S I R E, 03 Apr 2025There are benefits to side mounted fingerprint readers. ... moreI mean, I used Xperia with side fingerprint sensor since Xperia Z5 (and none with the back one from 2018) and I really love their sensors and it indeed, it's best feeling and functionality that I appreciated from having side-fingerprint sensor.

They have a more conservative and careful attitude towards product releases, in the same way as Sony or Apple. Once they do release a new camera or lens tho, it's bound to be some good stuff.

Anonymous, 03 Apr 2025Remove all bezels. Its time.I'll and most people like me will take the tame and elegant SONY bezels everytime over the punch-hole and Notch infested market.
I know it is technically more screen but that's not how it is perceived by at least people like me. Maybe to you it is more screen where it but to us it is no more than an interrution.
Plus the bezels allow for some golden Era smartphone features like notification LED and front facing stereo speakers.
Kinda helps with grip while playing games as well and prevents palm touch.

I'm looking forward to buying the Sony Xperia 1 VII (sale my 1 VI) as soon as it comes out in May or June and I hope for new colors. I support the only Japanese mobile brand in Europe and I hope it will continue for a long time. However, I bought the Technics EAH-AZ100 headphones.

S I R E, 03 Apr 2025There are benefits to side mounted fingerprint readers. ... moreTotally agree with you here. I always loved the scanners on the back and the power button, or even the TouchID on iPhones. Under-display ones are just not my thing, plus they come with the problems you mentioned. It's sad to see user reviews on new phones like the Galaxy and Pixel devices, where customers complain that the fingerprint sensor isn't working after they applied a screen protector. That's just dumb.

Capacitive fingerprint readers are more secure than optical and on par with ultrasonic ones while costing much kess than both.
It improves repairabilty where you often need to replace the entire display if an under display fingerprint reader goes bad.
You don't have to worry about screen protectors. Ultrasonic fingerprint readers do not work well with no compatible protectors which means you have to buy more expensive comoatible ones.
Capacitive fingerprint readers are more pwer efficient too.
To me personally, power button feels a natural thumb placement when pulling it out of pocket so I like that too.
I don't like optical fingerprint readers and no brands seems to be delivering on the promise of huge fingerprint reading areas on the display like it was showcased with concept phone by Vivo, Oppo and other where the entire bottom half could be an ultrasonic reader and improve security by user assigning up to two(2) fingers to a something like banking apps and all.
I personally like capacitive side mounted readers more unless they can offer the huge area like promised with ultrasonic initially marketted.

And I do see the pattern of this site or some people wanting Sony to be generalized all along in every aspect to fit to the preferences that is not even their target market, which they already saw the dire consequence with XZ2 and XZ3 7 years ago when they conformed to the normies and made Xperia sales dropped compared to XZP/XZ1 era and they pledged not to return that state again.
