      Anonymous, 17 Dec 2015Yes they are. Only because there is no demands for 4k. Low ... morebut,while talking about the xperia z5...everyone must remains that 4k..most of them eagerly to use 4k..this can be applied for users..who knows about the resolution...

        4K is just enought but not at the best if you watching it on 150 inch screen like VR can serve us when when making a 5 inch screen into a 150 inch screen. Only peoples who with less knowledge will saying 4K is joke.

            JOJO, 19 Dec 2015do you have a 4K TV of over 80 inches? How many of us do ... moreHaha 80 inches is a very small screen. With VR it's like having 150 inches in front of you. And yes, even 4k is small resolution for VR, just barely enough.

            Now go back to your itty bitty 80 inch screen, VR gives you total immersion, not a partial one like TVs do...

              Yes! I have hoped they will remain at this QHD... But I would exchange this QHD to FullHD for a little more battery life and overall performance :) Maybe in a little bit smaller phone :D

                    How many of us do we have a 4K TV? What can you see at that TV? Few youtube videos? only games?
                    There is no content for a such TV. Maybe in 5-6 years from now on... :)

                    4K and even 2K is not visible for the human eye. "get real" :)
                    Yes, you can film with your phone 4K and you see the videos...where?
                    Nobody really needs that.

The other day I was using GearVR , the pixels were insufferably large . In fact I don't even expect 4k to solve the issue, it would only be the beginning. Oh well, at least I hope they'd fix their color matrix (from penile to rgb), that would fix some of the VR issues. But damn if 1440p is a low resolution...

Thumbs up brotherYeah i got sick of those comments saying 4K is useless and 2K is so great bla,bla,bla and so on when in reality 2K is the one which is useless(you have 4K recording on the phone not 2K)...at least you can put in use that 4K and when marshmallow arrive many apps will be supporting 4K as well... but main thing like YT videos are already up scaled to quality near 4K with similar technology Sony is using in their TV's so I don't understand what they mean by lacking of 4K content?it seams even reviewers started to troll LOL .

                                I would rather have 1080p 5000mah flagship device than QHD 3500mah flagship device.

                                    And thank goodness for that!, they shouldn't be making QHD phones to begin with but hey they need big selling features since innovation in the industry is so stagnant and achingly slow these days. I wonder if Bony will go 4K again with the Z6.

Even AA Samsung's biggest fans in their true display measurement test didn't rate the Samsung phones best in anything except the subjective more pleasing to the eye category. Accurate colours other android phones best the Samsung, display brightness at 100% the Z5 premium was top. I have seen several display comparisons head on and the z5 premium has better and much more realistic colours than the note 5. So what your saying is so subjective and based on opinion of certain sites which i haven't seen yet a direct comparison that shows the note 5 as superior.
