It depends how much heavier and thicker it's going to be. 5 inch device with HTC M8's dimensions is just too big. I think Z3 Compact is a good compromise - slightly thicker but still acceptable, good battery and thin bezels. Z5 Compact is rumored to have 4,8" display, I hope they won't make it bigger instead of reducing bezels even further (over 70% screen to body ratio is a must for me).

PS. Thickness has almost nothing to do with the camera.

Finally .... a new design that I have been waiting for years.

I prefer they change their design language every 1 year. Just like what they did with the Arc, S, T and Z, it would be much better for the consumers to see the differences.

Option 2. for a change. it would be awesome if they at least make the next high end devices with about g4 bezel to display ratio (72.46 %) which a thicker body should allow them but of course also with a new unique premium construction and design like only they know.

That is not true. A larger sensor will always require a larger lens, not just circumference wise, also height and distance away from the sensor. If a substantially better camera is implemented, it will usually require a larger sensor and lens, hence a thicker set up is needed.

Z3 if fairly thin and has one of the biggest sensors on the mobile market. And it doesn't change the fact that it takes mediocre pictures.

@penguino, it's related to both sensor size and type of lens, some lenses has 4 - 6 elements, while more complicated it's also larger... and going to a more complicated designs also ( like OIS ) will require larger lens assembly also.

having a large sensor with very thin design will require a wide angle lens and other lens also to fix the distortion of wide angle lens.. which adds more lens also

Sony did impressive engineering with Z series to have such sensor on thin device, and going thinner and thinner is more challenging..
If you remember before the camera was behind the screen, now Sony moved it out duo to the fact that the screen takes thickness too, moving the camera outside the back of the screen will allow having larger sensor on the same thickness, or same sensor with thinner profile...

or go back to arch design, top and bottom can be thicker and middle part of the body can be ultra thin. That way they can put in bigger lense and stack stuffs at the bottom. This can probably shrink down the top and bottom bezels. Xperia V still has the classiest design of all the xperia IMO, just need to refresh.

I have to say, the Xperia V is definitely a looker! They just need to refresh the design and replaced those plastic with metal and glass.

I think so too. The XV was one of my favourite ever phones, I think most people on here preferred it to the XT. It just seemed to tick all the boxes and gave way to the Z1 compact.

Regarding thickness, I really don't mind extra thickness. A lot of people use cases and and extra mm added to the thickness probably gives us useful extra battery life (although you know what some reviewers are like, they'd call any Xperia over 8 mm chunky take away a star!)

If Sony is going all out at the premium end then I'd expect to see more metal in their future designs. Their high end smartphones are just beautiful.
