I would say back top end of the phone.
It will probably still have bump for aerials on the bottom like all previous.

Doubt that it's the back top end as there is no rear camera visible.

Did you see the app's that need dual core to work, all im saying is that there has to be a reason for the quad core

Yea, one big reason - MARKETING and ADVERTISING, nothing else
One magic number '4' and sales are growing up very

On this stage, quad core A9 < dual core A15

The new HTC one X looks very impressive indeed although a glaring omission is no micro sd card facility i sincerely hope the Galaxy S3 doesn't make the same mistake

Elvispen · Apr 6, 2012

I'm hoping for different versions of the phone, 16 32 and 64GB (128GB) versions of the S3 due to an faster internal memory than a slower sd card.

Yup the One X looks sexy enough to be a worthy upgrade from the SGS2, but the lack of a micro SD slot and no interchangeable battery, just makes waiting for the SGS3 that much easier. Damn you Samsung for making us wait this long.

The HOX is lovely but serious battery issues at the moment, we are all waiting for an OTA update! Screen is better than then SGS2, camera is excellent and Sense is far better than TouchWiz.

Patiently waiting for the SGS3 as well to see what that brings to the table.

jj03 · Apr 7, 2012

disagree with the camera statement. the hox camera is quite average with the exception being thats its quite good in low light...but thats it...waiting for the gs3 anyhow. can't be bothered with htc...their phones always look fckin hideous.

peachpuff · Apr 7, 2012

The shutter speed on the one x looks great, not sure about photo quality but video quality is on par with the galaxy nexus... ie. trash.

This should come as no suprise to anyone. HTC phones always have crap battery life, worse than Samsung even.

cyberboob · Apr 8, 2012

Agree with BJ van Beethoven. - I have 3 HTC phones and battery drains on them like crazy. But as far as the OP goes, too many bogus pics there... think will confuse people.

CamoGeko · Apr 8, 2012

Yeah, remember how they burdened the Desire HD with a tiny 1250mAh battery...

Still through various kernel tweaks I managed to get over 3 days life out of it on a regular basis. Running CM7.

Samsung Galaxy I9300, which might be the S3 but its dominating the GLBenchmark at second place beating iPad 2 but losing to the iPad 3 (Obviously).

It uses the old Mali 400MP GPU.

It's not.

I don't know... I was a bit excited but after looking through various other articles on this 'leak', I saw someone else make a good point.

Look at an old GSII image:

Kind of suspicious. Sure, they rearranged the "Fast. Vivid. Slim" tagline, and one of the "I"s in the new "S III" looks wonky.

Not to mention that tagline that really can't just be attributed to bad translation, it's that awful: "What's your Smart life?".

I like what we see of this "Flight of the Navigator"-like phone, but I'm writing this off as suspicious.

Which is the reason why I included 'might be' in the sentence, no-one knows for sure.

Lololol. I get the point. Just kiddin. But that 9300 looks funny in a way. With the design, 720p on 4inch and that screen looks like a LCD type to me from the pic

I hope they also come with a hardware camera button too.

sohebq · Apr 10, 2012

Guys, any real guess for the battery capacity so far? ICS is already battery hungry on Galaxy s2, so I am highly interested to see how much battery capacity will be on S3.

Virtual buttons + one hardware button? Waste of space... No sense... SGS3 will be very very long :/
