@uliwooly

I proposed to update

Setting for change resolution of all apps
Example: changing resolution of play store to HD for more battery life, changing Mx-player to 4K for more video quality and changing Games to HD for more speed and battery life or 4K for more quality

Did you understand?

Follow @Quester's suggestion, keep in mind that I don't know if there are 4K capable games, not even on PS4

Imagine the outrage regarding heat and screen on time if they did that. A 4k game would destroy battery life, even if the gpu could push the frames to an acceptable level.
I'd be happy with streaming media support, especially netflix and YouTube, but neither of those are sonys responsibility.

@viridis
I know this
just gave an example!
If this setting be added Users can choose their own choice! More battery life or More Screen Quality

I Choose More Battery life by changing resolution to HD

But a higher quality in favor of another user! By changing to 2K or 4K!
In addition, new applications such as virtual reality come daily And can not wait for sony update to changing 4K resolution in this app!
Or other Gallerys or video players run in FullHD resolution!

If sony adding this setting is so good 🙂

But third party apps will have to enable 4K support, I don't see the point of using 4K on the home launcher for example, or while checking an Email, etc

I agree.. the current state the 4K display is no good as all content is rendered in 1080p.. Samsung also has this feature Note 7 (that not make it ..pitty :(.. ) but this is a default option built in the Android N update rolling out now for S7 and S7 edge devices..

the choice should be of an user to choose screen resolution over battery perfromance.. if people think it will kill the battery.. then might as well buy a 1080p phone.. just my views

I agree with my friend here.. Samsung has given these options to the users.. to change the 2K display either to 1080p - 2k or 720p.. depending on how the user wants the content to display.. it is given that if the suer goes for higher resolurtion it will negatively impact the battery performance.. and aregulably what is the point in having a 4k display that will render only 1080p content. might as well have 1080 p display and kill the price of the so called flagship...!

But it doesn't only render 1080p content.
When viewing images or video it renders in native 4k, some apps out there can also enable 4k but they are rare.
Dpi scaling is also am option but that can affect the layout of certain system app screens.

I agree...but the 2k display on all phoen renders UI and other content upto scale... and lets agree people like the 2k display all the time and wouldn't neccesarrily like the same content in 1080p all the time.. honest poll would you like the content to be 1080p or 2k all the time...
