It can’t be just me thinking a power button like this, in its design/position/material compared to the rest of the phone just doesn’t work… IMO, this just looks ridiculous to put on a phone these days. The iPhone and now other phones prove that people want simple, streamlined design. No? I’m happy with the simplicity of the design of the Nexus 4. If it had a button like this it would practically ruin it. Just tacky. Get with the times Sony!

  I have a Z and while I used to think it did look weird I’ve grown to really like it mainly because of how easy and comfortable it is to press. A lot of phones power buttons seem to wear out pretty easy and this one is just like when I bought it still so far.
