As far as hardware is concerned can someone please say what the two headphone jack looking things are on the bottom?

They can be seen on this photo ...

They are the screws that secures the battery cover.

Haha, I feel stupid now... cheers for the info though ... hopefully they won't stand out too much

Can anyone tell me what kind of gaming performance I should expect from the Adreno 320? Thanks.

Check this photo from the FCC so you figure out.

This should give you what you want.

tl;dr It's good

adridu59 · Oct 31, 2012

So, the camera is supposed to take good pictures ? (not like the Gnex...)

I wonder how it will compete against GS3 cam..

Monkeybrew · Oct 31, 2012

Are you sure about GLONASS support? I know the chip supports it, but it has to be activated in software. many HTC phones for example have snapdragon chips that support GLONASS, but they are crippled in software.
Also, it seems the optimus g doesn't have GLONASS either.

At the moment, the only thing we know is that the hardware supports it. Wether it is is disabled in software is another matter, and if it turns out it is then I will change it.

The only thing I would say about the LG Optimus G is that no one has confirmed it doesn't support it either. As it is in the hardware, it may just be something people don't mention as no one outside of the tech community has heard of it. Also, it may sound a little racist, but if you tell most non-technical westerners that their phone is using a satellite navigation system design and operated by the Russian government, they may see it as a turn off. Sad, but true.

Hopefully it'll make the N4s battery accessible. Or at least more fixable.

Guess we'll have to wait for the teardown.
