+1“it’s nice to have hhiegr resolutions, but it would be nearly impossible to distinguish between a 720p and 1080p display when it’s only 4.65 inches”I wrote here at A&M several times and even after your articles that this is wrong. I even posted visual example clarifying that. 1080p and 720p are different only by the factor of 1.5. So called retina display requirement was calculated based on 12″ distance from your eyes. Take your 720p phone just these 1.5 times closer – to 8-9″ (which is for many people normal, if not – take reading glasses. I’ve noticed myself at this distance and kids play games at even closer one sometimes) and your 720p will reveal all its ugly pixelated “glory”. 1080p is needed for better look and much smoother scaling of fonts specifically tiny ones. At 8-9″ distance the pixelation on 1080p phone will be similarly visible because pixels will have almost the same angular dimensions as on your 1080p TV or 1080p monitor. And i hope you see all pixel on your TV, if not – go to the doctor. Gamers who afraid losing fps will actually not lose anything with 1080p. No one pushes them play their games at full native screen resolution. Will repeat – for the texts having 1080p is crucial. This will increase information capacity of your screen so you will be able do real work on seemingly small (but actually NOT, not the physical size matter but angular size!!!) cellphone screen. You will be able to read full webpages without zooming, edit documents etc almost like on your computer.
