Differences in screen resolutions in S7 android 7.0 - Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion

Hello every body,
Android 7.0 update brought to the S7 the ability to change the screen resolution in order to save power.
This feature was introduced first in the dead beast Note7
So, what are the differences between these resolutions?
I did capture some pictures using an X25 lens and here is the result.
The order is 720p then 1080p then 1440p

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
here are some other samples
I think the difference between 720p and others is clear
The difference between 1080p and 1440p might be more clear in photo colors
Thats it and you can judge for your self
Best regards

Thank you!
I was wandering at hardware level what was the difference.

i dont know about battery but at 1080p will improve performance drastically in games and some apps, and the dif from 1440 is almost unseen to the eye

Battery improvements here are unlikely to be noticeable as the main power draw is the screen itself which will still use the same power regardless of resolution.

Agree. Anything higher than 1080p at least at this form factor is probably only good for VR.

Vs.
Can't help but notice that one has cleartype on, one does not, one has phone functions on, one does not.
What other elements make this an unfair test? It's inconclusive until they both are running identical roms with the exact same settings under the exact same conditions?
Still, I own a TyTN so I shan't argue much.
I read something about the drivers for the kaiser's graphic card werent taking full advantage of the hardware acceleration.
This might be ONE reason.
Another is simply random results. Both have similar specs aside from the RAM (which has no impact on such benchmark, since the hermes wont run low on RAM for the test anyway).
The phone services and cleartype are turned on on the higher result benchmark. I'd have assumed they would LOWER the results and not boost the results, especially considering the hermes shares the CPU with the phone services.

Would anyone buy this device??

Would anyone buy a device which was a merge of the Galaxy Camera & the Galaxy Note ???

I would !!!
Yeah a nice utopic idea, but with the current technology you might as well grab a brick to your ear. The battery would have to be huge, I know the full HD recording sucks battery like crazy and just look at how thick the Samsung camera is. Now imagine this with a 5.5 inch screen and you'll see how that would not work,
I would already love if the camera could also be used as a phone. That way I would probably get the Note 2 and my wife would keep the Camera, as she loves taking pictures of everything. Too bad it's just a fancy camera with Android on it, and only time will tell if it is worth it.
Samsung should allow simcards to be put in the Galaxy Camera like what they did in their Samsung W880 (http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_sch_w880_amoled_12m-review-398.php).
I'm certain if they did this, the Galaxy Cam would be the most serious rival to the new iphone as the hype is already here for the Galaxy Cam! They would only need to advertise it as a smartphone camera shooter like what Nokia did with their 41mpx pureview.
I think the Camera is a great idea - if the next generation really improves the quality of the sensor it would be almost perfect for everyday photography.

Washed Out?

I thought the screen looked pretty good until I played this video and noticed the grass didn't look right. Then I played it on my XYBoard 8.2 and WOW what a difference! The XYBoard has an IPS screen just like the N7, so I'm not comparing it to a Super AMOLED, just another screen of the same technology.
I should mention that both are at max brightness. And it's not that the N7's screen is just brighter, because the whites on the XYBoard's screen are actually brighter than the whites on the N7's screen.
I'm wondering if there is some way to adjust the contrast and saturation...
XYBoard is top, N7 is bottom:

Happens after HD playback. There's a script you run to fix it. Also I would love some contrast and color control as well...

I too find that my nexus lacks contest and- to a lesser extent- saturation.

as per the other thread on this , if you are rooted and dont mind paying for the app here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.widgets.big.tegra.prism.toggle
it fixes it.. i noticed quite a difference..
Try a test-card image and you'll probably see that yellows, green and cyan are really weak. I'm pretty sure this relates to the badly calibrated screens mentioned here: http://www.displaymate.com/news.html#8 and all devices have it.

Turn your Note 2's screen into a cinematic 42" viewing experience [ideas]

So back when I still had my Canon T2i I had a viewfinder which magnified the 3" display 2.8x.

. In the ad it mentioned the cinematic experience and strangely enough it wasn't a lie. It looked amazing. However, because of the low amount of pixels it was quite easy to count them.
Now, I think the Note 2 has a lot of potentional to also be turned into a cinema beast, for watching movies for example. The cool thing about the viewfinder was that from the inside it even looked like a theater, due to the shape and a soft material which contributed to the overall feel. Pretty cool. This thread is mainly meant for creative ideas, since there aren't any 5'5" double eyed viewfinders out there. So join in, see who else is interested.
Would be amazing if this could materialize. Keeping track of this thread.

:good: So I did find a (rare) dual viewfinder, for the Canon 5D3 etc, which is suitable for 3.2" screens. This pic is for reference and perhaps an idea. The issue with finding the right magnification has to do with the focal length/point, size of the magnifier and the piece that would connect to the screen.

Xiaomi Mi5S Plus: Full Video Review

Hi Guys,
as always I want to share with you my italian review of the Xiaomi Mi5S Plus.
PROs:
stunning display 5.7 inch
amazing performance
very good battery life
CONs:
Desing
Sharp edges
No optical stabilization
I bought the sample from the iBuyGou Shop. The transparent case included in the box sucks. But I can't find any good cover at the moment. I don't like the original one.
I update this post with some interesting screenshots .
P.S. My sample is the MI5S Plus with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal memory.
I hope that some users can uploads some benchmarks of the 6GB of RAM version.
At this address you can find my complete blog review with more photos, bench and other info: http://www.pcexpert-blog.com/2016/10/recensione-xiaomi-mi5s-plus.html
