Yeah, on screens smaller than 5" it likely was.

I remember pic related being expensive as fuck in my country, even near the end of availability

even now 1080p just seems like a waste of battery to me

>pony posting
wow I forgot that used to happen
So cringe

god, thats the worst phone iv ever had, terrible burn in and shit battery life, never again

Ironic.

So what you're saying is that it is still overkill.

Remember when a 480p screen on a smartphone looked amazing, but now looks like shit because we're used to having better?

I remember when the iPhone 4 came out, the screen looked great. Now I have a phone with lower resolution, I think, than the iPhone 4, and it doesn't bother me in my daily use. I don't need 720p.
Looking at it now, my phone's resolution is 480x800. It's fine for my use, and doesn't ever bother me.
I use a 1080p 60fps monitor for my computer use, and again it doesn't bother me. It seems like it's enough, and if I had to use it for the rest of my life, I could.

Based content poster.

It still is.

The phone I'm using right now is 480p and it doesn't bother me. I have used better, and the 480p doesn't look like shit to me. I don't use my phone all the time, for more than a few hours daily. I might when my computer dies, but that'll probably be a while.

i hated this phone
my fucking boss gave it to me used with a ghost screen
i ended up selling it to a somali for my wife's son

Lucky we have you to keep the cringe going.

>666
sasuga satan

>tfw my phone has a 1440p screen
>see absolutely no difference to a 1080p screen at the same size
We've gone too far.

No. I remember not being able to read subs on my anime at 176p though, and wishing that I had a high res display.

Forgot to add that I only play pixel graphics games and that I'm half blind from masturbating

>playing games on your phone at all

I remember when phones has actual fucking real keyboards...

I still have that version of Android
kill me

Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich was the peak of comfy

To be fair, the 2012 macbook didn't really have the specs to support the resolution. It was a mistake, just like the iPad 3

Yeah, I remember having a 128x128px phone in 2005

I miss the PPI war; we've been stuck at the same PPI for to keeping the same resolution. In fact, it's gotten lower.

At some point 256MB RAM was overkill too, what's your point OP?

lol

It still is. This cancer of "bigger screen! More pixels!" Only leads to shittier battery life and crapier waste of space application layouts - pic related

Nice cherry-picking.

That fucking phone, remember getting the vzw version and regretting it because it was locked down to just them.

a smartphone can double as a poor man's VR experience and for that even HD is far from enough

>cherry-picking
No it is trend.
More and more apps go waste of space layout way. In few more years all apps will be like that.

remember when a BBC in white pussy seemed like overkill?
Now its the norm.

Sure, buddy. It's still way better for internet browsing, clover and messaging. Maybe stop using shitty apps.

>all apps are going this way
>just stop using shitty apps lmao!
what a fucking idiot.

Internet browsing - sure. You could also get dedicated device
messaging - yes... BECAUSE MESSAGING APPS ARE GOING WASTE OF SPACE LAYOUT WAY TOO YOU FUCKING IMBECILE. you do not need big screen for messaging.

Keyboard takes up space. Large screen with high res means you can view more messages at a time. PS take your meds

You don't fucking need to see three months of messages.
Keyboard only shows up when you type - you have whole screen for mesages.
keyboard doesn't need to be in 4k.

It is idiots like you that are to blamed for half a day better lifes and fucking notches.

1080p is still overkill though
especially in the only logical range of 4.5" - 5"

b-but I see individual pixels on my shitty OLED screen

I get two days with my 1080p phone.

Oh, I do.
Believe me, I do.

1366x768 remains the perfect laptop resolution to this day.
