Black or White Nexus 5

[Roby]

Hey,

 

Deciding between a white and black Nexus 5 and my biggest concern is how both of them look months later. I like the soft touch material of the black, but I'm worried it'll get kind of grimy after a few months of use.

 

Anyone that owns either colour: how does it look after having used it for a while? Does the back of the black get gross from fingerprints/stain? Does the white discolour or get dirty easily?

 

Thanks!

I dont own either but personally i would go for the black one

I personally like the white more. Also from what I have heard the white doesn't change color very easily. Also I don't know anyone of them.

Scratches won't look as bad on it as it will on a white phone.

Get a white one and paint it half black.

I have a white one. I LOVE the looks, hate the material. Sometimes I regret not getting the black version. I would get the black just for the more grippy backing.

The black is soft touch. It's very nice, and doesn't attract dirt easily at all.

One thing to consider is the white one is a gloss plastic around the frame, where as the black is more soft touch.

+1 for black cause of the soft plastic

I prefer white, but you should choose black so less scratches will be visible

I will go for white because I really care about my stuff. If you don't care much about your device then you should go for black one.

If you choose white than you have to put on cover or other stuffs.

The black is so nice, but it's not as grippy as you would think soft touch would be
