A question to people complaining about the design: Do you buy your phone to look at it or to use it?
Look at the case gap for the Camera shutter button. Why is there a big gap? Could it be that the camera shutter can be slide up and down like those old cameras for zoom?

There's no way sony fans will accept this design. Remeber Xperia XZ2??
How much larger? If it's 1/1.95" or larger, I'll be happy. Whether or not the continuous zoom will stay I'm not sure, given that Xiaomi's continuous zoom lens is only 75-100mm due to the sensor size. Xiaomi was working on a 75-150mm zoom lens at one point, so maybe Sony actually pulled it off. It may take a while for all to be revealed, however, given the May release of the 1 VII. Hopefully it will be revealed within the next 8 weeks or so.
