    still one of my favorite phones and designs

      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.

        Had hoped for a wider 18:9, 1440p, 6.8"+ panel from SONY this year but oh well.

          TheSnowWinterR7, 03 Apr 2025Same side fingerprint doubled as power button solution. I t... moreThere are benefits to side mounted fingerprint readers.

          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.

            TheSnowWinterR7, 03 Apr 2025Now we have to surrendered to planned obsolescence instead ... moreNo. Unlike you, I know how to recognize sarcasm.

              DarlingYext, 02 Apr 2025Sony is keeping every feature that others have gave up on a... moreThis! 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.

                Anonymous, 02 Apr 2025A tad lazy with their design? Fanboy much? Everyone smashed... moreYou can blame XZ2/XZ3 "HTC U design Copycat" design controversy and choose fiasco in 2018 that make Sony had to reserved the modernized-Xperia Z design that already known for the longest time since 2019 with the introduction of OG Xperia 1. Besides, how much differences needed to change if Front-Firing Stereo Speakers are the USP of Xperia, the hallmark feature of HTC that even HTC abandoned in 2016?

                  yemko, 02 Apr 2025Always late to the party They never chases for being the earliest to the party when they already emphasize that Xperia is now side project of Sony since 2019. They now show Xperia as the technological showcases for other Sony divisions, so being late to the party is better than quit when they have something behind the scenes that they are prepared to show (example: Exmor T sensors)

                        Anonymous, 02 Apr 2025In-display fp sensor or same old side-mounted?Same side fingerprint doubled as power button solution. I think there are some disadvantages of under display fingerprint that Sony thinks doesn't worth the risk, although UDF has fare better than 6 years ago.

                          Elnynjo, 03 Apr 2025Why they don't wanna make camera in back frame more sq... moreWhile I do agree with this, probably they want to combine the best of square of Xperia Z series and rounded back of Xperia XZ series.

                            Anonymous, 03 Apr 2025Uh! just quit already sony. Pack it up. And then be surprised when people moved to Apple for good instead your preferred Android brands that this site users championed and enforce when the options depleted when they don't have the same preference as you. Acting like Stan Twitter wars.

                              A new Sony Xperia article, huh? Prepare for comment wars and slander like usual and the topics surrounding it, from design all way to the specs, always 👀

                              Glad that the Xperia 1 VII Render is now confirmed after many speculations and rumours.

Real winners pays a lot, get as few features as possible, and take pride in the predatory business practices that the manufacturers of the phones they buy use to trap them in their eco-system.

                                  Haters have got too much time to come here and comment nonsense. Now we are supposed to need their permission for preferring a headphone jack, expandable storage, and a hole-free display. News flash: We don't need your permission! Please enjoy your notches and "dynamic island" and leave us alone here.
