Which smartphone has the highest screen resolution?
Which smartphone has the highest screen resolution - Phones have come a long way in the last couple of years. Where once there was an undisputed king - the iPhone - there is now a game of thrones being played out to be top of the smartphones heap (probably a mixed metaphor there). One way to judge a mobile devices' worth is by looking at which smartphone has the highest screen resolution, so that's exactly what we're going to do here.

Before we delve into the good stuff let's do what we were all taught to do in GCSE/O-Level science and talk about methodology. As there are almost as many different screen sizes as there are smartphones, we think the only fair way to measure the resolution is in terms of pixels per inch (PPI), rather than the total number of pixels on a phone. That's fair enough, right? Good. Let's go.
