Been thinking about replacing the current smartphone, as the touchscreen seems to be failing(Screen replacement seems to be not so economic).

Saw different colours being offered. Black, White, Blueish and Greenish colours were common.

Does the external body colour affect the efficiency of the phone? Like, in heat going out or going in? Or the ease of cleaning it? White colours seem to show presence of dust etc?

And are there other places where the colour matters?
I’ve read that white roofs generally have a lower heat gain than other ones(without infrared reflecting paint).

      I bought a small metal clip that hangs out the charging port of my case and tied a ribbon to it. I also keep my phone on a neon lanyard during big events or when I don’t have pockets.

      Indeed.
      I had read an article that said that black cars may be more likely to get into accidents, citing some study. Not sure if it was confirmed by other studies, but it seems to be a good point to consider.
