    top right is the light sensor, if you have auto brightness enabled that sensor adjusts it as necessary.

    the top left sensors are the proximity sensors to turn off the screen when you take a call and put the phone to your face.

    at least i think that's what they are...

    Sounds like a good educated guess.
