LG Nemo tops wearable tech market with 480 x 480 pixel resolution

LG is currently working on its next generation Android wearable device. According to reports, the upcoming smartwatch is unlike any other.

Tech Times reports that the LG Nemo will be featuring a very unique pixel resolution of 480 x 480. Once launched into the market, it will be the very first to feature such massive pixel density since common smartwatch screens feature only 320 x 320, as with the LG Urbane, or 319 x 390, as with the Apple Watch.

This leaked information was first reported by Phandroid. Unfortunately, however, it was the only LG Nemo detail that its sources have divulged, according to the report.

At present, the maximum pixel density that is showcased on yet another LG smartwatch, the 1.3-inch LG Nemo, is 240 ppi. Assuming that the leaked device specs turn out to be true, it looks like the LG Nemo will pip that by a very wide margin with a pixel density from 300 to 400 ppi.

Avid LG tech users have been left to speculate on whether or not the upcoming wearable tech will be featuring a tout, square, or rectangular face.

Taking a look at the codename chosen for LG's upcoming smartwatch, it looks like the company is taking its inspiration from the hit Disney animated movie "Finding Nemo." The Nexus 6 was called "Shamu," the Nexus 5 was "Flounder," the Nexus 9 was "Hammerhead," and the LG G Watch was "Dory." Calling the upcoming 480 x 480 wearable tech "Nemo" may just complete the series.

The rumored 480 x 480 pixel resolution will not only largely improve the smartwatch's app visibility in environments with very harsh lighting, but it also reportedly means that the unit will have to be attached to a stronger battery source. Reports state that LG might possibly need to have a bigger battery pack for the LG Nemo - if it will actually see the light of day - to fuel it for its daily activities.
