Fingerprint scanners are all the rage now, with basically every manufacturer jumping on the craze and putting one on their flagship devices. The jury’s still out about whether they work or not to increase your device’s security, but it seems to be a selling point at the very least. So it should be no surprise that it looks like Sony will be implementing a fingerprint scanner on their upcoming flagship devices, the Sony Xperia Z5 and Z5 Compact. In the picture below, the Xperia Z5 and Z5 Compact were spotted sitting next to an iPhone presumably to demonstrate the similar technology:
We can really only see the Xperia Z5 from this angle, but the size difference is clear between the closest device and the device on the far end, the Z5 Compact. What’s noteworthy about the Xperia Z5 is that the fingerprint scanner appears to be integrated with the power button – gone is the circular power button of previous Xperias. As a result, the volume buttons have shifted much further down than usual. Obviously, since neither of these devices have been announced, we’ll have to take this news with a grain of salt, but it all appears to be within the realm of definite possibility.
