I have personally avoided upgrading my Galaxy Ultra for a few years now because of the lack of good colors. It is sad to see the vibrant, lovely pink on a phone with worse specs than the one I have now. I would love to see a bubblegum pink made available on the Ultra. They have been glorified versions of silver, grey, and black for a couple years now.

      I suspect that the lower grade phones have nicer colors as a selling lure.  Many people will buy sizzle over steak every time.  Much the same way some car manufacturers put zippy, fun colors on their base, economy model (you know, the kind you give to your new driver teenager). The color is usually the only thing the product has going for it.

      Which is what I find so unfortunate: "pink it and shrink it". I want both - high quality tech and at least one fun color that has some vibrancy to it. There can always be a black/grey/silver choice, but I do think they'd see better sales if they included one good color in the ultra line up. It is the sole reason I have not upgraded from my 24.

      I either don't use a case or choose one that is clear so I can see my phone color. Always been my preference. I usually go with their green colors but even the greens have been basically silver or grey these past two years. The s23 was a great green and the 24 is okay - it is what I have now.

      I, personally, enjoy black, blue, or red. The only other color i will accept is Saints Row purple, and only if it literally says Saints Row on it. I'm not a fan of Matte colors at all, though. i mean even the case looks kinda blah to me, so i understand perfectly.

      I honestly don't care too much about the colors being bland what matters most to me is that the device is great and all the stuff on the inside like cameras etc.Besides that alot of people put a case in their phone

      I agree with you. I have a case on mine. black. i Just don't like that this is the only black color available. i like gloss tbh, but that's beside the point. Black is supposed to actually be black, not some off-color. Much like if a person wants white, it should be whiteout white, not egg shell white. just saying.

      White is actually a range of colors - I'm not talking about the off whites and ecrus and eggshells, There is a range of "white" that when you put them side by side you can actually see the difference, where separately to the naked eye they all look white.  Add that to putting white in plastic, it's not going to be pure - same with black - there are varying shades.

      Oh i know. and I'm not actually complaining. I'm just saying that even i have my favorites. i like my black to be pitch black for instance. instead this is the only black available. it's still black and black is one of my 3 favorite colors. I'm just not a fan of this black.
