I'm sure he's talking about last year's cancelled/possibly fake G85xx, am I right, killmonger?

I don't know if it's fake. Seems like a legit leak.

We are expecting another S845 / FHD+ device. The H84xx.
Another device that may be H44xx, probably XA2+.
But there are 3 FCC ID. Would be Sony hiding a big surprise?
XZ2P announcement was too weird. Nobody knew, nobody was invited.
Last year they were too excited about XZ Premium, with XZ2P it was all so meh.
I thought they would present the dual cam.properly, like Motion Eye was a big topic last year's press.

Maybe it's because the XZ2 Premium/dual cam wasn't ready at announcement. Although that brings the question of why they didn't just wait and announce it at IFA when it was ready? There wasn't really any need for them to announce it when they did.

This is what I saw before MWC in the form of drawings and also plastic shape models so they had no buttons, no indications to where the FPS or cameras should go. I did this on PPT drawing to show you what I saw so do not take the details as gospel, its a very simple drawing and not to any sort of scale. The ambient flow would have been similar to the current XA2 or even the Xperia P in terms of shape, as the XZ2 has a curved top you couldn't put the cameras higher which means the FPS are also lower. It may not seem like a big deal but it makes a difference.
The Arc design I saw looked very pretty. The back had an arc shape and the ends were reminiscent of the Xperia Play which had the shoulder buttons like the L R buttons on the PS pad. Those larger areas could hold more stuff so imagine the camera sensors at the top in those larger areas. I take these as examples of designers looking to solve certain problems, the XZ2 demonstrates a design that allows them to fit in all the hardware but again, I feel that the Arc design would allow the same thing.
The ambient flow would look great after it gets refined but rather than simply refine, make some bold changes and look at old phones. I think everyone would agree that remakes of the Xperia P, Xperia Arc would be great and now in modern times, an Xperia Play because gaming is a big thing now. Imagine you playing PS4 linked games on your phone with the physical pad plus recording or uploading it live. Its a long shot but I stand by remaking the Xperia P and Arc because they would be beautiful with slim bezels.

What if the Laser /RGB and Flash were beside camera instead?
Wouldn't allow the camera /fps to be place maybe 1cm higher?

I still don't think so. XZ2's back curve looks different to XZ2c's. I think XZ2's curve is curvier than xz2c or u11. If you meant those sensors should be like in xz2c, then the xz2 would look weird, as the sensors would face sideways, not directly to the subject of the photo, when you're capturing a photo. XZ2c has flatter centre with subtle curves along the edges and corners, XZ2 is curved all around the back, no flat points at all.

Flat edge like on Xperia P is a no-go if you ask me. The vast majority of OEMs use rounded corners for a reason - they're far more ergonomic and comfortable to hold, not to mention don't create holes in your pockets. (also I would imagine space in the corners is sometimes wasted anyway).
Some people prefer the look of square corners, some (I would go as far as to assume most) prefer rounded corners. But then only a subset of those who prefer the look of sharp corners would be willing to trade the aesthetics for everyday comfort. So you're left with a small minority of people who would actually buy that. I get it stands out more from other brands, but if it means it's not comfortable to use it's just not worth it.
Arc like design could be cool, but I think unlikely to happen/difficult to pull off.
