Apple, Samsung and Google may draw envious eyes with their high-res screen tech, but even the big boys may turn green with jealousy over a new Chinese smartphone with a whopping 2K display.
Oppo has fired the latest salvo in the battle for high-pixel displays as it's thumbed its nose at 1080p and teased a 2K-screened handset.
Samsung Galaxy S5 beater?
Just over a year ago, Oppo beat every other smartphone maker to the 1080p punch with the Find 5, an Android smartphone that crunched 441 pixels per inch into a thin handset with a 5-inch display.
Oppo's teaser image offers little clue as to what else the Find 7 might bring to the table, although current rumors point to a Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 processor with 3GB RAM, powered by a 4,000mAh battery.
Despite Oppo's gusto, it may be a race to see who truly introduces 2K phones first. On December 16, word surfaced the Samsung Galaxy S5 would feature a QHD (or 2K) 2560 x 1440 display, though it may not launch until MWC in February.
Oppo offered no clues as to when the Find 7 would show its 2K face, though it stands as good a chance as any of making a splash at CES in January. We'll find out soon enough.
