I can't find it, I heard it is possible since Android 7.0. So, is the option present in Axon 7?
I'm on A2017G (B01 Nougat 7.0) and it's possible, the setting is under Display

That's only changing the font size, not the actual resolution

There is no way to change the resolution only the display scale, and that's what this setting does
You can make it even smaller (or bigger) by setting a custom display scaling. Enable developer options -> then find a setting called smallest width. Then your custom value in it. For example I use 500. bigger values will make the screen show more content(make everything smaller)

no need for root. go in About phone, then tap build number 7 times. It'll enable developer options. This will appear in the advanced settings. then do as I said in previous post.
In terminal emulator:
Code:
wm size widthxheight
So it you wanted to change the resolution to 1080p:
Code:
wm size 1080x1920

Yeah, but for what I know, Android 7.0 supports changing resolution, am I correct? What about 1080p, or 720p, what should I type into ,,width: section?

May I ask what the benefit is for lowering the resolution?
On some Samsung phones you can change the resolution.
The benefit for the battery is nearly 0%

But there is no way to type ,,x" into the smallest wide. By default, it is 360 dp

go to Settings > Advanced > Developer Options and change the smallest width from 360 to the value you need.
410 to 430 good for me... i think 550dp will change it to tablet mode.

if you change the resolution (using build.prop) the stock apps won't scale good.. eg. Stock Dailer incall UI. ..
if you don't care abt stock appps.. root and change the build.prop thats the best option.
Try messing with the DPI. You can find some apps on the market that edit this value for you
can reducing resolution improve 3D gaming performance? like more fps. for example always get more than 30 fps which was not possible with high resolution.

if you're not getting more than 30fps on games I'd recommend you to check the settings. turn VSync off, and if that still doesn't help just lower some setting.
You can get more FPS by reducing the resolution but it's a headache, a bunch of stuff breaks until you restore to stock resolution and restart the phone.
Newer games have a resolution slider

Yes of course. If you lower the resolution (NOT DPI) the games will render at that lowered resolution, giving a performance boost. After change of resolution you should change the DPI as well so the icon, menu and app sizes arent too big or too small

Still I don't recommend it at all. Capacitive keys break. Keyboards may get all messed up. and the performance boost is rather negligible
If you're gonna try, get ready to use mipop a bunch...

I was thinking, if this tablet has such a high resolution that stresses the gpu so much, is there anyway to manually lower it? Like, you know, on a computer?

Try changing the DPI there's a few apps on the market that'll do it for free
Changing DPI won't change the resolution, only the size of elements shown on the screen.
Smartphone screens doesn't have the ability to change resolution as far as I know.

Pls do not post this type of questions / requests in General Forum. Wrong section. U can use Q & A section for that.. Next time pls follow that.. Have a nice day..
Try advice 1 from this thread! Worked well for me but i did not see a noticeable effect in regard of batterylife or overall-performance.

First of all, you shouldn't just change to an arbitrary resolution like that. You need it to scale by an integer number - 720p to 1080p means a scale of 1.5x, which will result in a bad quality image. Consider going to 540p instead - this means it'll be stretched horizontally 2x, and artifacts will be less visible. I'm unsure about battery improvements - upscaling will take place regardless so it may not be worth it because no proper testing has taken place. I'd instead consider using greenify, running an AOSP ROM without gapps (google play services are a huge battery drain) and other solutions to improve your battery.

Does the screen look noticibly sharper after this?
Just wondering if worth the effort/trade off in battery life
I must say that I'm a bit skeptical about this. The screen has a specific number of pixels, in the XA1 case 720 x 1280, and it is not possible to increase with setting a value in Android. Lowering the value is possible since then the software can count several pixels as one (but usually it does not look that good).
In the GSMarena review they use a microscope to look at the pixels and sure they don't count them but I think after looking at so many screens they would have notice if the pixels was so small that the screen was a 1080 x 1920 screen instead.
If you saw my old phone, you too would be happy with the current resolution.
Why pump it up. Uses your battery quicker
Very Eager to tryit out but worried about battery life. Is it worth??
Strong post
thanks for your help , I have been bothered by the xa1 's low ppi for a long time:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
Does this only change the dpi? As stated above you can't add pixels to a screen that's 720p

Yes you r right. but the point is you can view youtube with FullHD setting. and you will get more space, also UI like tablet for some app if you want
I use these settings :
adb shell wm size 480x850
adb shell wm density 240
in settings, display, use the smallest size of font.
you can use too but it's blur :
adb shell wm size 360x640
adb shell wm density 180
I tried this out and my batterylive isnt affected. But I'm not able to take a screenshot anymore
1. Probably not the best idea to publish a video with your pirated movies and MILF porn clearly visible
2. How could this be possibly be... possible? Unless Sony has built in a 1080 display and lowered the resolution via software (why would they?!), I call complete bull****.
What you're changing is what the phone tells YT it is capable of. So you're using more data and also more battery for no visual improvement whatsoever. It just doesn't have more pixels.

In case of Youtube it helps, because videos are encoded with very low quality to save space and bandwidth.
It always help to use higher resolution of video than screen has resolution anyway. I do this on ma PC for couple of years now.
On phone screen is so small it makes little but still noticeable difference, but i don't care about it, i want battery life especially when I watch YT while travelling.
EDIT:
I've checked the screen with good old cardboard.
It is 720p and android probably is downsampling 1080p to it if You change the resolution.
So in conclusion other than 1080p in Youtube You only waste Your battery life.
If You want 1080p in Youtube, get modded app.
Anyway it is interesting gimmick, but with no real purpose.
Hi Guys,
I'm searching for the best settings for a crispy clear image on Mate 9. I want you guys to share your thoughts.
Wich Dpi is best? 480, 425, 400???
Wich Resolution is best? 1080x1920, smaller or bigger?
Let's begin ?
Edit:
My settings are: Resolution = 1440x2560
View Mode = Medium
Font size = Normal
But not very happy with these...
i use FHD with 560DPI, it causes some issues in certain apps, but the phone looks MUCH better with much more content filling the awesome 5.9 screen
I use Dpi 400 .
I assume you have to be rooted to change the dpi? Also would improving the density make it better for VR? Less obvious pixels and sde?

No need to be rooted to change dpi. You can use adb commands

What is the native dpi of the S5 screen (which may not be the default dpi)? I see 432 and 480 mentioned on the internet, but am unsure which is the actual native dpi that matches the screen size and resolution.
480 according to these topics: https://www.reddit.com/r/galaxys5/comments/4ubopf/what_is_the_default_dpi_of_the_s5/
https://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s5/general/guide-change-dpi-s5-t2854750
that's why i hate stock roms of s5 when u change the dpi the camera and dialer size becomes unfit to the screen
I'm using samyux it has a fine dpi small but not smaller...
Its 480. I'm running mine at 380.
