U Gus have Xperia L in hand..... Cam you compare screen size to say galaxy s2..... S2 has a wider screen i guess and XL has a narrow screen.
Even the XM 4" screen seems smaller than a typical 4"

I have both devices and I can tell you the screen size of S2 looks a lot bigger. I am not sure if it's the shape or anything but it looks big. However, I can assure you that both screen size are of 4.3 inch and both are equal. Measurement of screen is always taken diagonally and thus our mind plays tricks on us!
I guess it more has to do more with bezel size than actual screen size
Thanks a lot

4:3 aspect ratio is different thing , very few phones have that aspect ratio ! 4:3 is no longer a standard now , HDTV broadcasting and all are in 16:9 aspect ratio !
oh thats y many apps like themer does not support our phone..

Just curious..
I have both the motorla atrix which is a 4inch screen and the nexus S which samsung says is a 4 inch..
but when i measure the top of the actual screen of the nexus s to the Atrix
The atrix is longer, top to bottom,
corner to corner it seems the same,,
4 inches is the diagonal corner-to-corner measurement.

That's correct, all screen measurements are along the diagonal. Some phones have the same diagonal measurement but may have wider or taller screens with different aspect ratios. For instance the iPhone 4 has a shorter and noticeably wider screen than the HTC Desire which is taller and more narrow. The Motorola Atrix has a qHD display that is again a different aspect ratio and looks a bit odd with the current software on the Atrix as it adds extra pixels that makes the icons smaller on the display. It's just a numbers game...one 4" display can be different from another 4" display. Which is why some companies are promoting display resolution numbers instead since 940x540 is "bigger" than 800x480. And other companies promote physical display size since 4.3" is bigger than 4.0" displays.
So basically it doesn't mean much when you get a measurement tool out and compare phones. Does it work for you is a more important question.
Great example of this, is the Evo and Droid X, they are both 4.3 inch displays but the Evo is wider while the Droid is longer. It's just different resolutions, and by the way you measure screens diagonally

Nice resolution and pretty crisp, but the colours and blacks seem washy when put side by side with my Galaxy S2.

I got these in stock today and after playing around with it I was impressed by the sharpness of the screen - when you zoom into the text it is very similar to the iPhone 4. The SLCD is definitely better than a traditional LCD screen.
I still prefer the bigger screen on the Galaxy S II and the screen just looks so much nicer. The Super Amoled Plus technology is far superior to the SLCD in my opinion.

I think it wasn't about him preferring a screen over the other but about calling it BIGGER when they are both 4.3"
Yes, they have a different area due to aspect ratios but lets face it, the difference is almost negligible and many people don't even understand the difference, they just understand 4.3

The fact is that though the sensation should have a larger display due to 16:9 ratio. Vertically and landscape.

Yes and no. Larger area=definitely
Wider=yes
Longer=no
Remember, the more square a quadrilateral the greater the area for the same diagonal. But some people don't see that.
And as I said, some people don't look past the 4.3" or only focus on one of the dimensions. I didn't say he was right in his comment, just that I didn't think he was bashing on Stesa for liking the Samsung screen more, but rather because his statement of a larger screen APPEARS to be frivolous if you only consider the 4.3 (though Stesa is perfectly correct in saying it is bigger).
Its a personal preference, I have Nexus One and love the Amoled Screen, I have seen SAMOLED and SAMOLED + u wont see a lot of difference except brightness when going from Nexus One. Also OLED isnt really a mature tech yet, It needs a lot of generations to reach a perfectly good place. Has many issues right now though it looks beautiful

Hi,
I'm using 3 screen technologies right now for daily use. (yes im a gadget freak)
1.Retina - iPhone4.
2.HTC Sensation-qHD.
3.Samsung Focus-Super AMOLED.
I find the Super AMOLED quite pleasing. Vibrant colors.
Retina display is more of a DETAILED view, clarity.
qHD - big screen and good for watching movies its like a mix of both of the above but at a medium level.
Cheers.
I prefer Retina over Super Amoled.
hi everyone
I need to ask something that i was unable to find answer on internet or Google searching. I come straight to the point. It's basically a general thing about devices that i found different in aspect of screen resolution and i couldn't find difference.
There is one Android device which gives resolution of 540*960 on a 5inch LCD and there is an Android phone which gives 1080*1920 resolution on 5.1 inch LCD like S5 AND 1440*2560 resolution on 5.1 inch LCD.
I want to ask what is the difference that these resolution gives, i am currently using 540*960 resolution phone and what difference i would note by using 1080*1920 resolution? will thing appear small on it?
For example on a home screen, i have a gadget of weather, will it appear more smaller? because i didn't get the difference of resolution and their result difference.

firstly i can guess by the post that you are a noob but would like to help you change to pro so here it goes
the difference are
420*320 and below ldpi-small- 2-3inches - packed with 100 to 150 ppi screen
470*320and below IS mdpi - normal- 3 to 4.2 inches - packed with upto 200ppi
640*480and up IS hdpi- large-4.2 to 7 inches - packed with 200 to 300ppi
920x720and up IS qhdpi- extra large- more than 7 inches - packed with >300ppi
if that's unclear to you
try searching up screen support on google or api guidelines

i am sorry if i sounded noob but i was unaware of these things. I was just wondering what's the difference of resolutions when the screen size is same.
From your post what i got was, that it is basically the PPI thing, which makes screen more bright and colorful etc. so more PPI is based on more resolution or pixels.
I am currently using Huawei G610s and it has 640*480 with 220ppi. I thought that resolution is same as in case of computers, the more resolution the more smaller the pixel and picture size and more desktop area. I am currently using 1680*1050. So i thought in same context and was wondering and thought to ask.

firstly ppi refers to the pixels per inch
it in simple words is how tightly pixels are packed in a sq inch of area on the screen . the more the ppi count the smaller each pixel gets providing you with sharper and intense quality display
also if you did not search api guidelines on google
i am here to help you
here go ahead and just go through the detailed version and i think it will solve almost all of your query

Now. Don't get concerned on how you sound. We were all like that at some point. The resolution that you have probably is around 200 DPI (depending on screen size) My phone (Xperia SP) has a 4.6 inch 1024 x 720 display AKA 720p display. In person, how they look actually matters. Anything above 300ppi is crisp and extremely sharp. A Samsung galaxy s5 has a PPI of around 400. These numbers don't really matter but if you see them in person, they really look nice. Hope I helped you.

Hi all, i want to buy this phone but i have one question. Is 367 ppi enough ? Is display sharp enough ? I have read many reviews and test...., in some reviews testers say that the resolution is absolute ok....., in another that is visible difference in sharpness when they compare the screen with higher ppi. What is your opinion ?? I have no chance to see the screen in shop. I want to buy this fone, but i´m worried about this thing. Thanx for answers
The screen is very good, excellent contrast and beatiful colors, for me is ok 367 ppi

DPI <> PPI. PPI is the physical amount of pixels per inch, DPI is the amount of Dots per inch displayed by the OS.
This phone has a great display. I wouldn't worry about the relatively low PPI compared to newer phones.
I switched from a Samsung with over 440ppi and could barely notice any difference.

I have the Ascend Mate 7 from May and after seven months I am not satisfied.
However, regarding the display I must admit that the difference is unnoticeable with 400ppi or more but the problem is not the dpi. Let's view:
- The screen manufacture
I have a big halo in the center of the screen on white colors (It is getting more annoying).
I have a "light" lightbleed on blacks
I don't think that it's a true IPS because if I look it from different angles the screen colors change, especially the black colors
- The Android UI
We have 367ppi on 6" screen and the huawei stock rom is set to 480ppi, so Android will render the screen as it is a 480ppi display. Big status bar, big everything (but this is up to you, I prefer a small UI). To make matters worse for now is impossible to build a custom ROM that it is not stock-derivative (See my post here).
