Hey people! As you know many devices with 1440p display has an option to run at 1080p resolution. Is there a similar option in Nokia 8? Will it improve battery life and performance?

No you will have the same screen with the same pixels just running at a resolution that isn't native.
Thanks for your info.

There was a massive discussion about this in the Nexus 6P forums. In the end I think the general concencous was that it wasn't worth the effort as there was no tangible gains in performance or battery life.
Some users did report better performance in games and with the snapdragon 810 many users reported the device generally felt like it was cooler to the touch.
I tried it and while under load my Nexus 6P didn't seem to get as hot but I didn't notice any battery life improvements or any performance gains.
Obviously this was a completely different device but the basic principles remain the same.
Anyway, just thought some first hand experience might be helpful.

Check out this how-to-thread in the htc10 forum to try yourself:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/how-to/mod-change-default-resolution-to-1080p-t3638543
nokia 8 (5.3inch, 1440p)
wm size - physical size: 1440x2560
wm density - physical density: 560
nokia 8 has 5 values for override density at 1440p:
small:476
standard: 560
big: 612
bigger: 666
biggest: 720
so if you override display size to 1080p they would have to be:
small:357
standard: 420
big: 459
bigger: 500
biggest: 540
so if you override display size to 720p they would have to be:
small: 238
standard: 280
big: 306
bigger: 333
biggest: 360
Thanks people. I am running on 720p right now and definitely there is increased smoothness in many apps, maybe as they are not so taxing on the processor. Will do a battery drain test for a couple of days. And definitely the display looks washed out on 720p but no so much on 1080p.
Definitely there is improvement in battery life with reduced resolution. Running at 720p.

Hello guys,
Youtube now has real Super HD Videos (4096p) !! Yes its true and if you are on a slow connection it will take hours to buffer even a single minute.
But you don't need to buffer as some screenshots have already been posted here - Check out Super HD video screenshots!
Here is a pic iam posting here from here.

Catch the full story here.
Update: Its 4096p videos not 4000p.
they still look horrible compared to a normal hd movie; they really should have increased the bitrate instead of resolution
They are improving as of late though. I like their leanback feature too. http://www.youtube.com/leanback

Yeah have youtube leanback feature is also awesome : http://www.techit.in/youtube-launched-leanback/
Not sure about having a 25' screen for the 4000p But, googles leanback feature is very cool
Nice ladies galaxys!!
next time you better invite me
It isn't 4000p. The resolution is 4096*2304 at 24fps. Therefore, it is 2304p.
Its like calling 1080p video 1920p.

the logic doesn't apply to this resolution. youtube have come out with the resolution that is not yet properly defined. but it is progressive. if u make a good search, u'll find it's defined in 4096p and not taken the logic of height..
in fact, this resolution is completely different, its not wqhd, wfhd... no it's completely something else..
This resolution is called 4K (meaning you need 4 HDTV, each 1080p to watch this ). The area is 4 times larger as the sides are 2 times larger than full HD.
Personally I think it is BS. First of all you need expensive cameras like RED ONE to record videos. Second you need 4K display which are rare and also expensive. And most importantly the quality because of compression is not great.
THIS POST IS VERY LONG, THERE ARE 4 FULL BENCHMARK RESULTS HERE
Hello Nexus 7 users of XDA!
I have spent the last 2 days looking for good benchmark tests for this powerful device, I have found 4 that really seem to test the device.
Most of these benchmarks are measured in FPS, if you do not know about FPS very well the second post will explain.
Here are the benchmarks.
GLBenchmark 2.5

Smartbench 2012
If you want me to do anymore benchmarks I will be glad to. Just tell me the name of the benchmark app, I will download it and add the results to this post.
Thanks!
Okay, this post is for if you do not know the meaning of FPS. (Frames Per Second.)
By Wikipedia FPS is, the frequency (rate) at which an imaging device produces unique consecutive images called frames.
I have made a little demonstration using Cinema 4D to show Frames Per Second.
Here is 60 FPS, very smooth. (This was the highest FPS I had gotten on the BenchMark tests.)
Here is 30 FPS, looks as smooth as 60 FPS to the human eye, but is less smooth.
Here is 15 FPS, it is still smooth enough to play a game, but has a definite jumpiness to it.
Here is 8 FPS, this is the lowest FPS I got on my BenchMark tests, and you can tell that there is quite a bit of jumpiness to this and it would be quite annoying to play a game like this.

Woops, my mistake, thats the wrong picture. Let me switch that real quick.
Fixed.
How far have you guys pushed yours? Mine's at 1.5 and going fine, don't want to go any higher because battery life suffers.

Tomorrow I will be making a video of the Nexus 7 getting bench marked. Please list some bench marking apps that I should use. So far I had 5 that will be in the video, but I want to have as many as possible for the best addition to this thread.

I put mine to 1.6 with the performance governor, and my battery life didn't suffer to bad, but I also didn't notice too much of an improvement.

So, as we all know, our beloved Optimus 4X HD can get really hot after heavy (or even light some times) usage. Being "inspired" by this guy, I wanted to investigate and find out:
-how much impact does thermal throttling have on our performance
-how much does Screen Brightness affect the thermal throttling
We have all seen the "Can not increase Screen Brightness due to high temperature" message on Stock. Did LG have a good reason for restricting us on that?
Finally, once I started doing the first runs, I noticed some really unexpected results... So, I tried to deepen even more and try to figure out if:
-the battery percentage impact the performance
The testing procedure was the following:
I kept running the Geekbench benchmark repeatedly for 30 minutes and taking note of the Multi-threaded score.
For the first set of runs I had the brightness decreased to Minimum. Then I charged the phone to 100%, left the device untouched for about 10 minutes (in order to cool down) and ran the test again with the Screen Brightness set to Maximum. Finally I did the same tests with the battery around 50%.
During the tests my Optimus 4X HD was:
-CyanogenMod 11 - Snapshot M10 (Android 4.4.4)
-No custom kernel
-Fully charged (1st go)
-Half charged (2nd go)
You can see the results on the following graph:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
You can clearly see that battery level actually has more impact on the performance than temperature.
What questions does this answer?
Yes, Optimus 4X HD does throttle(as if we didn't already know that). Yes, screen brightness does matter. Yes, the device is faster when it has more juice left.
So guys, what do you thing about all this? Does throttling matter to you? Did you get different results on a different ROM/kernel? Do you think that buying a new battery would actually improve the performance of the device?
Hey guys I just changed my display resolution to 1920x1080 with density 420
with adb without root to improve battery life.
I am happy with the results, can't tell the difference that much and hope to get more juice,
but some of the images are distorted.

Is it supposed to be like this?
and is there any way to fix this?
Thanks!
To fix, reset your resolution to stock. I don't know who came up with the idea that changing the resolution would help battery life, but while it won't hurt it won't help either. It would be like me changing the resolution of a laptop from 1600x900 to 1024x768. The images get distorted at the new resolution but all the pixels are still drawing power as needed to display the images. The display on the Nexus 6 or any smartphone for that matter is no different.
right, its just people that don't know better that keep telling others that reducing your "screen size" will improve your battery. but it will not.

Oh...well thanks for the replies! Guess I'll just switch back to 1440p then.
It totally baffles me that people buy a super-resolution phone and then play with the internals, with all the risks that tweaking carries, just to degrade the display. It's also never made sense to me that it would make any difference anyway, since the same number of pixels still have to be manipulated (as Strephon says) even if they're duplicating the same colour.
So basically I did 2 tests on my phone.
1. With high performance enabled (decreases battery life)
2. With high performance disabled.
Before each test phone was cooled down to room temp.

In both cases the results seem...low considering S888 CPU.
And by default the high performance mode is disabled...cause it eats battery like crazy
What are your results?
@user154 your result is from high performance mode?
I see u have much lower temps than I had...do u use the case included or any other case?
In the meantime could u share the screen from CPU temp/clock monitoring on idle? On the main screen you have this little horizontal button with temps and details...just click.details, go to CPU tab and take a screenshot of all 8 cores charts.
My build is: CPH2173_11_A.16
Lol these scores are so pointless like SOT discussions. You won't notice the difference between two phones with different scores no matter how large the difference.....
Hello, i know that bench doesn't show the real UX but there is a gap between the first post and the standard score of find x3 pro.

What do you mean by gap?
A significant difference between your benchmark Antutu and my results. But dont be worried. It's the same phone. take care of the heat.
