6" is the diagonal measurement. So that's 1800 pixels diagonally. 1080p is 1920x1080, so about 2200 pixels diagonally.

I absolutely love the look of the crisp text on the Nexus 6, but I don't think that it would be very visible in most video content.

Oh ok. I retract that argument, then.

Though one thing I will still mention is panning. While you're panning, at sufficiently high framerates you're still effectively having 1 pixel for every 2. (Look at what happens when you draw a one-pixel-width horizontal line. In general, with non-integer position, it'll take up 2 pixels high, in some proportion.)

Still not an argument for quite as high as 4k though.
