Smartphones with Quad HD (1440 x 2560) resolution displays

When we first heard that manufacturers might be making the transition to even pixel-denser displays than the flagship industry standard of 1080p, us and the community as a whole were skeptical of the value proposition. It seemed like manufacturers are sacrificing precious battery life for nothing more than bragging rights – after all, even people with perfect, 20/20 vision would have a hard time actually spotting a difference in clarity on such small panels. Regardless, the Android industry pressed on, and we currently have about a dozen of high-end, high-profile devices that offer as many pixels. 

Now, while a comparable (in terms of quality) 1080p panel will always draw less power than a 1440p one, as of late, devices of the latter type have proven capable of providing up to two days of usage – like the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and the Motorola DROID Turbo, for example. Sure, those two would have probably clocked an even better time if they stuck to a 1080p screen, but it's honestly looking like there's no turning back at this point. Welcome to the Quad HD era, everybody!
