Results: are we over fully black phones now?

Black phones have been trending for the past year. Apple revived the color and made it cool again by introducing not one but two new black finishes with the iPhone 7. Since then, things picked up, and we got most major player making black-on-black versions of their flagships now. Is it cool? Sure, it's Matrix Neo levels of cool. But are we getting a bit overexposed with phones in the low-key color?

We thought we'd ask you how you feel about it and it turns out we are not quite sated with blackout handsets yet. 73% of voters want more of them, while only 15% said they are tired of the color. Well, we are expecting major reveals from Samsung, Apple, LG, and Sony, among others, in a month's time, so let's see if they keep going with the stealth phones!
