.

use it for 2more months and we'll see if it "turns" black

The only difference I can think of would be an effect on the camera, kinda like the problem the i-apple had

White Battery Cover

Hey guys, found this on ebay:
I was originally searching for a custom back cover some of the Google employees got.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-Ba...ccessories&hash=item3cbda658d5#ht_2449wt_1180
Seller says its "original" (wtf)
Think its worth it/looks nice?

oh heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeell no

Is that the Verizon one?
I need to learn my different models...
Anyway, a 3rd party back plate may be problematic with the tabs. Probably crappier material and I can see the tabs snapping off.
You could always spray paint it yourself...
Galaxy Nexus - 4.0.3 CM9
Asus Transformer - 3.2 Revolver

It's for GSM, I'd like to try it actually, but the price is the same of a case from a reputable manufacturer, to pull or not to pull.''
What makes me curious is why it has white logos, instead of something like gray.(full invert of the real battery cover)

Well the prongs all seem to match up.. who's going to pull the trigger?

my guess with it saying "original" and having logos same shade as the rest of it is that it is an official back cover from samsung... just painted...

I'd like a custom backplate too, but that white does not match AT ALL with the rest of the Gnex.
Why would anyone do that? It looks terrible.

Maybe with certain white cases, it'll match up, shrug.
But given the seller's rating, I'd say it's legit - just seems overpriced for a flimsy piece of plastic.

Because they're original white because there making the the phone in white already is my guess. I would a got it in white

That is OEM and has the Google logo like the grey one and the Samsung logo...looks nice on the White Galaxy Nexus, not so much on the Grey one
You can't see either logo with the light they have, but it's there

it's not original, the original has the serial number engraved at the bottom, whiles this is near the middle on the right hand side, it seems like it was made from the same manufacturer as those metalic silver one that were on sale before in ebay, the connectors were in the wrong place, but this time, the white one has the connectors in the right place, and upto now i haven't hear of any white gnex, so I think why would a white cover surface before the actual phone.
I wont say a white gnex will never be in production in the near future, just that it's strange a cover comes out of nowhere.

A GSM Galaxy Nexus was hard enough to obtain in the states, now we're talking ablut a white version?
Any case/carbon skin combo this would look nice with? Just want to make my device stand out a bit.

I had a metalic cover it had both the google and samsung name, it doesn't fit, the pins are in the wrong place, many members also got the one i purchase, and we all got a refund.

yes they are, but it seems like it was made from the same company, as the engraving of the serial number is in the same place at the middle right, oem ones are at the bottom.

I'm not really into cases, but would you think a certain color of carbon fiber skin would look nice with this battery door?

you can just spray paint it if you want. wont harm anything at all.

Never done this before, I definitely don't want to screw it up and get a bad finish or something.

A white battery door, personally I think would look out of place. Now I'm debating on how difficult the phone actually is to dissect, and hoping to wrap the housing in some sort of white vinyl.

White Galaxy Nexus Unboxing [Video]

The White Galaxy Nexus is now available on NegriElectronics for a cool $651.50. I'm personally still waiting for a stateside release for the warranty, but here's a video of the unboxing of a white one I found.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdb-QTx_jjI
UPDATE: Much better video now on Engadget, here's the link: http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/13/white-galaxy-nexus-hands-on-a-taste-of-vanilla-flavored-ice-cre/
Worth it? For the price, you can get the CAN Version with the extended battery and cover...
EDIT: Woohoo! This thread was featured on Droid-Life : http://www.droid-life.com/2012/02/13/video-white-galaxy-nexus-gets-brief-unboxing/#more-61225

Only you can decide if its worth it. Its $52 more than the grey version from Negri. That's the price of an extended battery + cover.
Also, there are already many threads on this lol.

No audio. It's the same phone, just different colors.

hard to tell but it looks like it has a smooth cover instead of textured. Might make it easier for those who want to put back protection on it like a zagg.

Wish they made the front white too.

thats what I thought at first too, but when you consider that the UI is very dark and the top/bottom bars are completely black, it plays better with a black bezel as you can't really tell where the UI starts and the bezel ends.

Completely agree . I like white in front too bit in the end it does end up looking better cause of the ui.

I'll wait for the 32GB version instead.

I'll just wait for the white rear housing to hit ebay or parts4repair.com and swap it onto my current phone.

I actually think the black-grey-white combo could look nice.

Looks pretty nice. Really wish they'd make a 32GB GSM version though.
I liked they put a North Americian power charger in there. Gah, I hate my Euro charger with the adapter, such a PITA it comes unplugged all the time.

I will be ALL over this once CDMA drops.

Well I'd imagine they will offer the white battery door cover as well. They currently have this combo available for the standard GSM Nexus for $36:

I'd imagine the white rear housing and battery door will be similar in price.

This seems like a much simpler alternative to what I was originally going to do. Can't wait to see if it shows up there.

Updated with new video (much better thankfully).

Incepio Father case in white?

Hey all. Just wanted to know if anyone knows if there is an incepio feather case in white? I have the white e4gt and would like the matching case. My brother has the black one for his black e4gt and i thought it was great when i tried it on mine, just the color didn't go with it (not a fan of mix and match with inverted colors). If anyone knows of one, let me know thanks.

you should try the grey one. it looks pretty good imo.

Yeah thats what I would've gone for. But I think its a bit too dark to compliment my phone. A pure white case may have been too much, but a very light grey would have done it for me. The incipio one is a bit too dark for my taste.

I'd suggest getting the light grey feather then do minor sanding then paint/seal it.

What color did you get?

Hi guys!
I am torn between the silver and the black version. Almost all my phones have been black, I had only one silver until now .
I really love the look of my black Note 7, wondering if the V30 will look the same...
So, if anyone got the black version, how do you like it, is it really glossy, how does it compare with a black S/Note Samsung phone?
Thank you !

Bought through T-Mobile so I didn't have a choice. They only have silver. I would have loved to have had that blue. I personally wouldn't do black for fear of it heating up faster if I have it on my dash for navigation. If you never have your phones where they can heat up and hit their thermal cut, black looks great.

No. I'm guessing the only people with them in the US are using imported or LG issued versions at the moment. Are any of the carriers even stocking that color in the US?

It seems that AT&T has it : https://www.att.com/cellphones/lg/v30.html#sku=sku8510584

Ah, my bad. For some reason I was thinking the blue. But no, I still haven't seen the black one either. I just know my V20 in grey was having enough thermal issues on my dash this summer and couldn't imagine what would have happened if it were black. I was also running streaming audio and maps out of it at the same time though but I don't think the dark color in sun helped me any.

Got my black one on the way. Will be here tomorrow!

Eagerly waiting to hear your thoughts !

I have mine in black. Most of my phones have been black so I thought I wouldn't like another black one, but for what it's worth, it's a very pretty black. Probably does show fingerprints more than other colors however.

I've had mine from tmo since Friday. I ordered Thurs Oct 5th (called in) and the rep gave me overnight shipping. So have had the only color offered. Silver. I really wanted blue! but not available. It is EXACTLY like the G6 just a little larger and smaller bezels.:laugh:

It is glossy. But I love the look of it. I wouldn't say it even feels like glass, more like plastic. Mines going back because it's got a dead pixel on screen so that's annoying.

No choice, silver. Looks good though. I have a Dbrand on the way that I might not use. Silver looks good.

I think that's the first actual "live" shot I've seen of the black. Man it looks sleek. The beast in the background looks cool too.

I wanted the black one but T-Mobile only carried the silver. I'm starting to like it as I use no case. It doesn't show the fingerprints as much as the black model, which I looked at in (I think) was an AT&T store.
