LG announces world’s first FullHD smartphone display - GSMArena

LG has created a new display for the ever evolving smartphone that involves packing in 1920 x 1080 pixels in just 5-inches of display space. This is the world’s first FullHD smartphone display and has a pixel density of an astonishing 440ppi.

Do you guys really think we need such displays on a "phone"?
I am sure that the battery of this phone won't last even half a day :|

same was told when HD displays for mobile were launched. if you can create something new and appealing, you'll find buyers even if your creation has no meaning.

Yes Full HD screens would be the norm in the high end market starting late this year/early next year. LG, HTC and Sony are rumored to be working on 5 inch 1080p screen devices. I am sure Samsung is too !

A phablet needs 5 inches and full HD IMO which is extremely good for browsing [Less scrolling :D]

I read some comment saying Apple ll make use of these Retina display, but I would say Apple are no way near in using 5 inch displays on their smartphones

^Lol 4inch is all we need for IP5 and a 720p resolution with 128GB inbuilt with 12MP sensor.

This is (commercial) technology in a nutshell, we keep improving things (for our luxury) even when we don't necessarily have to. Although this is not a bad thing, it's how we move forward.

What the hell is the use for this? Anything over 300ppi is overkill.

Although the high res of 1920 x 1080 on a 5" screen may not seem to give any effect, but I think it would be good while viewing the mobile display on a TV connected through an HDMI cable. (just like it's implied in the pic on article :p)

Mobile with LG full-hd 5'' inch display will be overpriced imo.
