I vote for resistors, but that off-center dot is oddly conspicuous. They don't seem to be arranged in any obvious patterns, but the board appears to have filled (laser drilled?) vias, so they can do that -- no need for vias set off to the side of pads, they can just place them wherever.
The tan parts are definitely high-K ceramic capacitors, bypass or what have you; also appears to be some ferrite beads (black), though they could also be resistors by a different manufacturer.
The chip is a:
Qualcomm 28 nm Mass Market LTE/DC-HSPA+ Chipsets for Mobile Broadband Products (Press Release Feb. 14, 2011)
Which I guess should be unsurprising.
Good luck finding a datasheet; I'm sure you have to join seven different $10k+/yr organizations, plus signing their mile-long NDAs, before you get to see the product brief, let alone the full spec sheet.
I notice Qualcomm's website is fantastically vapid, literally devoid of content; all I can see is marketing splooge. I guess this should be unsurprising for businesses with such a market model.
