Dawn of True HD 1080p Smartphones



The first 1080p smartphones are a reality and regardless whether you consider 400+ ppi pixel density as great or as an overkill, the next generation of Android flagships will most probably feature FullHD screens.






MK News is reporting that Samsung is already working on a Full HD display, which will use the company's trademark Super AMOLED technology while LG is using  Advanced High Performance In-Plane Switching or AH-IPS LCD.




This is the same technology that LG used in one of its panels last year for which they also won an award. Compared to standard IPS panels, AH-IPS panels have greater color accuracy, wider viewing angles and greater light transmission which leads to lower power consumption.
It's not clear how big the display will be either, though it should have a pixel density of at least 400 ppi  meaning 5" or bigger
 
Speaking of phones with 5-inch Full HD screens, the HTC J Butterfly is already official.

It packs  5.0-inch, Super LCD 3 with a resolution of 1920 x 1080, which gives it a pixel density of the astonishing 440 ppi. The display is quite big but at 143 x 71 x 9.1 mm, the J butterfly is only slightly bigger than the One X (134.4 x 69.9 x 8.9 mm) and at 140g weighs just 10g more.

Inside, the HTC J butterfly runs on a quad-core Qualcomm APQ8064 Snapdragon S4 processor clocked at 1.5GHz with 2GB of RAM. It has 16GB internal memory along with a microSD card slot.


On the back is an 8 megapixel camera with 1080p video recording and on the front is a 2 megapixel camera. The phone supports LTE and NFC and is dust and waterproof (IPX5). Strangely, for a phone with such specs, the battery is only 2,020mAh. Lastly, the J butterfly will ship with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean out of the box.




The Oppo Find 5 has a 5-inch screen of Full HD resolution with a narrow 3mm bezel. It runs on 1.5Ghz Qualcomm APQ8064 quad-core chipset with 2GB RAM. The aluminum unibody has a thickness of merely 6.9mm and the 12MP camera with a Sony backlit sensor allegedly doesn't bulge at all.
But that's not all, as there is also a nice and hefty 2500mAh battery inside to power the thing. Oh, and there's Android 4.1 Jelly Bean preinstalled.



Close window

The Xperia C650X Odin is rumored to feature a 5" screen with the impressive 1080p resolution, resulting in an mind-blowing density of 440 ppi, a quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro processor with four 1.5 GHz Krait cores, a 13 MP snapper on the back, 2GB of RAM and 32 gigs of internal storage.

All these beasts are set to launch sometime next year , but one thing thing is for sure that they'll give the smartphones of today a run for their money.

Stay tuned guys!
