ZTE Star 3 Could Be the World’s First Smartphone with 4K display

Sharp recently announced that the company is coming up with a smartphone which has 4K display. However, the company said that it is going to be ready for mass production in 2016. A few days ago, ZTE is planning to launch the world’s first smartphone with a 4K display with the codename of ZTE Star 3 which probably going to happen soon enough.

According to the rumor, ZTE Star 3 will have 5.5-inch display with resolution of 2160 x 3840 pixels and 806ppi.The smartphone also will be using TFT Panel with a special crystal structure which is aimed to reduce the power consumption while making the display to be more vibrant. On top of that, the smartphone will have narrow bezels with a measurement of 0.55mm thick.

There are a few image leaked which is believed to be image of ZTE Star 3 showing a smartphone with a curved back, bezel-less display as well as a dual camera setup.

Although, it might be difficult to differentiate Full HD and Quad HD display on smartphone, therefore, it is more difficult to see a 4K display quality on a smartphone as the size of the image of the smartphone is relatively small. It is only when we zoom in the picture a few times then we could see whether the image will break at some point. Definitely, if it is a 4K display, the image will only break when we zoom in a few times more than when we zoom in the same image on Full HD or Quad HD display. Nevertheless, we are very excited to try it when it is launched.

Samsung Galaxy Note 5 may reportedly come with a 6" 4K AMOLED Display

The Samsung Galaxy Note family is tipped to have a new member featuring a 5.9-inch UHD Super AMOLED 700+ppi display. According to a tip received by PhoneArena, the South Korean giant plans to begin mass production of such a smartphone in August 2015, its timeframe matching the release of Samsung’s next Galaxy Note, the Galaxy Note 5.

In 2013 itself, Samsung had revealed that it was planning to launch smartphones with QHD (2560 x 1440 pixels resolution) AMOLED display and it did come out with a Galaxy Note 4 sporting the same display. The company had also announced that it was working on UHD 4K Super AMOLED displays for smarthpones to be launched in 2015.

The alleged new smartphone will have 5.9-inch UHD (2160 x 3840 pixels resolution) 4K Super AMOLED display with a pixel density of 746ppi. Since the next generation smartphones generally have bigger displays than the previous gen and the timing of its production matches with the annual release time of the next in the Galaxy Note series, it seems logical that this would be the Galaxy Note 5.

Very few details of the rumored Galaxy Note 5 are available at present except for the larger display. It may carry Snapdragon 810 or a more powerful SoC and a high resolution camera with Optical Image Stabilization. Recently, details about Samsung’s Project Zero for developing its new flagship the Galaxy S6 were leaked. According to rumors, Galaxy S6 will have the company’s own new Exynos 7420 chipset, a 64-bit octa-core chip having 4 cortex-A53 and 4 Cortex-A57 cores. The Galaxy Note 5 could have that configuration too.

As it does every year, Samsung could launch the new Galaxy Note 5 phablet at the IFA 2015 in September next year.
