My 55" 4k TV has pixels visible pretty much from distances under 1m. I use it for showcasing my photography portfolio, looks much better than on 1080p, as well as to review my hyperlapse movies and that's about it. 8k on a smartphone will be different though, but why? 720p on 5" is close to "good enough" for median vision of population.

8k is supposed to be the "final resolution" of TV as it should bring retina-style to people with perfect vision (not to eagles though).

8K on a smartphone means a reasonable resolution for VR headsets, so don't discourage them. :)
