is it a vga display?
no. On a display small as the compact has, it would be unreadable!
ahhh i see,i just saw that some apps had for VGA
thanks mate
It is QVGA (240 x 320 pixels). Not VGA (640 x 480 pixels).
Regards,
Arto.
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
IS IT Possible to change the resolution like with nyiditdot and make 176 x 220 to 240 x 320 because iv seen an asus z810 same size screen as my device 2inch however it has 240 x 320 Resolution. the Reason for this most new apps for wm5+ are ment 4 240 x 320 because thats the standard thanks ie anyone can help .
Hello new to the forum and just got my new HD mini a few days ago. I have seen many post about the HVGA resolution and app compatibility. But cold some one tell me why it is HVGA? I mean my old I-Mate Ultimate 6150 has a 2.8in screen and a resolution of 640 x 480. So why does the Mini have 320 X 480?
BTW I love my new Mini.
HVGA eats battery less
and a bit cheaper for HTC to build
hmmm..i'm not agree about battery thing..it drains pretty fast
So is it the screen itself that is not capable of higher resolutions or is it software?
The first one.
Thank you for the info. Can you explain why?

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
Last time I check, this is the real world oh Hai luk, search!

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.

The screens have the same number of pixels (1200*800 vs 1280*720, they just took 80 from one sie and added to the other) but the Nexus has smaller screen to pack those Pixels in.
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
