It's not even a month since the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 hit the market and we already have information about its successor. Well not exactly, but apparently Samsung is working on a 4-inch 5.9K screen that will soon begin mass production.
This Ultra HD Super AMOLED screen will have a pixel density higher than 700ppp and considering that they plan this mass production from next August, the numbers clearly point to the fact that the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 will have a 4K display.
The source comes from a Samsung factory, we cannot confirm its veracity, but in the Samsung roadmap they indicate that in 2015 they intend to manufacture screens AMOLED UHD with a resolution of 2160 x 3840 pixels.
Considering that the mass production of these screens will take place in August, it is very likely that the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 will have this panel
In addition, at an event that Samsung held in January, he also spoke about the future of his smartphones, which would integrate higher resolution UHD panels, with a new term "Diamond pixel”Or diamond pixel, a very elegant way of talking about a new arrangement of pixels, closer to PenTile than to the conventional RGB matrix.
According to the calculations of the guys at PhoneArena, a 5.9-inch panel with a resolution of 2160 x 3840 pixels it would have an approximate density of 746ppp. A brutality for a smartphone.
Taking into account this screen, it is most likely that, at a minimum, the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 has a processedrQualcomm Snapdragon 810, unless the American manufacturer presents a superior version.
I am not very clear if we will not have a 4K screen at the distance we use a device of this type, but Samsung's virtual reality headset with a smartphone with a 4K screen it can be milk.
The big problem will be the battery, because a screen of this type will consume its own. We will see how the guys at Samsung solve this problem. But I'm pretty sure the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 will have this type of screen since it is the next generational leap that touches. And both LG and Sharp are working on these types of screens.
Brave nonsense. Very few people are able to distinguish a FullHD screen from a 2K, so that 4K is necessary. And if it was still "harmless", okay, but it's that such resolution is an impressive game changer. Come on, it's an improvement that no one will appreciate, but that will require a lot of CPU and battery.
Anyway, thank goodness that there are still people with their heads in place, like Sony with its Z3, which "only" has a FullHD screen, but in return eats any other cell phone with potatoes in terms of battery. But hey, Samsung likes marketing better than actual features, so I guess something like that was to be expected.
