This serves a few purposes as it allows the Z1 Compact's 20.7MP camera to be loaded (and even have the photo shot right away) in one touch, as well as allowing photos to be taken underwater as the screen doesn't have to be pressed.
It also allows the camera app to function more like a fully fledged camera, with focussing and snapping being really easy.
The top and bottom edges contain only the waterproofed 3.5mm headphone jack and external speaker, respectively.
As with every smartphone, the back of the phone contains the camera sensor and LED flash. Elsewhere, only the Sony and NFC branding break up the solid glass rear.
