^^Are those phones inside of Incipio Feather cases? Or at least the black ones?

Looks like a case on the white one too. There's gaps at the corners on the front.

Yep you're right.

Yep you're right.

Maybe they're trying to hide a metal back

Maybe they're trying to hide a metal back

Kinda what I was theorizing. Hmm, even the outside of the phone is getting interesting. The very early leaks did call for a brushed aluminum shell. I kinda wrote that off after some of the later leak pics but not so sure now.

Looks good in black.

According to rumors there will be two versions that differ in memory, ram and camera resolution.

Is it possible that the two can also differ in SoC, screen resolution, and dare I say - chassis?


G3 Standard:
16GB internal memory
2GB ram
13-megapixel camera
Snapdragon 801 SoC
1920X1080 FHD
plastic chassis


G3 Prime:
32GB internal memory
3GB ram
16-megapixel camera
Snapdragon 805 SoC
2560x1440 QHD
metal chassis


Just a little something extra to throw onto the speculation burn pile, while we're at it.

I was in NYC visiting and stopped at the Verizon store. I must say the s5 screen is like liking through your window out to the world on a sunny day. Nice.

OK so LG has caught my attention again. This is becoming a real possibility.

Wonder if it will go on sale for Fathers day?

On sale as in launch, or on sale as in discounted? My guess is that it will launch right after the announcement, a la HTC One M8.

 

[Skipdawg]

Just as the HTC One M8 has gone on sale for Mothers day.

Another rumor floating around the g3 could come with a stylus, think so?

It'd be cool if it did but I doubt that would happen.

I'm gonna say it is for the antenna, but a stylus would be nice.

 

[CafeKampuchia]

It's more likely that we're looking at the Korean version which may have a TV antenna like the Korean Galaxy S line.

 

[DragonSlayer95]

That's what I'm thinking due to how thin the antenna or whatever that may be is.

 

[Steven58]

We. Are. Pitiful. Just LOOK at us! Obsessing over a bump in an unreleased smartphone! I think we need a life. Myself included.

Carry on.

 

[DragonSlayer95]

Via phandroid they are going with antenna rather than stylus for the international model

The international version is also poised to feature an extendable antenna for use in certain markets (but folks in the US need not apply if the*LG G2*is anything to go by).

I just had one in my hands not 15 minutes ago and I must say that the S5 screen is hands-down the best screen I've ever seen on a mobile device. The guys at Display Mate are 100% right on. It is presently $670 outright w/1 yr. warranty here.

That brushed metal look is easy to do with plastic. The S4 has it on the chrome surround. It had many people fooled into thinking it was actually brushed chrome.

Removable battery! But it's probably only for selected regions....

After having the HTC One M8 for a week or so, I do not want a metal phone. I absolutely hated the feel. Very cold and slick. I would also imagine it makes the phone much heavier. The M8 weighed a metric ton.

Yeah that's extremely easy to make plastic look like a metal texture.

After all take the blue Samsung GS3, hold it at an angle and it's got the exact same texture as the leaked g3 picture.

My money goes that it's just going to be another plastic back but with that metal looking texture.
