Does anyone here have the Alpine White Galaxy Note 9?
What are your impressions of the white variant? Does the color suit the design? Does it have a quality premium look to it?
I would like a unique color but at the same time, I want a color that looks classy and premium for the design of the phone. (I think the Note 9 looks best in dark colors. My favorite are the copper and blue but my brother already has the blue variant so I don't want to get the same and the copper isn't available with the Snapdragon SoC that I want. That leaves black, purple or white)
Looking at pictures and videos of the white variant on the internet, I think the rear panel looks okay but not really very premium (too white, like an appliance) while the aluminum sides just look cheap.
Overall, from looking at it through my computer screen, it looks very plain and less classy/premium than most of the other colors.
The problem is, pictures and videos don't always give a true reflection of the experience in reality.
Do the aluminum sides, top and bottom have a shiny chamfer along the edges?
No owners of the white variant?
I have seen the White Variant of the Note 9. It really is nothing special just a Note 9 with white backpanel, white antenna lines and a white S-Pen.

I have decided to buy this Sexy Phone
But confused to choose the variant white or black
Black version is prone to fingerprints and white one is prone to dust and grease :\
White version gives a premium feel though !!
So people please pour in your suggestions
Thanks in advance !!!
Cheers !!
I like the white one. As you said, it gives more of a premium feel. The metal frame also looks much better in the white version than in the black one.
On the other hand, the display looks better when turned off in the black one.
The front part of the phone is of glass so it will not catch much dust. One thing is that the back scratches easily if you drop your phone a lot and this shows a lot more in white than in black.
I have the black one and i like the color i use it with a matte screen protector so no fingerprint problem on the front side and the back cover is not like a glossy black so both sides no problem.
I also like the white one but the aluminium frame is grey (as you would expect but not the glossy aluminium grey) as in the black one the frame is painted black like the rest of the phone giving it a smoother look.
I like my choice and i would recommend the black one but watch out if the frame paint gets damaged by a fall it will look awful.
That's what i think thank you .
I am having a hard time choosing the looks. Although I prefer white phones, I think with an amoled screen black probably looks better, since it can make the screen look almost bezelless especially with darker background.
For the back I would like something durable and something which protects the phone in drops etc. I think leather or bamboo would be best suited but bamboo doesn't look good with a dark front and leather could scuff easily.
Anyway what are the ideas and experiences (with the original motor x) of you all?
i want to get the black front with black leather, but i read somewhere that the black leather is an in the store only option. i really hope not, i was thinking about some hints of blue.
Black with the cognac leather back. I'd prefer it in white but all the sensors being in black ruins the look for me.
I have a white face on the previous moto and this time I'll go black so it covers up all the sensors. As for the back, not sure. I have royal blue so I'll probably go a bit darker. I'm going to be a bit more bold on the accents instead of silver

is the white bad looking? this will be my first white face phone. it looked fine in pics, but that doesn't always translate in person. I am just wondering if those sensors will make the phone look aesthetically unpleasing
edit: I'm going for the black. like the user above me said, the sensors will be visible, so not that good. and black looks more classier
When the Nexus 5 came out, the white variant was a harder, more plastic feel while the black was more of a softer material. Is this the same for the Nexus 6?
No. The Blue is a fingerprint magnet but once you get it greased up pretty good it looks uniform & not too bad.

so is the blue variant the same material as the black nexus 5? or just straight up hard plastic?

I have the blue and it doesn't feel like either of the N5s. More like a hard plastic. Was really hoping for that soft touch that the N5 and N7 have. Like the previous poster was saying, it just absorbs any kind of grease or dirt you may have on your hand. I don't think I've ever seen any device absorb dirt so badly.
Yes, the blue one sucks up any oil from your skin, as well as the oil from the skin of anyone who's ever stood closer than 6 feet from you in your entire life. I'm pretty sure there's some worm-hole magic involved. That's the only thing that really explains the staggering number of fingerprints it can absorb in just a few minutes of use.
I ordered a D-Brand Skin for mine (Black Titanium). I saw a review on it, and the reviewer was impressed with how much grip it added. Plus, he was constantly pawing all over the phone the entire review, and I never could see one fingerprint.
hey guys got my coupon and am about to order a pure edition..ftw.. lol but I'm going back and forth between white and black front.
real question is if the aluminum band color changes depending on the front color...motomaker makes it look like with white the aluminum is more our aluminum, whereas the black front is accompanied by a darker aluminum...
thanks..
Yup. White front comes with silver color aluminum frame. Black is supplied with a darker grey color.
Go with black, it's much nicer looking. With the white you see all the sensors on the front and it looks super cluttered. The black is just... elegant.
Thanks. Got a black at&t now. I do like it. Can't wait for my pure!!

^ what he said
My silver S8 came with a black s-pen. Is this the norm because I've seen videos while researching cases that have shown silver S8 with silver s-pen but those could have been S7 tablets.
Did anyone else who purchased a silver S8 receive a black s-pen?

I have a black Tab S8+ with a black s-pen myself, but that's really odd. I have a silver Tab S7+ that came with a silver s-pen, so I'm not sure why they'd mix up s-pen and tablet colors.
S8 series comes with black s-pen on all colours. So one in video was moslikely a s-pen from s7 series since they where coloured. Secondly s-pen on s8 series is thicker I think and different shape than what s7 series had on their s-pen.
Thanks @Jake.S !
I just saw an image on Samsung's website that has the black s-pen with the silver S8.
Thanks again for confirming.

All S pens are black right or are there any other colors?

For s8 series they are all black. S7 series had after tablet colour. So when you bought copper s7 galaxy tab you got a copper colored s-pen. But for s8 it is black on all colours

Thanks for the info, but they can make different colors of S pen, not the boring black!
