iPhone

sort of...

iphone4 has almost twice the pixel density (960x640 vs 640x360).
backlit sensor is in reference to a back illuminated sensor design, which is pretty recent. It was developed by sony and means that the electronic read of the light reaching the silicon of the sensor is on the back of the sensor rather than the front. I think there's only a very few phones that have this... not sure if nokia is one of them.
and noise suppression mic?

Either way this will be the device that finally puts my poor old 2g model out of service.

from engadget hands-on:


"the screen is truly outrageous -- you basically cannot see pixels on it. We're not being hyperbolic when we say it's easily the best looking mobile phone screen we've ever laid eyes on."

interesting how they have gone back to the square edges.

pretty serious screen thats for sure.

You can see pixels on the animated part. look at the large picture on that site and look at the little camera thingy at the bottom of the screen. BUT the picture is clear as fuck

I'm interested to see how the apple "retina display" technology compares to the samsung AMOLED technology, which is already pretty amazing..

my phone runs the AMOLED system, I have compared mine and niccis phone back to back and they are the same components and software, she has a samsung icon HD.

nokia have had noise cancelling mics since around 98,

it does definately look like a good phone thats for sure, but dont think the features are new and only restricted to apple.

I dunno dude if you're phones the n97 I'm pretty sure that runs regular 3.5 tft lcd screen - the icon hd is 3.7 inch and amoled is pretty much proprietary for samsung phones - although I think htc has something similar...

One thing I'm glad they're doing is taking it easy with pixel density on the camera - a lot of people don't realize it but when you have a tiny sensor in a camera phone, the more megapixels you put in it, the less light each pixel can gather - meaning past a certain point image quality actually decreases.

alot of interesting points here i tend to agree with


and epic lol


have you ever had a decent look at other phones specs?


also compare it to how big of an image it takes, no point taking a better quality image thats half the size




ie iphone four is 960 x 640
n97 is 2592x1944

also iphone 4 can only video call over wifi, which is stupid.

[driftke70]

just thought id point out that it cant be jail broke,
which you have to admit, alot of people wouldnt have owned an iphone if it wasnt able to be broken.
and dont just say thats so they can multi task and os4 has multi task.

its strange how apple can market old technology 5mp cameras have been in phones for ages and other shit

and then everyone claps as if its some huge advancement
