While Greenery may be the new Pantone color of the year for 2017, blue is undoubtedly the color that’s caught the imagination of the smartphone industry.

From Shenzhen to Silicon Valley, smartphone manufacturers the world over gave users a shiny new color to pick from. Move over rose gold; this year, blue is the new black.

Here are five phones that come in awesome shades of blue. Warning: None of these photos do them justice!

SAMSUNG GALAXY S7 EDGE / GALAXY A5 and A7 (2017)

While the Galaxy Note 7 may be gone for good, one our favorite color-ways lives on in other Samsung phones. Last year’s Galaxy S7 Edge comes in the exact same “Blue Coral” and the new Galaxy A5 and A7 (2017) smartphones come in “Blue Mist.” Samsung’s take on our unofficial color of the year is either a light metallic shade that echoes the blues of the sky when hit by the right light which contrasts surprisingly well against a gold trim (for Blue Coral — our favorite) or a lighter periwinkle shade that’s closer to power blue (for Blue Mist).

GOOGLE PIXEL

Take my money now! Sure, the Google Pixel has a lot going for it tech-wise, but I would have bought this phone just for its its limited edition color alone, if only the blue model didn’t sell out mere minutes upon the pre-order page going live. The phone comes with a white face and a glass and metal back painted in a rich royal blue. Google calls it Really Blue and we agree!

SONY XPERIA XZ and X COMPACT

Sony couldn’t decide between dark or light blue, so it gave us both. The Xperia XZ comes in a luxurious midnight blue that’s shiny plastic up front and metallic on its back. Lay it face down on a table and it’s hard not to admire. It’s little brother the Xperia X Compact comes in a soft powdery hue.

XIAOMI REDMI NOTE 4

Blue on a budget, the Redmi Note 4 is one of our favorite budgets phablets of last year. Initially available in the usual colors (gold and silver), the Chinese tech giant delivered a dark blue model in time for the holidays and it’s flying off shelves. For $225, it’s hard not to see why.

HONOR 8

Talk about shiny! The online-only Honor 8 smartphone by Huawei catches the light in the most amazing of ways, giving it a luminescent glow. For a midrange offering, this phone is in every way a winner already, but if you find yourself in doubt, its good looks should be enough to win you over.
