@sesukaku

I noticed that also although some will no doubt say it kills the battery and isn't necessary although i would like to know why no new processor chips and graphics in the W960 just the same as the P1 which is really getting old now and the W960 doesn't get HSDPA either which i find even more odd as some of the others do. So close but no cigar from me I'm afraid.

I dont think the difference between 256k and 16m is that great to the human eye, especially on a small screen. My k800i screen looks perfect to me, any improvement over that is fine for me.

Does sesakuku have to go around making new threads about every little downside to SE's new phones? lol...

according to some researches i've done, a human eye could discern up to 6 millions of colours only, so any color depth higher than that could never been discernable. AFAIK color depths typically increases brightness thats the reason why nokia's 16m displays are very vibrant, although K800's display has proven it's excellent vibrance even in 262K colors. (see mobile-review's S40 vs A100 test)

yes i agree that 16M colors drinks battery juice faster than 262K. don't we wonder why SAMSUNG one of the leading manufacturers of LCD display(aside from sony, LG and sharp) has only limited it
the phones display to 262K? though they can prove that it's already perfect for such viewing pleasure. nokia was the only on why tries to overthrow them but imho they can't

@bhav and roogenial


Oh please be serious at least claim it is more intensive on battery life or it's pixelated something at least half believable. If it is no better why would any one bother producing them, i suppose by the same token HD TV is a waste as well we should all have 262k colour big TVs then.

Do you just post without actually thinking what you are saying and just how absurd a remark you are making, as long as it justifies any missing spec from SE . An explanation as to why it is no good, or not needed, really just how dumb do you think some of us actually are.


@Razec

Have you seen and used any 16m colour screens? because i know own 2 and i can tell you quite simply they are better and i don't really care how or why as that is of no importance to me. All i know is that it means i get a better viewing experience for Web, Films & Video and every other thing i look at. Also it is rubbish about them killing battery life as the E61 has the best battery life of virtually any smart phone.

The quality difference is very small. As in seriously damn small. That you actually care is pretty sad.

well, i think it does not make that much different because the K850 screen size is so darn small.

May b they will eventually, though at the moment, no se has got as big as e61i in term of screen

It's their limitation, but simply quality talks over quantity

Listen i didn't go out of my way to find a 16m colour screen i was more than happy with my N93 screen. I also used to think it can't make much difference as BoBa was always going on about it. But since having one i have found it does make a difference, is all that i am saying even if it's only a little better the fact is it's better why not get the best if you can while settle for less. If any one is sad it's you trying to deny the obvious for what reason i have no idea other than SE doesn't have them so it must not be needed or is rubbish perverse logic or what.

Actually I do notice the difference quite easily, especially when it comes to the black-gray gradients.

Two reasons:

1. 16M colors make the battery life shorter.

2. The human eye cannot see the difference between 256k and 16M.

Yes, but how often do you get to see something on a small phone like that that will require to show enough gradient shades to be obvious? 320x240 in a 2.2 inch space is not much.

Maybe if it were a large 1920x1200 screen and you were editing a black & white picture of a sun set with no clouds, then sure, it'll be obvious. Until then I don't think so.
