UAProf shows Sony working on a 4K display for Xperia Z5+
Sony held back on screen resolution, staying on 1080p from the original Xperia Z to the Xperia Z3+ only going up to QHD with the Xperia Z4v. The company may be looking to jump to the front of the line with a 4K display.
A User Agent profile details the Sony E68XX group of phones. Those are expected to follow up the Xperia Z5 later on and bear the Xperia Z5+ name. The Z5+ is rumored to have a 5.5" screen (or bigger), but even then a 4K screen will make for an insane 801ppi pixel density.
Alleged User Agent profile for the Xperia Z5+
The profile also reveals the chipset – MSM8944, aka Snapdragon 810. Overheating concerns aside, we have certain doubts that Adreno 430 can drive a 4K display. To avoid confusion about labels 4K is 3,840 x 2,160px, the same as an UHD TV and over double the pixel count of a QHD display (4x a 1080p screen).
Sharp has already announced a 5.5" 4K LCD expected in 2016 though Sony could use a different supplier. ZTE may also be in the 4K race.
Bear in mind that User Agent profiles are not always to be trusted.

Do you know what 4K display means ? It means nothing more than an energy hungry screen ! You'll need a 6000 mAh battery to make such a thing work for a day or two, sorry friend I prefer sticking to Full HD or even 720P, as said by other users no one ...

As long as mobile phones' screens are not bigger than 5.7", the normal user won't notice any difference in the display's quality, by the way I bet anyone to be able to distinguish Full HD from 4K ! What we have actually is fairly enough, I mean ...
