[Q] Am I buying a blue or a black S3? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

A local electronics store have called me confirming that they have a Pebble Blue S3 for sale that they have saved for me (I pre-ordered), and I can pick it up today. However, I am not sure if it is the blackish one seen in the german video (as seen in another thread) or if it is more blue, as seen on the ads. I asked over the phone, and apparently the box they have is blue, whereas the one in the video is more black.
What do you guys think?
The reason for why I am asking is that I think the one in the video looks much better, so I am considering whether the two colours are different altogether.
Since the shop only received 5 units of the the Pebble Blue, I'm thinking that maybe these are remainders of the initial batch but that actually passed inspections?
I live in Dubai if that matters, and the store is to be trusted.

They all Pebble Blue which might look black on some videos.

Good find, lets hope its true
Will not be amused if this is available a week after I get the blue one.
come on guys, this is just a site that does 3d animations for phones. Did you really think that samsung would not have announced a black version?

Neither will I However I think the listing could well be a mistake colour-wise. When I was looking at pre-orders, there were a couple of places that had white or black listed as colour options, but later corrected to white or blue. I think the blue should be dark enough in real life to pass as nearly black anyway.

Looks like the blue version to me.
Looks blue to me too
looks like blues clues to me i dont know about black..you know that fruit company might sue again
Also they don't even list the blue, which is a bit strange.
I'm calling BS
According to Eldar Murtazin, later it will be available in black too.

"Initially only two colors will be available - Marble White and Pebble Blue. Later on the lineup will be expanded and we will get a black phone among others."

Probably the crappy US Carrier versions.
Eldar Murtazin told me on twitter that the black version will be available for Christmas. Well, i want it so much, but i'm not going to wait :|
I have always had a black phone so ive decided this time it's gonan be different,i want the marble white SGS3 but the blue one looks really nice as well i just cant make up my mind.
Seems immeasurably stupid not to include a black version at launch. It harks back to the days of kids running around with bright red Nokia Xpress-on covers and potentially alienates a large portion of the market who want a sleek, back, professional looking phone - not a teenager's fashion accessory.
The inclusion of things like S-Voice are the kinds of things that look great in a shop but you end up never using in practice. For the same reason it boggles the mind why Samsung didn't give the option of a black version; part of the reason AMOLED screens look so impressive is the near seamless transition between black on-screen and a black bezel, made possible by AMOLED's superior contrast.
I had a very reaction when i saw the white and blue versions at the presentation. I hate white phones and thought the blue looked horribly cheap. Ive now seen a blue one in the flesh and its nothing like as bad as i feared. Its actually quite smart looking.
Many of the images of it make it look a lot lighter than it actually is. The front looks black in most lights an the pattern on the back is almost like metal.
I would still prefer a black phone though.
its the blue one!

i don't think there is any other colour of blue its just the lighting in that video i have held a pebble blue phone and in different lights it looks darker.
It's blue...but it depends on the light source...
If it's pebble blue it is not the grayish one. The grayish one is being called metallic blue.

Midnight Black or Titanium Grey?

I know it's a personal preference thing but I am upgrading from the S8 and for the life of me I cannot decide on which color to get. I have seen them in person and they both look fantastic but I just cannot make a decision yet.
My S7 Edge and S8 are both Midnight Black so I have been thinking about changing this time and going for Grey but I am really hesitant about it because it seems to be a bit reflective and prone to showing scratches and scuff marks easier - is that true?
I have not been following up on reviews of the S9+ so I am not really aware if either color has any specific problems that owners realized later on?
Please enlighten me and help me choose.
Thank you!
I have the Grey Exynos and Blue Snapdragon in my house. I personally like the blue colour over the grey as it looks more appealing. No scratches or scuffs yet in them(really care for them lol) and both are equally reflective.
@sabertooth Thanks for your reply! Blue is actually the color I was interested in initially but then I realized that it's not sold here unless I buy it from a third party website without warranty, similar to craigslist but locally, and I am not interested in spending that much money on something like that. I think I'll go for Midnight Black again, simply because I am already used to it and reviews say that it has more of a matte finish compared to the S8's glossy one, which would actually be nicer for me. I was quite high when I saw it in the store so I wasn't very detail oriented.
BLACK!

Galaxy buds pre-order promotion

It looks like the only color option for this is white. Bummer! I wish they would have given the option for black. Guess trying to saturate and squeeze out the market for Earpod fan boys.
Yeah it sucks. Wanted either the black or canary yellow ones.
I've seen many planning to take them to Walmart or BestBuy to exchange for their desired color, apparently they've done similar things before. Worth a try! I'd like black myself. =/

Question Anyone's Pixel 6 Seafoam not look like Seafoam?

Received P6 yesterday and disappointed to find the Seafoam looks nothing like I expected, The back is slightly off white and no where close to seafoam shown in google advertisements. Thanks
I find it has a slightly different hue in different light. Sometimes the main section on the back looks almost white. Other times it's exactly like the promo material, a soft minty green.
you are holding it wrong
sorry, couldn't resist. but I am happy with mine and sometimes it looks like in the promotional picture
I asked a few people what color they were seeing just to make sure I wasn't color blind. Its definitely white and yellow. Not the Green/Blue that the promotional articles make it look.
I'm not sure where or how people saw the promo material, but on my phone and on my PC it always looked sky blue + light neon green/yellow. To me, my P6 looks exacty like the box it came in, which looks just like what I saw online.
As OP mentioned, Pixel 6 Seafoam back-glass has a tendency to look white, but it very much tends to depend on the color temperature of the lighting. Maybe it's why Google calls it only "Sorta Seafoam"? Under warm lighting mine does match the box & most Google online renderings/photos. Probably won't matter if I put an opaque case on it anyway!
Off-white
