Maybe someone more knowledgable can answer this. Would the addition of a curved sensor allow them to require fewer lense elements?
From a pure physics/common sense perspective, I'd say it would require more, to allow for proper focusing. Unless some genius can figure out and replicate how the natural eye's lens works.....
Sounds really complicated and would also increase the volume the sensor stack would take up.

A glass Arc design would be the sexiest phone EVAR. I would be foaming at the mouth to buy that thing.

Then it must be made of diamond to survive sharp drops

In my opinion, the Arc design is stupid. Basically they're making the top and bottom fatter to make up for the huge chunk out of the middle. It's not efficient design at all.
It looks interesting, and it might sit in the hand well but there are other ways of doing that. As said above, a glass Arc phone would be fragile, so it would more likely be plastic if Sony ever made another one, and therefore it would probably feel quite cheap, just like the Arcs that have gone before.
I personally think it's unlikely, and also hope Sony don't do it.

I'm inclined to agree. The arc design has already been used twice. They should be able to come up with something new and equally ergonomic, but with better space efficiency.

Fellows, milukugiuniu said in earlier page: "The designing of Xperia will change a bit for the 2nd half with the edge getting round." i don't know about you, but i trust him. it doesn't sound like an arc design, but more like z2 design with find 7 like top and bottom curves or like ben ling's z3 concept design which also looks pretty nice:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2725781 some people i read complain about the edges being too sharp so i guess sony is listening.
@razec
wb.

Agreed.
a find 7/oneplus like top and bottom curves with omnibalance with shorter bezel could be a nice change.

Hello,
What i would like to see from Sony this year (hope someone can confirm):
- a WP phone... decent one , mid-ranger is enough
- a ipad mini competitor - something like LG G Pad 8.3, but with S800 and a decent camera and IP58
For a cameraphone I wich sony takes the optics from their T range cybershots (Carl Zeiss ones, but probably they cannot due to licencing restrictions - remember CZ lenses in mobile devices are licensed to Nokia/MS). This periscope optics can fit into a smartphone body nicely at one of each ends.. it provides true optical zoom, OIS and superior resolution. I am actually quite surprised Sony hasnt used this idea so far. Bump on a top or bottom edge is not an issue and remember satio? My god that was a picture quality there... unmatached so far if you ask me... xenon flash, superior sensor, i never minded the 12mm bump. It was a nice one to hold. now with the periscope optics from T range cybershots you can easily built it into something like 10-11mm and make the rest of the body 7-8mm...
That is what i would love to have..
