New images leak of the Xperia Z5 and Z5 Compact

We’ve known for a while now that Sony is gearing up to refresh its Xperia Z lineup later this year and today brings the second batch of credible images with what the Chinese company may have in store for us.

Using the same strategy as last year, the manufacturer is believed to be launching a couple of devices — one flagship and one ‘Compact’ version. This time we’re looking at the Xperia Z5 and Xperia Z5 Compact.

As can be seen in the image below, both devices appear to feature an identical design; the only difference being that the latter is slightly smaller than the former, and its internals are expected to be significantly less powerful, too.

One thing that’s attracting a lot of attention on both these devices are their power buttons. They don’t follow the same spherical design Sony went with in earlier iterations of the Xperia Z series, which leads many to believe that they actually double as a fingerprint sensor, although there’s no way of knowing if that’s actually the case.

Unfortunately, as with all leaks and rumors, we have to take these images with a pinch of salt until Sony provides us with some evidence with regards to what it has up its sleeve for its next flagship smartphone, but thankfully we won’t have to wait too much longer to find out as IFA is just around the corner.
