Pebble Blue or Marble White? or..both??

CoronaDoug · May 4th, 2012, 01:09 PM

Ok what color should I get?? I am torn on this...

What would it look like if you got the white one but ordered a blue battery cover? or vice versa?

matttye · May 4th, 2012, 01:11 PM

I like the look of the blue but I'll wait until I see demos in the stores as things always look different in real life.

JunBringer · May 4th, 2012, 01:15 PM

White or GTFO

No black. Just a grayish-blue one and a white one.

Many people around the net are speculating as of late (b/c of a recent SGS3 article somewhat satirically claiming the phone was completely designed in the legal department) that Samsung really wanted to differentiate themselves from the iPhone after a 2011 year full of law suits. The phone certainly avoids (whether purposely or accidentally) all characteristics that may be similar to Apple's black look, which is patented intellectual property.

Probably blue for me, I don't really like white phones.

Same here, tho I'd prefer a black one if I had the choice.

I'll be getting the blue also. The white looks good from the front but the back looks like cheap plastic.

Baldilocks · May 5th, 2012, 01:14 PM

The white just looks better. Probably gonna put a case on it anyway....

serpa4 · May 5th, 2012, 02:45 PM

Im thinking white, but if different Battery covers did come out, they will likely be black. That would not look good with a white face. I'll have to see in the store. I think white would be less of a finger print magnet.

Same here. Not to mention white phones seem to show a lot more dirt and wear more than darker phones.

BaronOfBlood · May 6th, 2012, 10:45 PM

If the white was like the other galaxy phones I would've said it, but since it's the marble white I'll probably go with the pebble blue, it looks awesome

NightHawk877 · May 6th, 2012, 11:00 PM

I'll probably go with the blue and slap a case on it.

JarGnex · May 6th, 2012, 11:49 PM

Pebble blue

powdbyrice · May 7th, 2012, 12:26 AM

iphone pretty much killed the white phone for me, so blue for me.

slatyford · May 7th, 2012, 07:32 AM

White already ordered for me

wickesy · May 7th, 2012, 11:16 AM

I've got a white one on order as well.

mak916 · May 7th, 2012, 11:35 AM

If I get this phone, I think I will get the blue one. Blue is my favorite color. But I want to see them both together before I decide for sure.

Baldilocks · May 7th, 2012, 11:47 AM

I've pre-ordered the white one from Negri Electronics, USA. $695. (£429)

CargoMatatu · May 8th, 2012, 08:07 AM

It would have to be the blue for me and then I'd put a cover on it, as I do with all my phones.

The white is too "My First (nearly) Grown-Up Phone" for me!

mak916 · May 8th, 2012, 10:57 AM

Maybe I'll get a white cover for a blue phone. Lol

npro1464 · May 8th, 2012, 02:55 PM

The blue has really grown on me, but I doubt by the time it finally makes it to Verizon it will be black with red accents and be labelled "Droid Something-or-other." it will look stupid and won't resemble the GS3 launched in Europe in the least bit. So for me, probably black

Xplorah · May 8th, 2012, 04:06 PM

the white looks abit girly so im getting blue

Macz · May 9th, 2012, 06:37 AM

The pebble blue one is very nice.

serpa4 · May 10th, 2012, 06:37 AM

Hopefully we dont have this issue since its glossy.

There have also been reports that this is occurring with people wearing speedos and thongs. Some brown build-up in the crevices of the phone.

android.convert · May 13th, 2012, 08:20 AM

OF the 2 options white hands down. That purple/blue is nasty. I hope it comes in more colors.

Shocky · May 14th, 2012, 08:37 AM

I've never understood the appeal of the white versions of the Galaxy S and Apple devices, just looks cheap and tacky to me.

And that blue doesn't??

android.convert · May 14th, 2012, 07:27 PM

Ok not going to lie blue is starting to grow on me.

davoid · May 14th, 2012, 08:11 PM

I don't know. The blue one looks a bit more like a polished pebble than the white one looks like marble, but that's not saying much.

mihqke · May 15th, 2012, 02:21 AM

Blue for me.

Not to me it doesn't, looks good. I would prefer a black version, but id take blue over white anyday.

Blue here.

Any way if making this a poll? Seems pretty even so far.

We won't have that problem. The S3 has a glossy finish all around the phone over the actual material it's made of. The One X has a soft touch feeling leaving it easy to get scratched by the wrong objects. It's like rubber. Being white in that particular material it can get stained. It's almost like taking a white rock and marking the black pavement. People hear white and assume it's going to get dirty. It's not a white t-shirt or a wedding dress. It's not made of cloth. The One X makes an exception being made of it's material.

Agreed because I figured white would be the winner hands down. (which is why I was going to get blue) but there seems to be ALOT of people favoring blue.

Does that make you want white now?

pwannell · May 16th, 2012, 03:16 PM

leading on from CoronaDoug's thread a poll was suggested.

Shocky · May 16th, 2012, 04:19 PM

I've watched videos of both phones and I much prefer Pebble Blue as the front of the phone is actually black which a huge plus, the back and sides are dark textured blue which looks great.

I merged the threads in order to keep all discussion in one thread and have the benefit of a poll.

From what I've seen, the front and the back look exactly the same.

davoid · May 17th, 2012, 06:21 AM

If I get an S3 it'll probably be the blue, but I'm still worried that the phone is too large until I get to try one in my hand(s) - I've noticed in a lot of hands on previews that it seems to require two-handed operation which is a pain coming from my one-handed Desire.

But the blue looks slick in semi-profile shots.

crhcho · May 17th, 2012, 01:38 PM

One vote for Pebble blue! Really wanna try pebble blue on GalaxyS3. Instead of releasing a black phone, releasing a blue phone is something different from other devices. Pebble blue looks better than marble white because of the pattern of pebbles.

Maybe it was the lighting but the front looked black in the two videos I've watched.

Pre-ordered the Blue, i like white phones have a Note and HOX in white, just not liking something about this one in white as much. I think its the fact i cant see the silver trim around the home button. Both look good though to me
