looks gorgeous if real.
looks like the fingerprint scanner is remaining on the side despite rumors that it would move to under screen tech. is it me or do top and bottom bezels look smaller than those in-hand pics?
all in all looks beautiful. very curious about any improved camera tech with the dual LED or if that is the only addition. please sony, cover the camera lens with crystal or sapphire glass to prevent scratches to it!
i'm confused as to the reason for the bottom section on the back. it seems to be all the same material which negates the reason for having a separate antenna friendly area.
i like the color too. i would be proud to hold this phone! it's simple and sexy at the same time.
might i add that I love that no matter what, Sony continues to keep the camera shutter button!
also, i hope this is waterproof as i've gotten used to that feature and definitely don't want to go back to having to be too careful 
EDIT: strangely, there is no SONY branding anywhere?

Yup, just renders and not necessarily how the device will look in real life. So the small panel on the back could have a slightly different appearance for all we know.
Plus the render of the back doesn't seem to show the little doohicky above the 2 flashes that people thought was laser auto focus.
I was thinking the Note 7 looked pretty nifty in metallic blue, but this phone craps all over the Note. I like how they're going for the consistent colour all around on the Sony |

Sony looks like it's already going to have a decent end of year with PSVR, the likely launch of PS Neo and their new Z9 series TVs. Here's hoping the mobile sector can keep up and build some momentum too! |

oops. got overly excited and didn't realize it was just a render.
wonder why it still doesn't have the sony branding on it though?
i hope the final iteration keeps this color because it is beautiful. i'm thinking it will be the color to break me out from my all white phone streak.
didn't notice the missing "laser autofocus" so good catch on that. Let's hope it actually does have laser autofocus or something even better.
@musa - you said it!

Didn't the leaked images look a lot less shiny, more metal looking than this and I thought Sony were moving away from the glossy finish. Well spotted on the laser thing disappearing, that part is blue now but it was black in the leaks. Missing the Sony logo which they wouldn't do. Microphone hole missing from the left side of the front facing camera too. The back camera and LEDs look way too flat and almost like stickers (the inner parts of the camera should be sunken) so I'm saying this is not done by Sony.

going back to 5.2" display by the size of the dimensions, the colour looks great and i'm sure it'll look much better in the flesh. Hopefully there is a compact version too, either way not long left till we find out for sure.

@badassmam - just read earlier on xperiablog that the renders were apparently made by Onleaks himself and there were several liberties taken (such as the color). The renders are based on the information he was able to gather and is nothing official and definitely not by Sony. So, that explains a lot.
I will be sad if Sony does not offer this color though, or something very similar. I like it a lot!

Anything around 70% or above body to screen ratio is perfectly acceptable especially when you factor in the stereo speakers and side mounted fingerprint scanner. The Galaxy is S7 has a 72.1% screen to body ratio while the Z5 is 69.6% so anything in between is fine by me.
