The LG Q6 is advertised with a resolution of 2160 x 1080, which is interesting because it's beyond the specs of the Adreno 505 gpu according to Qualcomm but nevermind this, can you still use the screenmirror feature with the original FHD Chromecast? Does anyone know what will happen to the image, will it be cropped/squeezed or is it a no go?
Some other phones have an option to switch the resolution back to a lower one. Does this phone has the same functionality?

A regular 1080p display would be 1080 x 1920 but since the lg q6 has an 18:9 display then it's 1080 x 2160 making it fhd+ but it's still 1080p

Has anyone ever thought of trying to run the touch pro or diamond at 480 x 800 ?
Not likely, as it would be kind of blurry and ugly, considering the native resolution (i.e. how many physical pixels are actually there) is 480 x 640 in both cases.
Oh ok I was kind of thinking like for example, the 96 dpi hack for qvga screens.
i just checked my htc sensation roted resouktation and it shows that my screen 240ppi rather then what it states on htc phone
Display Type S-LCD capacitive touchscreen, 16M colors
Size 540 x 960 pixels, 4.3 inches (~256 ppi pixel density)
source from http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_sensation-3875.php
and a screen shot of showing that it is running 540*960 at 240 ppi rather then 256
i need to know if this is only happening to me or your phone have the same ppi
please reply to me anyone
beside i just wanna know i'm not really worried about the ppi thing but i want to know if this is only happening to me or other people have the same thing.
i'm using lcd resolution app from market its free and only require root.
my phone is set at the same 240 ppi

i wonder why they had to lie about the ppi thing.
HTC have not listed the dpi on this phone as 256.... GSM arena can say what ever spec they want but it doesnt mean it true. The optimum dpi for that display when its sold may be 256 or may not but either way all HTC roms are set as 240..
all that prog does is change the entry in the build prop file

in the software you can actually change the resolution but i thought lets just stick with 240 thing.
The software is telling you dpi, not ppi. A dot can consists of more than 1 pixel, and if you set the dpi so that each pixel contains more than 1 dot... it can look weird.
Changing the dpi setting can increase/decrease the font and various graphics on screen. That's why many of the 5- or 7-inch tablets, although only have WVGA resolution, display more stuff on screen than many of the WVGA phones. They simply scale up the dpi setting. Of course setting it too high on a low ppi screen will make everything looks crappy.
if i watch a 1080 p video would the desire s get all the pixels are will it only use 480p or the800p. what would be the differnce between 720 p and 1080pvid.thanks for all answers.
Sent from my MildWild for Desire using XDA
720p video resolution: 1280x720.
1080p video resolution: 1920x1080.
Desire S' screen resolution: 800x480 (horizontally).
Meaning: anything above 800x480 is a waste of pixels that you won't see, and extra load on the CPU that will need to resample it to 800x480 on the fly.
especially compared to the oneplus5t
thx

According to the gsm areana site (which is usually pretty accurate for this sort of stuff), the full spec details for each of these models are as follows:
OnePlus 6:
External Dimensions: 7.5 mm thickness (no data on length and height as of yet, until officially announced, but the screen size may give you some idea)
Screen Size: 6.28 inches, 98.4 cm2
Resolution: 1080 x 2280 pixels, 19:9 ratio (~402 ppi density)
https://www.gsmarena.com/oneplus_6-9109.php
OnePlus 5T:
Dimensions: 7.5 mm thickness
Screen Size: 6.01 inches, 93.7 cm2 (~80.0% screen-to-body ratio)
Resolution: 1080 x 2160 pixels, 18:9 ratio (~401 ppi density)
https://www.gsmarena.com/oneplus_5t-8912.php
As you can see the thickness of both phones appears to be the same, however the screen size is not. (the screen on the OnePlus 6 looks like it will be bigger than the OnePlus 5T). Though bear in mind if they're doing the whole full screen with notch thing, that doesn't necessarily mean that the external dimensions will change. So for that, we'll just have to wait and see.
If you could have the dimensions any way you wanted them though, what would you ideally be hoping they would be?

thanks, hopefully on par or smaller than the existing 5t.

Yeah, I hope they don't get too much bigger either, I think plus sized smartphones are already slightly larger than the ideal size for carrying anyway. And if they go any bigger, they might as well be full blown tablets. But smartphones with a big enough screen whilst still being able to carry them in a jeans pocket comfortably without it bulging to the extent where it either digs in or just looks like I'm just pleased to see ya, is ideally the way I prefer them to be.
I noticed on my new phone it comes with the resolution defaulted to 2280 x 1080 (FHD+) but it can be set to WQHD+ (3040 x 1440). My understanding is you use a bit less battery when using a lower resolution.
So if I'm not playing games, or watching 4K videos, is there really any reason to use the WQHD+ resolution? When I switch between the two, the fonts, icons, and apps have no noticeable difference in appearance. This is understandable when you consider many of us are watching TV and Movies in 1080P FHD and 4K UHD on a 60+ inch TV from across the room. Packing that same resolution into a 6-6.7" screen, even when viewing close up the PPI is so dense, even the lower 2280 x 1080 resolution looks beautiful with no discernable difference compared to 3040 x 1440. Even if you were to watch a 4K YouTube Video, on that small of a screen, I doubt there's any significant difference to watching it in 1080P. You definitely can see a difference on a 60" TV from 10-feet away.
I would also think in some cases on some phones maybe even gamers WANT to use the lower resolution to get faster frame rates for their games?
So I got to thinking further, is the WQHD+ resolution really in all practicality amounting to more of a marketing benefit to be able to advertise a spec that is equal to or better than competing model phones? Sort of like how for several years we got into the "Megapixel Race" on digital cameras only to come to realize more is not always better (higher megapixels on many cameras just introduced more noise given the same sensor size.)
Maybe the fact the manufacturer (Samsung), ships the phone defaulted to FHD+ instead of WQHD+ sort of answers my question right there?
