I would like to know if theres a different between 800x480 and 480x800 display resolution or if they are the same
anyone?...........
There's not much difference. Correct me if I'm wrong... 800x480 is portrait WVGA while 480x800 is landscape WVGA.
Seems quite the same thing to me.
I've been thinking about this for several days since the release, and I can't seem to find the error in my ways. Brothers, guide me!
Everyone is claiming that the change in resolution is made to accomodate the system buttons. However, if the width (720) is expanded to 768, would that not make the display wider and less widescreen? If the new resolution was made to include the home buttons, I would assume that the height, not width, would be expanded. Where have I gone so wrong?! :crying:
To complicate the matter, there are different types of aspect ratios. There is a pixel aspect ratio, and a display aspect ratio. DAR/PAR=SAR, the storage aspect ratio. You see, the image has is so many pixels across, and the actual screen has so many pixels across, and they don't necessarily match, which is when the actual pixels on the screen aren't square shaped.
Also, the effective aspect ratio on the screen changes, as the home screen, for example, will have the capacitive buttons visible, but during gaming or full screen video playback, the image will truly be full screen, so no buttons visible (or so I've read).

So do we know if this applies to the new Nexus phone, or is it actually just going to use something other than a 16:9 aspect ratio (1:1 pixel ratio)?
Hello,
I just got a 22" Android "Tablet" with a native Full HD (1920x1080) resolution Screen in my hands. It is a ViewSonic VSD220.
However, it seems that the device does not take full advantage of the resolution by default, it seems to interpolate up the resolution in a 1:2 ratio.
e. g. a Website with a width of approx 980Pixels takes the full screen width and it looks too much upscaled.
So anything looks too big on that large tablet - it may be good for the 10" Standard size.
Is there a way to let the Android device use its native resolution?
Hi, I'm using chromecast with my 1080p projector. Since S8+, all android with 16:9 aspect ratio filled the entire screen. Now because of new aspect ratio the image is cropped. But the source - presentation / photos/ videos is in 16:9, so there is black border around the image, looking pretty bad. Zoom is not solution, because it is decreasing quality. Is there option to crop the S8+ screen to 16:9 for screen mirroring? Thanks!
The only available options are Default, 1:1, 4:3, 16:9 and Custom.
As a result lower res videos appear tiny.
