It's said to feature Ion-X glass, the same material that adorns the display of the Apple Watch Sport.

          Finally Steve Jobs comes back to life. The original iPhone look, glass back and front like the iPhone 4. This is epic. Not this Samsung look that seems to be a fail in my book. Can't wait for the original flat edges and round volume buttons to be brought back again. Really impressed

            That is a good looking update, and the glass is there for wireless charging, finally!

              Okay... sell a phone that costs $150 for $200, that's Android margins there. No, SE pricing is fair IMO and the glass back could be a sign of wireless charging. Only time will tell.

                    4" screens are just too small.

                    Apple needs to make 3 sizes: 4.5", 5", and 5.5".

                    The 4.5" could be the value edition priced at $200. Sales would go through the roof.

                                    Anonymous, 11 May 2017I'm a little amazed Apple is repeating the mistake of havin... moreAgreed. Getting the iPhone SE instead of this successor. How can anyone here call it an Honor 8 or Samsung ripoff? Apple did this glass back thing since 2010. So many idiots here don't know phone history.

                                    After iPhone 4, my next glass-reared phone is the S7 edge and Pixel (only half glass rear). I hate it on the S7e. The Pixel is white and silver, so it doesn't seem so bad. The iPhone 5/5s/SE is the best design ever from Apple. I hated when LG put glass on the G6. Time and time again, it seems 2017 isn't an upgrade year and you should ransack the ones from last year.

                                    If Apple goes glass rear with the iPhone 8 with OLED, then iPhone 6s and SE would be the only iPhones I am interested in although I can't stand iOS. The last two iPhones with headphone jack AND metal rear. I think Apple wants to uniform the new SE with the 8. Huawei is one of the few companies left offering metal bodies.

Since Xperia's are also well known for their optimization compared to Lagsung, don't you even dare to judge the hardware specs of the Xperia X compact.
