                if you have to do that on you android ,if you even have used an android , is because you set it up that way ..
                and for that extra camera shutter button on Sony phones, I see you never ever uses one , what you mean .
                !! Turning on the phone, Going into app drawer and starting camera app to shoot is a wonder of user friendly experience.!!
                you don't need to do that , by just pressing that extra button you get your camera on right away ready to shoot your picture .
                and Sony have one of the simple's UI design on android

                          Some people trolling metal....

                          So Xperia XZ Premium come with Gorilla Glass 5 + Nylon + metal = best designs, but who know someone will trolling all these 3 materials even it is the best designs.

                          The structure of XZ Premium:
                          - Front and back is Gorilla Glass 5, gorgeous and elegant, the front and back camera proximity sensor all also protected by Gorilla Glass 5.
                          - Side bezel is the nylon, better signal reception and lower SAR, it is better feel to hold compare to metal and it can reduce the drop Impact.
                          - Top and bottom bezel is solid metal, it is durable and sturdy and heat dissipating from the large graphite inside the phone and a stable room for the stereo speakers blowing, it also protects the display because of the practical bezel.

                                    Until they got so small, they were unpracticle, clumsy to use, and the industry finally gave up on those...
