[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GG2012:
I must agree that Black Mist is more sleek and sexy (I'm getting my Black S4 tomorrow).

However, will the fingerprints on it be sexy? That's what I like to know for those getting black.

I bought a Neo Hybrid case, but know I'm not sure if I want to put this bad boy in a case.

I think the sleek design has to be shown off, and can't do that in a case.

I was thinking of getting a full body protector, to maybe help with the fingerprints problem.

Anyone else doing this?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sp1tfire:
Black S4 is a fingerprint magnet, both on screen and on the back. I use a screen protector and a slim transparent back cover.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ms.Dummbunny:
i got the white and its much nicer than the s3 in white but then i switched to Sprint and got the black, due to most of the reason y'all stated above. Also the notification light seems like an actual "light" on the black model, not a "glow" like the white model...

But, the black is killing me due to all the fprints, which i knew going in and now i kinda regret it, becuz all the smudges sooooo detract from any "sex appeal" lol....Clear body protector seems a good way to go, think i'll look into that...Skinomi seems like a good brand,, anyone ever try them?

thanx!

I actually thought the opposite - the pictures look better. But it is still one sexy, "glassy" phone.

If you haven't gotten them already, you're out of luck. Seems they are now on backorder until next week (at the earliest).

I think what we've learned in this thread is that, 1) black is sleek and sexy, 2) if you had a white phone, you want black now, and vice versa. Change is good.

The textured back on the back looked like ugly fish scales when it first came. I've gotten used to it, but if I really look at it closely, especially at the top, it can look a bit weird. The back does feel more flimsy than I saw on the videos. Thought it would be much sturdier.

Texture is more visible on the Black Mist. Sensors/camera are more visible on the White Frost.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ash_bg:
I've just changed my order so i can get the "black" color on the S4. Yes i got tricked with the white color, as all the usual phones are mainly dark, so i decided to get the white one,but then i look back at my Black Evo 3D and damn it looks really good so, i changed my order by phone.Anyway,i still think it's all about the contrast between the frame and the screen .All the themes/wallpapers - light/dark, seems to look better on the black coloured s4, than the white one. I really don't like the white S4 combined with the default blue wallpaper, kinda boring :silly: :D

p.s. Remember it's all about what you've got under the hood :victory:

Gotta admit I've always been a white phone fan but after having the s3 in white and getting light from the led notification and keys at bottom bleeding and being more a glow than a light with shape I went for the black s4 and i'm glad I did.

The pattern on the back is really nice and hides a lot of the fingerprints...

Coming from a black S3 and a titanium grey Note 2, my white S4 is a clean look. The chrome-ish margins look really good with the white color and warm-light default backgrounds stand out.

Not all white versions of phones are appealing, for example the reason for swapping my white Note 2 was its looks.

IMO Galaxy S4 and the way Samsung made its default look, seems prettier wearing white.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DOVahFeyN:
I actually physically compared the black and white S4 (i9505) before finally making a decision. The white actually looks good with the faux metal strip that surrounds it, it's nicely made and goes well with the white (does not make it look cheap). The black looks good, but what swayed me to get white is the fact that it (black color) can smudge easily and it is very visible in the back part. Surprisingly the pattern in the white is visible and it makes it look classy IMHO.

I think black is better because you can easily match it with various color of flip cover.

White with white flip is nice but it will turn yellowish after a while and may need lot of cleaning
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Funkym0nkey:
The problem with black is that it is fingerprint magnet and fingerprints stand out on black colour.

I have black mist as well. I have case so back is covered, but it is very hot here at the moment and oily finger prints stand out even on front near the speaker and on buttons. Just makes it look bad. I had white Note 2 and SGS3 and went for black this time because black was available. I might just sell this and go white again. It does catch fingerprints, but they are not as visible as they are on black.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tozenator:
I was really worried about the "sparkly" pattern effects on the S4. But when I saw it in real life it looked nowhere as bad as in pictures, it looked GREAT. The pattern is much more noticeable on the black than on the white, but it just makes it look better. Also, in my country only people who preordered got black ones, since the carrier had problems with stock. Apparently someone cancelled their preorder so I got their black one. Made me feel special for that week it took for carriers to get more blacks. :laugh:

So black looks a little more "elite" to me. Also, I think more case colors go better with black. Thus, black.

Black seems to be the choice of the most!! I saw a video of AURORA RED GS4 just few days ago...but it is only for U.S costumers (AT&T).:crying:

Just like it, the blue and brown color variation of the Samsung Galaxy S4 isn't yet official, but it will probably debut pretty soon.

[General Topics] tripleoptic:
I have read so many reviews regarding the HTC One and Galaxy S4 my head is spinning. I think both are great phones but the thing that stands out for me is the removable battery for the S4.

I doubt most reviewers/editors actually use these devices for 2 years (normal contract) to actually experience a decline in battery life so I was hoping I could get some opinions from you guys on the subject.

My last few smart phones have always experienced some kind of degraded battery over time. Whether that is a few hours of life versus the new original battery or the battery is totally dead and causing random reboots and bulging to show issues with the cells.

Due to these past experiences having the ability to replace a battery over the phones life time is not a want but a need.

The ideal situation would be for phones that do not have a removable battery to warranty it for the normal contract span of two years. Or for battery tech to progress to a point where this is no longer a concern.

What have your experiences been? Do you agree or do you think in the last couple years they have made leaps and bounds in battery reliability? I currently have a GS2 so I'm a couple generations behind but I have not seen anything mentioning new battery tech in the latest devices. Thanks.
[General Topics] 350Rocket:
In my experience 3 different HTC desires and my old nexus one from 2-3 years old still had at least 3/4 of their original battery life. I traded the nexus for a desire HD and it needs a new battery, vibrator motor, and USB port (dishonest seller) so I've found many can go a few years on an original battery but usage habits can effect that too.

Non replaceable batteries are still replaceable so if u want to keep it a long time its probably not a huge deal to open it up and replace.

Hey guys,

Are you using the 9.6 or 13 megapixel setting?

I'm not sure which one is better because the ratio is different, what are most people using?

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] GeorgeP:
Neither is better. It's really a matter of personal preference. They both have the same pixel "density." The 9.6 setting gives you what you would get if you started with the 13 setting and cropped the top and/or the bottom to change the aspect ratio from 4128 x 3096 to 4128 x 2322.

I typically use the 13 setting because it gives me more flexibility. I can keep the 4x3 ratio or crop to 16x9.
