Can you give me some suggestions on what color should i buy. White or Black?
someone told that the white one is easily attract a dirt on it. is it true?
Thanks for you Response. and sorry for my BAD ENGLISH.
I've the Black model and find it truly stilish and elegant, the white one imho is too showy.
so what you prefer?

The Black one, showy things are not for me.
I've had both now, the white one didn't pick up any dirt to be honest. It does show up dents and scratches pretty badly though and I ended up claiming for a new one on my insurance. I've now got the black and as a phone and lookwise I think it's nicer than the white. The white was fun for a while, but the black just looks that bit better.
black
in my oppinion, the black got more style...

you mean i can go to the service center and change the cover using the warranty?
Thanks for all of your Suggestion!
If you uses phone casing, I think black is nicer and easier to match colours.
White if you don use phone casing.

I originally wanted black but p4u only had white and I'm chuffed with it. I have read somewhere that the black ones show up marks but cant find where I've read it now.

The white one for sure. The black one apparently gets scuff marks.
Well the white definitely looks better, i had a white one and loved it. Was stuck in the shop at least 10 mins just by choosing color
as regards to durability I heard of the back cover got a special coating that prevents stains. And some guys on YouTube posted a white version with markers been drawn all over and removed with just a eraser.

White one here from P4U was not sure until I used it in the shop. Get a microfibre as well so you can wipe it. even with screen protector on it by default you will want to clean it lol.

Black doesn't have anti stain ?
Black one has it as well.
Thx
The back look very beautiful, more on the white
i was planning to get black but there is no color choice for me so i got the white one.
I am really confused on which one to get. The white one looks better but a few have commented that it gets scratches and gets dirty easier than the black one. The black one does not look as good as the white one but it hides scratches and dirt easily.

Well i have the white one and i dont find that it gets dirty, though in saying that i do my best not to let it get dirty in the first place. My personal opinion is that the white one is gorgeous, black is nice but the white looks really nice!

Lol so you see different people different taste
I love the matte black one
I think the bar lights up better against the black body - visually speaking of course since it should have the same brightness on both models.
Just picked up a white one. Went into P4U expecting to prefer the black but actually preferred the white.
All personal preference of course, the black ones still look great to me

Were you able to see both in person and still prefered the white after seeing both?
I took the white one. But that was because i couldn't get a black one on release date. In fact i allready had pre-ordered a black one. But cancelled it.
But the truth if is i'm realy happy with the white one. It's deffrent. Black is so mainstream almost all smartphones are black. With the white one you might get some looks. On distance you can't realy see what kind of phone people got because they are all black.

I think that i am leaning more to the white. But dont you have any problem maintaining it? I am planning to put it inside a leather belt case.
White all the way. Looks superior to the black and much more sexier.
So far no problems keeping it clean. If you keep it in a dirty environment, get a case!

I was able to see both white and black in person. Typically, my wife wants one now and I can't find any white ones sim free.. so I might end up with a black one, and a white one!
I think the black one looks better.. You will see every person on the streets with the white xperia s. No matter which colour you get, you will think the other colour is better.
So which one do you prefer, the White or the Black?
I personally prefer the White one. It really gives it a beautiful look. But I also heard it get stained pretty easily. It is true?
The white is beautiful but it becomes like a ****! The back cover turns yellow if you try to clean it even with a towel and just water! I've changed 3 so far!
White and dont have problems at all.

White here and no problem with dirt.
Found the bottom stripe on the black Xs more dark grey then black, compared to the white that was white all over.
Sure, you can see dirty fingers fast, but they are easy to remove with your shirt and 10 sec of work.
I prefer the black one
if the front would have been more white around the screen it would have been better I think
Prefer the black one.
Still there's a bit of scratch mark on the back. I couldn't imagine the same on the white one.

White one is my preference, but it's hard to find a case who suits it.
All the stains that i did on my white one have been easily removed with a paper eraser.
I like better the black one, although mine is white. I just got a black silicone cover and now it looks black.

I'm lucky enough to get to look at both every day as I have a black XS and my girlfriend has a white XS.
They both have their positives - The black looks a bit classier overall in my opinion, but the white makes more of an impact when you pull it out. It does tend to show dirt easier but I've found that it comes off just as easily and looks new in no time.
The main positive about us both having an XS is that I have two phones to test with
Lets be honest, white is for girls and apple folks.
I personally prefer black one for guys and white for girls
Mine is black. Men in black
I prefer black, but I'd ultimately prefer a white one because I like the bottom signal thingy white and most of the fronts black
But I noticed something! My friend got the black xps ( I decided to get white btw) and the back cover and the sides much smoother! Maybe it's partially due to the anti scratch and smudge or whatever the white one has.
Also, what is that smell I smell when I open the cover, is that from the battery? And is it toxic?

I own a white one. But I think both look very good. You can't go wrong with either one.
I never had a white phone before and it was available 1 week earlier in Germany so I got the white one.

I've had black, silver and white phones in the past. There is a saying round here that once you've had black you don't go back. Black is always going to be a classic color.. All the other colors are just fashions that come and go... Black will always be there, Look at the new iPhone 5 :-D

Black
At first I wanted white one because it looks very beautiful and attracts a lot of attention, but when I got black one, I really liked it. It's huge screen looks even bigger on black panel, and when the phone is off it looks even more fantastic. I'd go for black second time.
I think that I would prefer white, there are not many white smartphones...
it has style, black is just a little bit to "mainstream" everyone have a black smartphone...
on the white one you can see faster dirty, but that should be no problem with the nanocoating
Hello everyone! I'm looking to get a One, and I really love the Stealth Black finish. Busy does anyone know if the black finish chips or scratches off to reveal silver underneath? Thanks!

The stealth black is very very nice but I chose silver because I was afraid of the paint chipping off. When I purchased my One, I noticed the stealth black demo model had chips and scratches.

Isn't it anodized? I knew the silver one would show far more wear and decided to exchange for a black one. I've dropped it a couple times already, and still looks perfect.

I think so, I thought the silver would show just as bad as black if scratches would occur. Just like the iPhone 5, doesn't matter what color scratches are horrible on both colors.

Not really a test or good comparison but as you can tell, the guy even says that the black one is more prone to reveal scuffs and scratches. Not trying to turn this into a Silver vs Black debate. If you're the type that takes good care of your phones...the stealth black is perfect. If you dislike finger oily prints..get the silver. All in all, the HTC One is a true winner.

Agree I have both colors. Using various types of cases, but both colors are holding up. The best experience will be your own. Just because someone is advising or that's what they found, doesn't mean it's 100 percent true.

Got the black one here after owning a couple of silver ones, the black one is incredible. Seriously I said it in another thread, it has that David Hasselhof Knight Rider swag.
Mine is holding up pretty well, it's been only a week though. I bought an extreme guard screen/back protector from eBay (protects the front and back and is super durable).

Sent from my Lumia 1520 using Tapatalk
i went with the silver. i was about to purchase the gunmetal grey at the att store but the employee told me they just got in a couple silver ones.
Gray was all they had left, so I went with the obvious because I didn't want to wait. Gonna get a case anyway.
Silver is the best. Did not care for the gold, looks a bit feminine to me!
Gunmental looks great but it shows scratches almost as bad as black and something about the speaker grilles made them appear to be stuck on decals.
Silver, OTOH, looks perfect. Same finish as a Macbook Pro!
And being the underlying metal is aluminum, scratches, even deep ones, won't stick out like a sore thumb.
Personally I like the appearance of black the best as was my M7 BUT you have to be super duper careful because scratches, even smaller ones, are GLARINGLY obvious. If you're even mildly OCD they will haunt you like a small, hard object in your sock poking at your foot with every step...

Funny you mention this. The way it's implemented, probably not...
However, when the GS3 came out I bought one in white and liked it...sort of. Until the LED lit up and I could see the entire area AROUND the LED glowing. Hated how that looked. Of course on SEC and Apple devices black is the way to go because a light bezel around the screen doesn't do it for me. Just makes things harder to read.
Again, IMHO/E, of course.
I wanted the gold but they were on backorder. So i got the Arctic silver and I'm happy with it.

Did anyone else notice that the metal on the black edition is darker aluminum than the metal on the white?
Noticed but thought maybe it was just me. Glad it's actually a thing tho. I am not a big fan of silver. Only reason I'm getting a case it to cover the silver.

Until I saw it myself, I had no idea the black edition had darker metal. In fact, I didn't hear anyone saying it out of the dozens of reviews I watched and read online. I think it make a lot more sense to darken the metal to reduce the contrast between the body and the border.
Well yea.. here is how I classify the metal color:
Black unit : space grey
White unit: original silver
Gold unit: copper.
The space grey works really well with the black

Yea.. I wouldn't disagree on that.
It is basically aluminium silver with an itsy bitsy tint of grey. Whatever it is, I think Sammy did a good job in making sure they contrast well with their primary colors.

I honestly wish it were grey. I think Apple has got something with its "space grey" I mean it looks gorgeous as hell. I've never like silver and I think it looks especially poor with black but I'll be damned if I get a white phone. My dislike for white phones far outdoes my dislike for silver.
Basically a lesser of two evils scenario for me.

Agreed on all fronts. Samsung should have gone even darker with the metal on the black model to further reduce the contrast and make the phone look blacked out, so to speak. Then again, I also wish they didn't have that highly reflective giant "SAMSUNG" on the front and that Verizon didn't spooge all over the back of the phone with their 3-lines of carrier branding.
I also agree that, while white can look pretty slick and clean, I'll never go back there after using a white-face Moto X. The contrast between the screen and the white boarder is just too jarring and non-immersive. Also, you have to deal with the inevitable line of black between the screen and the white border, which only makes matters worse. Plus, if there are any alignment issues between the digitizer and the phone housing (like my Moto X), you'll know it in an instant with a white phone.
