@hboy857: I agree with RacSony on this one. First two pics are from G34XX, third from G84XX and fourth from G83XX. The volume rocker on the G83XX isn't visible in the same position on the G84XX. The quality of the pics is far from good, but the volume rocker should be visible. At least that disqualifies the idea that the last two pics are from the same phone I think, as they don't share the same volume rocker layout.
@josephnero: What about the XZ1 Compact pic, also not the real deal?

Do not think Sony will be so stup*d to move the fingerprint sensor to the back... it is placed now in the most perfect place and even iPhone 8 will copy it.

I agree, I think the one on the back is simply for the model with a narrow side bezel. A shame about Apple having the patent for the side fingerprint sensor on the power button. Unless they play nice the Xperias will continue to be gimped in the USA

@josephnero: Cheers!
@pt020: I share your opinion. The downside could be the influence on the thinness of the phone. Could be, because I’m not sure if this is really holding them back and if it does, to what extent. For me this isn’t an issue, but for some it might actually be. The upsides could be no camera bump and bigger battery for example. In my eyes this is a rather fair compromise.
@vivftp: I thought a contract with Verizon (expires next year) keeps Sony from selling phones there with fingerprint sensors. Even if that contract expires, they still won't be able to sell those phones there, because of that Apple patent? Damn.

Is it confirmed now that the Compact will indeed have a 4.8" screen?

As someone wrote here that the bezelless design does not leave a place for the sensor on the side,
As I see on the images ... the bezel is as big as before.
p.s
I do not think Apple has any patent on it...

On my ZX the sensor is not even 4 mm wide,there is a place for 2 of them.
and there is no Sony with main camera in the middle... near the led you also have a laser for focus that here is missing.
To me it looks like an LG Photoshop.
If Apple had a patent they would have used it before... the patent has nothing to do with the sensor place but with other rights.
(my own opinion)

Well the whole Apple fingerprint thing was going around a couple months ago

How true it is, who knows. Either way, hopefully this matter gets settled soon so review sites have 1 less thing to complain about when reviewing Xperias

Hmm... maybe if SONY can't fix distortion issues and don't implement full manual control then I will just get XZ Premium as I don't think G8341 has any charm.
