For the longest time, phone manufacturers have been conservative with the colors that they use in their handsets. The usual black or dark colors were the norm. Lately though, we’re seeing more and more flagship phones that come with pristine white colors and oftentimes, they sell more than any other available colors.
Take for example these new handsets from the several brands — the BlackBerry Z10, Samsung Galaxy S4, HTC One X+ and the iPhone 5 (see photo below).
Of the 4 white-colored handsets above, we’ve also had the chance to use the black versions. With the Z10, the black version doesn’t look are defined as the white version. Same goes with the HTC One X+ — the cruved edges of the glass display is more prominent with the white.
With the iPhone 5, it’s somewhat a tie — the black version looks elegant but a bit subdued while the white version looks more bold and pristine, like the Apple Macbook Air. In the case of the Galaxy S4, it’s almost a tie as well.
Years ago, white wasn’t an option and black is the top choice. These days, it seems like white is the new black.
Do let us know in the comments what you think between the black and white versions of the same model of phone.

Hmm. Obviously Sony smartphones look stylish no matter what color they are – the design is just impeccable. However, one could say that those white flagships of Sony simply have that little extra which raises them above competition.

The white iphone 5 has a premium feel than the rest, just my own opinion…
I’m still waiting for the silver/white HTC One, the build quality looks immaculate.

I prefer na color black pa rin ang kulay nang mga handset. Kapag nakakakita ako nang mga gadgets na katulad nito, unang pumapasok sa isip ko ang iPhone and iPod. And in my opinion, mas cool tingnan and white while black naman ay seductive ang dating.

Black is still on my back. Nexus 4 in Black looks sinister. I have one too.

agree… among phones in existence… Lumia lines have better aesthetics… i wish i can afford Lumia 920… white is a first option… its a contrast to what i currently own – LG Prada 3.0…
