Cat's out of the bag.
The LG G2 was first announced in early August, but it looks like LG won't be waiting for the one-year mark before announcing this year's flagship phone. The company has confirmed that the rumored LG G3 will be released before the end of June.
The news was revealed in a statement about LG's first quarter financial results. The company announced that smartphone shipments were up 19 percent compared to last year and revenues increased 6 percent, but added that revenue is expected to grow even further with the release of the G3 in Q2.
"The LG Mobile Communications Company shipped 12.3 million smartphones in the first quarter — comprising 75 percent of all phones shipped — an increase of 19 percent from the same period the previous year," LG said. "Revenues of KRW 3.41 trillion (USD 3.19 billion) increased 6 percent year-on-year and operating profit margins rose quarter-on-quarter due to the launch of G Pro 2 in the domestic market and more efficient marketing spending. Higher revenues are expected in the second quarter with the release of the flagship LG G3 smartphone and wider roll-out of the mass-tier L Series III."
We've been hearing talk of the G3 for a while now. If the rumors are to be believed, the hero feature of this device will be the Quad HD display with a resolution of 2360 x 1440 pixels. LG talked about a Quad HD smartphone display last August, around the same time as the G2 launched. Measuring 1.21 mm thick with a 1.2 mm bezel, the 5.5-inch panel is 12 percent thinner than the 5.2-inch panel on the G2 and packs 534 ppi.

Marketing bull$hit.
What? Quad HD is 3840x2160. I think the author meant to write 2560x1440.

I'm sure she did mean 2560x1440, which is Quad HD, as "HD" is 720p. 1080p is Full HD, and 3840x2160 would be Ultra HD.
Marketing bull$hit.
Why does everyone get so physically angry at the natural progression of displays? I don't understand it - the flag ship phone of each generation sells for roughly the same price, yet the specifications are improving. Why is that a bad thing?
2- such high ppi are just marketing, you have no benefits but you surely have drawbacks, the screen will consume more battery along with the gpu that needs to handle that resolution (which is prohibitive even for desktop gpus). So while the average buyer is allowed to say "wooow" and buy that thing, we should be able to see pros and cons... Here pros are lacking.

1280x720 = HD
1920x1080 = full HD
2560x1440 = quad HD
3840x2160 = ultra HD

jump in resolution like this in a phone isnt really a large improvement to specifications and user enjoyment. Id much rather LG focused on making their displays consume less power right now than more pixel bragging rights. Im pretty sure pixels wont make the screen look much better than it already does, battery life is the bane of smartphones everywhere and the display is where most of it goes.
Is this screen a low-persistence screen? It is possible this would be quite good but there are other factors than just resolution that would make a good screen for the Rift. If this is not LG could probably make a good screen for it if they wanted to though.
Probably human masses have more money to burn than brains, judging by the hype & marketing of EAX, phys-x, dx-10,dx-11, tesselation, 3d, 4k-res ... etc.

4G LTE reduces battery life drastically, should we all stop using that too?
One thing you fail to realize is that even though processors, bandwidth, screen resolutions, and all those neat things that drain batteries continue to grow - so do battery's. Take the Samsung Galaxy S series from start to finish as an example:
SGS BATTERY Li-Ion 1500 mAh battery
Stand-by Up to 750 h (2G) / Up to 576 h (3G)
Talk time Up to 13 h 30 min (2G) / Up to 6 h 30 min (3G)
SGS2 BATTERY Li-Ion 1650 mAh battery
Stand-by Up to 710 h (2G) / Up to 610 h (3G)
Talk time Up to 18 h 20 min (2G) / Up to 8 h 40 min (3G)
SGS3 BATTERY Li-Ion 2100 mAh battery
Stand-by Up to 590 h (2G) / Up to 790 h (3G)
Talk time Up to 21 h 40 min (2G) / Up to 11 h 40 min (3G)
SGS4 BATTERY Li-Ion 2600 mAh battery
Stand-by (2G) / Up to 370 h (3G)
Talk time (2G) / Up to 17 h (3G)
Music play Up to 62 h
SGS5 BATTERY Li-Ion 2800 mAh battery
Stand-by Up to 390 h
Talk time Up to 21 h
Music play Up to 67 h
Seems like resolution and processor aren't effecting battery-life as much as you think it is. Not enough to warrant a stagnation in resolution and processing power anyway.
