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.

    Indeed, what's the next step? 7+1 channel sound?

    I second the idea of the normal res smartphone. My dream device has swappable battery, couple of sd slots (1 normal size sd) gnu linux userland w/sandbox for android envs, hardware keyboard, tilt screen for tabletop op, SDR (no independent radio chip with own secret sauce OS and access to the whole memory). Can be 1cm thick, no prob. If they don't build it no prob. One of the next gen raspberry/odroid with a smartphone battery pack, touchscreen add on and 4/5G modem is converging towards that, plus I'd probably get ethernet and video out.
