LG Electronics may possibly make history by offering the highest-ever resolution in its upcoming smartwatch code-named "LG Nemo." According to latest rumors, the South Korean tech giant is currently working on the "LG Nemo," which is expected to come with up to a 480 x 480 pixel display.

Quoting Tech Radar, Latin Post reports that the upcoming LG smartwatch will have a round display and, provided a report in Phandroid turn true, the device will also have a display equivalent to that of a smartphone. In fact, this would be the highest resolution offered in any smartwatch thus far.

Thus far, smartwatches have used displays that are 320 x 320, as in the LG Watch Urbane, or 319 x 390, as in the Apple Watch. This denotes that the above mentioned smartwatches are displaying about 240 pixels per inch. If the LG Nemo smartwatch really comes with a 480 x 480 display, that would mean anything between 300 and 400 pixels per inch. According to Liliputing, with this kind of resolution, people may mistake the digital watch for an analog watch.

Currently, LG is using the Nemo code name for the device. In fact, Google also uses fish names for its Nexus devices, hence it is likely that the Nemo could actually be made by Google or that LG is working closely with Google on the device. For instance, the Nexus 6 was code named "Shamu," the code name for Nexus 9 was "Flounder," and the Nexus 5 was called "Hammerhead."

The first two Android Wear devices were made by LG and Samsung. While the LG G Watch used the code name "Dory," the Samsung Gear Live was called "Sprat." Both the devices run stock Android Wear software, which more or less makes them Nexus devices. However, officially they are not.

Although LG Electronics has made any official announcement regarding the LG Nemo smartwatch, if the reports in Phandroid are true, a confirmation is likely to come soon. If the upcoming LG smartwatch really has as high a resolution as it is rumored to have, the device may possibly set the standard for all future smartwatch displays.
