hello everybody its Krista Laura from Android Authority and while a lot of the team is in Barcelona covering Mobile World Congress I'm here in New York City at Samsung's first look event taking a look at some other aspects of the galaxy s7 and galaxy s7 edge in this video I'm going to focus on the different color choices we have for the galaxy s7 first off the design of the galaxy s7 is pretty similar to last year's s6 so we have very similar color choices as well thanks to the glass still being used the colors this time around seemed a little more toned down you're not going to see any bright blues or greens but instead very neutral colors the galaxy s7 comes in three different colors black onyx gold platinum and white pearl however in the United States will be stuck to black onyx and gold platinum as the white pearl variant is not going to be released for US markets now the first thing I noticed when holding the black one right here is that wow it's actually black this time last year's as six was more of a bluish color especially in certain lighting which I know I wasn't too much of a fan of but this film looks really sleek in this true black color of course we still have this very reflective glass backing that looks really nice although some may still find it a little distracting especially given that the front of the phones are also made from this reflective glass but here on the black s7 we probably have the least distracting front this is definitely still going to be a fingerprint magnet but in the little time that I had playing around with the phone it didn't seem to be as bad as last year's it could have been due to the temperatures of the room or the lack of oil on our hands but it seemed to hold up very well today next we have gold platinum which will be your only other choice if you do not enjoy the black onyx and this here is a really flashy and fancy color that is extremely reflective you could almost use the back of this as seven as a mirror which definitely gives it an elegant look although some may say is a bit too much especially as it appears above and below the screen but if you can get past this a gold platinum version of the s7 is surely to catch one's eye it really is gorgeous in my opinion and that's for white pearl it does seem a little strange that such an iconic and simple color front on previous galaxy s phones is no longer an option within the US but it still does exist for other areas of the world and looks fantastic it's not as showy as the other colors and not as distracting when viewing the front of the phone especially with the white having less of a mirror look to it and you'll have a very tough time being able to make out finger prints with the white pearl model as well so that's all the colors for the galaxy s7 they look really nice and I'm sure a lot of us will prefer the true black of the black onyx version over the bluish black sapphire color of last year's s6 in the US this is a color you're going to be seeing a lot of people walking around with as the gold platinum maybe too flashy for some but anyway that'll do it for this video of the galaxy s7 s colors make sure you go check out the galaxy s7 edges colors comparison as well as they do differ a bit and make sure you stay tuned here at Android Authority for more coverage on the galaxy s7 and more as we are your source for all things Android
