Wallpapers on steroids: Ultra high-res works for your Quad HD smartphone

High resolution, quality wallpapers are a hard thing to find, especially if you have as many as 1440 x 2560 pixels to fill with information – as you would if you have a smartphone with a Quad HD display.

The reasons for that are several. Perhaps most importantly, however, it's just exceedinly easy for wallpaper repositories to simply upscale lower resolution content to make it appear as if it would fit perfectly on your fancy screen, but the reality is that stretching the image takes a ton from the quality. And that's not what you want if you're looking to make the most of your pixel-rich display. That's where we come in.

In fact, quite a few of our picks today far exceed what even your pixel-dense screen can achieve. Best of all, even if you have a phone with a more standard, 720p or 1080p resolution, you can still make full use of them – your phone's software will automatically downscale them so that they fit nicely, and they'll still look great.
