Id say real, looks like a authentic photo with reflections on the poster
Shows 1.2ghz Dual core Processor, with the dates 10/11/2011 or 11/10/2011 american date
Super amoled which we guessed etc 4.7" screen it says

I agree with you. Lets wait for HK tonight and confirm all this

one thing that i find strange is
Why are the 3 dot connectors on the same side as the power button? if u have it docked on the side how would u turn it on?
Seems abit silly which could indicate fake but its hard to call something real when its unreleased

But "what if" that is not a connector?

any theorys on what else 3 dots could do? 3 dots is pretty common for dock connectors

what if they are on both sides?
like ,for fingers, not to "slide" from hand ?

That doesn't make any sense at all. (No offense, just being brutally honest.)
The dock pin connectors belong on the other side but otherwise this is pretty much spot on.

but check again samsung video

they are on the power button side

The official teaser video showed the pins on the same side as the power button. The only thing I see that makes me doubt it is the lack of curvature on the screen.

i like it and think thats what its going to look like. we will see today and i work at a cell phone store and the nexus is in my cellbrite for like two weeks already and we get promo posters and cards and t shirts all the time before phones come out so why not and its china we all know the chinnese got the inside info on everything

why don't you take a few shots and post here to see those posters

The curve is probably pretty subtle like on the Nexus S. Those blue lines in the teaser really exaggerated the curves

Guys, i come from Hong Kong.
I can't believe Google hold this event in here LOL

Yeah, but I saw the enhanced photos from the video, and the curve on the actual device appears much more distinct than the Nexus. We'll see though I suppose.

It's real.

Comparison.

It's actually japanese.

is that chrome around the phone
if so yuck
still want though

What concerns me is the bottom bezel. It looks like there's a lot of black after the on-screen buttons on the bottom. Seems like a lot of wasted real-estate. In the leaked videos, it's even more apparent: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Py9TfZGie48
I think the phone is too long... =T

The Samsung I9000 Galaxy S is one of the most powerful mobile phones on the market. To use this power to move even more comprehensive, it is with the Power Pack EBB-U10 perfectly matching battery extension. The Samsung I9000 Galaxy S is there simply implanted "and already it has enough power for up to an additional 8.5 hours of talk time or up to 500 hours standby. The testers are, moreover, agreed by the Bank: The Samsung I9000 Galaxy S is found in the top rankings ever before and need no other phone to hide. Example is the good test results with CHIP, and connect online kosten.de.
The google translation starts of fine... it gets all crazy at the end lol. Cool though, not exactly sure how it works...
My translation
The Samsung Galaxy S I9000 is one of the most powerful phones on the market. The Power-Pack EBB-U10 is a perfectly tuned Battery-Enhancement to use this power more comfortable on the go. The Galaxy S easily sits in the case and can use an additional 8,5 hours of voice or 500 hours standby. The testers are troughout impressed by the Galaxy S: it tops every highscore and doesnt have to hide behind other phones. Take the tests from CHIP, connect and online-kosten.de for example.

It works just like every iPhone Batterycase. A battery is built in the case. It connects to the phone via the USB port.
that sounds nice! hopefully it's going to be cheap and available soon
I wonder how much thicker this makes the phone.
The weight is 70 grams. Making the whole thing 188 grams heavy.
iPhone 4 is 137 grams total.
I like the concept and the fact it doubles as a case for the back and sides fo the Galaxy S. It looks very nice and extends the overall usage time of the device. So plus plus in my books.
Here's to hoping it doesn't cost TOO MUCH and that it doesn't hinder the 3.5 socket. I was waiting for an official battery to be released out there, then they announce something better.
This may actually make the phone feel sturdier and protect the back. It can also make a more explosive phone LOL
Galaxy S Power Pack Provides 8.5 Hours of Extra Talk Time
Not for me, but just trying to spread the word in case anyone desires/needs more juice and doesn't like carrying extra batteries.

EBB U10
i must say it's a pretty sweet design compared to the ugly Mugen solution
I want to buy it now!
Look closely at the case. There's a major hole on the top right corner of it. I wonder what's that for.
There's already a thread about this. Use that one.

to my knowledge in the top right corner of the korean version of SGS there is a antenna (tv or something). the battcase (and all other hardcases) has therefore at this place a hole for better reception. now if u look to the photo u see through this hole and u see another hole, that one is for the cam.
lets hope u unterstand what i mean...
OT:
anyways, i still don't understand why samsung placed its usb connection in the top left corner ... this is a real hardware design mistake - like the iphone 4 antenna design.

No, it's definetly not. This is a german ad. The german, e.g. international, version doesn't have the antenna.
I assume it's a keychain.

I agree but unlike the iPhone at least this one isn't service impacting...just an inconvenience
That's a massive hole for a keychain.
It's for the antenna, they're not going to make 2 different kinds just so some can have the hole.

USB/Charging jack UGH

This is in a horrible location.
That's all.
No other complaints. No dust under screen yet, no dead pixels, no death grip.
I've had phones with the jacks in every damn spot on the phone. I always hate them at first because the prior phone had it in a different place and I had gotten used to it. My last couple phones were G2 and MT4G and they had the same spot as the S4G, so I love the location. You'll probably adjust to it and start to like it.

i prefer it on the side rather than down. but the reason why it is on the side
well first of all you have a qHD 16:9 wide screen. what is it good for? WATCHING Videos/Movies and surfing the web
so because of this when the Sensation sits on the docking station, it is sideways so you can browse the net, watch a movie while it is syncing/charging, plus its more stable than a phone upright
I used to hate it when I first got it but now I love it more than any other location. It completely makes sense once you start gaming. When the USB port is located at the bottom, I always have to change my grip when in landscape view if I want to use it while charging.
I don't have a docking station so for me I can't prop the phone up to watch a movie. Some apps won't rotate the screen the other way.
lmfao, I hate looking for that jack when it's all dark and I cant use the phone as a flashlight.

This is the small things that shows, HTC do study and think before they design. Like moving the power button to the right (better for landscape mode). I'm used to on the left with my desire.
I'd prefer charging slot on the bottom. As a matter of fact, I'd prefer headphone jack on the bottom as well. I hate having 1 cable sticking out from the side and one from the top when in the the car. I would also kill for optical trackpad but that's another story.

I agree with you completely regarding the car issue... And a dedicated camera button and optical tracked are the only things that would make this hardware perfect imo.

Try a right angle usb cable. Makes it more bearable.
This location workd fine for me...so far!

"HTC One L" Design Concept based on HTC One Series // ver. 2

This is a redesign of the HTC One i that I did earlier. I know everyone hates the camera position lol, but I'd already started it so I just finished it off. The next one be be more mainstream

Cool, even though it copied the curve shape from the Sony Xperia GX. At first glance I was like, WTF is with the camera position. But now it makes sense to me, since the camera is located in the hollow space it wont be scratched when the phone lies on its back.
Interesting design. but Im not a fan of the front. I think the front of the HTC One X or HTC evo 4g LTE looks better.

Thanks I actually didn't copy anything, I literally just made it up as I went along, although I did use my One X for sizing reference.
I tried to create a "one piece" look with the curved glass on the front, it's easier to see in the vid.
My only regret with this design is curving the sides of the phone, It's not really in-keeping with the design of the One series, but it's just a concept after-all.
Two things: One, I get that you love the camera position but it will cost far more sales than it gains, looking at it from a real perspective. Secondly, you don't need a new thread for every design. =p
I think the front facing camera should be to the left of the top speaker grill, and also the phone seems a bit generic.. I think it should have a key design or feature that sets it apart from other design concepts that are crappy. (not saying its bad, but its not too amazing either.) You should have something like the One V whete bottom half of the phone is curved towards the holder, but instead of having that curve be just metal and that's it, make the buttons below the screen be on that curved part with glass over them so it looks a bit cooler. So its basically the phone you have now bent towards the viewer more at the bottom.

Bluetooth Keyboard Case For Samsung Galaxy S5

Remarks : I do 30-50 emails daily on S5.
It looks cool, though I worry about the magnet doing something to the phone over time. Probably unfounded though.
Otherwise, yeah, I've been waiting for some sort of S5 equivalent to this:
No one has comment... any one using it? Good keys for typing?
RodimusConvoy, where is your picture from? It has no S5 model yet?
It looks nice too

As far as I know, there are no versions of this for the S5, there's only versions for the S3 and S4.
I'm not sure who originally made it, as a bunch of copycats/clones have popped up. I originally saw it at Minisuit, but when I go to the website I see its no longer available. But if you put "sliding bluetooth keyboard" in parenthesis in Google, you'll get hits including where to buy it. For instance, NewEgg has it.
Though that doesn't help if you own the S5 . What you showed may be the only alternative for people who want a keyboard with the S5. And it doesn't look bad, just wondering about that magnet.
I've always been curious about this kind of case. I was looking at this one. http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/galaxy-s5-slide-out-bluetooth-qwerty-keyboard-black-p45647.htm
Sorry, I haven't used one myself...
EDIT:
On closer inspection, I don't think those pictures are the S5... S4 maybe?

Its an S4. The phone in that picture is identical to the one in the pic I posted. That site is pulling a fast one. If you look at the S5, those three "dots" are all to the RIGHT of that tiny bar at the top, plus its corners are squared compared to the rounded S4.
I saw the same thing at Alibaba. It looks like people are taking advantage of the fact people want a keyboard for their S5 by misrepresenting what they're selling.

Sorry I missed this the first time. Its an alternate unverse, evil Rodimus Prime. Its from a comic and toyline called Transformers: Shattered Glass only available during the 2008 BotCon (an annual convention for Transformers fans).

Yes, I'm very late with this response.
I didn't like it. I found the keyboard inconveniently small, and the corners of the case that clipped onto the phone broke within a few months of use. I'm still looking for a keyboard case for this phone that will give me an experience comparable to having a true QWERTY slider, and I'm really POed that there are no current options available for one.
Samsung is apparently making keyboard cases for the S6 and one of the Tabs that approximate the old Blackberry feel. Not what I'd prefer, but I wish they'd do one for the S5, so I could at least give it a try.

Pixel 3 Fingerprint Scanner misalignment

Hello guys,
I noticed a slight misalignment with my fingerprint scanner on the Pixel 3 White 128 GB. I'm not sure if this is a singular issue or if it affects all other Pixel 3 phones / only this charge. I'm not sure if I should return it / get a new one (bought it today).

Are you sure? I decided to take a magnifying lens. I also heard about this "issue" in a Youtube video about the Pixel 3. It's just a slight line, maybe less than a mm, but it's stil there - on a thousand dollar product.
Or maybe I am wrong. This is something difficult to notice. And only from a certain angle. Maybe you guys can try to reproduce it on your devices?
Maybe only the Clearly White 128 GB charge of the small Pixel 3 is affected. Who knows.
Looks a bit misaligned to me. Mine isn't off center like that, so they're not all that way. Question is if it works ok how OCD are you? Only other thought is if it's not sealed well enough it might allow moisture to get in, but that's the only possible risk I can see if it works well.
I have the same issue on my 128gb white one
same issue on my 64GB not pink @@

Its an optical illusion, as you are looking at shadows through glass. You can see in your second photo, if you remove the "depth" of the shadow layer, the fingerprint sensor sits right in the middle.
Look at the back of your pixel and hold it upside down. Look more normal? Now turn your pixel to the side..any difference?
You can also try looking at it in a semi-dark room. You wont see any shadows, it should look normal.
same issue on my white 64. at first i thought it was just the back glass etching. but it is slightly off center.
Just got my pixel 3 white 64gb and mine is off to the left. Can't un-see now... hopefully the iprating isn't compromised
Just got mine today and same thing, the google expert said nothing wrong. I sent pictures. Same thread on reddit, but i pushed the sensor and it does shift to cover the space, for everyone saying its an optical illusion.
Somewhat related to this, Got a Pixel 3 that had sealing adhesive coming out from top right of the phone. There was not a lot of goo coming out but definitely not acceptable for a $800 phone. It seems the tolerances on Pixel 3 to push them out to market are not great.
