Apple makes a big fuss when discussing the razor sharp images of the iPhone’s Retina display, but now there’s a new resolution champ that tops Apple’s offering by a solid third.

Sharp’s new 5-inch screen is the first display to offer 1920×1080 “full HD” video resolution in a size small enough to use in a smartphone. Compare that to the iPhone 5′s 1136×640 4-inch display, and it becomes clear that this is a pretty big step. Crunch the numbers, and you’ll find that the Sharp screen manages to cram in 443 pixels per inch, compared to the iPhone 5′s 326 ppi.
