Samsung has no doubt emerged as the leading Android smartphone maker and the biggest competition to Apple’s iPhone. Now Samsung plans to make its handsets even more attractive to consumers by drastically advancing the screen resolutions in its 2014 phones.

According to theverge.com:

“It’s time to start getting used to discussing WQHD resolution, or 2560 x 1440 pixels, in relation to smartphones. Samsung’s Analyst Day gathering today shed some light on the company’s future plans, and the display category was highlighted by the promise of 560ppi AMOLED panels for phones. Combine that with the 1440p resolution and you get a 5.2-inch handset — the same dimensions as on LG’s 1080p G2, but with 78 percent more pixels. And if that’s not enough, we’re told to look forward to 4K resolutions — also known as Ultra HD or 3840 x 2160 — in 2015.”

Samsung with its Galaxy S and Galaxy Note phones has been redefining the smartphone market. However, one area where the company has lagged behind Apple is in the phone display, but the new design could end that failing. Samsung is also looking to up the quality of its camera as well.

As also reported by theverge.com:

“Samsung also disclosed its plans for a new 16-megapixel smartphone camera sensor in 2014, while reiterating its plans to build new 64-bit ARM chips and noting that it intends to develop its own customized 64-bit core. That would give it parity with Apple, which is already custom-designing its own ARM processor for mobile devices.”

Earlier reports have suggested that Samsung may unveil their flagship Galaxy S5 as soon as January. So the public may get a look at these new displays in the upcoming months
