Samsung Plans to Launch 'Jet Black' Version of Galaxy S7 in Early December

[44267547]

It was an option on the Note 7 back in the summer - I'd guess it was always on the cards to roll out across the range.

Makes sense. Samsung didn't just come up with a new color over night and ready for a release with in weeks. That's months in preparation.

Are we not going to talk about the silly names for a colour? Jet Black, really?

I wish the next iPhone comes in glossy black and glossy white and call then... wait for it—black and white. Or if they really want to baptize a colour, how about Piano and Pearl. Kill Rose Gold and Gold while they are at it.

Yo whatsup whatz ur problem with the black color dud?

Nine month old? Just Samsung playing catch-up.

Yup. The presentation in this article is pretty daft, and has launched another "Samsung copied Apple!" myth. A) They did it already, b) Even if they hadn't, there hasn't been the manufacturing lead time anyway.

I remember shiny black on tech being despised because it looks like cheap plastic...

Oh, 2016...
[doublepost=1479791407][/doublepost]And Samsung had a shiny black option before Apple, just not this model...

Looks so good i gonna buy the new model rispect

I'm afraid you can't buy that, because while otherwise excellent, it occasionally blew up.

Hopefully it wasn't the paint.

This is a good idea. It'll hide the scorch marks.

This is really strange. The S7 already has "Black Onyx" and "Titanium Silver" variants. They could really only darken the metal edges of the device, seems like a waste of a SKU.

I find it hard to believe this is the SKU that's going to break their business model:

Samsung will be using Apple parts in their phones next, can you imagine that ?

Ummmm, wait a minute............

 

[thasan]

I hope nobody beat me to it...

You forgot to add a flame in this advert

It's like Samsung aren't even trying to be discreet anymore. What's next, a new 5.5 inch S7 or 6 that'll be called the Plus model? oh, wait...

 

[DUIduckSAUCE]

I'm pretty sure my s7 is jet black. Haven't pulled it out of my closet since I got the 7 plus.

Early December? That's so soon... Samsung can never compete with Apple... At least after the exploding Galaxy Note7 has caused Samsung's reputation set back, they can never fill the void (as far as I can see till now)...

P.S. I thought that they would have planned to roll their new 'Jet Black' Version of Galaxy S7 this Christmas 2016

 

[Joecool5150]

They are so pathetic ... it started back when they used to copy Sony they have always done this and got away with it that's why I won't buy anything Samsung .... love my sony tv's!

I'm the same. I just can't justify paying good money to the Koreans. They lack any taste and class....

Hmmm... I might add it.

They already did. They had a batman edition

Oh Samsung thank God you don't own Android but just a vehicle for it. So hard to defend you these days.

This right here, thank god touchwiz isn't standard Android.

Actually I remember on the Samsung threads at one of the android forums some guys going bonkers over a "murdered out black" S7. I think it was a limited edition Batman model.

Maybe this is that model without the Batman stuff on it. I can't be sure but from what I remember of the photos the Batman S7 Edge did look very black like this.

Oh well, it's funny if this is true because I was admiring a black S7 at Best Buy a week or so ago and thought to myself that I would be tempted if it were more deep black...and if I didn't just have a huge vet bill to pay for my stray kitty friend who passed away. Lol, and if I didn't already have three great phones in rotation. Four, if we count my IPhone 6S Plus.

Oops, I was typing my reply and fixing typos when this post came in. Yep, I think this is the same color as the Batman edition released a long time ago.

I love reading the comments section when Macrumors post something about Samsung, all the fans come alive for a kumbaya moment in repetitive jokes.

 

[gwaizai]

included freebie: a matching glossy black pocket fire extinguisher

 

[elmaco]

How? It's a nice color.

Because they are unable to even select a new color on their phones.

They didn't think black was a nice color. They thought, what is Apple doing, let's do the same.

That's an assumption backed up only by a hatred of Samsung.

 

[thekeyring]

Even if Apple managed to copy the iPhone completely, and add a cherry on top, you still have to accept you're buying an iPhone knock off.

Say the Galaxy S3 had killed the iPhone, and we'd had no more iPhones after the iPhone 5. Would the current Android phones from Samsung, Sony, etc have fingerprint scanners and Android Pay? I doubt it.

Can't be feeling any lower than the Apple 6/6+ and 6s/6s+ owners are feeling right now and all the problems they currently going through - they're hiding those logos with no brand cases and skins.

What kind of deluded world are you living in. No one I know who owns an iPhone is ashamed of the Apple logo. No one on my commute looks sheepish using their iPhones - and pretty much everyone in London seems to.
