Sony Xperia 1 VI to launch with 1080p display in wild last minute rumour

[Redaktion]

Sony is less than 24 hours away from presenting the Xperia 1 VI. In the meantime, several Japanese industry insiders appear to have been informed that the device will sport a 1080p display, unlike the 4K-wielding Xperia 1 V.

Rumours get crazy second before launch. I bet none of this comes true.

Pretty strong doubt given the products history, maybe for the 10mk6, but pretty doubtful for the flagship model. Even the lowest end display on flagships these days are like at least 1440p/1600p

So, in the end, they've used it

ppi should be no less than such that no pixelation of the text is visible at any possible viewing distance. For smartphones, which are often looked at closely, this is at least 400 ppi; for monitors, in general, a minimum of 220-230 ppi (30-35cm minimum), but closer to 280-300 is better. And especially for flickering AMOLEDs, where the color resolution in smartphones is almost always lower than stated in the declarations. In order to get the same resolution on AMOLED as on a standard IPS, you will have to increase the declared resolution by at least 1.5 times.

4k, of course, is already redundant for 6-7" and only increases the wasted consumption of a smartphone due to the constant need to calculate and render a 4k image at the controller and gpu level, unless the manufacturer is trying to use this ppi for VR through special glasses. Although in general It's more of a technological nonsense.

On the other hand, 4k is completely divided into fhd, which means that if the screen matrix controller was not made by morons, there is no problem on the fly with minimal consumption at the hardware level to draw a fhd picture on a 4k screen (4 4k pixels are equal to 1 fhd pixel), and this the number will not work with the ugly resolution of 2.5k, because... it doesn't exactly divide 4k and doesn't exactly divide 1920.

This is why laptops should only have 4k matrices, and monitors should only have 8k matrices, because... 8k is also completely divisible by 4k and fhd, i.e. provides perfectly clear pixels in 8k and 4k and fhd if necessary. Especially considering the incorrect black and white anti-aliasing in Chrome. Google deliberately spoils the eyesight of all Windows users, because... Only owners of screens with ppi from 220-230 do not notice the cloudy text, because shadows become almost visually invisible and the text is already sharp enough. But such monitor owners on the planet make up less than 1% of the population. For everyone else, evil Google deliberately spoils their eyesight, which has long been a proven fact - www.notebookchat.com/index.php?msg=581872

In smartphones in general, fhd is sufficient, because... the minimum condition of 220-230 ppi has long been met there with a huge margin in pixel density, but is not met to the shame of the entire IT industry in monitor and laptop screens.
