Like a sign of the inevitable, Sharp has announced the world's first 5.5-inch IGZO display with 4K or 2160 x 3840 pixel resolution. This results in another world's first 806ppi pixel density. Considering that the technology for 8K or 4360 x 7680 resolution displays have already been worked on and announced it just seems like a matter of time before we should expect 5.5-inch 8K displays as well. No news yet how much power the new 4K display screen requires or if there are any new devices which will carry this new Sharp display but it is only a matter of time before the first 4K display smartphone arrives, perhaps even with the Samsung Galaxy Note 5? No Malaysia release dates or pricing details but we expect the first 4K display smartphone to be priced very premiumly.
