I also prefer side speaker... bcaz if put on the back... u put ur phone on table with screen on... you hear nothing, u put ur phone face down... u see nothing... LOL...
If the phone thicker than it's possible to have side body speaker such as Nokia 5800XM or side bottom such as fruity. But nowdays phone is getting thin and thinner.
i duno is it only me, but i feel that leaked concept is much slimmer and i thought placing speaker on the side will make phones slimmer? because according to logic, if u place speaker to the back, ur adding thickness
the concept creates an illusion of slim, notice the outer grey bezel thingy is making the phone screen stretch to the edge, and its white back cover is camouflaged by the white background, hence the illusion of slimmer is there

It's still a concept,those photoshoppers can make it as slimmer as they want, denying the logic behind manufacturing
For s2, initial version came out was I9100, without the G, now referred to as "non-g" version. This had Samsung's chip(cpu + gpu + other stuff) inside it. Had real good performance, and was the version at launch, hence many ppl picked it up, and developed for it.
Then samsung released a I9100G, a variant if you like. Came with a different chip (not produced by samsung) Some speculate it was due to shortage of the Samsumg chip mentioned above. Others say ot was to address "overheating issues" etc.

Implications: 1. Since most developers bought during the G version release (and since internationally this is sort of the primary version), more developement was going on for it. Hence more custom ROMs etc. 2. The G version has a different chip, which has been seen to have lower performance, especially in the GPU department. 3. Many ppl reported hangs and camera issues/sd card issues initially when g version was launched. Sort of like more problems. Most of our forumers will tell you it's better these days, or can be solved with custom stuff. Will it affect s3? Who knows. Time will tell. Unless they have shortage of chips, or unless the new chip proves to be unstable (which seems like bollocks, would have gone through alot of testing before being put into production phone), this shouldn't be the case. Then again, no one expected the variant for s2
S3 North American variant will use dual-core Qualcomm chip. From what I read, this is mainly because the Qualcomm chip supports LTE in North America, which works at 700MHz. Elsewhere, LTE works at other frequencies.

Rumours also say S3 made with ceramic, liquid metal, 7.0mm slim, non-Pentile display bla bla bla...
But now? a total dissapointment..
U never know, so let's the guessing game continue.
Ya, all rumours are incorrect, but I only trusted Ming-Chi Kuo because when in Q2 2011, he said iphone will not unveil in WWDC and it will only have incremental upgrade like 3G to 3GS. He is the one to bring this up, I was not trust him until the sh"t iphone 4ass came out.

Well yeah, but that's more of an LTE issue then the g vs non g thingie. That was just pretty mengada by Samsung. Not to say g version is bad, it's still a good S2 and all
