Clock widget photoshopped by Sony?

Anyone knows why sony is fooling us with photoshopped clock widget on all its renders for xz premium like below? (click on gallery to see ghe pictures with this widget) :

https://www.sonymobile.com/pl/products/phones/xperia-xz-premium/

It is used across all Internet in promotional materials.

My xz premium does not have exactly same one as date for me is under first bigger hour number (in this case 10) and not under minutes as shown in the link. Anyone has the same? So are we all fooled with photoshop???

Do you have the same?

I hope I can return my device due to incompatibility of the goods with the contract, then I will have most of the money for new iPhone or lg V30 (F1.6, glass lens, ois, 6GB of Ram, P-Oled full vision screen)

This is just an example, I think there are more such incompatibilities and distortion issue is one of it as well.

the renders are showing a clock on the lockscreen while your screenshot (can't see it yet, but I assume it's the same as the one you've posted under an XperiaBlog article) shows a homescreen widget. my lockscreen clock looks just like the one on renders.

You are righr, then I wonder why it is different since the names of the widgets are same "zegar sony 2". You can see the name of the widget on the lock screen when you try to move it to the right or left.

So name of the widget is same but it is displayed differently? I wonder why I am first to notice it. Seems another bug (of displaying it) as I do not see a reason for making it different way.

perhaps because the design is similar enough while being different from the other Sony clock variant.

maybe the lockscreen version looks that way in order to use as little of vertical screen estate as possible (so that not to shrink the area occupied by lockscreen notifications). or maybe the homescreen widget's slightly modified layout was found to be more readable when the widget is slightly shrunk down - I just tried shrinking the widget a bit and I think the layout used in the lockscreen could look a bit cramped in smaller size, or the date font would be too small to be read comfortably.

Anyway this is not their photoshop fault this time no matter they had it many times in the past (some of them exists).

I prefer the one from the lock screen.
