The shaped-in power button also functions as a screen lock button and it integrates a fingerprint sensor.

The rear camera bump is a perfect imperfection in the otherwise symmetric contours. There are 2 other buttons on the same side as the power button. To finish up, this is as suave a smartphone as it could be and Sony has pulled off not only a masterpiece in engineering but in aesthetics too.
