Much like the Retina Display Macbook Pros, it's more about marketing. The hardware barely drives these screens.

That being said, that Droid DNA has a beautiful display.

no actually, retina display on mac really makes a difference, it's much more crisp and clear IMO

Today's hardware is very much capable of handling these high res displays.

Majority won't even be able to tell a difference. Great placebo effects.

how is it a placebo effect when there is real difference

The problem is that people would want it on 5+ inch because it would be under 300 PPI to make a 720p 5 inch screen, so most people could tell the difference.

If they have the tech, why not? It's ok for a phond to have FHD but i just hope manufacturers shoukd not let the laptops left behind...FHD should be the standard resolution of laptops 13" above..

The pixel density calculated on device comes to 490 ppi. Say close to 500ppi.

Many apps are built so they can scale easily on Android. I think most of them will "support" it but very few non-tablet apps will be optimized for it.

Neither can I. A 1080p super amoled screen is going to be wicked.
