Joselius, 05 Apr 2017No. You are wrong. We called it pixel per inch for a reason... moreindeed, my mistake.

    AnonD-307714, 05 Apr 2017PPI is higher only due to larger screen and thus more pixel... moreNo. You are wrong. We called it pixel per inch for a reason. Every inch of the pixel increased in pixel count including the VR circle you talking about. Its not added in one direction like tapping a paper to another paper to make a longer paper. Lol.

      Sony's CLEDIS technology is far better than any other technologies today. It's the only rival to OLEDs. It uses mLED technology which is non-backlight - yep, you've heard it right: "NON-BACKLIGHT ILLUMINATED."

      With that, anyone can make a free aspect ratio of their own, and there's no need to waste a lot of pixels because 100ppi is as sharp as 1,000ppi IPS/AMOLED panel since the pixels, like their name says, are microscopic in size - perfect for VR fans

        Zenodroid, 05 Apr 2017No phone are good enough for vr, with those small batteries.What? You're gonna spend 3+ hours on VR non stop? I bet you at least need to take a break after each movie which is more than enough to charge your android phone with quick charge.
        And QHD+ is just enough for VR. Unless they're Apple fan bois who counts every single pixel on every phones other than their own iDevices.

                                      Generations are based in device name time line, The Note does not count.
                                      Samsung Galaxy S = Gen1
                                      Samsung Galaxy S2 = Gen2
                                      Samsung Galaxy S3 = Gen3
                                      Samsung Galaxy S4 = Gen4
                                      Samsung Galaxy S5 = Gen5
                                      Samsung Galaxy S6 = Gen6 has VR
                                      Samsung Galaxy S7 = Gen7 has VR

                                        Anonymous, 05 Apr 2017No, this is the best screen, I said it clearly. However it'... moreGet your head on straight, it is not 4 Generations in a row. If it were, then Gear VR would have started on the S4. I think you meant to say, 4 Flagships in a row (counting the Note Series as a Flagship device, which it kind of isn't because the S range are flagship, Note is a premium device, otherwise, 3 devices in a row).

                                        Just saying, I agree, 4K is a must for Gear VR, I hate the image in mine on my S6 Edge.
