5-Inch smartphone displays to be standard in 2013

2013 is going to be a good year for smartphones. It can be said by taking a look at recent releases from LG store, which launched LG Optimus G Pro, an updated model of LG Optimus.

According to the latest released data, G Pro will feature a 1.7GHz Snapdragon processor with 2GB RAM and 32GB built-in storage capacity along with LTE and a 3,000mAh battery. But, the remarkable feature will be the 5-inch high definition display with 1920×1080 pixels.

Interesting feature about Optimus G Pro is that the users have seen this display before in cells like HTC Droid DNA that supports the same display feature. Other devices that feature same 5-inch display are Sony Xperia Z, Huawei’s Ascend D2 and HTC M7.

It is very much clear that handset makers are shifting to 5-inch panels in 2013 from 4.7 or 4.8 inch panel, which was in trend during 2012. Smart phones equipped with 880×400, 940×560 and 1280×720 pixel displays with full high definition will set the landmark in 2013.

This gives rise to question- What will happen to screens in 2014?

Screens can’t get much bigger. Present Phablet’s screen measure from 5-6 inches, but the problem with them is that they can’t be easily managed because of their size and weight. Hence, smart phones bigger than 5-inch display will feature in phablet category. The best video content shot in 1080p HD matches 5-inch panel. Hence smart phone makers have no other option but to come up with some more striking features.
