[deleted post]I own both the Note 3 (selling this weekend) and Note 4. The difference in sharpness between 1080p and 1440p on a 5.7" phone is so minimal it isn't worth it.
Its good if they stay at 5 inch but with the size of M8 it could just as well have been 5.3, that thing is long as a stick, stereo speakers or not, its too long for most pockets and a definite deal breaker.
Also i dont see whats so good about 1080p on 5 inch, jagged lines are screamingly easy to see and small fonts have imperfections, sure its good but not perfect, if theres enough GPU power to push QHD then i say go for it.
I do hope other smartphone makers follow, I would like to emphasize that QHD for devices less than 6.5 inches is nothing more than a waste of processing power.

Note 4 owner here (and loving it). Its good to see common sense prevailing with someone sticking to a 1080p screen on a sub 6" device.
great phone! i'm sure everybody will follow. htc you are the one.
Give me a HTC max with 6.5" screen and those specs and I'll take it.
1080p is getting outdated nowadays 1440p should be the standard of high end phones.
so it is not a top range device. it could express to public htc is out of the top range maker club.
enthusiasts always want more excitement, advancement.
Thank god it's 5 inches. Any bigger and it's impossible to use with one hand.
This could be the perfect phone.
Hope they minimize the bezel.
WTF with M8, big HTC logo and useless black border around it.
They should back to M7 design.
If this is true then I have full confidence in HTC for at least 2 more years. They're being smart, using what makes reasonable sense. Hopefully battery life goes up again.
Htc Hima would be my next phone. I am still in love with my M7 but mine ONE has the problem in updating software. I am still on sense 5 & android 4.3 lol but it still rocks. No lag...nice speakers... Great battery.
For those who are satisfied with 1080p resolution, try VR or google cartoon. These require higher resolution for better viewing experience.
