Looks good... I much prefer the parallel-to-screen build than the "rounded corners" design of the S3.
If that design is correct, however, we're definitely looking at 16:9 rather than 16:10 (...I just loaded it into paint and checked pixel counts for vertical and horizontal in order to check). Which would be a shame - I much prefer the 16:10 format for screens rather than 16:9.
For what it's worth, the breakdown of a 5.3" 16:10 vs a 5.5" 16:9 screen is:
5.3" 16:10: 2.81" x 4.49" (12.62 sq in)
5.5" 16:9: 2.70" x 4.79" (12.93 sq in)
So the total screen area does still increase slightly (by 2.4%) in comparison to the Note 1 (though not as much as the 7.7% implied by a raw 5.3" => 5.5" transition at 16:10).
It will be interesting to see what the screen resolution is. Part of me is hoping for a very high-res SAMOLED (pentile) screen, rather than a 1280x720 SAMOLED+ (non-pentile) screen. But I guess we'll see.
I certainly like the idea of the UBP screen, leaving more room for battery. 3000mAh anyone?!
