According to some reports, Samsung is working on producing 4K screen display for its upcoming flagship phone that may come out at the IFA in fall 2015. It is predicted that Samsung Galaxy Note 5 is the first phone to feature this type of display.

During a workshop held in 2014, the company hinted that there is a smartphone with higher-resolution UHD display being produced. The company had actually used the term “diamond pixel,” which refers to a non-standard pixel matrix arrangement refering to the technology, to tell about the new standard of smartphone screen.

The next Galaxy Note 5 is learned to have 2 variants: a 5.78” dual-edge version and a 5.89 regular version with flat display. Having the huge resolution of 4K (3849×2160) packed in 5.78” and 5.89”displays will provide a density of 762 ppi and 748 ppi, respectively. Other smartphone manufacturers have tried to cram a density of 600 ppi into their phone screen but 700 ppi sounds totally insane.

Resolution of 4K or Ultra HD display is really a challenge for human eyes. Samsung is reportedly using the 4K screen on the Galaxy Note 5 replacing the current qHD Super AMOLED display on the Galaxy Note 4.

Rumors said Galaxy Note 5 spotted 4GB RAM, 18MP to 21MP rear camera, 5MP to 6MP front camera taking care of selfie purposes and video calls, 16GB to 128GB of internal storage supporting up to 128GB memory card. Samsung may use its own Exynos 7420 chipset instead of the top-end Snapdragon 810 processor.

The Galaxy Note is believed to launch at the 2015 IFA expo event in September at the retail price ranging from $800 and $890.
