Sony Xperia 1R (J8220) UA profile points to a 5K display, 5,040 x 2,160px

17 July 2019
The 4K screen on the Xperia 1 already has a higher pixel density than the HTC Vive Pro VR headset. The 1R will push further.

But as i said on a 6 inch screen between 2k 4k or 5k nobody will spot the difference human eye is not eagle eye or something like that.

When taking photo or selfie it can using this high density pixel to "screenshot" the image.

      Human eye cant spot differences on a 6 inch screen between 2k and 4k having 5k makes no sense apart from fact phone will be a lot pricier and battery gets drained much faster.

I think 5K would have even smaller pixel size, I also guess it can get a screen shot for rear or front camera by using this extreme high pixel.

          5K screen will kill the battery in few minutes.
          Having a TV nonstop plugged in electricity makes sense but having a 5K phone where human eye cant see diferences on a 6 inch screen compared to full HD or 2K is like waste of money time and energy.
          Phone like this is just waste.

              Grats when Z5 premium a first phone with 4K screen comes to the wiorld it drained the battery on a 4K mode in like 40 minutes.
              So this 5K will last maybe one hour because of bigger battery and less powerhungry CPU.

                DantE O2, 20 Jul 2019lol you are talking about a movie that you cut it's black b... moreThere are many, many anamorphic ratios but they are all from marketing perspective called 21:9. Xperia 1 is not true 21:9 but it's a very close variation. Marketin naming for UltraWide resolutions has UW prefix. UW4K is 3840×1600 , UW5K is 5120×2160 which makes sense cause 4K always refers to width of any widescreen no matter the ratio.

                  Anonymous, 19 Jul 2019Cinema Wide 4K does not have 2160 ... That is the point. ... morelol you are talking about a movie that you cut it's black bars on your PC for no reason.
                  you never realized why black bars are a hard coded feature of the movie and not just some scaling factor?
                  and i am talking about a display standard and label. what you say has no relation to what i said.
                  but just try to cut an imax movie and report back here or report back you couldn't watch a 4k imax movie in 1:1 on a display tagged 4k by mistake! but it's just qhd 21:9
                  these are simple facts about a display device.

                    Walter C. Dornez, 19 Jul 2019In 2017, a Z2 did explode actually. One, and probably because it was overcharged. Compare that to all those Notes that were even idle and started smoking. Please.

They proved it can be done and, like in the Z5 Premium case, they are the first to do it. I would proceed the same. A world first in the tech industry is nothing to be ashamed of.

                                DantE O2, 19 Jul 2019there is no such thing as a "4k vertically cropped display"... moreCinema Wide 4K does not have 2160 ...
                                That is the point.
                                Why do you think a 21:9 video on 16:9 screen have black bars above and under the video?

                                There are many different 4K ratios.

                                  if you don't know anything you can start reading about it.
                                  any display that has vertical pixels less than 2160 is not a 4k display , that's how resolution naming is. there is no ifs and ors about it.
                                  experia 1 is a QHD with 21:9 aspect ratio, for ppl who don't know anything about resolution topics you can go search about QHD 21.5:9 monitors that have been on marker for some years now, there you can learn they have almost same resolution as xperia 1.
                                  in resolution topic a display is tagged by it's vertical pixels and we don't have such thing as vertically cropped(sounds like a bad joke lol) but we have instead horizontally extended which are called wide displays ,
                                  if you still have a hard time understanding the resolution topic , just think that it simply can not display a 4k imax movie in actual size and has to shrink it to be able to show it, simple as that.
                                  before talking about something at least open some webpages and learn something.
                                  now this one the new phone is exactly a 4k 21:9 display here.
