At times, the races of different companies to sign up for both technological innovation have led us to witness beautiful nonsense. The LG G3 was the first smartphone / phablet to mount a display 2K and the result in some areas was somewhat counterproductive. Now, Richard Yu, CEO of Huawei, points out that his firm is already ready to go up to Quad HD resolution without penalizing other plots.
A few weeks ago we published an analysis of the MediaPad M2 10 in which we commented on the reluctance Huawei to use 2K resolution screens, both on smartphones and tablets. In smaller formats, the decision is noticeably more problematic since a 5-inch phone usually has a smaller piece of battery and less space for distribute heat generated. In addition, it is drawer that the power unit will always cost more to move a particularly high pixel density.
In short, a couple of years ago, buying a smartphone with a QHD screen, especially if it was not Super AMOLED, implied less autonomy, performance and a greater possibility of advanced deterioration in the terminal.
Huawei believes the time is ripe for 2K displays
As we say, Richard Yu has confirmed that they will start using higher resolutions on their mobile devices, starting this year. The leading executive of the third manufacturer in the world took with some irony at the time the bet of some compatriots such as Xiaomi o Meizu When it comes to using 2K screens and, in fact, in the case of the first, we have seen a hint of rectification with the Mi5, after the experience of the My Notes Pro.
According to Yu, Huawei has found the perfect formula for this type of technology and encourages the company's fans to be very aware of the improvements that the company will introduce in this regard, to see how good its screens are compared to those of the competition.
Do we really appreciate the difference between a Quad HD and a Full HD display?
The Nexus 6P, a "rare" precedent for the company
Precisely, Huawei's first 2K resolution terminal saw the light last year, however, it was forged under very specific circumstances. To begin with, it is a commission from Google, company that makes most of the decisions in the product. In addition, its screen is AMOLED type and we know that this configuration causes the battery to suffer to a much lesser extent, which is why Samsung was able to upload with efficiency to 2K format already last year.
