Or even if they are not spying to guess your code, it is actually hard not to tell the password to a relative if they need your phone. It may be a non-issue (for me it is not a problem: my device lock code is not used anywhere else and I trust those who would ask to look at my phone), but you might want to keep this code secret for other reasons, or you might not want to lend your phone at all. With a fingerprint lock, they won't try to argue and get the code, and they will only ask you to unlock it if they really have a good reason.

Reverse “smudgineering.” My son Keian was able to use the smudge pattern on my phone to figure out my password when he was four years old.

... Since Sailfish X doesn't have double-tap-to-unlock, it means that I have to use the power button to unlock anyway...

- Even here from a recording the password is guessed after about 10 attempts if users are not well educated about choosing a secure Password. Example here.
- Given time you can try reasonable combinations by hand
- Traces on screen give hints about the correct position.
It would be improved by a huge amount if you had to do 3 or 4 of such pictures.
Best would be if one could combine different unlock methods. E.g. do a picture-unlock and then (without feedback if you where correct) enter a Pin (number positions randomized).
This would combine the strengths of individual methods.

A headphone jack on the side would suck. I probably wouldn't use it unless I have to
Regarding bottom bezel in the newsletter picture, it looks mighty thin. Hope it's like that in real life and compact as possible
If true, will make it less useful as a music player in the pocket ... unless you use bluetooth. But these could still be early prototypes.
Still exciting that it getting closer to release or official announcement.

I can assure you that the headphone jack is at the top of the phone
Similar to the E7
Edit: How do I know this?
I've actually seen the real deal

The double tap to unlock was a nice feature that I miss sometimes, but in fact I liked it more when I didn't use a lock code, or when I forced myself into using one but had not tried the fingerprint scanner yet.
I use double tap and then touching power button (not pressing) to open my Xperia X with fingerprint reader.

Plastic? Seriously?
No company uses plastic anymore for their high end phones.
It has no premium feeling.
This phone is not made from metal. The case will be made from Magnesium alloy (!)
Now that's quality right over there.
