Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"We need a digital camera that can be switched on and fire off that first shot fast. It's not a commonly tracked statistic on any review site, and nobody seems to have this information for every camera. We were hoping other readers could inform us as to what small digital cameras can fire off their first pics in under a second (ideally under half a second). It needs to be small, but mostly, just really quick in operation. Thanks!"
"AMOLED 1280 x 720 WXGA display" Is this a phone or a damn computer? I can't imagine that on a measly 3.8in screen.
@prewreckless
seriously. That resolution can't be right... you're eyes would bleed.. no?
@tylersmyler
1280x720 in 3.8" screen == some serious pixel density, this thing is going to be pin sharp.
1600x1050 in a 4.3" anyone??
@prewreckless That seems like they made the worst decision possible. Can anyone tell the difference and doesn't running a much higher resolution require more power?
@tylersmyler Considering these are flagship launch phones Microsoft are probably working closely with the companies and will have tailored the UI to work with the resolution. All UI elements and fonts will be big enough to be easily readable, so the only difference you'll see is the much improved sharpness
@Air2ground
Depends on the screen type, processor and what apps running
@prewreckless I don't know how much of a difference you would notice, but that would be freaking awesome! More pixels than a netbook FFS.
@prewreckless
I'm still waiting for a good 10" netbook to be sold in the US with that resolution.
Personally at a phone screen size WVGA is perfect and doesn't need as much power draining processor behind it.
@prewreckless
"Is this a phone or a damn computer?"
What's the difference?
@Syphon Filter
i'll take a 5" with 1920 by 1200 thank u
@tylersmyler
Why would your eyes bleed? It's the font SIZE that matters. The fonts be the same physical height/width and would just take up more pixels. The resolution of the world is a billion dots per inch .. and I dont see you complaining.
Don't automatically assume that the text and font size will be tiny because the resolution is high.
@Air2ground
I would tell the difference .. by holding the phone closer, I'd be able to read zoomed out web pages without having to side scroll. That's useful at times.
You must have really shitty vision btw, cause I can easily see the pixel squares on my iPhone ..even from 2 feet away.
@Air2ground
Power consumption is not increased much by the number of pixels. The main thing that uses up power in an LCD is the backlight which is the same size regardless of resolution. The energy used by the pixels themselves is minimal and may actually be reduced since the size of the pixel itself is smaller (less resistance).
@prewreckless It's about ~386 DPI
3.8" Display is ~3.312" by ~1.863" so 1280/3.312=~386.5 DPI
it's exactly 386.474942 DPI

@Air2ground
Hi-res is always better , they always can make icons/fonts bigger with more pixels.... so i don't see the down size .... except for the fact it will need more GPU/CPU power.
