The device will come with the opt for a side-mounted fingerprint scanner. The new sensor won’t double as the power button. Instead, the company has placed a separate key. Unfortunately, there’s no sign of a headphone jack on the Xperia 1, but there are a bottom firing speaker and a USB Type-C port on the bottom.
