One of the most recent frontiers in 4K ultra HD display/recording technology landscape has been the smartphone. Now, while some people might view the idea of either a camera with 4K video recording or a display screen with 4K resolution in a phone as ridiculous symbols of technological overkill, we disagree.
The same could have easily been said for Full HD display and video capture in the smartphones of last year and if you were to go further back and tell someone from, say, 1996 about all the processing, storage, video, photo and internet access technologies any modern smartphone has, they’d practically balk at the sheer power crammed into those 7 by 3 or 4 inches of electronic gadget in your pocket.
As far as any true fan of technology should be concerned, if a consumer-friendly new technology is possible and if someone might want to have it in their hands, there should be no need to criticize it as “too much”. This is a very subjective bit of thinking and proves itself to be consistently limiting as new developments arrive on the scene.
With that said, here is our overview of the 4K smartphone landscape as it stands right now, with a description of the technology in its different variations, what it entails for users and what its near future might hold for the consumer. Following this overview, we’re going to take a brief look at several major 4K smartphones which come with the ability to capture video footage in the resolution or, in one case only so far, actually come with a 4K ultra HD display built right into them.
Let’s get started.
