rumor: Google Nexus 5

[Eug]

This is the thing that I hate with current displays and current OSes.

Resolution ONLY determines how clear something will look. There's no inherent reason why text HAS to be too small to read at high resolutions.

Windows needs to have an option to adjust all text and icon sizes regardless of the resolution of the screen. I'd love to have a 300 dpi screen with readable text regardless of the screen size.

Apple tried to incorporate resolution independence into OS X. They failed, which is why they came up with this double/quadruple-the-pixel-density solution. They did that on iOS (iPhone 4), and then did that with OS X (Retina MacBook Pro).

Note 2 isn't Pentile.

Really? If that is true I want it even more now.

I took a look at these specs and think some tech enthusiast just wrote a wish list of whatever he would want in a phone and called it a Nexus. This thing would cost upwards of $900!

The xiaomi mi2 has identical cpu/ram minus the 5" 1080p screen and 12mp camera and costs $300 in china, some people just don't realize how cheap these fancy components cost.

I've now read it all. The squat ratio. Someone needs to make a picture quick!
