Hello!
One of the reason I swapped my M9 with a G4 was because I have a not so good near sight vision, with the M9 it was sometimes a little difficult for me to read the battery percentage for example and I had to push the brightness to 100%, with the G4 I don't have this problem as I can use bigger fonts but I think it's also because of the higher contrast.
So here comes my question:
A screen with higher ppi and contrast will make text easier to read for people like me or only size of the screen matters?
For example an HTC M9+ has +100ppi and higher contrast than regular M9 but only a +0.2'' size gain compared to the +0.5'' of the G4, will it make it much easier for me to read fonts like the ones in the statusbar (like it's now with the G4), or not really?
