How will the new iPhone 5 shape up compared to the iPhone 4S? Find out in this cool new concept video, which puts the two phones side-by-side and spins them every which way.

We've seen the inside and outside of the new iPhone as photos of components leak in dribs and drabs. But now they've been assembled in a video placing 3D models of the two phones side-by-side.

The good folks at 3D-desk.com, who create three-dimensional animated models for your perusal, drew on industry rumours, strategic logic -- and "a bit of wild guessing" -- to flesh out their hypothetical iPhone.

The video shows the difference in scale between the current model and the hotly anticipated new iPhone, including the new smaller dock connector and headphone jack moved to the bottom. Hit play below to see the two phones spinning in space without a care in the world:

Leaked photos reveal the new iPhone to be taller than the current model when you hold it normally, or wider when you turn it sideways to landscape orientation.

The screen will apparently measure 4 inches across and boast a resolution of 640x1,136 pixels with a 16:9 aspect ratio, meaning no more black bars when you watch movies and TV and allowing your video to make the most of the screen. The extra space on the screen is also enough for an extra row of icons on the home screen.

There's no guarantee this is what the new iPhone will look like, of course. In fact, the animated animators behind this video also speculate Apple could keep the screen the same, rather than forcing app developers to change the layout of apps.

If you're wondering what the new iPhone would look like if the screen stayed the same size and it just got thinner, check out this video:

What do you think of the look of the new iPhone? Are the expected changes smart thinking by Apple, or does the iPhone have other problems that haven't been addressed here? Tell me your thoughts in the comments or on our Facebook page.

Samsung Galaxy S3 Jelly Bean update caught on video

A video showing what looks like a Samsung Galaxy S3 running the upcoming Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update has popped up online, offering a tempting glimpse at what S3 owners have to look forward to.

The Spanish-language video appears to come via Mexican Android blog androidmx.net. While my Spanish leaves a huge amount to be desired, the video appears to show a near-final version of Jelly Bean that's been mashed into TouchWiz, Samsung's custom Android skin.

Have a peek at the video below for yourself -- at 2:20 you can see the Android version detailed in the Settings menu, while at 3:24 you can get a look at the revamped notification bar.

Personally, I think the most interesting new Jelly Bean feature is Google Now, which uses the potency of Google's data-mangling algorithms to deliver relevant information to you, based on things like your location or search history. You can get a glimpse at this feature running on the Galaxy S3 at the 5:36 mark.

Although this may not be the final software that arrives on Galaxy S3 phones, it's heartening to see the update appears to run smoothly, taking full advantage of the S3's quad-core processor.

Galaxy S3 owners may not have long to wait before getting a glimpse at Jelly Bean -- recent rumours tip the much-anticipated update to arrive on 29 August, the same day Samsung's expected to lift the lid on a Galaxy Note sequel.

Samsung needs to make sure the Jelly Bean update arrives soon, or its flagship S3 could soon look behind the curve, at least in software terms.

Do you own an S3? Are you gasping for a fistful of Jelly Bean goodness? Tell me in the comments or on our Facebook wall.

Prepare your brain for all the phone news it can handle -- from Jelly Bean to James Bond we're rounding up the week's mobile happenings, so click play on the video above to edify yourself.

All the week's major tech stories are covered, starting with hot-off-the-press reports that the Galaxy S3 is going to get an update to Android 4.1 this very month if you can believe it.

The update is reportedly in the final stages of testing, and will debut on 29 August, the same day that Samsung's set to unveil the Galaxy Note 2. Samsung made a total hash of updating the Galaxy S2 to Ice Cream Sandwich, so Galaxy owners will be hoping that the South Korean company can pull its socks up this time around.

Meanwhile what could be the iPhone 5's teeny tiny dock connector has been photographed, along with a bunch of internal components for Apple's new gadget, which is rumoured to have a 4-inch display and a taller frame. Imagine an Olympic baton that plays Kingdom Rush and you've got the basic idea.

There's been more information revealed regarding new Sony Xperia phones -- the Xperia TX and Xperia T are both reckoned to have 720p displays and 13-megapixel cameras, while the latter is pegged to make an appear in upcoming suit-a-thon James Bond flick Skyfall.

Finally we've reviewed a phone so bad it made my colleague Natasha say "there's no logical reason to inflict this phone on anyone." Which smart phone disaster should you steer well clear of? Find out at the end of the video.
