14 DAY TRIAL // Samsung’s Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus are expected to be unveiled on March 29, while the phones will be made available during the second half of April. The smartphone has been spotted in multiple color options, including white and gold.
There have been reports saying that Galaxy S8 will come in a number of colors, like black, silver, violet or purple. A Redditor posted a screenshot from a retailer in Brazil, hinting at three color variants for the upcoming phone.
The retailer requests customers to sign up with their email address to get early notifications about the new Galaxy S8. The retailer also asks customers to vote on the color that they would “prefer for the New Galaxy.” The options are black, silver and amethyst.
Multiple color variants for the Galaxy S8
Recent reports have hinted at a purple color variant for the Galaxy S8, which is quite close to amethyst shades. A more varied palette of colors for Galaxy S8 would certainly appeal to customers, as they could find a shade that would appeal to their preferences. In addition, an amethyst color variant would certainly make the phone stand out and would represent a break from the usual gold or pink gold monotony.
Samsung seems to be seeking multiple ways to make the Galaxy S8 appealing to a vast number of customers, considering that it’s the first flagship phone announced by the company, after the Galaxy Note 7 fiasco.
It remains to be seen how the amethyst color will blend with the smaller bezels on the upcoming phone, especially since the Galaxy S8 is said to feature a 5.8-inch display, while the Galaxy S8 Plus will have a 6.2-inch screen.
Presumably, the black color variant would look the nicest, seeing how it will fluently merge with the larger display and make top and bottom bezels almost indistinguishable when the screen is off. Of course, the preference for varied color variants is subjective; some users prefer their phones black, while others enjoy lively tones and shades.
