If you think the ultra-sharp Quad HD displays on today's state-of-the-art smartphones are as good as it gets, think again. According to Qualcomm, who builds many of today's key technologies in mobile, 4K smartphones are just around the corner, and they'll take pixel counts to an — arguably absurd — new level.
Qualcomm’s latest SoC for Windows laptops is now official, and it’s called the Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 Compute Platform.
An unlikely competitor has entered the field.
Microsoft, Google, and Qualcomm are unpleased with Nvidia buying Arm. Qualcomm is the most resolute to see the acquisition blocked.
Are we looking at a 1000ppi now?
Really? what is the point in 4k on a small display like this?
Whats the point? I would rather have better battery life than 4k resolution on a small screen.
It'd be better if these companies worked on functionality before adding extra useless crap to the phones. What happened to phones lasting days, not hours? What happened to strong builds, and clean buttons/touchscreens etc... It's all on the backburner and instead you get a phone that lasts 6 months, can't last a day without charge, but hey it's 4k, that's awesome right? You can watch most of a movie in "4k" that's worth 600 bucks!
I'd be impressed if the GPU allows 4K output only. Otherwise it's a waste of processing power.
