This is a poll.

Look for the resolution you want in the answers. If you find it, vote for it. If you don't find it, add answer writing it precisely (pixels, abbreviation, and aspect ratio)

Use the comments, try to keep this as a poll.

I think this is irrelevant question until we know when the next phone is out and what's it display size... I mean, screen resolutions have developed fast lately, and ppi has more meaning than the resolution, looking this from the usability point of view. Suggest to close as "irrelevant" and maybe open again, when it's topical issue. However, nice question, just let's get the corner's clean (there are many question already to be solved)

I think the poll is relevant to get a feeling what the community prefers as a resolution.

Shouldn't we create an option with the current 480p resolution?

Added qHD (actual Jolla resolution), iPhone 4, iPhone 5

To be honest, I don't really care about screen resolution. I have a 24 inch monitor with FullHD Resolution and find it good enough. I have no clue why my mobile with a 4 to 5 inch screen should have the same or better resolution. I think it's more a posing factor than a true need. More like "I have the biggest", "Mine is the best"...

qhd is fine, maybe 1280 by 800, but after all, it's a phone and the tablet is on its way

You cannot replace a phone with a tablet, I don't know what that has to do.

pulsar ( 2014-11-26 09:12:12 +0300 )

Did I say anything alike? No. Maybe for you in more simple words: If I would need a higher resolution, I would buy a tablet, which would allow me to use apps, which need a higher resolution to fulfil their purpose. Because I don't use such apps on my phone, QHD is absolutely sufficient. Hopefully you understood now.?
