Smartphones and tablets sporting 4K displays will be with us in 2015.
Speaking at a special event in London, Qualcomm Europe President Enrico Salvatori explained that the world is already ready for 4K.
“The biggest generator of 4K content could be in your pocket already. Mobile devices will be the entry point for 4K content into the market.”
There are already a number of devices capable of capturing 4K video, from the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 which arrived towards the end of 2013, to the more recent Samsung Galaxy S5 and Sony Xperia Z2.
In fact the minimum requirement for a smartphone camera to capture 4K content is 8MP — a sensor we’re seeing on the majority of mid-range devices and which is slowly infiltrating even the budget end of the market.
While these mid and low-end phones don’t offer 4K video recording yet, the signs are good for future devices at all price points.
