This is my next (The Verge) Review is up.

Exactly. I can't imagine how people would want the resolution increase so that they can read even tinier text on those 4.5" screens. I use autofit so that the text increases on webpages so that I can actually read it without a magnifying glass or my face 3" from the screen. ;) But I get it -- it's an uber phone and so people who buy it for that reason (read: all of us) are going to want it to have the best specs, even if it degrades performance without improving much besides reading tiny text.

And yes, for tablets increased resolution would be great. I would love for my Galaxy Tab 10.1 to have higher resolution since it would make a noticeable difference and an improvement in the user experience to an appreciable degree. Along with zippier performance (more RAM, faster processor, quad-core, etc.) that would make the Tab 10.1 a really awesome device.

Yeah, there are some people out there that want their phones to have a 'Super Ultra Mega Retina Display' at 4K resolution on a 3.5 inch screen. It's outrageous.
 
If you want to fit more browser text on the screen, go into the browser settings and change the font size to small.

Problem solved!
