I notice the screen resolution is actually higher than 640 x 480 because you can tell when a LCD is running at its native resolution or not. The image should be bright and crispy. I also have a friend who told me the same thing that our Athena should be 800 x ???, anyone can confirm that?
I see Sharp can support 800 x ??? for their upcoming PDA phone, so it is possible that HTC's next upgrade is taking us to 800 X 600?? Anyone can confirm that, too?

I am sure it's only 640 x 480; although the image looks sharp and beautiful on Athena, but that's just because it has a better screen, the resolution is only 640 x 480, you can see that if you compare to Universal, the font on Athena actually look unclear and have edges compare to Universal. They both have the same resolution, but Athena's screen is bigger so that's why you see the edges

can touch hd do 640 x 480 video, searched forum but cant find much
No it can't, due to hardware limitations.
when will htc ever learn
they haven't changed this since the spv original
were in the age of hd recording for f****k sake
sorry for language just irritating, main reason I moved to symbian devices is that they had better day to day big standard camera with reasonable quality
htc always lags behind in camera department
640 x 480 is not really HD
but x1 which is made by htc do 640 x 480 in 30fps I read
think is that a lawsuit between qualcomm and broadcom mean that
qualcomm cpu's which htc use a lot can't be sold in USA
so the remove the feature
The resolution of the Atrix is 960 x 540 which is higher than the usual standard 800 x 480 of most phones and apps are designed for this resolution. So will apps just be slightly upscaled to fit the phone?
I could be wrong, but I believe apps are *supposed* to be designed to resolution independence. There are many phones that have screens smaller than 480x800 and there are the Droids that are 480x854, and there aren't issues with compatibility unless they're poorly written.
Right. Unlike with iPhones, properly coded Android apps adapt to many different screens.
You can read the technical details in Google's documentation here:
http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html
also don't forget it's supposed to be Pentile matrix
Pentile won't show up to the apps though, the subpixel calculations will be handled at the hardware level.

If it is anything like the galaxy tab, it will be hit or miss. Most of the apps I run on my tab are scaled up to fit the whole screen, while others are not.
wish screen is most pixelated, htc sensation or the note. Dose someone know if there is a test who show the 720p mobile screen comparison inzoomed
Samsung Galaxy Note
800 x 1280 pixels, 5.3 inches (~285 ppi pixel density)
HTC Sensation:
540 x 960 pixels, 4.3 inches (~256 ppi pixel density)

I meen side by side in real world, 1280x800 pentile vs 960x540 rgb

I mean to other 720p displays like the rezound and lg 4 g, not 800X480 screens
Oh, please, we're talking about small screens. 1000 pixels on 4 inches.
If you see pixels on any of those two screens you should call the Guinness Book of Records to claim the sharpest eyesight on the World.
I can't see any pixels when reading text on the Galaxy Note Screen.
Hell, Ipad and Ipad 2 have 1024x768 on a 10" screen and nobody is complaining about pixellation.
You're talking about a screen that's 5" and has roughly the same resolution.

I answered your question above, specifically the HTC Sensation is more "pixelated" because the ppi is lower(though only by a tiny bit, and not noticeable)

Right now I think the Galaxy Nexus is the only other 720P mobile screen available(limited). The Res on the Nexus is 720 x 1280 pixels, 4.65 inches (~316 ppi pixel density) So the "pixelation" would be higher on the Note vs the Nexus. The Note may have more "pixels" then the Note, but the Nexus has smaller screen to pack those Pixels in.
Also, the Galaxy Nexus uses the same Pentile screen that the Note does.

Also, the Galaxy Nexus uses the same Pentile screen that the Note does.
Edit, not the same pixels.
1200 times 800 is 960,000
1280 times 720 is 921,600
Opps

Thanks, I must have mis-read it. I got it right on my first reply because I did a copy and paste.

hey guy, i have a strange question but i bet with some guy that more PPI dependence by CPU strength and screen resolution, or not(??).
what i said that's more power of CPU, then more PPI u can get.(ofcourse the bet is about the Adreno 300)
can you explain me about that more if im right or not? :cyclops:
PPI is about the screen, how the screen is manufactured. Dimensions in pixels is dependent of processing power,CPU if software rasterizing, CPU+GPU if hardware rasterizer.
So a phone with 1080p and 300ppi performs the same as a phone with 1080p and 1000ppi
i think that its not ppi, but resolution is the blood sucker. more resolution, more details,more computing power. which demands greater cpu and gpu powers. and let me clear, large screen size does not necessarily mean greater resolutions. compare s4/z/one with some other devices like grand/mega etc.
also if a device have good resolution and better screen it should use more ppi, which in turn supports ur argument.

PPI stands for pixels-per-inch. Pixels per inch is not the number of pixels; it's how crammed they are together. Resolution is the number of pixels. For example, even though the Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2 have the same resolution screen (ignore the fact that the S3's is pentile), the Galaxy S3 has a higher PPI because it has the pixels crammed into a smaller screen size (4.7 inch vs 5.5 inch). If the Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2 had the same processor, RAM, etc, and only the screen size was different, they would perform identically. They both have the same amount of pixels, but the Galaxy S3 screen looks sharper because the screen is smaller.
What strains the processor is a higher resolution, not directly a high PPI. It's the same thing with a computer; if I run Crysis at 640 x 480 (the lowest possible resolution), I'll probably get an amazing frame rate (smoothness) even though the picture will look like crap. Why? The processor and graphics card have to process less pixels to display on the screen. Now, if I ran the game at 1080p, the frame rate would suffer dramatically, but the picture quality would look amazing. The processor and graphics card now have a LOT more to display on the screen. That's the gist of it.
got it thanks for all replays!
Have just got a new Tab A 10.5 (2018) the screen resolution is stated 1920 x 1200 but when I go online to check, website reports it's 1280 x 800.
Can anyone shed any light on this as want it to record video at full resolution
