What's then the button above it? If it's the camera shutter button, it would be a really bad design choice bc then that would mean you'd have to press it with your left hand, but pressing it with the left hand will likely result in the camera(s) being covered.

But having a separate power button is fine and if the renders are accurate then they'll have found a workaround to please fans of the old set up. Trouble is finding room on the side for a hardware camera shutter key.......

Have you heard the Z5 premium, all the way to XZ1? All of those models have fingerprint sensor which doubles as a power button.

                      1st, the fingerprint sensor apparently doesn't double as a power button (wtf)
                      2nd, there is no camera button on the L3, nor the XA3
                      3rd, everybody got used to the design of the XZ3, and they praise it, now they are going back? Doesn't make sense
                      4th, and the biggest giveaway, the screen on the and XA3. It's super tall, a 21:9 aspect ratio at least. But on the L3, it looks fine. Plus, on the L3 there are curved corners on the screen, but not on the XA3, weird, ain't it? My theory is this: It's possible that the L3 is a fan created render, the camera is supposed to be on the center of the X axis. But there are so much differences between the design of the L3 and XA3, different screens, curved corners, different camera placement, it doesn't make sense. Plus, I know there's no camera button on the L2, but there isone on the XA2, but now they remove it on the XA3? Nope, I refuse to believe it until it's official.

Samsung and LG are the two major companies that didn't do that mistake at all. Unfortunately, LG phones don't sell as well as Samsung for other reasons, which is unfortunate.
