How about we wait til the end of the year to see how many phones HTC pumps out before we jump to conclusions on that promise.

That’s so funny. qHD on a 4 inch is a pretty respectable 275ppi.

For me, as long as the non-removable battery is big enough(2200-2500) than I’m not too heart broken. But yeah, 1700 isn’t gonna cut it.

why thank you.

Much better response than I get when I comment on stuff over on Engadget. There’s this one guy over there who I swear just trolls on all of the articles about the Inc 4G just saying “THERES NO EXCUSE FOR qHD in 2012. HERP-A-DERP-A-DERP”

That’s true, but we haven’t been given any reason to think that it may be.

It’s not so much that it’s a bad phone, it’s just that it’s basically a Rezound with a better processor and a worse (lower quality, not just smaller) screen. It’s an incremental change especially when compared to the One X.

HTC vowed to intro fewer and better phones. This is in complete contrast to that promise.

There’s nothing saying that it isn’t SLCD2. I still think it could be. You have to remember the specs page was pretty vague. It didn’t even say anything about the S4 processor. So they could have just put “super LCD” to keep it simple for the general public.

People on tech blogs have boners for bigger better screens. That’s it. qHD is a good resolution on a 4″ screen. You get a 275ppi, which is pretty good. It’s not the best out there by any means, but it’s still better than a lot of good phones, like the Razr Maxxxs and the SGSII, just to name two. You sacrifice a little bit of ppi for better battery life, which is a compromise most users would take.

That said, a better screen technology might have silenced some of them. SLCD in 2012 is pretty weak. I would’ve liked to have seen SAMOLED or SLCD2. Either way though, like you said… the screen is the only thing (that matters) about this phone that is not high-end.

Some people have criticized the front-facing camera too, but I don’t really classify that as “something that matters.” It’s .3MP (VGA) not 1.3 or 2.0 and that bothers people, even though it makes pretty much no difference on a FFC. A FFC is used for videoconferencing, not picture taking, and for that VGA is sufficient. Half of the time it’s the network choking the quality anyway, not the sensor. Don’t get me wrong, I have no idea why they used VGA… I cant imagine a 1.3MP sensor is much more expensive for them. I’m just saying who cares.
