Why is Sony the only one in the world to launch a 4K mobile phone?

Sony's Xperia Z5 Premium is currently the only smartphone equipped with a 4K screen, and according to Korean media, this situation is likely to last for quite a while.

After Sony launched the world's first 4K screen phone, the Xperia Z5 Premium, will you expect more 4K screens to be available next year? If you have such a wish, then perhaps you won't have a chance to realize it next year. Because according to Korean media, Samsung and LG, two leading manufacturers in South Korea's electronics industry, do not plan to launch 4K phones next year.

The website G4Games recently quoted a report from Korean media INews24, pointing out that Samsung and LG currently have no plans to launch 4K screen mobile phones. However, this is not entirely because of inadequate technology, but because the current market share of 4K mobile phones is still small, and they consume too much power. After considering and weighing various factors, the two companies still plan to first improve the quality of their current 2K screen products, and work towards improving battery life and outdoor display quality.

Therefore, it can be inferred that Sony will still be the only company that has 4K screen phones in the market in 2016 (the Z5 Premium only displays 4K resolution when browsing photos and videos, and the rest of the time it is still Full HD resolution). However, Samsung and LG have spared no effort in pursuing smartphone specifications, and it is still hard to say whether they will change their current plans and launch 4K screen phones when the technology breaks through.

Similar to the situation when 4K TV was launched in the market, the content produced with 4K quality is still very scarce. Therefore, whether it is on TV or mobile phone platform, 4K content is a big problem, which of course also affects the popularity of 4K TV and mobile phones. Therefore, if consumers expect to see more 4K mobile phones, it depends on whether various factors in the market are mature.
