Anyone got a credible insight as to whether these images give anything away about if the 830 supports Qi or not? Is the big black bit NFC?

The source of the leak claims that there is indeed Qi on the back. On the bad news side, it seems further leaks are confirming the SD400 chip set and not 800.
Rest assured, if you're on ATT in the US, that Qi will get ripped out beforehand.

What are the real-world implications of 400 vs 800? Inferior GPU so I gather, but I'm not really a gamer. Do you think it's likely to make a noticeable difference in day-to-day use of the core OS and basic apps?
Sort of surprising that they've not followed the pattern of 820/920 having essentially the same hardware engine. So currently your only choice for high end hardware (non-phablet) lacks Glance and micro-SD support.
Hope the 830 does have Qi, good effort if so given how thin it is.
Consequencies of using the S400:
- Gaming, because GPU is crap [not an issue for you]
- Picture-processing-time, because SoC is really a slow one, shoot-to-shoot time will be average at best
- Multitasking capabilities will suffer
- open large Apps
- good chance that support for updates ends earlier because of insufficient SoC (like the 7.x line), at least earlier than e.g. 930/1520
- Most important (to me): We are talking about a SoC for Moto G/ 630 for a "mid-to-highend" phone not yet out. This SoC is allready slow, but in 2 years it will be just an awsome archaic kind of tech, no way i buy a phone allready oudated. Nobody knows what the future brings and reserves are always a good thing when you don't buy absolute entry level tech like 630/Moto G
Coming from 820, I will be very interested if it can provide longer battery life. Also this is a quad core processor compared to a dual core used in 820.

No way it is going to be superior to that wall hugger lumia 820 even in terns of cpu nd gpu.lumia 820 is a joke in wp family.most ugly looking wp.nd worst battery life wp.
Hopes are high again! Check this out:Aaaaand disregard, as Daniel Rubino says we don't have to worry about it being a S400

Hmm, if that's the case then this leaked pic showing an 8926 processor is fake, as that's SD400. Doesn't look fake to me.
