Is a 4K front camera worth it over 2K/1440p?

Across the reviewers we read, the consensus is that a well-implemented 1440p STARVIS 2 sensor often matches or beats a budget 4K sensor for license plate legibility, especially at night. Pay for 4K when it's paired with a current-gen Sony sensor (STARVIS 2 IMX678) and a capable processor; otherwise a strong 2K front camera is the better value.
