Finger Print Scanner In US

[Element115]

Here's the big question! 

WILL THE SONY XPERIA XZ FEATURE A FINGERPRINT SCANNER IN THE UNITED STATES, OR NOT?

If not, I likely won't be purchasing this device.

My second qustion:

If it doesn't come with a fingerprint scanner, will it be disabled via software, or hardware?

Thanks

You can flash with UK or CE firmware. Google it or just buy the international version. It is hardware enabled but software disabled. My experience with flashing it worked flawlessly but in exchange my signal reception got weaker though so I resorted back to US firmware and my signal went full bar again. Hope Sony will worked with HP about this patent thingy and just enable it for US version. We already pay for a premium on this device and we don't get at least a decent headphones in the box and the scanner is disabled come on Sony

I did that on the z5 

  Took about a year to get all the app's to use the fingerprint scanner.

I am not going throught that again. 

As must as I want the slow motion I must  to pass untill Sony stops disabling featuer for  the US  Market
