Black or White? - Sprint HTC One (M7)

My upgrade is coming up and I am definitely getting the One. I do not want another Samsung because of the build quality but Idk which color to get. I heard the black one attracts fingerprints but I will most likely have a case on it. I've had black phones my entire life but I am leaning towards the silver. People who own the One, which one looks better?

The black HTC one is not available yet for Sprint so you might not get many responses (since this is a Sprint HTC One forum). You may want to ask your question though in the general HTC One board. For what its worth, I have played with a working version of the silver and a dummy of the black and I am holding out for the black one. The black one is suppose to be available in a few weeks so if you want it now, the silver is your only choice.

Silver because that's the only color HTC would hook me up with.

My previous phones have also been black, so I got the silver to change it up. If you get the silver I don't think you will regret it. I am definitely not.

I've never had a silver phone, but coming from the AT&T GS2 skyrocket the bare metal look of the silver really compliments the build quality.

I've always had black phones. But I decided to go for silver. Not regretting it.

I was going to hold out for the black, but I also knew I was going to get the HTC hard case for it. Once I saw one with the case on, I realized you can't tell if the phone is black or silver so I grabbed the silver one.

black phone for me every time.

Sprint sold out of the black One so there are people that have it that can tell you there experience here. You just won't be able get one for a little bit until sprint gets them back in stock.

my brother did. i'm on x10 mini pro. in black colour

When I went to the sprint store they had both on display. I played with the black one and it was just to prone to finger prints for my liking. So I'd go with the Silver one.

It doesn't matter if your black or white.

Alright thanks guys. I wasn't aware of the unavailability of the black One but it looks like a lot of people like the silver one regardless. I'm going to have a case on it either way so the fingerprints on the black wouldn't matter but I've had black the whole time so I'll get silver. How is the One for the people that have it? Any problems with it yet?

Silver looked way better. The black one is so dull and boring. I thought it was a Blackberry10

The black isn't bad looking but the one i got to use a few months back like went out of its way to suck all the oil from my hands and lather itself in it. The silver one is shinier so you don't notice the oil nearly as much. Also I'm sure scratches will show up way more prominently on the black version.

New White Vivid Owner ;)

Hey guys,
I bought the phone today, used just for a week 4 $200,
At&t white version, and im loving it, guy included a hard case white snap on cover, green & black hard plastic one, and a blue otterbox defender series!
So any tip or trick or hack let me know!
Cheers!
I thought about getting the white one, good choice. Welcome!

The white version is pretty sharp, I wished I had the white version.
Tip 1
If you're planning on staying with S-On, just know you'll have to do things differently than those with S-Off.
Tip 2
Don't try and do S-Off until you've read how the procedure is done.
I kinda went at everything blind without reading, which caused me a few problems along the way. I was very fortunate to have the good people of this forum come to my rescue, I'm finally enjoying my HTC Vivid. Happy flashing!
yeah...read, read, and READ lol, but i suggest doing s off once youve read a lot about it and are comfortable...its a lot easier then it sounds-i finally got the guts to do it the other day...it was surprisingly easy and i got it first try...
i was so afraid of doing it cause you have to pretty much short out the phone...but i had already disassembled the phone to change the capacitive button colors to green so i figured if i could do that then i could do s-off
How can you get that price? I looked on ebay but only 250$++

Look on Craigslist.
There are several in my area Craigslist going for $175. I was able to trade my Evo Shift straight up for the HTC Vivid to someone from Craigslist, Good Luck!

OK... As much as I love my Vivid is going towards my wife as of today. I somehow ended up in a AT$T store today and used up my friend's upgrade that he didn't need, and now I'm rocking a brand new HTC one X, which I really love so far. I'm a little worried about the battery life, but so far isn't bad at all. As much as I wanted to go for the galaxy s3, just didn't cut it for me... To be honest I mostly fell for the one x's sexyness ...

It's either:
1) google employee exclusive
2) a really good optical illusion
3) reflection from the light box
This is already being discussed in another thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1962811
I'm pretty certain if it was white the face(? lol) would be white too, it's probably just a reflection. Although in my local Phone Shop they have a Nexus 4 wall and it advertises black and white.
I only like white versions if both the front and back are white. Hate the zebra look

Correct me if im wrong but the U.S (Blk) version of the Gnex was released in Dec 2011 and the (wht) version was released 2mon later Feb 2012 over seas ?? Thing is i bought my white GNexus from NEGRIEL ELECTRONICS for $600.00+ so even if they release a white one its going to cost almost double! so now theres 2 things u can do.. buy the black version and when/if the white comes out buy the 'back glass plate' separate and switch it oput buy unscrewing the screws on the bottom of the phone.. or just wait for the white version.
I believe theyll make a white version (see attached pix)

I am wondering if £220 is the price that Google sell it to the CPW for... that price showed up in their system a few days ago (before the launch).
Seems crazy to up the price by more than £100, but people will pay it. It is still quite cheap compare to other phones, if you don't know what Google sell it for...

White back from Google I/O

Des anyone know where I can find someone selling the white back form a Nexus 7 from Google IO? I think it looks much better than the brown one, and yes, I know they are not easy to find.
There's a brown back? Anyways probably may never find anyone selling only the back cover unless they cracked their screen. Best way is to just buy the white version.

Your Nexus back cover is brown not black. Put it next to something true black. The box also lists it as brown.
Haven't seen any white ones pop up on ebay recently. A few did shortly after I/O but they disappeared quickly.

I'm jealous of all you people... I hope all the black wears off and you end up with silver Ones.
Lol. I'm not trolling, I'm just playing.. I really wanted a 64GB black one (black One?), but unfortunately the ONLY version Vodacom SA got was the 32GB silver. Still, I honestly can't complain, and regardless of the colour I still feel a little grin creep up every time I stick my hand in my pocket and feel a nice cool, sleek, sexy aluminium beast in my pocket.
Got the black 32gb its been in a case since it was first taken out of the box, my only concern is the camera lense issue that seems to be cropping up on users.

Android 4.3

I know I am to be taken with a grain of salt, I am a corporate store technician and talked to our HTC rep today. She is saying that Sprint decided to skip 4.2.2 and go right to 4.3 with its upgrade to the HTC One. I also got to look at the red version today as well and I am going to see about trading my black one for the red. She did not give any timeframe of when the 4.3 update will come out.

They only had a mockup for me to look at so unfortunately not, but the red is like an ironman red it looks really good. I will have the actual units tomorrow in inventory we will be putting one under glass to show the color so I will play more with it then and see what the finished product looks like.

I think that's just overexposure. It may also be a combination of white balance and overexposure. It is common with any type of digital camera to have uncommon colors. One major reason is because of the digital white balance correction.
Sent from my HTCONE using xda premium
I don't know what you guys are say'n..That Phone is clearly pink....
The first picture is inaccurate. The second one is right.
If the problem is overexposure, then that means the tap to focus doesn't work very well. I always tap on my subject, yet I have several pictures where the reds look orange. I shouldn't have to mess around other than having to tap on my subject to get the right exposure etc.
EDIT: Whatever, it's OK.
The red One still looks sick, especially with the black accents.
I was just messing around man..The phone looks hot..But unless Sprint and HTC do something about the radio it's just another one..Thanks for the pics though.
That is because of the way the digital light meter reads the scene. Again, this is an issue that plagues even professional cameras both film and digital. This issue often crops up in difficult lighting situations with a lot of contrast. Hope this helps explain a little. Also the red one looks sweet!

If Sprint releases the Red HTC One with 4.2.2, we would already have it on ours. There's nothing different in those internals than what's on ours. They can't control the update to the device based on color. It will release with 4.1.2.
