News - HTC to release a 1080p... something, benchmarks impress

[HEXUS]

Something is 20 per cent faster than the GALAXY S III with 1080p screen, but what?

Read more.

Now this sounds interesting

[mark22]

We need some galaxy note 2 benchmarks leaked to compare. That's supposed to be a fast dual core and has a powerful gpu.

7" 1080p display...Wow, that'll be useful! :-/

Yeah about as useful as 10" with 2048-by-1536 ya think?

[miniyazz]

Probably more useful than a 10" netbook with 1024x600..

[Biscuit]

if this comes out... anyone want a nexus 7?

Artfully put.

And I've got a 720p 4.8" display - and it IS useful - so by similar reasoning a 7" 1080P display could be a treat for the eyes.

[dangel]

Yup, agree - high dpi displays are great love 'em.

I doubt very much this new HTC device will be £199.00

Oh i know, but il still want one and it will mostly render my Nexus pointless

I have to say, I recently made the plunge and swapped my 768p device for a 1536p one (you know the one!), it's fatter, heavier, less comfortable to hold and the glass is stupidly far from the display, however, the screen is more impressive than I expected. Eye strain still isn't on Kindle level but not being dizzied by sub-pixel glittering is a big step - which is needed as Kindle still isn't responsive/suitable for some documentation/web documentation.

The author should be careful when referring to the htc one x ... as the international model uses a quad core nv tegra 3 chip, it's only the usa 4g version that has the 8960 in it due to the lack of 4g support by tegra 3.
Though benchmarks have shown the dual a15 core trounces the quad a9 most of the time.

The adreno series usually looks great on paper but then benchmarks really poorly perhaps this unknown device runs android 4.1 and that solves the lack of real performance.

Also since when does a bench at 1794x1080 mean it has a 1920x1080 screen ? it could have a 1794x1080 screen for all the author. Which is almost 16:10

Hmm, this is interesting.
