5.2" 1080p

[belodion]

Anyone who has used a phone with a display of about 5" will know that FullHD gives all the sharpness you could wish for in ordinary use. That coupled to a 3000mAh battery should give excellent battery life, and perhaps make life a little easier for the processor.

The battery bump and size is a good combo. It should have a respectable battery life overall.

If the battery life appears to be solid, I will run, not walk, to buy this phone!

That battery size with that screen should be a good combo

I prefer sub 5.5" displays so this is good.

I'm expecting the Honor 8 to be able to handle over a day of use.

I really hope it can. I would love that!

4k should really disappear from phone displays. It consumes so much battery life and yet you barely notice the difference from 1080p. Except in VR perhaps, but 1080p is already good and the jump to 4k isn't really worth the added battery drain.

With VR rising (Gear VR, Daydream), 4K isn't going anywhere anytime soon for flagships.

Hey, can you say anything about the scrolling issue on the Honor 8 as seen at the 7:35 mark in this video

I'm thinking about cancelling my preorder because of this

Edit: cancelled my preorder because of that issue. Slows down the speediness of moving through the UI if you have to wait for things to catch up before you can make a selection.

I think what would be a good idea on the future for VR is a 4K screen running at 1080p until VR is plugged in

On my note 7, the difference in battery life between QHD and fHD is marginal.

I do agree on battery life though, My 5x did excellent in that regard.

It shouldn't be too difficult, but the cost of a 4k panel might be a bit high when they first come out. Would be interesting to see when they come to $400ish phones.

Re: 5.2" 1080p

Power usage differences are only applicable when you are talking about native resolutions, i.e all things being equal, a 1080 screen will use less power than a QHD one. But if you take a QHD screen and down scale it to 1080, power savings is marginal.. if any.

When these tools first popped up, I played around with them with my Nexus 6 and graphics performance actually suffered a bit because the GPU had to waste cycles converting. 720p is a more natural resolution for a QHD screen as it can pair sets of four pixels (like 4K to full HD)... Even then, power usage was more or less the same.

And 720 on larger screen... They are other far better solutions to save a little power than that.

Wasn't that the point of the Sony 4k display that only used it in certain situations.... To save battery life?

To some extent... That was also down scaling from 4k to 1080, so it's a natural conversion that's easier for the GPU to handle. If Sony went from 4K to QHD (or QHD to FHD), it'd be a waste of effort.

It's all a matter of GPU cycles... The physical screen needs to push those pixels no matter what resolution, so power usage there is the same.
