Galaxy Note 5 could arrive 2015 w/ UHD double-edge display

It’s already been a ritual for Samsung to release a Galaxy Note every year ever since the success of its first iteration. Having said that, it’s safe to say that a Note 5 is to be expected to release this year, but it seems like there’s more to be offered by the South Korean company this time.

According to a leak the next-gen Note could have a UHD display with a whopping 4K resolution and 748ppi. Not only that, it could also sport a dual-edge form factor just like the current Galaxy S6 Edge.

The tip also suggests that production of the Note 5 will be in August, which is just in time for a September announcement at IFA 2015. With 4K resolution TVs getting cheaper these days and with the direction that Samsung is by far taking, it’s not that far-fetched to see such a device for this year.

Meanwhile, stay tuned as we keep an ear to the ground for any developments regarding this matter.

1080p resolution on smartphone display is more than enough, and might be the sweet spot for the most people. Why would you buy a smartphone with 4k display kung di naman masyado nagagamit. Mostly ang movies ngayon ay 1080p lang, at yung mobile internet is not that fast to support 4k video streaming. Why are smartphone manufactures keep focusing and keep improving areas not demanded by the customers? Bat di nalang sila magfocus sa pagimprove ng battery, at cameras(referring to lowlight capabilities and faster autofocusing, *optical zoom*maybe?) ? Iyan ang kadalasan problem at kulang sa mga smartphones ngayon eh. Weird naman ng mga companies na yan.

What’s the point? Unless I can project the screen of my phone on a giant wall, its useless. Lower the resolution, and work on the battery. Offer me a 1080p phone that can last 3 days and I’d pick that in a heartbeat. Hell, I’d pick that even if it were 720p.

There have been studies that the human eyes cannot anymore discern individual pixels beyond 250ppi that is 12 inches away. In fact, others say that the “sweet spot” can be as low as 220ppi at 12 inches. As I see it, the pixel density war between phone manufactures is actually just a marketing tool designed to lure the uneducated into paying for stuff they don’t really need. Unless you text with your phone an inch away from your eyeballs, I suggest going for something with a HD display, say for a phone with screen size of 5-5.5 inches(still overkill). Btw, the higher the screen resolution, the higher the battery consumption since video card and processor are working more to compensate for the additional pixels.

No thanks Sammy. My professor in broadcasting told me that UHD resolutions will NEVER be COMPATIBLE with smaller screens. Plus, the battery will die down so quickly, unless you have a way on improving how the screen sips out juice. Such gimmick, though I can certainly buy one, but since it is a gimmick, no.

oh no Sammy! I am never a fan of those edges.. it looks weird. And a whopping 4k res in a small screen?! Whoa! What are they thinking?!! What we need is battery life!!!!!! i’m happy with my Note 4, though a nice battery life is always welcome…

Sa tingin ko sobra na ang UHD sa resolution.Yung FHD maganda na nga yun eh.Pero,baka isa lang ito sa mga *pasabog* nila. malay natin tumaas na capacity ng battery. GG4 both back and front panel. 32,64,128 Internal. and expandable pa di tulad sa S6. ddr4 4GB ram. so sa mga nag react agad about sa UHD reso ng note5. relax muna . wag kalimutan ang AMOLED na matipid sa battery. yun lang po. #NOTE4
