What color S8/S8+ should you buy?

[KupKrazy]

I'm surprised by how many folks want the Midnight Black. It looks nice but its a fingerprint MAGNET...lol I'm down with the Orchid Gray

The black works well with whatever color case you buy.

Yep. That's what I went with.

I went with the gray but might have gone with the Coral Blue if it was available on VZW.

the midnight black looks awesome, like one slab of glass when the screen is off. but i'm contemplating on waiting for the note 8.

Why wait, get the S8 and then sell it to get the Note 8

I think I've already commented on this thread... But I'm revisiting my thoughts on the S8 and I am falling for it! I'd love Coral Blue, Arctic Silver, or the Grey.

T-mobile only had 3 color choices: Midnight Black, Arctic Silver, Orchid Grey. I ordered the S8 in Orchid Grey.

Ordered the Silver. Hopefully I don't regret not grabbing the Orchid Gray.

I would have been all over Coral Blue.

I loved the look of the silver and the orchid gray. Went with the gray just to have something different. The black looks good but also looks like a fingerprint nightmare.

Regardless I'll put a case on it so it doesn't really matter.

midnight black....but same - case is going on it (Samsung Alcantara-already in my hands), so it doesn't really matter.

Good choice! That's a gorgeous colour!

My orchid gray arrived today and I'm VERY happy with my choice. It has lots of different looks in different lighting, all of them appealing so far.

Orchid Grey. Something different this time as I already have two devices in Black!

Yes! I love it when different types of light cast different shades of colour on one's devices.

I have the orchids gray s8+. I have a semi clear case and a black case for it

That sounds like the perfect setup!

I went with the S8+ in Black, I thought it looked awesome but I also use a case that covers most of the phone up Too bad it's not available in Flat Black....

Cheers,

After looking at the display models at the Verizon store, I chose to order an Arctic Silver S8+, though I did consider Midnight Black as well. Normally I like black on my phones. But like what some have said here, I did notice that Midnight Black tended to show much more fingerprints, which I felt detracted from the phone's aesthetic appeal. I didn't get a chance to look at an Orchid Gray model, but when I compared the Arctic Silver to Midnight Black, I felt that the Arctic Silver had a more premium look to the phone and didn't show as much (if any) fingerprints.

I never use a case for my phones as I take good care of them, so how the phone looks without a case is something I consider when buying one.
