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.

With Sony's track record, the phone will have 3,500mAH battery.

But really, 5K? That sounds nice but there is NO content in that resolution. Even if you're future-proofing, there aren't many 4K phones and 8K is the actual future so this is unnecessary.

    I hope come out with 5.2" screen :-)) LOL

      what would be the use of a 4k 21:9 display? do we have such content?
      well the xperia 1 with QHD 21:9 was quite fine since black bars would go from a 4k content, but this?

          What a joke. The battery will thank you, not lol. All above FHD(+) 60Hz is a waste.

                They should just make a smartphone with a 8K display, maybe they'll sell more.

                  Stop calling it a 5k display. 5040x2160 is the 21:9 version of 4k.

                    It's shady info. Sunahoinfo even stated it in his article.

                      I predict this post will have more than 200 comments.

                        No one can match sleeping giant Sony's tech. Sony's biggest rival is itself with its arrogance. Sony could destroy Samsung, LG, BOE, etc. easily if it changes its corporate's strategy.

                          Totally stupid and unneccesary waste of money on such a technology in a mobile phone today.
