LG confirms G3 will have a Quad HD display with 2560x1440 pixels resolution

While everyone is still waiting for the first real wave of 2K display-clad phones to hit the market, we have seen reports emerging that hint at Samsung, LG and other manufacturers looking to bring ultra high-resolution displays to the market.

EvLeaks had revealed that the upcoming LG G3 will get a quad HD display. And now according to Engadget , LG has confirmed that its next flagship G3 will feature a quad HD display with 2560 x 1440 pixels of resolution.

If previous rumours are to be believed then the G3 could get a 5.5-inch display, which means the pixel density would go all the way up to 534ppi. This would be way higher than the Galaxy S5’s 432 ppi. However, despite the lack of the 2k display, the Galaxy S5 has received accolades for the display performance , which is believed to be the best in its class by DisplayMate. In fact, one of the consistent rumours about the Galaxy S5 that didn’t materialize was a 2560 x 14400 or a  2K display . However, new rumours hint at the possibility of a 2k S5 variant coming in the near future.

LG’s 5.5-inch panel is reportedly the first ever Quad HD AH-IPS LCD display for smartphones, mere 1.21 mm thick with a 1.2 mm bezel. If this piece of news turns out to be true then the G3 will be the first mainstream Android device to feature a 2K display, unless some other company beats it to the punch. The company is believed to be pushing for a June or July launch for the G3 to compete with high-end flagships from Samsung, HTC and others.

Not much is known about the G3′s other specs yet, however given the recent trend, LG would likely include a fingerprint scanner for its next flagship, and the top-of-the-line Qualcomm processor.
