There seems to be a dedicated fingerprint sensor in between the volume and power button. Other rumours suggest that the phones will sport USB-C port for charging, and under the hood, they could have a Snapdragon 660 processor paired with 6GB of RAM and 64GB of storage.

Meanwhile, a separate report claims that Sony may also be changing the name of the Xperia XZ4. Sumahoinfo claims that Sony may rename the Xperia XZ4 to Xperia 10Z.
