Blue is almost black-almost no difference,they should have made it lighter blue.I think i should have gotten the white one,my white gs2 is more flashy.

I would say that blue and black are more manly looking.

I want a Newport's green GS3-with black stripes.

That is the downside of white one.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] topiratiko:
1/4 the price, same amount of cores, better (by far) looks, capacitive buttons (love bln). Just taking a hit on the screen. Everything else is software side. Easy decision. That pebble purple is ATTROCIOUS

Blue
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rookiegenius:
actually, the blue one looks cheaper, especially the back. I dislike the color of the band around the phone and the home button. The blue front looks nice tho. I exchanged my blue for a white one
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] fabzbear:
No question about it, didn't even need to think about it or second guess it...WHITE is just gorgeous.

Oh I think blue just makes it look regular, normal. But white, you see white and its like royalty...though the phone is no matter what color...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] meltdeck:
Never had a white phone, also it seemed like it'd be more fun to rub in iphone users face :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dethtek:
I was dead set on getting the blue. Then i saw one next to a white one. I now have a white phone. Still wish it was black...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Snook321:
I like the Metallic look the blue one has on the front... I agree that the blue back is horrible but my case hides it lol. I really really wished that Samsung released a black one, or a gray one.

White because I've never had a white phone before

White. The back of the blue one is too shiny, IMO.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xstayxposix:
I went with white. My buddy has the blue.. While it's a nice color I couldn't stand how the back cover looked and how the home button looked a different color... It wasn't just his, it was the same in the stores.

I just cannot stand it at all! Bugged me so much. Haha. :cool:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Mayze23:
White. After more than a decade of dark colored phones it was time for the a change.

Dont forget better S Amoled Plus screen.

I have Epic Touch and i must say GS3 i only little better.Epic Touch is best american version because it ha Xynos cpu.I still like gs2 screen better even with lower res.

I spray painted my white one pink... now all the girls look at me... i guess they think im one kool dude!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] trakz:
I got to see both the blue and white side by side at the store when I was getting mine.

I really like the polished look. Its not like you see many blue phones out there either.

However I bought the white one for a couple reasons.

First, the white hides finger prints much better the pebble blue. The darkness made the prints stand out.

Second, I like the shade white. It feels like it radiates out of your hand.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PDXunicorn:
Blue looks great especially after always having white phones
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Elysium1215:
I went with blue but I have a black case around my phone which I really like, almost makes it look totally black (besides cutouts) which creates an awesome effect and improves the overall sleekness of the phone haha.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cheetablaze:
Both colors look hella sexy... why can't they make that ghetto paint that looks white at one angle and then blue at another? Seems legit.....

I bought the Pebble Blue and White. I like 'em both colors. I use the White for hanging-out with my friends and family u know going out to clubs stuff like that and I use the Pebble Blue at work at the office, business meetings and casual party.

Here are the 2 side by side
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Classick206:
I would love to have a red S3, but opted for the white since I'm on T-Mobile. :(
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Aquethys:
What do y'all think about the garnet red one from att? :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rooster_yang:
blue for me

I ordered blue one . After few days I change to white one with my sister . Now I back to blue . Because white just too plain and don't like the soft key backlight and led notification on white version . Now I am very happy with blue color , never look back for white .
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cundiffr:
I had the blue, but the home button looked purple so I went with the white
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] gjvah:
Blue looks more serious. It also works better with the screen too in my opinion. When the screen is off, you don't see the screen borders so much. When the white one is off, all you see is a giant black rectangle on a nice curved body.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mw86:
I bought the Blue one. Its a pleasant color to me.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sn0warmy:
I was torn between the two but figured that all my previous phones were blue, black, or dark grey so I figured it was time to try white. I'm very happy with it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kerick10:
Got 2 blues form me and my other half. We both really happy with the choice. White looks nice but with Hawai'i and red dirt...white never stays white.

Sent from my S3 in the middle of the Pacific.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] :
have the white but the backlight bleed has turned me away. Have a blue coming. If the button isn't to bad, the white is a goner.

Besides, the coolness factor of the white has kinda worn off now for me.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] composi:
The white looks a lot better with the display on...knew I wanted white the moment I saw the two colors they offered (before red)...but my Galaxy Nexus still looks WAAYYYY sexier cuz of the black...I actually envy my VZW Gnex's looks, but alas, I'm on ATT now...i wanna take this thing apart and paint it black lol
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Unknown_Hero:
The first one I got was the white because I got it brand new for $99.99 and that's the only color they offered. I hate white phones but ended up loving the white. I then got the pebble blue brand new for just under 50 bucks!! So now I have both and cant decide which I like more. The white is so clean and really compliments the display when playing games or whatever. But the blue looks very professional and clean, especially with a black case. I'm still bent on both, but hey I got both so it doesn't really matter. It really pays to work for Sprint when you love phones lol!!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] I_FLY_Z3R0:
I got the limited edition green s3
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] swindillon:
there is an option for RED?!! mannn that would be sick! im jealous of everyone who got red. althought white is pretty stunning.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] slow_DC4:
AT&T has red.

I ended up getting the blue one because that's the only one Costco had.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] vdub804:
Chose white because it looks nicer imho I've never really been a fan of blue
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Aquethys:
There's button bleed on all whites?

Yes, the garnet red is pretty attractive... I like blue as my fave color though, unfortunately not this shade
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] :
All the ones I've tried and from others saying they have it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Aquethys:
Hm. Can somebody shoot the front of the blue and post it here? :)

I need to see... If the purplish button will really turn me off.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Depends on the lighting. I hate the purple button. But sitting in here with both in front of me, the button is actually blue like the phone in this lighting. In some rooms though, it's purple looking. Same with the bezel. A picture won't work as the pictures will always make it look purple.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] composi:
Sir yes sir.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bigee1212:
I prefer the white version but the blue is very nice as well. You can't really go wrong imo.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zmore:
Yes, the light bleeding through doesn't look bad to my eyes, though. To me, it just looks like a fuzzy halo that could've been intentional.

Another thing about the white that I've noticed is that in absolute darkness, when the button lights come on, it illuminates the rest of the bezel a bit. Probably wouldn't be as noticable if it was blue/black.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] :
We're now talking about 2 different types of bleed. The bleed you speak of looks cool. The bleed I speak of, is a flaw.

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/12244062/Bleed.PNG

Look at that pic on a high res monitor. It's way worse in person.

EDIT: Just an hour or 2 with the blue, I can say the white will be going back. Not only does the blue not have bleeding by the screen, the quality seems better. The LED is way more noticeable. The home button is more even compared to the white ones I've tried. The screen looks A WHOLE LOT better. The white surrounding distracts from the screen now that I've played with the blue one and noticed it. Even the brushed front looks more unique compared to the white.

WOW. After all the bashing I did to the blue one before. It looked so different online in pics. In person it's sexy for real.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zmore:
Doesn't look nearly that bad on my white S3. Either yours was defective, or it's a matter of opinion.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pytyper483:
+1
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] :
If yours has it even a little, then it's a defect. That's clearly not supposed to be there. All 5 32gb white ones I tried was like this in some way or another.

I'm kinda glad though. Cause it made me bite the bullet and get the blue. Never realized what I was missing.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] duxup:
I went with blue but honestly didn't care for either white or blue.

Man I'd love a ruby red or some other crazy color. I was going to put a case on it in the end anyway so it wasn't a big deal. Would have preferred other options but when you're selling 10million phones making a lot of choices I'm sure is hard.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] :
How do I test my phone to see if it's defective?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Turn the key lights on, use a black wallpaper, view it in a dark room. Make sure you give your eyes a minute to adjust in the dark.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Mine seems to be normal. 32Gb white
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] :
I still might exchange my white for blue, not sure yet
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Do it! You'll love it. I'm still amazed.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] :
I prolly am. From your experience. Can you tell me what you like better about white and blue?

What you have noticed

Nope. :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] colts187:
White. Blue has a purplish home button that looks gay
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Is that the only reason?

Do you actually like the white one?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] samven582:
Looks like I will be getting the blue for sure. Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zmore:
In person, it's better. Your picture is so exaggerated that it's funny :laugh: The light halo around the buttons on the White S3 isn't anywhere near that bad, even in complete darkness.

Here's a pic I just took of mine in near dark, and it's perfectly acceptable. Also, when the button backlights go off (in a couple seconds) they're completely invisible, unlike on the blue S3. ROMs will also have mods to disable the backlights if you want. (Try to ignore my ugly screen protector peeling up at the edges; I'm still waiting for Spigen's Curved Crystal to finally be released :) :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] :
You fail to see exactly what it is I'm referring to.

And of course yours doesn't show as much even if yours had it. Cause you're not even using a black background. . .

And the blue has invisible backlights too when they're off.

And how is the pictures exaggerated? It's exactly what's messed up with the phones.

And here's the image in its full size. Taken with a Canon 8 mp camera in a pitch black room. http://db.tt/PhG4xezJ

Every white gs3 I've tried, the led lights get this bright, and that's fine. But if you view the picture on a monitor and not the tapatalk app, you'll see the flaws I speak of. . . . . .
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] illusion787:
i voted for blue. i like it the best
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zmore:
Nothing is messed up. You're just intent on focusing on the backlight under extreme situations that people don't notice or even care about when they do notice.

BTW - another "flaw" that's present in many S3 AMOLED displays are the so-called "ink spots", which can only be seen in pitch black, with a black background being shown. VERY VERY few OCD people return their phone because of this though. :)

One more thing... FWIW... a new type of full-coverage screen protector called the Spectre Tempered Glass will be released soon, and it it's the first I've seen to cover over the "samsung" and the button halos with opaque material. So, with this on, there'd be zero halo (but I actually LIKE the halo glow)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] :
You must be slow or can't comprehend English or read or something. If you don't think that unsealed crack in the left picture above the white outside of the screen, or the very bright blue glow on the left of the right phone in the picture are flaws, then you're a retard. Plain and simple.

Those are 2 different phones side by side.

View the picture in full resolution on a freaking monitor and you'll see the flaws. I'm not talking about the backlit keys that glow!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zmore:
Big deal.

Loved the retard comment too. :highfive:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] redsoxticket:
Did you see the edge bleeding while viewing the screen with an image (normal use or movie) in a dark room ? How about a low light room ? How about a bright room ? I assume that the edge bleed light and glow around the capacitive buttons will always be there but noticable when ambient light is low. What say you. ty
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] :
I notice it (phone on the left) when watching movies and viewing dark images (tapatalk dark theme) or whatever as it's not sealed properly along the edge by the button and there's a line of white bleed there. In the sunlight or a bright room, it's not as bad.

On the other (phone on the right), you can see it all the time as it's so bright and blue it's noticeable all the time.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] redsoxticket:
Let us know in this thread when you get your blue phone if you see edge bleeding ? BTW did you get your phone today ?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] :

Glad I added that "Other (unreleased)" poll option in retrospect, now that there's a few more colors to choose from: Black, Gray, & Brown.

You really asked the store salesperson for a random color and got blue? That probably means white is more popular, because they had more blue in stock to give you to balance their inventory out... :)

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] etham3:
I'd have preferred the blue (white GS3 here) since the screen contrasts less with the bezel being white on mine. It would "blend" a little better if you get what I mean.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ejatds:
surprised there were more votes for blue. all the case threads/youtube videos mostly show white, and a lot of the stores around here don't have stock for white. personally i prefer the blue front and white back (blue is too shiny, looks a little odd with cases in certain angles). glad i got blue though :) might have gotten grey if it was available, but not worth the several month/half year wait for it.

Here's my story. When I first decided I wanted to purchase the Galaxy S3, I went into a small retail store from Bell, and looked at both colors, I had never had a white phone before so I had asked the clerk if I could have it in white, he told me they only have 32 gig editions of the white one which would of cost me an extra 50$. I decided in that split second going towards the blue edition and to be honest, I have come to love my phone very much. The subtle blue tone in the front converts to blue tinted gun metal hue that incorporates very well with the black case I got at the store. Every time I look at my phone I'm astonished at how polished and high quality Samsung has made sure it looked. And after installing the AOKP Jellybean Rom and KT747 Kernel. I truly believe this phone will last me a few good years. So in retrospect, I am thankful of that split second decision .

GS3 FTW !!
