Can you see the difference over 300ppi?

over 300ppi is mainly an asset when you're looking at a smaller portion of your screen than the whole screen. I like having full quality images even when the thing I'm looking at is muffled into a small corner.

FHD is far from useless to me; I consider it the most important thing, after maybe at least a 10.000 antutu score or equivalent on other benchmarks. It really takes a lot to make me pick 720p again. Only the ZTE Geek'3 30.000 on antutu made me consider it.

I'd love to put the test to you. 2 different 4.7" (312) or 5.0" (294) phones with the same 1080p image. One at 720p, one at 1080p. View it from 9" and tell me which is the 1080p phone. You think you could do it?

BTW, there's now a PPI calculator in the sidebar at Gizbeat if anyone should need it.

Believe me, I want to be convinced that 1080p is useless so I can just get myself a ZTE Geek and rest assured that both performance wise and screen wise the phone is practically the best on the market despite its relatively low cost. But I'm not currently there.

I'll ask my dad to let me look at his 720p Cubot GT99 phone again... Will let you know what I think.

Oh by the way, I can actually create exactly the test you describe by putting random 720p and 1080p versions of a picture in a folder, clicking one blindly and displaying it on my phone. Will let you know if I guess right.
