Is 4.3" to 4.7" that noticeable for e-reading?

Is 4.3" to 4.7" that noticeable for e-reading? - HTC Sensation XL

Like the title says, a question to XL owners that had a 4.3" phone.
In Youtube videos I see that browsing gets a little more pleasent. What about e-reading? Do you feel more confortable? Do you notice more text on a single page?
Comparison with images would me much appreciated

OH yes!, i just went from the x10 to the xl, and my grand mother bought the arc s, while i bought the xl, and going from hers to mine all day setting them up etc, the difference is acctualy VERY noticable

[Q] from GS2 to this phone

Hi guys i had a Galaxy S2 but i made a bad decision and changed for a motorola photon and some cash. Now i really really hate this motorola with its pentile screen, i hate this phone every time i need to check it to answer a call or read a fb update.
I want to buy this HTC vivid phone cause it is kind of cheap on my country (cheaper than GS2) . I don't have money for a GS3 or a HTC one x cause both cost around 800 USD here .
Basically what i loved of my S2 was the amoled screen and the easy root process cause i need proxy droid to get wireless conection on my job.
So i'm just looking this features on the vivid. am i going to find them?
Thanks in advance

Edit: i know that HTC vivid does not have AMOLED screen, i´m talking about screen quality. am i going to find a similar quality of pictures and video? I don't want another crap screen like the motorola pentile :'( .
Thank you so much guys

Z....Note 2?

hey
i wanna choose between xperia z and note II
my main points are :
1-screen :
>resolution: 1920x1080 and 440 PPI for xperia z vs 720x1280 and 267 PPI for note 2.....i know that z is way better here but i heared many reviews saying that the difference isnt noticable by naked eye(i wont go watching with microscope lol) so is that true?(in brief Full HD vs HD)
>saturation in Amoled display in note 2 vs reality in tft display in Xperia z...for me i prefer saturated colours
2-Battery:3100 for note 2 vs 2330 for xperia z....i know note 2 is much bigger...but we have bigger display too...so does it last more than xperia z?
3-Camera :thats really important 4 me....i know that xperia z is 13mp while note 2 is 8 mp...but can ppl who used both phones tell us about that?
4-processor: slightly different i think
5-design:actually...i like both devices....but i hate hearing about Xperia z glass cracks...i saw many pics and threads about that..i dont care about water resistant as i live in adry country NO RAINS AT ALL lol
6-sound: i want 2 hear my incomming calls while iam walking in a busy street
now...lets here ur opinions thanks in advance
note :came here to say that i have to decide myself or like that...i just want to hear opinions ok as iam going to get it from another country

1. It is true and not true at the same time. It depends on your eyes and the content you're viewing. For me - the difference is easily noticable, especially when viewing FullHD content. Sony says their "Reality Display" is so crisp you feel like you're there - and believe me, with proper content that is actually true. Another XZ advantage is the fact that it uses full RGB matrix, while Note's AMOLED display used some kind of pen-octa-whatever pixel arrangement which makes it grainy when compared to XZ display. They're both great, the difference in resolution is not that huge - but there is a difference after all. Regarding colours - no LCD display can come even close to AMOLED in terms of colour saturation - is that a bad thing - that's personal, everyone prefers something different.
2. It depends on the rom. If you're going to use touchwiz on Note 2, it's battery will last longer than XZ. It is, however, slightly disappointing as my Note 2 never got more than 8-9 hours of screen time ( advertised 11-12 hours ), and battery life on CM didn't even come close to that. On XZ you'll get 4-5 hours of screen time tops due to different display technology and cpu.
3. XZ camera is by far superior - there's really no place for any kind of discussion here. It's true, some shots made with XZ are "grainy" due to high compression, but they're still much better than what Note 2 can produce. It has nothing to do with the amount of MPs though, just better sensor and software.
4. Qualcomm CPUs are way better than Exynos in terms of performance and stability. There are no security bugs ( at least none that we know about ) that plague whole generations of phones like it happened with S2, S3, Note 1 and Note 2. Also, XZ's processor is quite a bit faster than what you'll find in Note 2 - but don't expect some huge performance gains.
5. Build quality - no comparison here mate. Sorry for that, but Note 2's build quality is cr..p, honestly it's disgusting - the phone squeeks when you squeeze it, the cover bends under your finger, the "chrome" border cracks leaving white plastic underneath visible. Regarding glass cracking - well, if you drop your phone, it might crack - it's the same for every phone with glass display or back - Note 2 will crack too if you drop it.
6. I didn't notice any problems with sound. The loudspeaker is not that loud due to waterproofing, but it's not bad at all. Some people reported problems with call volumes - but there's a simple remedy for that - turn off the voice call equalizer in the setting.
Note that those are my personal opinions. I'd recommend you to buy XZ as a former Note 1 and Note 2 owner. I wasn't happy with the experience i got with Note 2 ( i really loved Note 1 ) and I have to admit that XZ server my 'phablet' needs much better.

thanks that rly helped

my main point that will make me not buy the xperia z is the cracks..........it heats due to playing games or so..thats normal but i heared that if u put it on ur dest which will be quite cold the glass might crack..........also if i dropped it....plastic is cheap to be replaced unlike xperia z glass...what u think?

I'm sorry but those claims are bull**** or early defective batches, please don't believe those, there is lots of happy people with this phone that haven't had a problem. It's a well built phone. There is someone that even did oc in a piece of ice to keep it cool. If normal glass doesn't crack like that how is tempered glass going to.

Here's my experience...I have/had both
1. Yes. I am not a super picky bird-eye person. When I tried to see a 720p movie and 1080p movie on both devices with such the small screens, honestly I couldn't tell the differences.We are not talking about 40 inches screen...However, you do will feel the screen on Note II is way bigger than the Z because Note II is true 5.5 inches. But the Z is 5 inches with a bottom 0.3 inches of area as the soft keys (back. home, and small app). That makes the Z's displayable screen even smaller. I really miss my Note II's bigger screen.
2. The battery life on both are similar. I used them for normal web browsing, music, email, texting, not much talking on the phone tho. The battery can last til around 9-10pm with a overnite full charge. Bottom line the Note II can change battery that creates a huge advantage.
3. Camera on Z is noticably better than Note II. However the startup time takes a few seconds (more than 3 sec usually) to load the camera app. Note II only needs less than 2 sec. So if you are the type of guys who needs to capture the quick moment all the time, the Z might disappointed you.
4. The Z is a bit faster running and launching the apps comparing to Note II.
5. It all comes down to personal taste. I don't like round corner too much and that's the major reason I am using the Z now. Also one note that with my asian small hand, I could hardly only use one hand to unlock my phone on the Note II, but Z is ok. I have numeric lock on my phone and that's my company email's policy. So if you have smaller hand and need to use numeric pin to unlock the phone, Z is easier.
6. Note II is better.
One side note though, the major reason I switched from Note II to Z is because my Note II died after 2 months of usage...I thought I hit the sudden death syndrome but actually when I took it to the services centre the guy told me the screen was dead. I got it fixed and sold it right away.
Happy hunting!

Please note that the camera app from the XZ only starts up slow the first time you run it.
So if you plan to use your camera run it before hand. After that when you run it, it opens within a second.
If you reboot your phone you will need to do this step again.

1. 1080p vs 720p....noticeable but not really a game changer
2. the note 2 has 5-6 hours screen-on with everything on dont even compare it to the xperia z because XZ will not last half as long. (yes i know depending on usage)
3. MP is not really important, go research on this. IMO Note 2 will win because XZ got too much processing, and I understand why XZ do this, they want the file to be small in order to upload it to FB quicker.
4. in benchmark its a world of difference, in real world use not much
5.XZ win hands down...the rarity of the device in the U.S market is another reason why i pick the phone
6. sound. you can hear it after you flash puremod, I havent test stock so not sure but i'm sure you can.

You cant even compare this two devices..
Its like comparing an m3 e92 with a simple a5 or something..
M3 is the z
Send from my awesome 1080p

Future HTC ONE User Question

Hello people!
The upcoming Friday my contract with my cell company expires so the company in order to convince me to sign a new contract is offering me:
HTC One or Sony XPERIA Z1.
Beeing for 5 years a user of various HTC devices I was pretty happy appart my latest HTC ONE X that spend last summer around 2 months in service changing twice mainboard and battery on warranty.
This last experience made me a bit skeptical about going along with the latest HTC device.
Are you happy with your HTC ONE?
Any significant problems you encountered?
Is the camera as bad on daylight as I read in the various reviews?
Do you think I should go with the ONE or maybe try something new with the Z1?
Thanks in advance for your help and feedback.
Cheers!

Z1. Without a doubt. Use the heck out of it for the 14 days so that you can return it if you don't like it though.
The One has a terrible camera. The Z1 doesn't have OIS, but it's better in almost every other regard unless you're a AL-phile or need stereo sound.
Seriously. There is absolutely no comparison between the One and the Z1. They are two different generations of phone and should be treated as such.
I don't like my One. It's not what it was advertised to be, and I wouldn't recommend anybody buy the H1 in light of recent phone announcements like the Z1 and the N1 and the N3 and the N5 and the G2 and the (?)S5. Wow. Those names doe.

I am not a great pictures fan.
To tell the truth I usually post some in facebook or Instagram but thats just about it.
I was pretty happy with my HTC ONE X camera but I guess the HTC ONE camera is worse from what you are saying.....
I kind of lost you with the AL acronym.
Can you explain what you mean by AL?

Al = Aluminum. And what Justin^^^ said is true. Suddenly, anything not made out of the finest materials feels cheap to me. In terms of premium feel, nothing can beat the One. It strikes all the right chords, and fits just right. And I do a lot of gaming on the One, and I actually DO see some lag, and its noticeable.
I maintain my position on the camera though. If you're looking for a camera that can capture any detail beyond the "with so and so at so and so", look elsewhere. But for just social media, this camera is fine. It won't perform in low light unless you get a perfect unit (unlikely), so don't count on that.
The Z1 has tons of cool stuff like SD, waterproof, dustproof, snapdragon 800, 20.7 MP camera, 3000 mAh battery etc. It comes down to this: do you want a premium feeling phone that performs adequately, or do you want a beast of a phone that looks and feels only slightly worse.
AL = Aluminum, H1 = HTC One, Z1 = Sony Xperia Z1, N1 = Oppo N1, N3 = Samsung Galaxy Note 3, N5 = Nexus 5, G2 = LG G2, S5 = Samsung Galaxy S5.

@ Op
Here small comparison just for you between the two
Soc = Xperia z1
Screen quality = HTC One
Sound via headphones = HTC One
Sound loudness & quality via speaker(s)= HTC - here is definetelly no comparison dual stereo speakers vs mono low quality/loudness speaker ..
Build quality = HTC One .. glass simply isn't better then aluminum
Front facing camera = HTC One
Rear facing camera = i don't know what to say here z1 with current firmware trully sux but i know it'll get better later so i'd say z1
Battery life = HTC One ..
Software = HTC One - The software is miles ahead of z1 and better optimised it's lagg/stutter free
Overall issues with the device are far less then with z1 , with 1 you can only get purple tint camera while z1 has issues pretty much with everything
As for the camera @ Op take a look at this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46539474&postcount=2955
HTC One - camera samples thread -- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2169626&page=296
Xperia z1 - camera samples thread -- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2438859&page=43
Here the whole thread with bunch of photos so take a look a bit before you decide , take a look at z1 samples as well
That's pretty much how the camera works , if this isn't good enough for you and camera is priority for you got with z1
Lastly if you need any more insights about HTC One feel free to PM me i'd be happy to tell you more about it and give you more samples from my own camera if needed from any scenario also answer every question you got about HTC One.

Closed
There is a sticky thread on top of this forum that reads "read before posting here". If you did, you would have noticed that we don't allow any comparison threads here for the reasons mentioned there.
So if you have a SPECIFIC question about a SPECIFIC difference between two phones, feel free to start a new thread with it. But please no general "Is the phone good and why?" or "Is the phone better than...."

Samsung Tab S 8.4 vs Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Video Review (LTE versions)

Hi
My slightly disjointed and somewhat long winded(!) video review of Xperia Z3TC vs Samsung Tab S 8.4 (both the LTE variants).
Might assist folks who cannot decide between these devices.
Will end up here when the upload completes: http://youtu.be/CMKonSEd7zc
Nigel

First 30 seconds pointless.
Image quality judged without information about amoled mode.
You should rotate video ....

Trying to explain specs of each initially. Not sure why that is pointless. To be honest video quality not high enough to judge screen quality anyway. Its a rather long winded video, first attempt, and simply zero time to edit it. It is what it is! Hit fast forward!

First 30 seconds = silence, you moving and some noises - this is pointless.

Looks like upload wrong. Plays right way up on my PC will fix next week

Nice one, wife has been back and forth over which one to get, leaning toward Z3 but this has tipped the scale fully. Personally I'd wait 'til ~March but she needs one now! It wasn't long winded, it was detailed and picked out some key points for anyone looking to buy. Also, as you rightly say, no point in going into more detail on the screen qual - you can't see it on a compressed YT vid and chances are the screen it's viewed on wouldn't express it even if you could!
FWIW, I'd edit the YT title to "Z3 Compact Tablet" instead of Z3TC so it's found more easily - I was looking for comparison vids the other day and didn't find yours.
Nice to know old skool PPC users are still around on here

Dont buy the tab s 10.5, the display is very cold and wide .
Buy only for video and games .

S10 vs S10e, is the difference in PPI really noticeable?

Hello guys. I really don't know which one to pick this year, the S10 or S10E. My main concern is the display, S10E has about 440 PPI (since its FHD), while the S10 display has 550 (WQHD). Do you guys think our eye can actually notice the difference while, for example, watching some high definition videos, or even just surfing? I really like the 10e concept (no edge screen which i hate) but I'm actually worried I'd miss a little quality on the screen. I read some articles about the way the human eye actually notices the difference in PPI but I'm curious about your opinions. Thanks!

No, you cannot tell the difference. So much so that all Samsung devices come set to 1080 out of the box. If you want full res, you have to go change it

FWIW, I went from the Galaxy S9 to the Pixel 3 which is a pretty similar comparison in PPI. I could tell the difference. Reading text in particular. I am VERY nearsighted, however, with outstanding "near" reading vision. I think this will depend on the person.

Sorry I have a question for you... when you say reading text, you mean reading like pdf or just normal chrome browsing? I'd like to try as well to see where I could notice the difference. Thanks!

Mostly "normal" mobile text like Twitter, text messaging, emails, etc. Text just looks slightly more jagged on the Pixel 3 for me.

I tried but even if i have a far from perfect eyesight, I couldnt really tell the difference.
Any other opinions guys?

You won't be able to tell.
I have a Note8 that I run at the 1440p WQHD resolution.
If I move it down to the 1080p, the text becomes slightly "thicker", but after a few minutes of using it you cannot tell a difference.
If you move it to the 720p, it is noticeable and very, very "chunky" and you will continue to notice it.
However, this is because the display is optimized for the 1080p but runs the 1440p very well, too.
I am buying an S10e because you will not be able to tell the difference on the device. I went to Best Buy and inspected the S10e here -- it looks GREAT and all fears are done away with.
Samsung is simply reducing the "waste" of the 1440p to make the phone less expensive and more compact.
Honestly, I am fine with it.
The iPhone XR is something like 720p and it looks far worse than the iPhone XS, but the S10e is back up on par with all of the latest Samsung models.

had a look at some demo units yesterday and i noticed a little difference. the s10/+ where on full resolution compared to the s10e i was able to see a difference in text like stated before. but i had to look very closly.
i would say i you use the phone for video consumption most of the time i would advise for the bigger and better screen. but on the other hand the smaller 1080 screen of the s10e should be better on the battery too.
i preorderd the standard s10. from what i saw yesterday i really like what they did with the s10e alle the important specs. but again the s10+ would be the best screen for 4k hdr video consumption imho. im still a litte torn between the models

Hello guys. I really don't know which one to pick this year, the S10 or S10E. My main concern is the display, S10E has about 440 PPI (since its FHD), while the S10 display has 550 (WQHD). Do you guys think our eye can actually notice the difference while, for example, watching some high definition videos, or even just surfing? I really like the 10e concept (no edge screen which i hate) but I'm actually worried I'd miss a little quality on the screen. I read some articles about the way the human eye actually notices the difference in PPI but I'm curious about your opinions. Thanks!

If you are wanting to get into VR, you will ABSOLUTELY 100% see a difference. 1440p on my s8 seems a slightly pixelated in VR. Which I will say that samsung vr is by far the best vr experience on the mobile market.
Other than that, couldnt tell the difference between 1080 and 1440 on my s8.

I think in all the latest phones you can spot ppi differences if you are a hawk.

I was happy with the 1080p screen on my OP6T so I'm confident the display on my S10E will be awesome.

I picked S10e and the main reason was the size, where S10 is a bit taller. The screen should be pretty fine. I don't think users will be able to see the PPI difference. If iPhone Xr users are buying this phone which has 326 PPI, then S10e is much better

I really leaned towards the S10e for nothing else but the flat screen. I eventually decided on the S10 though. The S10+ is approaching the size of a tablet and I couldn't handle that.

I did like and want a flat screen phone for some time. In the pictures S10e looks pretty good and the design language a bit different from S8/9. Regardless, I am sure any of S10 would be good as it is 10th anniversary for Samsung and they can't afford to fail its customers!

The bigger screens are probably better if you watch a ton of video, but I don't like watching videos on my phone.
All I can say is this -- your S10e screen will be better than my Note8 display (which is great at 1440p) and since you have a screen that is literally as good as it can get at 1080p, you won't notice. You will never tell the slightest difference.
I could not really tell at Best Buy, but I think both models (S10+ and S10e I had side by side) were both on 1080p software setting. However, they both looked GREAT and no "Chunky" text like when I set my Note8 to 720p.
It will also mean that 3100 mah battery will go a long way.
