Z30 vs Z10 Screen; and it's competition. Does PPI matter?
So just upgraded my 4.2 inch Z10 to my sexy new 5 inch Z30! Love everything about it so far, build quality,big screen, amazing speakers,and great battery life are the first things I've notice regularly, and loving it!
However...the other thing thats hard to ignore is the screen clarity and brightness. My Z10 clearly has the better resolution and clarity.
Obviously we all know that the Z30 has 1280x720 resolution at 295 ppi, where as the Z10 has 1280x768, at 356 ppi. I've had them side by side, and it's absolutely noticeable!
My Z10 at 75% brightness is the same as my Z30 at 100%. Is it JUST the brightness that I'm noticing, I feel the letters appear "crisper" with the Z10?
So why is this the case? I'm sure their is some reasoning behind it? Absolutely love my Z30; but was a little spoiled with how sexy the Z10 Screen was! Anyone else feel a little disappointed with the lower resolution n ppi or am I just being a little over the top?
Just looking at the competition, and 350-450 seems to be the norm amongst the elite high end devices but does it even matter?

According to ppi.com "The human eye cannot distinguish the difference in PPI when the figure reaches a saturation point of about 250ppi to 300ppi at the most. So 300 ppi phones have the optimum resolution for mobile smart phones, having a ppi of more than 300ppi will not make any difference to normal human eye vision, you will need a magnifying glass to see the subtle differences".
Would like to hear some observations and opinions ; PS, my Z30 rocks!
