- ThunderbuckRetired ModeratorI have an alternative theory: the theoretical "dumb screen" might be 720...

- I hope the screen gets 1080p otherwise I'll be keeping my Z10 a while longer before upgrading.
I dislike the fact that people are quick to say it's not necessary, 720 is good as it is and just right for the developers. Customers have the rights to expect anything they want out of a phone, after all they are the one paying with cash and that's how a company should progress, supply meeting demand.
The BB10 platform is very solid, one of the reason I'm sticking with it, but for the love of God let's stop saying we don't need this nor that, because that one extra feature or spec can be the tipping point for a potential consumer.
Bottom line: The more specs and features we have the better it is (not for you nor me but) for everyone.

I think the Aristo is meant to be a statement; proof that BlackBerry is really back and ready to go head-to-head with Samsung.
I saw a report that the next Galaxy Note is being produced in limited quantities, and that they're using the cutting edge Snapdragon 800 chipset. I don't think BlackBerry has to absolutely match Sammy's ambitions ("bleeding edge" tech can sometimes get in the way of overall usability), but I do think this phone needs to be aggressive.

But...I couldn't tell a difference with a 720p video to a 1080p vid with my 16 inch laptop
They look extremely the same thing.06-11-13 12:56 AMLike 0 -

What people are going to have to remember is that this is going to be a high-end device -- their flagship that will be more for showing off what they can do with the platform than putting a dent in Apple's or Samsung's market share.
Like I said in another thread, if they stay with 720p, then I hope it's the best quality 720p screen on the market when it releases06-11-13 03:01 AMLike 0 -

People should stop pretending that 1080 on a phone's screen is a waste. It isn't. Whenever you say it is, you only prove that you have never experienced a 720 and 1080 phone screen side by side. Once you do, the difference is immediately noticeable.
I remember a time when morons used to say our eyes can't tell the difference between Bluray and DVD also. Yeah, no they can.Last edited by Saiga; 06-11-13 at 06:17 AM.

For cellphones though, since you can bring them closer to your eyes, you will likely take advantage of the higher resolution.
Personally, I like the Z10 screen resolution but depending on the size of the screen on the A10, you will likely notice the dots more if the resolution is kept the same depending on how you use it.berrylah likes this.06-11-13 07:34 AMLike 1 -
It's not just the clarity of the picture. It's the brightness. Whites look whiter (not yellow as they would with less PPI), blues look bluer, greens look greener, etc. More vibrant colors. Brighter.
It's a joke if you think it doesn't make a difference.06-11-13 08:40 PMLike 0 -
All this speculation about an app from a patch that hasn't even reached beta, and a device that's still 6 months away is irrelevant.

Posted via CB1006-12-13 02:16 AMLike 0 - Im still hoping for a high resolution screen but I'm also hoping that if these specs pan out to be true (4GB of RAM) that BB has some awesome software in store to take advantage of it. Why put such good specs in a device when they don't take advantage of any crazy software, yet still skimp on the screen resolution.06-12-13 04:16 AMLike 0
- While you can see a difference between 720p and 1080p on a phone, it is rarely due to it seeming brighter as if anything the higher pixel density of the 1080p screen will tend to make the screen darker unless you pump up the brightness and reduce your battery life.06-12-13 04:19 AMLike 0

As far as your bottom line, more features does tend to be better, but the more specs comes down to what matters to you from a device and simply throwing more of them at a device is not always the answer since it can have a negative impact on other areas that people might find more important e.g. battery life or perhaps I am mistaken and that was not a much bigger source of moaning on this forum than the lack of a quad-core on the z10/q10?06-12-13 04:27 AMLike 0 - I think the Aristo is meant to be a statement; proof that BlackBerry is really back and ready to go head-to-head with Samsung.

We already know from BB that all future devices will be 720 x 1280.

People complain that there are no apps. Just makes every device a different screen resolution and watch the developers ditch making apps for it. I am already trying to struggle with three. At least the 720 and 1280 is common and BB has said to pad the left and right sides of your apps on the Z10 (768) size with blank space to make it act like 720.06-12-13 04:44 AMLike 0 - Look at the comparisons of a regular notebook and the Retina Display version of MacBook Pros. Huge difference.
It's not just the clarity of the picture. It's the brightness. Whites look whiter (not yellow as they would with less PPI), blues look bluer, greens look greener, etc. More vibrant colors. Brighter.
It's a joke if you think it doesn't make a difference.
Retina display has so many pixels you generally don't see jaggies IF the picture inherently has the same/higher resolution as the monitor. In short, it simply allows you to see bigger picture in smaller screen. However, since the size of the screen itself doesn't change, the image will appear a bit zoomed out, so it's like zooming out in a smaller dpi screen.
The whole "oooh, pretty colors" is more governed by the screen itself, not its resolution. It is indeed true that higher resolution allows more colors to be shown (or, to be more accurate, there are more pixels that can display different colors), but it doesn't have that much effect
