Sony Xperia XZ1 rear panels show extra large hole for the flash

15 August 2017
Or is it just for the flash? Perhaps there will be additional hardware for focus, color spectrum or something else.

Xenon Flash is much, much better than LED flashes especially for night photography.. Nokia N8 still rocks with its Xenon Flash..

      XBR, 15 Aug 2017They better not cripple the compact version.. Sony is the only manufacturer to have top notch specs in a small phone.
      I highly doubt it will have underpowered hardware

            It could be just another led but bigger deal would be a full metal back and sides with no antenna lines. A true loop surface.

              Fingerprint on the side? Did they pay Apple because of Apple's sh*tty patent? (more likely)
              Or more unlikely a fingerprint on the screen?

                  The last flagship compact was only $500 in US.

                  I'm pretty sure the Xz1 won't be above $800 as no previous flagship has been priced above that( I'm talking about 5.2" regular flagship Xperias).

                          There is a weird black vertical line above the flash light hole.
                          But For what??

                              Nice to see that volume buttons are different than xz. Also the camera button is still here. Design is like xz, that's fine for me.
                              Let's wait and see.

                                And it's not that only Apple and Samsung have the right to price their flagship phones at any cost.

                                        Why is Sony always selling their phones overpriced? Why not € 650 like a normal flagship which is not iPhone or Samsung?
