The $400 is fake. Softpedia said it was a mid range device, and so should cost around $400
Other sites just copied them.

Why the ****, they brought micro USB on the top again? I thought post 1020 this standard will be the thing of past.
Beyond that, it's entirely speculation, but my personal speculation is a camera with the same or modestly lower resolution (20mp or less), but with a larger sensor. A larger sensor (like that found in the 1020) could explain the dedicated housing, and also the "missing" LED, since a larger sensor (along with the OIS pioneered in the 920) allows for better low-light performance and thus less need for artificial illumination.
Exactly! Most vehicles have a phone holder now, when charging there it makes sense to have the port on top.Not sure why they ever did that. Makes a lot more sense while charging in the car to have it on top, otherwise you have to lay your phone upside down. I'm guessing there were complaints.
This device is shaping up to potentially be very impressive as far as mid-rangers go. Seems like we'll either all be very happy/impressed on Sept 4 or quite disappointed... no in between. If the only non-high-end spec we see is 720p, I can live with it.

How many flagship devices you've seen that have MicroUSB on top?
Now a days car holders have the gap at the bottom from where the wire can pass and then recent car holders have Wireless charging inbuilt. But with microUSB on top, you can't use it as dock. How many flagship devices you've seen that have MicroUSB on top?

Even I don't understand the logic behind something that is almost universal now a days. I am sure it had nothing to do with 'some' user complaints as they will get far more now. particularly in cars, people seriously wont think of getting new holders to charge their pohones in the cars. Most holders today have a gap at the bottom and are clear on the top. But the primary issue will be the wire coming from the top. I always prefer it at the bottom as it does not come into my sight very easilyI have a 2-year old Acura and it doesn't have a gap for the wire. If you meant that phone holders do, most people don't use phone holders anyway. I charge my phone in my car without one, personally.
As for docking, I suppose that would be an issue in the car, but at home, that's what Qi is for.
At the end of the day it's a convenience thing. I prefer the USB charger to be on top but either way everyone can easily get their phone charged no matter if it's on the top or bottom.
