Taipei, May 27 (CNA) Japan-based Sony Mobile said Wednesday
that it still has no plans to launch smartphones using an ultra-HD 2K screen in
the near future because it remains difficult to convince consumers of the
benefits of such an upgrade.
Jonathan Lin (林志遠), general manager of Sony Mobile's Taiwan
branch, said his company has held a lot of internal discussions about adding a
2K screen with a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels to a phone.
Such a technical progression from a full-HD screen with a
resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels will need to wait until Sony Mobile can make
significant improvements in display quality and digital image processing
technology, he said.
"At the moment, making the move to 2K technology on 5-
to 5.5-inch screens does not seem able to achieve market segmentation, so we
have no plans to launch 2K phones," Lin told the press at the Taiwan
launch of the Xperia Z3+ flagship phone, which sports the same-resolution
5.2-inch full-HD 1080p display as its predecessor.
Lin confirmed that Sony Mobile will use a 2K screen only on
its tablet lineup, such as the new 10.1-inch Xperia Z4 Tablet, which he said
has resulted in significantly better performance than the company's previous
models.
2K screens have been used by a number of other Android phone
makers, including Taiwan-based HTC Corp. (宏達電), South Korea's LG Electronics
Inc. and Samsung Electronics Co., and China's Xiaomi Inc., Oppo Electronics
Corp. and Vivo Electronics Corp.
While a 2K screen allows more details on the same size of
display, battery life of mobile devices remains a major concern for this
technology because it consumes more power than lower-resolution screens.
