As far as I know, when MS says it is designed to play games at up to 1440p, they are referring to actual next-gen games. I see no reason why it couldn't output higher than 1440p, specs wise it is close enough to Xbox One X it should at least be able to handle native 4K on indie titles that aren't graphically demanding. 

I do hope that Series S is capable of playing BC games that were XB1 X enhanced with XB1 X settings, but with there being less and slower RAM than on XB1 X, I just don't know if it is possible, we'll have to wait and see.

The whole point of moving to SSD was so they could use it to make up for the lack of RAM, as having a gen-leap in RAM would've been too expensive (as the thousands of posts about the PS5 SSD pointed out), so yeah, the more powerful CPU coupled with the SSD should do the trick. I mean, they just showed Gears 5 running at 120fps.
