I don’t know if you’re being sarcastic or not, but try this. Go into TiBu, go to like ‘uninstall user and system apps’ and take a close look at the red text. You can’t actually see each pixel, but the text could certainly look sharper. I don’t know how else to describe the benefit of having more pixels besides seeing it for yourself.

GNex. So even though you can’t distinguish over 300, anything else over that will give the screen an overall smoothness. Thanks.

Just admit that you were wrong, it’s alright.

I love that you reasoning is that “it’s stupid to use a second number.”

Amazing logic.

My point is not the rounding. My pint all along has been that it is stupid to use a second number past the decimal. Rounding up just makes the most sense. The Gnex is the only device ever to use three numbers for the display size.

So if the Note 2 is 5.56 why aren’t you rounding it to 5.6? It’s obviously closer to 5.6 than it is to 5.5. So what’s your reasoning behind doing this? Because the company promotes it as a 5.5” device? Seems to go against your previous opinions, because Google and Verizon promote the Galaxy Nexus as a 4.65” device.

The screen really has nothing to do with being future proof. Its not like all the sudden Google is going to say 1080p screens are required for android. The internals are plenty future proof in the note

Even if it were 4.65 (I’ve proven it’s 4.7) (4.72 to be exact) 4.65 = 4.7. Now tell your boyfriend to give you some dick, instead of being one : )

You apparently haven’t looked at its spec list on tech sites. Regardless, using a second number past the decimal is retarded. No other device does it.

OK. Well multiple reviews have said the screen looks sharper than 720p phones. There is a difference. Nobody is imagining it. I actually 100% agree with you. I think it is overkill. I also think 720p screens are overkill too though. Yes, I am still rocking a 480p screen on my phone and 800p on my 10″ tablet. Yes, I can see pixels. No, I don’t care. Nor do I understand why after Apple invented the Retina marketing term everyone flipped out that they could see pixels on their screen and became screen whores.

Finally, have you read up on IGZO screen technology? It allows for higher resolution screens with significantly less power consumption and similar costs to traditional LCD. So I don’t see a huge problem with it if the consumer isn’t paying anymore than they normally would and isn’t having to do deal with any significant tradeoff for 1080p. It’s not like the DNA is this giant brick phone that has a horrible battery life and costs $350 on contract. Some people are getting good battery life. Some people are getting bad life. That’s par for the course with new smartphones regardless of resolution of the screen. Switching from traditional LCD to IGZO is as close to a free lunch as I have ever seen. I am most definitely in favor of Sharp pushing this new technology as far as it can go on as many devices big or small as possible. Do not be surprised if at some point you see Apple with an IGZO screen in their devices.

By the Time the Note 2 is finally announced on Verizon, the Note 3 will be announced by Samsung

Fine, I consider my vision perfect. I don’t expect most people to have eyes that are so much better than mine to see individual pixels at 400 vs 300 per inch. This spec game is foolish, and is nothing but a marketing ploy to make consumers think 1080p is necessary on a 5 inch display, or any phone display for that matter.

The images are scaled to reflect the increased pixel density.

Facts are facts man lol, the Galaxy Nexus was released as a 4.65'' device because IT IS a 4.65'' device. It was never spec'd as 4.7'' EVER. Get over yourself and move on. You're wrong, we're right.
