Sony’s new Xperia Z5 Premium stole the show at IFA 2015. It’s the first smartphone in the world to feature a whopping 4k display with nearly 8 Million pixels. However, there are some things that should be noted.
According to PhoneArena, in order to lengthen battery life, the Sony Xperia Z5 will only render media in 4k resolution. Otherwise, when scrolling through your homescreen, apps and web pages you’ll be looking at 1080p. This is because Sony’s UI is yet to be upscaled to 4k quality.
Until manufacturers figure out how to sustain battery life with the addition of pixels, many might follow Sony’s lead by only rendering media in 4k.Sony stated users can still set 4k wallpapers in their full native resolution if you so choose. Everyone is still in debate whether the human eye can see the difference in quality. Sony’s stance on this might be appreciated by many but spec heads will see it as a downfall.
Sony made the following statement depicting the 4k rendering:
Xperia Z5 Premium features a 4K display with a resolution of 3840×2160 pixels based on SID Standard and enables all video and image content to be enjoyed in 4K resolution. All other content is displayed at 1080P or lower resolution in order to optimise the performance and battery stamina for this device, ensuring you can enjoy the 4K resolution when you need it most.
On the spec sheet, the display remains a 2160 x 3840 pixel screen and battery life is clocked at two days. It looks like those wanting a full-fledged 4k smartphone will have to wait a little bit longer. We can’t wait to get our hands on the new Xperia line and test them out for ourselves.
So, what side are you on? Extra battery life, or full 4k screen?Via: PhoneArena
