Posted December 10, 2013 Well looks like 2k display on device will come at a pretty high cost. The first 2k handset, vivo xplay 3s will cost $740. THis cost is only for the 32Gb, the 64 GB will cost $820 It has Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, 3 GB of RAM, TD-LTE connectivity, a high-end rear camera with f/1.8 aperture and should be available in five colour versions (white, pink, yellow, champagne gold and blue). Chinese phone maker Vivo is preparing for a launch of the world's first 2K WQHD smartphone. Dubbed the Vivo Xplay 3S, the handset features some impressive specifications, but unfortunately it will also come with a hefty price tag of CNY4,498, which is about $740. And that is only for 32 GB variant, the 64 GB will cost $820 according to the listing from China Mobile. source: http://www.nextpowerup.com/news/5825/the-worlds-first-2k-handset-vivo-xplay-3s-to-cost-usd-740.html # -_- [Planned RIg AKA Project ARES] -_-# | AMD FX-8350 4.0GHz 8-Core | Be Quiet DARK ROCK 2 57.9 CFM Fluid Dynamic Bearing | Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z |G.Skill Ripjaws X 8GB | Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM |Samsung 840 Series 250GB 2.5" SSD | Sapphire Radeon HD 7970 3GB |Fractal Design Define R4 w/Window (Black Pearl) ATX Mid Tower|Gelid Solutions Silent 14 PWM 74.5 CFM 140mm x3 |Corsair RM Series 750 Watt ATX/EPS 80PLUS Gold-Certified Power Supply| |Rosewill RNX-N250PCe | Windows 8 | Acer H236HLbid 23.0" |Corsair Vengeance K70 | Corsair Vengeance M65 Wired Laser | STEELSERIES QCK Black|Sennheiser HD 558| Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 10, 2013 1080P is the sweet spot for mobile phones tbh I personally think this is ridiculous for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted December 10, 2013 That's a seriously thin phone. I like. I like the color scheme of Noctua fans. Deal with it. Forget about the bad memories of the past.

Posted December 10, 2013 That's a lot but it's also off contract. Phones such as the s4 already cost $700 so really that price isn't too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 10, 2013 You probably mean 2.5K. 2K = Full HD. Personally i think that is too much for a phone. Most laptops still have 1366x768 or something stupid like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted December 10, 2013 Im not sure why this even needs to be a thing... My HTC one is 1080p... If you can show me a person who can point out a single pixel on the screen I'll show you a liar.

Most laptops still have 1366x768 or something stupid like that. whats up with laptops still using 1366 x 768 its about time they make an affordable minimum of 1080p for all laptops.

Posted December 10, 2013 Technically I posted this first, but there wasn't as much information on the phone as there is now. I'll let this one slide @Youbetternot. Anyways, back on topic, $740 is considerably cheaper than I thought it would be. Maybe this will be my next phone...if I can get it with a contract. >.> COMIC SANS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 10, 2013 There's an thing called advancement While that is true there is a point where there is really no need. I would argue that 2k on something that small is not a needed advancement. What I find interesting in this whole thing is that they can make a screen like that without shooting the price up by all that too much yet high-res monitors are still so expensive.

Posted December 10, 2013 Is TD-LTE is basically a china version of LTE? Personally think I wouldn't really notice a difference in the phone's display if it is higher than 1080p. But it looks cheap and plain looking.. Hello and Welcome to LTT Forum! If you are a new member, please read the rules located in "Forum News and Info".

Posted December 10, 2013 Even though that's really cool that we can have high resolution displays on phones for cheap, but what about battery life? If I leave my DNA lit up 24/7, the battery will die within a hour. We need better and bigger batteries before high resolution screens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 10, 2013 2K means it's 2000 pixels wide (roughly) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2K_resolution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted December 10, 2013 Might want to do the maths, 3840*2160 (4k), if you divide that by 1920x1080 you get 4. So therefore 1080p is 1k, if you divided 3840*2160 by 1280x720 (what you refer to as 1k), 3840*2160 would be 9k, which is not true. Your logic doesn't work for 8K, since it's 16 times FullHD (7680x4320). K stands for 1000 : 2K is 2000pixels wide, 4K is 4000 pixels wide and 2.5k is 2500 pixels wide. Roughly of course.

Posted December 10, 2013 My HTC one is 1080p... If you can show me a person who can point out a single pixel on the screen I'll show you a liar.I can quite easily see an individual pixel on my Galaxy S 4 from 30cm away, and someone in another thread said he could see it on his HTC One using the same test (completely white image with a single black pixel on it). So this might not be completely crazy if the screen is like 5.5 inches or bigger. We have really reached the point where the law of diminishing return is hitting us hard though. I don't think we should stop improving screens, and I would like to have about 500 PPI on phones to ensure that I can't see any pixels even if I try, but we should probably let batteries evolve a bit more before we make displays even more power hungry. I am surprised that so many people (not taking a shot at you OP, talking about the journalists that write the articles) don't understand that 2K = 1080p. It makes no sense whatsoever to call 2560x1440 "2K". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
