XML profile file of the LG P930 – The Nexus 3?

| May 19, 2011 07:52 UTC | 0 comments | source

LG P930 XML profileLG has posted an XML file of a device called the P930. We currently don’t know exactly what this is, but it could be for instance the LG manufactured Nexus 3?

In the file itself we found a few interesting facts. The device will run Android, as can be seen from the XML file:  <prf:BrowserName>Android-Webkit</prf:BrowserName>. But what is more interesting is the resolution this device will use: <prf:ScreenSize>720×1280</prf:ScreenSize>.

It is actually the combination of the above what makes this interesting. Android, 720×1280 resolution and P for phone in the product code.  Will we see a phone with a HD display? Both Toshiba and Hitachi have shown screens capable of fitting that many pixels in under 4.5-inches. Would be pretty awesome to see this device go public before the end of this year.

Screen technologies put under an industrial microscope with 201x zoom – Super AMOLED, Super LCD, LCD, IPS-LCD

Samsung Galaxy S vs LG Optimus 2X - 201x magnification

Here is an amazing tool that shows the different screen technologies in detail. The images were taken with the help of an industrial microscope at a 201x zoom.

You can clearly see how the Super AMOLED technology used by Samsung differs from the Super LCD, LCD and IPS-LCD screens. Even though the resolution and the screen size is the same, the sub-divided pixels are not. The level of details is much better on the LG Optimus 2X than what it is on the Samsung Galaxy S.

The PinTile matrix layout used by Samsung results in text being harder to read, due to straight lines being impossible to produce.

Hit View Post to use the tool in question.
