from the 8-megapixels-should-be-enough-for-anyone dept.

You can cross another resolution off the smartphone display list:

The third device from the Z5 series is the Xperia Z5 Premium, which includes the 5.5" 4k [3840×2160] screen, a 3,430 mAh battery, and the ability to expand its 32 GB of default internal storage by up to 200 GB through microSD cards. The 4k Triluminos IPS display promises to have a high color gamut, higher contrast and higher sharpness, as well. In the few moments I've spent with it at IFA, the screen did indeed look crystal clear.

[...] Xperia Z5 will launch globally in October this year, while the Xperia Z5 Premium should arrive a month later, in November. Both single-SIM and dual-SIM variants will exist for both models.

Some lucky Sony executive is shoving the Xperia Z5 Premium in his Google Cardboard. Next stop, the world's first 5K (5120×2880) smartphone.

    storing more than 380 hours of lossless music is sooooo critical.

    It's gotta be lossless, otherwise you can't really enjoy it above your car or gym's 80dB noise floor.

      Sure. After all, there's already so much noise at those places, it is super important that you don't add even more noise. ;-)

        Filter error: Your brain's auditory centers don't

        But Seriously: It doesn't bother me to listen to Holst's "The Planets" during an artillery barrage.

        What bothers me is to listen to lossy encodings of "The Planets" during an artillery barrage.

        To do and notice:

        Sit quietly in a crowded public place; a public park on Labor Day would work well, or a sporting event.

        Fix your eyes on a single, distant spot, such as that sporting event's scoreboard.

        Now focus your attention on individual, specific people all around you without moving your head in any way. Most people can do that; that's one reason I carry around an audio recorder all the time I am often able to tape people saying the most Damnfool crazy things.

        That you can focus your attention on individual people in crowded public spaces is why lossy Planets bother me during artillery barrages, whereas a CD, FLAC or ALE of The Planets does not.

        And yes, Vinyl really is far, far better that Compact Disc provided one uses a fresh needle and the record has not been played too many times. You are far better off to purchase Vinyl then run it through a professional audio digitizer to make FLAC or what have you than even to purchase CDs.

        Have A Nice Day.
