Is the Nexus Screen 4.65 inches or 4.7?

[Gorilla]

Half of sites list the galaxy Nexus as having a 4.65 inch screen, the other half list it as having a 4.7 inch screen.


What is correct? and why is there a discrepancy?

Bestbuy lists it at 4.7

It's 4.65. Folks like to round up. (We've probably done it here and there, too.)

It depends if you measure from the base.

LOL....tell me that was an intentional pun

We all know you have to use the formula
((L x D) + W/G)

I could just be they rounded the 4.65" to 4.7". 0.05" isn't significant. The official measure is 4.65".

That 0.05" gives you 2 more pixels! Duh! Real question is. Is it really 1.2ghz or 1.1999ghz!?

Hardware manufacturers use an SI scale for measuring data capacity. Programmers must use a power of 2 (binary).

2^0=1
2^1=2
2^2=4
2^3=8
2^4=16
2^5=32
2^6=64
2^7=128
etc.

Therefore:
1000 Bytes = 1 kilobyte hardware
1024 Bytes = 1 kilobyte software

So no one is lying about space. 1TB is actually 1000 hardware GBs. And 1000 hardware GBs is actually around 931 software GBs.

Additionally, a true 64-bit CPU can address up to 2^64 (1.844674407 * 10^19) bytes of RAM. Roughly around 16 exebytes, or more than you'll ever need for the next few decades.

As for clock speeds, there's no discernible difference of 100,000 cycles per second in today's age. You already have 1.2 billion.

Ah, math.
