Contrary to previous information coming from Joe Belfiore it turns out that the third live tile on Windows Phone 8.1 depends on the screen size only, and not the resolution.
The correction comes straight from Windows Phone guru himself over Twitter, saying that the third live tile column is set by the manufacturer depending on the screen size and not the resolution. Mr. Belfiore apologized for his mistweet and clarified the situation.
Questions were raised after we saw the 720p Lumia 1320 sporting the three column start screen yesterday.
Also… 3 column start is set by phone manufacturer by SCREEN SIZE not resolution. I mistweeted last week. Need big screen.

And here’s the previous, misleading tweet Belfiore sent. It appears that it will be up to manufacturers to decide whether or not their smartphones get a third column on their homescreens or not.
For those asking– 3rd column in start (and all the other related UI changes throughout OS) are for LARGE SCREEN devices only (w 1080p).
