Mirror Purple exterior color in close look - Sony Xperia 1 II Guides, News, & Discussion

see post bellow

This color is something else!. Shifting from mirror grey to purple indepence of environment.
Device looks very expensive from any corners. Specially nice to see a black screen with grayish purple metal frames. Basically sometimes it gives exactly same bmw/mercedes purple windshield reflections lmaoo
Another choice was a white. (Didn’t like aluminum frames in close viewing point, but very nice on a sun thought, because light aluminum frame color shifting to white and matching white back cover)

I originally wanted the Black but didn’t find it in stock when ordering online, so went for the Purple ahead of the white as I don’t like seeing white frames around the bezels when consuming media content.
And Boy was I happy I that I couldn’t find the black in stock!! The Purple is so gorgeous and look very expensive.
I’m about to apply a trusted clear skin to the back as it’s so unfair not to enjoy the Colour of this phone as well as it’s feel in the hand.

Lmao my previous Xperia 1 was in black....it was a nightmare... constantly dusty and fingerprinted.

This is fast unboxing for Xperia 1ii purple version

The purple is nice but not a fan of the black buttons/fingerprint reader. Would have been better if they were matching the colour of the phone.

Purple looks great! Though I wasn't a fan of the chrome look in different lights. I went with the black especially when I read about the paint peeling off for white/purple variants.

I'm in the US so I have the black version but I really want the purple one. I never thought I would say I wanted a purple phone but man is it sharp. I'm trying hard to keep myself from ordering a 2nd one in purple.

To be honest i was nervous because AT52 firmware and i couldn't install at51 US base firmware.
But after sony release new version of US firmware everything went like on previous Xperia Devices... smooth. Now I have at52 with US a51 firmware and my favorite color !

How did you flash the US firmware on to the AT52?
And which FW is the new one?
Thank you.

Man this looks so stylish lol... for some reason reminds me of an audi R8. I cant wait for this! btw is it me or did anyone else notice that theme dev. are teasing the public???
looks real good man
whoa.. lookin nice..
This theme looks awesome. Maybe consider hitting up Stericson so you can change the time to white font... would make the theme flow a little better. I love this theme, as well as Gloss Black. Is this going to be a theme competition entry?
My this theme looks very futuristic homie. Im very impressed.I been lookin for a cool theem to rock wit, this will definately be it. Its very well streamed lines
& it gives the android a sleek sexy display like the Iphone. Great Work.
P.S. I only have one suggestion. I think that it would put this phone over the top. make the dialer buttons match that amazing clock. make it clear glass with some smooth black in the middle or complete glass clear like how you did the regular "FOLDER" on the home screen.
what do u think???
Very good job, i really like this theme. Can wait for it to drop.
Looks amazing!
Nice! Someone needs to release black glass theme already so I can stop drooling all over the keyboard
Isn't "Dark Symmetry" the final level in Half Life 2?
Edit: Negatory, it was "Dark Energy."
Great theme! Cant wait to try it out.
Very nice. I can't wait until this is completed.
Hey man Iposted a hackers theme also. i think it loks very futurisitic. im looking for someone to make it. maybe you could take a look at it &tell me what u think.
heres the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=468254&page=9
This is awesome!! I want it!!!
looking forward to this release.
The "email" and "messaging" could use a bit more definition. Maybe add a fine line to the edge of the email icon. and add a tiny bit of lettering to the messaging icon. imho*

Which one, portrait, landscape or both?
it looks like the edges of both landscape and portrait are a bit diagonal, instead of rounded. thats all i see with the launcher tab. Theme looks great!

Also it looks like theres a little blue dot at the corner of the launch tab. Should be an easy fix. Good looking theme so far. I used your macdroid back when it had the darker look. I look forward to this one.
Sweet looking theme, better than your other one.
My only suggestion would be the box around the time, maybe make it more stylized, drop shadow or maybe make the edges smooth. Make it look sunken in instead of a plain white box. Good job all around.

HTC Branded Hotness, not my style but to each his own, so keep in up man.
Purple may look good too
Good Great Awsome WHooo
Man I like this keep it the same dont put purple in it it looks good the way it is bro
It looks cool. Straight up HTC.
Personally, I'd take the HTC logo off of the notification bar because it may make it difficult to read for someone with a lot of icons up there.
Oh, and I'd leave the app drawer as just a black tab with a green dot rather than a whole droid, but that's just me.
Leave it the way it is man it looks great!
looks hot man!
looks good. However I do perfer the Icons to be not square. I just kinda makes them look out of place with the other apps IMO. but great job I will be using this theme once it comes out.
Great looking theme, i like it. Very good theme subject aswell.
I have some suggestions if you don't mind...I think you should change the glossy effect on the entire theme like instead of coming halfway down the square (which is seen too much) have it come down from an angle left top or right top same for the status bar because it makes the status bar look thinner, and speaking of the status bar the left side should be some tint of green like the right side or maybe some grey so that we'd be able to see some icons up there like weatherbug, definitely get rid of that HTC logo because the phone is already branded, also the clock should not be the same logo as Market in my opinion, how bout that grid that the Android is standing on get some green lines where the black is, I think you should circle the 3G like the battery and maybe fill up the circle when it's uploading or downloading and last but not least I think you should change the pull-up tab because the default rectangular one is so tacky and boring maybe change it to the Android it self like Fade To Blue and keep it grey so that when you touch it it turns green but besides that I love the colors especially Matrix Green...that's my fav, well sorry all for such long feedback but I thought I should be honest and I just had a lot to say and besides how else are you gonna perfect your craft if you don't have critics like me...Thanks for your time.
i think its perfect
except for the fact i think the icons shouldnt have the square around them but they shud still b kinda glossy
and the 3G icon kinda bothers me
Job Well Done!
Looks Awesome! You did a great job. My only complaint is the HTC Logo in the top. Other than that I cant wait till you release!

I love the looks =)
I agree though, a tad less on the gloss, I'm positive those icons with that amount of "Gloss" will be hard to notice, by icon, in sunlight.
OMG!
I cannot wait for this.
*going to bookmark right away*
Very sweet!
Damn this is awesome too! Cheers guys!
is there going to be an update of screen shots coming out to see how its going? Right now im in 5.0.1(appstosd) but i love this theme and i am willing to switch back to JFv1.42 Keep us up to date and good work manup
love it as is, make this for haykuro 5.0.x builds and this would be the first theme id gladly pay for
New Pics posted and i'm making this for 5.0G and maybe RC33.
Official piece..
i see u:d!! Grinding!! Authentic...

[Wallpapers] WP7 Lock Screens! [10/28]

Seeing as how we can't currently add wallpapers beneath the tiles, I figured we could at least get some going for the lock screen. I'll start off with a few right now, but plan to add a lot more. Right-click and "Save Image As..." on the wallpapers you want. You can find many of these wallpapers over at deviantArt.com. Enjoy.

That looks pretty clean. Where's the picture from? WP7 choice?
Was going to create a thread but I saw this one.
This is what I use atm to show off the very vibrant SAMOLED in Omnia 7.
Saw some very good ones here that I might use.
Very nice!!! Thanks
I'm working on a few myself. I'm just modifying a few I have to fit WP7 screen.
Will post them later.

I can't stand them... they are a bad attempt to look retro.
I prefer a black phone, but I thought the white Sprint GSII looked pretty good. I had the black one before I switched to Verizon.
a friend got a white iPhone 4
it is getting lightly yellow at the edges, looks like never washed fingers, lol

Much better in beige, you know, IBM PC style (kidding!)
White phone = hipster phone
Wanna be iphone.
My grandma beat me down and took my nexus. Sent from a jitterbug with beats by dre.
I love most phones when they're in white, but this one...not so much. Might look better in person though.
Ugly ugly ugly!
I don't understand the whole white phone thing. Maybe of it was red or neon colors imo that would be cool but white? That's dumb

I would totally dig a red one.
they are also doing a 32gb hspda+ black one.

In my opinion Nexus S in white, or rather black and white looked pretty nice I think that some phones do look better in white but there are very few.
This one looks like crap and I hope it's just someones photoshop work.
Stupid... but of course now my girlfriend wants one. At least she can respect the hardware/software I guess!
The sole reason why white doesn't make sense is because the black soft key area won't blend in with the bottom of the phone anymore. Same with the top notification bar.
It doesn't look uniform anymore from the bezel to the screen. Not only does the result look ugly, but it now seems as if the screen is somewhat smaller.

Agreed. Most likely it'll stay black because its a Super AMOLED HD screen.
Whites = use a lot of power on AMOLED screens whereas blacks use none.
Picture of front & back. It's a different picture than the one I posted yesterday. Looks a bit better.

I was also thinking of grey as here in india we have craze of white from car to phone to cover. like if some one wants car he will go for white and for cars white color is going USD2000 in black.
and all samsung phones here even is 100usd or 900 usd , all go 4 white.
so, grey will be unique and 90% m with grey.
btw, is there any pros and cons of white VS Grey ?
If you need help just for the colour of your phone I don't wanna be there when you will chose your car or or your computer lol ...

White
Fired From My FireDevice.
go with Grey
When using a white phone in bright sunlight, the white parts get so bright that you can't see the screen. I saw this on a friend's S3. The blacker the phone, the better the contrast with the screen. I'm very disappointed that Samsung didn't release a black version, though I'm sure they will make a carrier-specific black model like the S3 has in some countries, but only after I have bought mine, because I'm that lucky .
I'm picking up a grey one tomorrow. I'll never buy a white phone.
Grey 4 sure.......
grey, the metalic color is great
The shiny,titanium grey looks and feels "rich"
GREY of course
i ordered the white and i like it...but after seeing the gray in person, i want that one more...the gray looked boring online but in person its elegant...
