Yes, you\u2019ll hardly make use of your 4K smartphone if you don\u2019t watch 4K content on it. YouTube already has a tiny selection of 4K videos and so do Netflix & Amazon, yet the 4K video standard is yet to become more dominant.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We have reached the last objection on 4K resolution that has been provided against why we should embrace 4K resolution in smartphones. It\u2019s been said that \u201cusers can\u2019t see the difference,\u201d but we\u2019ve answered that objection by saying that they can. It\u2019s been said that battery life is impacted as a result of 4K resolution, but we\u2019ve shown that a large part of battery impact hinges upon how well the manufacturer (be it LG, Samsung, Sony, or Motorola, for that matter) optimizes the phone\u2019s battery life. In other words, we can\u2019t just assume because it\u2019s 4K resolution that our batteries will tank; the factors are more complex than just this general assumption.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve even defeated the objection that current processors can\u2019t handle 4K resolution by lifting up the Snapdragon 810 which, while problematic, does support native 4K resolution viewing on smartphones such as the Xperia Z5 Premium. The Xperia Z5 Premium uses two heating pipes instead of one<\/a> to offset the hot processor, but the Premium\u2019s in-built cooling seems to be present, helping consumers attempt to make use of what has been nothing short of a \u201clemon\u201d processor for chipset maker Qualcomm.<\/p>\n

As for virtual reality and VR being the only reason why someone would endorse 4K resolution, it\u2019s clear that critics of 4K for solely this reason are looking through a vacuum. This response is as short-sighted as someone saying that smartphones are only for internet phone service when a number of benefits have come as a result of mass smartphone market penetration. Pointing to one benefit of 4K resolution, and saying, \u201cif you don\u2019t like this, don\u2019t endorse 4K\u201d is not only short-sighted, but it\u2019s a straw man argument that creates a straw man of the concept only to burn it down.<\/p>\n

Now, we\u2019re back to answer the fifth and final objection to 4K resolution. What is it? That there\u2019s little 4K content available.<\/p>\n

Does the lack of 4K content make 4K resolution useless?<\/h1>\n

There isn\u2019t as much 4K content in the world as 1080p or 720p content, and there\u2019s less 1080p content available than 720p content. Even in 2015, not everyone uses 1080p screens to view Netflix or Hulu, for example. So, does this make 1080p or Full HD displays useless?<\/p>\n

Not at all. I tried out something similar recently with my 1080p screen on the Galaxy S5 and the 1440p (Quad HD screen) on the Galaxy S6 Active. The results may be surprising.<\/p>\n

\"Full<\/a>
Galaxy S5 1080p screen on the left, Galaxy S6 Active 1440p screen right<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

While the differences are not so striking that it would make you upgrade your smartphone display, keep in mind here that the content of this old TV show is from the 1980s. 1080p and 1440p screens didn\u2019t really exist in the 1980s. And yet, even a higher-resolution screen improves the content-viewing experience \u2013 whether the content is optimized for the higher resolution or not.<\/p>\n

What explains the Quad HD resolution improving the 720p content? The key is found in what I call \u201cdigital remastering.\u201d The goal of 4K resolution and other higher-resolution displays is to make our home-viewing experience more like that of the professional cinema world. It\u2019s no different than improving our smartphone cameras with the goal of making the smartphone more \u201cprofessional photographer-friendly\u201d than before. Even with 1080p screens, there is still room for improvement (as you can see with the 1440p display picture above).<\/p>\n

Yes, this is just one example (and it\u2019s not a 4K resolution photo), but it shows the impact that 4K resolution could have on current content with lower resolutions. To be brief, we don\u2019t need lots of 4K resolution content to see an improvement on existing content and to enhance our movie and TV-viewing experience.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned for our conclusion on our 4K Resolution For The Future series.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
