Since there are polls for preorders and what sizes you would get, how about a poll for what color you would get?
Given the choice I'd have a white one to match the rest of my stuff, but it's not an option
what do you mean by not an option?

Only have black electronics, don't think I've bought white before.
We can't get the white version, but there's always cases! Those will have many colors.

How do you know it? I did not see any information about it on Google play. I thought it has different colors for 8gb and 16gb.

Pre-order page has been up a while and black is the only choice.
It's a shame though. I wish they did offer the white, I'd have gotten that.

Oh, do you mean the picture? It makes sense. Anyways, sorry for you but I prefer the black color.
I prefer the front of the white one and back of the black one.
What colour?? Now you say!! I think I have / will have black

If we could have gotten a white backing, I would still have chosen black. A white, textured, rubber back would get pretty dirty over time. Also, after having a white iPad 2, I will never get a white-bezeled device again. It's distractingly bright, especially when I'm trying to read.
Dark gadgets all the way.
Speaking of colours, has anyone seen the Brown version?
Its on preorder here in the UK and would like to know what it looks like before buying.
I thought it was just black (grey) and white.

The bezel and ring of the I/O device is black, only the back is white. I'm a little worried about the back getting dirty, but since its plastic, a damp rag should keep it clean.

It is 16GB
Edit: We’ve had another look at the device and the storage is 16GB. It may be that this device is a 16GB one and there may be a 32GB one which we haven’t seen. Or it may just be that the White Nexus 4 has been a limited edition all along that is available only to very select developers. Maybe, just maybe the white Nexus 4 will never see retail release. At this point, all we can do is speculate.

It's not running a release ROM that's for sure as the build has something long with 'dev-keys' at the end of it as opposed to 'JOP40C' (which is Android 4.2, as shown in the video). Hardware looks legit, though
Nope, looks perfect. White back with black bezel, think about it, every screen looks so much better with a black bezel not white. The screen pops very nicely with a black bezel. So they didn't want to lose that factor. It's still an awesome looking phone.
It looks hot, but maybe it's just a girl thing. The sides look reflective, the back is sparkly (!!!!11!111!!!!) and my heart is just screaming WANT WANT WANT LOVE LOVE LOVE.
Nope. I like the black of my device, plus the weird two-tone the white has doesn't appeal to me. The back is white, but the front is black? That almost makes it look like a mod that someone decided to do instead of being professionally built.
would consider if bezel is matched white color.
otherwise... looks like a incomplete housing swap.
It's a girl phone, for girl nerds
Me Gusta!
Fugly. It's like the Nexus 4 had vitiligo on the backside.
Not my thing... But maybe the gf.

LOL, thank you borijess. My mistake. Corrected.
have not seen one in hand, but from the pics, this time white gives a classic look.
White makes the color of the screen pop.
Probably should add 'Undecided' as an additional option ... I think a lot of people are still thinking through black or white.
I'll most likely choose black, because it seems to stand out better when laying around, which would make it some what easier to find. And then again I could buy a white one then slap a black otterbox on it...right..
Probably I'll pick black. I like darker colors more. My Note 2 is also grey.
This is a really hard decision. Black and white both look really good. I can't make up my mind.
one cant really go wrong with either color black or white. still an awesome phone

Lighting in the videos makes it look black especially in the android authority ones. But ask anyone who has seen it in real life and they'd tell it's grey. Somewhat similar to the Note 3 in greyness except the back cover of the note 3 was actually black compared to this one.

So far it looks like Black is twice as popular as White in this poll.
I've heard people say the black looks much better in person. I am planning to buy white on Friday. I've tried to look at pictures and youtube videos as much as possible, and to me the white looks better. Maybe it's just because I've never not had a black phone, and want something different?
I bought two different cases, a white one and a black one, just to see which I like better when paired with the white phone.
I prefer the Real Gold look but since that's a bronze gold and it wont be out for a while Black is the next best thing
I should mention I live in Ecuador and can't see a phone in person, I have to order via internet with a leap of faith on color choice...
I've seen both. I prefer the white.

Yes. Not sure why they colored it instead of just leaving it brushed metal colored. Although, the black band on the black phone looks awesome...I usually get white until I saw that. Now I went black.
That's WHY i got the white. I like that look for it. If it was merely metal, I'd have gotten the black version.
Thinking about getting a Nexus 6 with ATT, the only issue is that I want the white version but I only see mid-night blue on the website.
The only reason I want the white one is because the side edges are silver, I dont know why they didn't just make an all black one, Ill end up putting a black dbrand skin on the back to cover up the white.
buy it from google or motorola

AT&T only sells the midnight blue. No white, so AT&T will not be able to order you a white one.

Swap the back cover to white. There's a thread on here. You tube video as well. Fairly simple.
You can but it from moto using their moto finance and pay it off over a year with 0 interest.

Just bought the mid-night blue through ATT Next. It doesn't look that bad in person plus I have a couple Spigen cases on the way.
Get a white case.
Seriously, I can't use the phone without noticing these thick black borders. The soft gold variant appealed me because Oneplus photoshopped out the black borders inside the bezels. Why oneplus why?
Furthermore, I don't have any option to return the phone as I've imported it. I am hating the phone that I wanted to love.
Do not buy in Soft Gold, it's ugly.

yeah... all the white phones have this as the screen that is active does not end where bezels start. That's why on black version is not noticeable even though it is there.

Yes, but not to the level of this phone. Apple, to their credit shiw the border(which is thinner than on OP3 anyway) in the promotional pictures. But if you look at OP3's website the gold color is shown without any border. I feel bit cheated.
I'm overacting a bit but I'm really regretting the fact that I don't have an option to exchange it for a black one.

Because they might live in a country where they don't have access to do so.
I just received my "russian girl" OP3... first thing, it is not bling-bling at all, the gold tone is very soft, and yes the white face is a little of a shock to me since this is the very first time I have a phone with a white face, but I'm sure I will get used to it. It does not look like a cheap chinese telephone at all as someone said, which is funny because this IS a cheap chinese phone .
The only thing I do not like is the screen protector that comes with it, it is like wearing a size S t-shirt when you are size L .
Forgot to say that the black line around the screen is a non issue for me.

Funny thing is I like the gold on the back, white front is not too flashy until you turn the display on. I'm using the phone on dark mode to hide the borders.

For me this Soft Gold model is just perfect for it's price. The tiny black border doesn't bother me at all, it's on all white front phones I've seen and used. Otherwise it's also much better than I expected after reading these threads here and on OnePlus forums complaining just about anything. Very positively surprised.
It's all about personal taste and preference I guess!
@brickedvice could you post a photo of the Soft Gold phone with the screen protector that has black top and bottom? I'd love to see how it looks
