A new study published in Nature by University of Cambridge researchers just dropped a pixelated bomb on the entire Ultra-HD market, but as anyone with myopia can tell you, if you take your glasses off, even SD still looks pretty good :)

I had a 6" 720p phone. Couldn't tell the resolution, but could definitely tell the longer battery life
