One of the great things about phablets is that their larger screen allows for much higher resolutions. This is best seen in the 2560×1440 QHD display that last year’s Galaxy Note 4 shipped with, and its successor could be even better. According to reports, the smartphone’s successor could take things to the next level with a 4K resolution of 3840 x 2160. Other rumors suggest that the Galaxy Note 5 will come with a dual-edge display variant, similar to the Galaxy S6 Edge.
Last year’s Galaxy Note 4 (pictured above) shipped with a Quad HD display, which was packed with a display resolution of 2560 x 1440 which works out as four times the amount of pixels as a display with a resolution of 1280 x 720. This Quad HD display technology has made it into smaller devices, with the likes of the DROID Turbo and the newly announced HTC One M9+ features 5.2-inch displays packed with Quad HD resolutions. Now, there are rumors swirling that the Galaxy Note 5 could feature a large display packed with a 4K resolution of 3840 x 2160, as well as another variant with a dual-edge display similar to the Galaxy S6 Edge. PhoneArena has been passed a tip that suggests Samsung is ready to ship the Galaxy Note 5 in two versions, a regular version with a 5.89-inch display of 3840 x 2160 giving it a pixel density of 748ppi. If that figure wasn’t dizzying enough, the rumor goes on to say that the dual-edge version of the device will feature a slightly smaller 5.78-inch display giving it a ridiculous pixel density of 768ppi.
