Samsung has showcased a smartphone display that is specifically at VR. The display was showcased at the Display Week conference in San Francisco and as per a report by UploadVR, the 5.5-inch display features a 4K display with a resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels and a pixel density of 806ppi. The display also features 350nit brightness and a 97% color gamut. It was noted in the report that the display seemed to be running at a lower refresh rate for VR. However, this could be because the display being demonstrated is a prototype. Samsung also showcased a new technology called Bio Blue, which aims to reduce blue light levels in displays. This could potentially reduce eye strain and allow users to enjoy longer playing times.
It is unlikely the Samsung will use the display in its upcoming phone, the Galaxy Note 6 (which may be called the Galaxy Note 7). However, the display might be utilized in the next generation of flagship devices by the company, most notably the Samsung Galaxy X. Reports suggest that the device will not only feature a 4K display, but will also be foldable. Currently, the Sony Xperia Z5 Premium is the only smartphone in the market with a 4K display, while the other flagship devices such as the Galaxy S7 and the LG G5 sport QHD displays with a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels.
