One year ago, the very first smartphones with 1080p displays were only just hitting the market: HTC released its Butterfly/Droid DNA family, and only a few months after that we were seeing 1080p devices absolutely dominate flagship offerings from all the big Android players.

We just got done telling you about the new Facebook beta for Windows Phone 8 that Microsoft is trying to get some users interested in beta testing. That’s great news on its own, but in revealing the new version of the app, did Microsoft just show its cards regarding the rumored new resolution support for the platform? The screenshots of the Facebook beta Microsoft provided sure look nice, but they don’t seem to accurately reflect how the app appears on currently-available Windows Phone handsets. Check out the ...

GDR3 would be even farther out, and the big Windows Blue release would ultimately arrive after that. As we wait for official word on these updates, ...
