So i'm debating between white and grey; in the store I tend to prefer the white due to contrast the white border makes with the display (on the surface it seems to make the display stand out) but i prefer the grey because it makes the buttons (at bottom) more visible and seems more stealthy. I'm curious if folks who purchased the grey one end up wishing for the white and conversely those who purchased the white if you end up wishing for the grey and why ?
(only other thing I could think that might be material is if the white creates more flare for the camera)
If you look at official pictures of the 5x and the official announcement video found here the grills are clearly black(which I like because it makes the phone look one color). However, on other videos and pictures for example this one you can see the grills look silver.
Is it the lighting or do the white and mint colors have different colored speakers? Anyone have a definite idea?

Both are black the speakers just appear to be not as deep a black as the front because the front is made of different material then the speakers grill. Glossy black for the body and more matte black for the body. Lighting also will effect how deep the blacks look.
hey guys,
I received my OP3 on friday and it has very unequal light emission. in the middle of the screen there is an approx. 1 centimeter thick line which is darker. it is only recognizable at dark colors like grey blue etc.
Does anybody have the same issue with the screen?
is this normal or should I send it back?
Thanks
pics below (in real it is way more darker)

Pretty sure I don't have this - if I do it's too subtle to notice.
It's quite clear on your one, so it looks like an actual issue.
Send it back to the company.
Obviously it's a matter of preference, but I'm really struggling between white and black. The blue is nice as well, but I wish it was more metallic like the xz1 blue.
The white with silver/aluminum edges and same button really looks nice. But then, ppl r saying black helps look less chunky and the bezels don't stand out as much.
BTW, anyone know why some black models have black power button, while others have silver?
Please share opinions.
I thought all black models have a black power button, where did you find black model with silver power button?
Coming from the beautiful white Z5C, the XZ1C white model was the first color I looked at, but was disappointed to find that it isn't really white, it's more silver, which cheapens the feel IMO.
I also think the silver power button a bit jarring on the blue and red models, had they been uniform in color, it would have made my choice a lot more difficult.
Ultimately, I found the black model to be the most elegant. I really loved the black power button color scheme, and also appreciated that this time around the black is really black, not some shade of gray.
The polished chamfered frame on the top and bottom looks very nice in black, just subtle enough for a display of sophistication. In comparison, I find it a bit too shiny on the blue and red models, and it just feels bland on the silver model.
Another reason I went in favor of the black model is because of all the large sensors this phone is equipped with, having a black body helps reduce their presence and blends in nicely. It's especially apparent on the other colors, and I can't help but notice their existence.
In summary, Sony made it very easy for me to choose the black model over the other color options.

Aah, just went back to the video I saw on YouTube, the guy switched between xz1 compact and x compact, in different shots, didn't catch the switcheroo.
I actually would have preferred black with silver/metallic button. I'm assuming that would've added to premium look.

The XZ1C's black power button does appear metallic, and subjectively I think it's much better than silver, and fits perfectly with the black body.
My wife had a black Z5C, it has a silver power button on a black frame, so I've seen and lived with my share of the silver on black combo, it's okay but doesn't strike me as more premium.
I was really drawn to the black on black scheme when I first saw the black XZ1C in person, it's very exotic in its own way, not to mention it's the only model that has a matching color power button.
Well, arguably the silver button on the white model matches too, but... it feels so run of the mill, very meh, works but boring.
There is no white color in XZ1c, it's silver and it's nice (my colleague has it).
I've taken the Horizon Blue which is more green than blue but I like it.
IMHO a black one is the ugliest this time (and I have always had black phones including Compacts)
I went with the "Twilight Pink" option since I had the Red Z3 Compact and I like the bold colour of the Z3C.
I find the name of the colour to be a bit misleading. To me, it looks more orangey than pink. Probably a bit closer to raw salmon, where it's closer to red / orange and not yet pink.
The only thing I would have liked Sony to keep would be the colour of the front glass. In all the older models, the front bezels were all black. The XZ1 Series started a new trend where the front bezel follows the colour of the body (not too sure about the XZ Premium).
Hi,
Got the black one and all I can say, it's really black and for my point of view, it's really elegant and classy.
All the buttons are black, and when the screen is off, it's looks like a black monolith : elegant.

Same here! I have black one and love its professional looking. I like the looks when the screen off, the device is one black bar. And when the screen on, the navigation bar at the bottom disappear and blends in to the black bezel. Gotta say the LCD quality of XZ1c is so high that the black is very close to AMOLED black, even in the no light environment.
I ended up choosing to go with black one. Gotta say, made the right choice; and the comments about black monolith and classy, right on point. That's what I love most about this device. 2001 space Odyssey quality monolith - I feel like I'm holding something prescious and amazing in hand.
I got the black one today. It really is stunning. It's a high quality black that i've never seen any other vendor other than Sony pull off. Pictures don't do it justice.
I got the black one and think it's beautiful, but I would've definitely grabbed a fully white model if there was one.
Loving my horizon blue...almost mint.
I have the "white silver" one. Yeah, the name is misleading, it's not white at all.
And it's not exactly silver either. It's more of a metallic gray. I was hoping it was shinier, like the paint on the Samsung GS7 silver version.
I still like how it looks though. It gives the phone an industrial look akin to HTC's M7.
I can't decide if I should go black or blue. I'm thinking black for all reasons listed. Blue is my favorite color, but the phone looks more aqua than the blue xz1. It's "lagoon" blue vs horizon blue
Hello Guys,
I know everyone should just buy the phone that he likes the most and choose whatever color he likes, but I am having a real hard time deciding between the Cosmic Black and the Cosmic Grey S20+.
The problem is I cannot go and check by myself in the store, so I can only rely on internet pictures. My sister bought me a black one this week as a gift, but I kinda like the grey color too. She still can replace it, as it is still sealed.
Actually I am using an S8+ Midnight Black and my question is : Is the S20 series Cosmic Black as deep as the S8 Midnight Black ? If it's a litte bit lighter that would be awesome, like a very dark grey. I just want to know if there is any contrast between the camera module and the rest of the phone's back ? That's actually the reason I am tempted by the grey, because of that contrast, but I find it too much in the grey version.
Anyway, could anyone post some pics of his Cosmic Black S20+ witth the most realistic color possible? The ideal is a picture of an S8+ and S20+ backs next to each other (in black). I know it's too much asked
Cosmic grey pictures will be also welcomed.
Sorry for my bad english, hope you understand my hesitation.
Thanks a lot guys,
Best regards,
Taieb
So i tried to take 2 pictures. One outside with natural light and one inside with a lamp. Honestly both looks really bad and don't capture the color but i also attached 2 photos from my carriers website. I think they are actually quite good so look at them too. Alternatively just go on YouTube and search for both phones.
S20 series Cosmic Black is the same real black like on S8+ Midnight Black. I got the Cosmic Black because it's better. I would keep the Black because of the black frame.
