When Buying A Phone, Do You Care About The Colour Or You Just Pick Whatever? by onlyedwin(op): 10:15pm On Aug 21, 2025
I was just thinking about this today… 🤔 When you walk into a phone shop to buy a new device, do you just grab any colour that’s available, or are you the type that must get your preferred colour even if it means waiting or paying extra?

I remember when I got my phone I wanted black, told them and they said it was out of stock, I felt really disappointed and was almost ready to walk away because they didn't have it then miraculously they found a black in their store room. So it got me thinking about the colours phones come in a little more and if it matters to people as it did me.

And yunno these days, phone brands are really giving us variety. Gone are the days when it was just boring black, silver or white. Now we see:

iPhone 15 in Blue, Pink, Yellow, Green, Black

Samsung Galaxy S24 in Onyx Black, Marble Gray, Cobalt Violet, Amber Yellow

Tecno Camon 30 with Glacier Glow and Iceland Basaltic Dark, Camon 40 Glacier white and Emerald lake green

Infinix Zero Ultra in Coslight Silver and Genesis Noir, Note 50 in titanic grey and shadow black

realme C61 in forest green, C75x in Coral pink and oceanic blue, C71 in forest owl or black night


Really interesting colours right? (See names nau😂). The colours alone sometimes make you fall in love with the phone before even checking the specs. ✨So my people, how do you buy your phones?

-Any colour as long as the phone is available?
-Or you’re colour-conscious like me and will wait until you find that perfect shade?

Let’s gist. 😅 For me sha I must get my colour o, it has to be something I love.

Na colour I dey chop or functionality? Back in the day, even today, I was handed down phones. I will pick a colour only if the option is available during sale. If extra money is attached, I am not doing.

When ever I want to buy a phone, I’m always confused on which colour to pick, especially android phones like Tecno. They have really eye catchy colours
Re: When Buying A Phone, Do You Care About The Colour Or You Just Pick Whatever? by Oyinkan99: 11:10pm On Aug 24, 2025
Am have picky when it comes to colour that why I got stuck with the realmeC75x the coral pink is stunning

Color adds to the vibe, but performance matters more.
Re: When Buying A Phone, Do You Care About The Colour Or You Just Pick Whatever? by Praizee5: 11:19pm On Aug 24, 2025
Would you still buy your dream phone if it only came in a color you don’t like?
Re: When Buying A Phone, Do You Care About The Colour Or You Just Pick Whatever? by Praizee5: 11:23pm On Aug 24, 2025

if you are after colour, then you would use your phone nakedly like that without using phone case and other accessories. Which is dangerous incase your phone falls down, nothing to protect it
Re: When Buying A Phone, Do You Care About The Colour Or You Just Pick Whatever? by nani667:
Color matters to me o... las las I go still use Case but if the case is transparent (of which I must have at least one transparent case), the color will still show... and if the color will show I need to be able to dictate the color that will show.

Personally Tecno is always the brand I’d always go for the make it easier to pick colors without so much pondering,their coconuts are so catchy
Re: When Buying A Phone, Do You Care About The Colour Or You Just Pick Whatever? by TyroneP(m): 11:43am On Aug 30, 2025
I'm colour specific too. Even in any thing I buy. It's either grey or black.
Re: When Buying A Phone, Do You Care About The Colour Or You Just Pick Whatever? by Fonjewel0(f): 10:30pm On Sep 04, 2025
Colors o! That’s why I love brands that are intentional about colors, example Bamboo green of Spark 40 series
