Full HD, Quad HD and even 2K displays are awesome yet common specs in smartphones nowadays. But what do you think about something with even better resolution? What do you think about a 4K display on a Chinese smartphone in the near future? Well, rumors had it said, ZTE is working on a new flagship, the ZTE Star 3, that is expected to pack amazing 4K display.

ZTE Star 3 and the 1st 4K display dream

ZTE seems to be company with crazy (and great) ideas, as its upcoming Star 3 smartphone could be the world’s first smartphone with such a display, reports GizmoChina. According to the report, the Star 3 will have a 5.5-inch 2,160 x 3,840 pixel resolution display, giving the display a pixel density of 808 PPI.

While the idea of a 4K display seems appealing to many users, others argued that, as the smartphone’s screen size is not as big compared to a TV’s one. Therefore, it may not make any huge differences between the 2K and 4K display. Will it be a waste of money to invest into upgrading a phone’s screen that is already good with older tech? However, supporters believed that it is always a good thing to have more innovations, as they bring customers more choice and brand new experience. Moreover, we would never really know how it feels unless we really try it 🙂

ZTE Star 3 and competitors in bringing 4K display to smartphones

Sharp recently revealed a 5.5”, 3840 x 2160 display panel. And there are also rumors that Samsung’s next Galaxy Note smartphone could have a slightly larger screen with the same display resolution. Tough competition, tough competition we can tell.

Whether ZTE is the first company to release a 4K phone or not depends on their production speed and other competitors. But the news about ZTE Star 3 itself is amazing enough to be looking for. Hopefully we can witness another new leap of the smartphone industry. We just love that there are more and more fabulous idea coming into a once-simple product.
