Supported resolutions?

[MojoDoj0]

Does anyone know if resolutions higher than full hd is supported in WP 8.1? This will show if rumors about upcoming Nokias are accurate or not.

I haven't heard about it, but im pretty darn sure that the 1820 was made up

Yes it will now Support up to 1440?2560 QHD

So the rumors about QHD windows phones like the 1820 can be true

Nice Come on Nokia, Bring me a monster so I can upgrade my 920!

What's the point?

Our eyes cant distinguish a sub 450 ppi screen from a 450+ ppi screen.

No visual gain and these high resolution screens would just kill the battery.

I would wait for qHD (960x540) 4.3'' phone like the HTC One S. Fits perfectly in my hand..

You don't need anything above 720p actually. You can't distinguish, as said above. The only reason (which doesnt exist on WP, only on symbian/android .. etc) would be more widgets - I remember that on my N8 I could put only like a few widgets and a few shortcuts and my homescreen is full (360x640 resolution). You can NOT tell the difference between that and a fullHD, not even to talk about fullHD and QHD. Useless, useless, useless.

The article is about going to the theoretical limits of the human eye. Just because someone could theoretically tell a difference (assuming perfect eyesight which nobody has, under perfect lighting conditions which almost never exist, and looking at a picture with infinite contrast which no smartphone display can replicate, and by squinting and shoving the device up your nose), doesn't mean you'd be able to tell a difference in everyday use. The benefits above 720p are already very small. Above 1080p they are, for all practical purposes, non existent. On the other hand, what you must give up for that miniscule benefit is very noticeable. Worse frame rates in games. Worse battery life or a dimmer display. Poorer contrast... It's a ridiculous marketing driven hype that is good for nothing but bragging rights, and in many cases its counterproductive.

All of this assumes we're talking about devices with a 5" display or smaller. Once we get into tablet sizes it's obviously a different story.
