Calling our kind 'developers' is frankly an insult. We design the hardware that puts up with the mounds of crud that 'developers' churn out. The fact that these systems run at all is nothing short of a hardware miracle.

But that is one of the things you pay extra for on an expensive flagship device, to get that marginally better hardware.

You're saying you need the high end SoC to push pixels. I'm demonstrating to you that those pixels are wasted and that it is in fact you, who is the unbridled glutton.

I wholeheatedly agree with these comments, if anyhting the designers attempt to score brownie point from their bosses and this is tultimately the result.

God you're clueless. Change that to someone with 20 years experience under their belt that designs dashboard entertainment systems, many of which run, you guessed it - Android. The iMX6 SoCs I mentioned before? I'm about to do the same thing again with the iMX8 line.

I'm the sensible one saying you don't need more than midrange processing power for a low resolution screen. You do need as much power as possible on a 1440p+ screen, for the obvious reason that you'd need to be able to manipulate every pixel at a good frame rate to make the resolution worthwhile.

If the SoC is designed for high bandwidth, it's designed to run a lot more internal AND external hardware. That is why we need 4,000+ mAh hour batteries these days, because flagship devices draw that much power everywhere. We accept that as we can do THAT MUCH MORE on a big screen.
I'm also not impressed by someone who's done engineering experiments. I worked with computers back in the days when replaced components on mainboards to tweak performances on our home computers.

The thumbs are the thing to interact with the screen in landscape mode, and the other fingers hold the rest of the phone. By your logic, we would also need some huge side bezels to rest our thumbs on in upright mode.

It is getting silly, when there is like 2mm bezel people commenting like it is the worst thing ever, and company need any trick for marketing so they try to make bezel-less phones, i mean it is not the end of the world if there is a some bezel around the screen, if it serve function then why try to remove it?

AnonD-762416, 30 Dec 2018I guess you also buy graphics cards like RTX 2080's for 720... moreLet me also flip the question your way. You're asking, "why do you need a top end SoC for a 720p screen" (as an aside, I never said I wanted a 720p screen. My M9 has 1080p on 5" - that would be just fine). I'm going to ask you, why do you need such a high resolution on such a relatively small panel? Are the already indistinguishable pixels on the 320ppi screen on something like the XZ1 compact really that bothersome to you that you require 500ppi+? And don't you dare say "but muh 4k content", because a) you don't have a 4k panel, so it's already being scaled down, and b) if you can see the pixels on scaled down 4k content on a 1080p/720p panel, I'll eat a bowl of feces. 2160 x 1080 on 6.5" panel would be >370ppi. If what I'm asking for is unbridled gluttony, what would yours be?
