Xperia Z5 premium, 4K screen but the contents are reproduced in full HD
To maintain the usual monumental operational autonomy of the family Xperia Z, Sony has imposed a major limitation on the top of the range: the rendering of several screens will be in full HD despite the 4K display. Do you agree with the choice?
Many content played on the new Sony Xperia Z5 premium will be rendered at the full HD resolution, and no matter if the screen of the device supports Ultra HD 4K. The compromise was established by engineers of the Japanese manufacturer to preserve the autonomy of the device, optimize performance, and deliver over 800 PPI display only where actually there may be clear evidence.
The graphic interface elements are the same as the native Full HD models, and are then scaled to the new resolution. Even the third-party applications behave the same way, with special tools that identify the traditional 1080p native resolution of the device. In short, the first smartphone with the highest resolution display 4K renders only when we see photos or videos, and perhaps also of other carefully selected software not yet known.
Sony has only recently confirmed the particular behavior of the device: ” Xperia Z5 Premium integrates a display 4K resolution 3840×2160 pixels, standards-based SID, and you can play all the videos and images at 4K resolution, ” the company said in PhoneArena . ” All other content is played back at 1080p and lower resolutions in order to optimize performance and battery life of the device. ”
In this way, Sony can ensure that it’s Xperia Z5 Premium has the same (long) autonomy of the traditional model, despite its display more broadly defined and retaining the benefits of the latter, especially ” where needed most. ”
However, the sharp and controversial maneuver Sony has been welcomed by users in very different ways: on one side are those who defend the choice of the company, since they render all screens to 4K would force the Snapdragon 810 calculations are not strictly necessary for the experience of end-use, on the other, there are those who ask the way to introduce a resolution so high when the hardware is not yet able to handle it appropriately.
