Leaked doc points to QHD screen on the LG G4 

04 February, 2015

There are two rumors about the LG G4 – one claims a 3K display, another claims a QHD one (what some might call 2.5K). A third piece of evidence swings the vote in favor of QHD, this comes from a leaked XML file extracted from a Lollipop ROM.

The file lists the LG F500 as "G4 (QHD)." It has three versions (S, K and L), which correspond to the three major carriers in South Korea. The LG G3 is F400 with the same three versions. To clear up initialism "QHD" stands for 1,440 x 2,560px while "3K" is 1,62 x 2,880px.



This entry is surrounded by the LG F490 (LG G3 Screen) and LG F510 (LG G Flex 2), both with FullHD resolution, which corresponds to the official specs.

A fourth, unknown device "LG F540" will have an HD screen (that's 720p). It's not clear what this is, it doesn’t correspond to LG G mini numbers, but the LG Aka has a model number of F520, which has a 5" 720p screen.

Anyway, this leaves the question of the 3K screen on the LG VS999, a Verizon phone according to the model name. This may be a bespoke version for the carrier, AT&T's version will have a QHD display (1,440 x 2,560px). Either way, we won't see them at the MWC, the G4 announcement is expected later this year.

1) 1080p is enough for 5 inch class screens. Any more resolution is just specification porn. It actually hurts the consumers by draining the battery. 2) A bigger battery that lasts 48 hrs instead of 24 hrs. Even adding one mm extra thickness to ...

considering the temp problems many g3 users had when it was summer and hot outside i wouldnt feel safe the g4 will be any better.. uber resolutions dont belong on small smartphones i dont see the point, it only makes the phone last shorter and gaming...
