@@rambot670 You can change the resolution on Samsung phones, but the less than native resolution looks much less sharp due to interpolation. So I stay pretty much all the time in 1440p on my S9.
@@rambot670 No that simply due to the ratio between your virtual resolution vs your native resolution. For example 720p is roughly 45% of 1080p, and to switch between resolution without any interpolation your need a perfect 25% so you can use 4 real pixels for 1 virtual pixel. 1080p on a 4K display works, 720p on a 1440p works too. In between you add blur due to interpolation.
Yellow Snow, to be fair, I can’t tell the difference between 720p,1080p,1440p on smartphones, there’s only a tangible difference on things like tablets and things with lager screens so imo I share that 2013 opinion
Wow, just on year ago the highest resolution was 1920x1080. Now look, a year later, Oppo Find 7, 5 inch screen, 2560x1440!!!!!! That is technology advancing!
Haha. Its 2017 and the smaller 4.7" iphone still doesnt have a 1080p screen. I dont care how good their 750p screen looks, the phone is $650 put a damn full hd screen on it. Anyways, today is the apple event, lets see if they finally use 1080p on all their iphones
Marques, I got to tell you, I found your reviews both informative and entertaining you really do a better job then the professionals. You really have a gift in web casting!
Dilip Tien 2k is closer to 1440p than 1080p. But yeah, this is a pet peeve of mine now, people calling 1440p 2k. 2k is less than 1440p. Quad HD is a more accurate description. This was almost a year ago and I didn't know there was a difference yet.
I love my HTC One. I almost went with an iPhone 5 just because I've wanted to try something new from Android, but this phone took my by complete surprise. I love everything about it. Thank you for the amazing review. I agree with you on justifying the beauty of 1080 px displays. It's seriously stunning.
Apple likes to pretend they're always on the leading edge so they use terms like "retina" instead of the actual dimensions if the display. Don't get me wrong tho the iPhone has a decent pixel density but its not outs this world.

***** Well, Apple is on the leading edge in many aspects, after all, the original iPhone was the most leading edge phone ever made. Just look at the smartphones before the iPhone, and now look at all the Apple copiers now with touchscreen smartphones.
Marques..I watched your video waiting for you give some props to the Optimus G Pro. This is one WicKed piece of hardware..and you did include it.. I'm shocked...I Love it and If my mind is true you stated it was a good phone with a great screen..1080P! where is the love bro..
my favorite part about the htc one is the most overlooked. if you drop it on the corner, it hits metal instead of glass. you ding the aluminum, instead of shattering the display. a good feature if you're rough on phones.
The moment you mentioned 720 wasnt good, that really made my choice still im using a very good phone the HTC one mini and i did move from an iOS struggling to see why android be a better move! experiencing the HTC one mini was so amazing im now offically blown away with its design and software... now i wished i stopped before i selecting the one i have now looking to get the one that i can be happy with for years. thanks for the video.
just got my HTC One in black after previously having a silver one...the only time i've ever swapped the handset just based on colour after being stupidly impressed by performance. well done HTC...well done!
My number one 1080p: Lenovo K900. I have compared it with HTC one and Nexus 5., Nothing comes closer. You see real colours and clarity is unmatched! Review it!
You earned some respect from me there. Glad you pointed out that people dont need this kind of displays. Even a 720p display on any phone no matter how big the phone is going to look great. Also, you obviously know your stuff on the HTC. More megapixels does not mean a better camera. Note to everyone: Less megapixels equals more light per pixel which equals better low light performance.
@Aniz - No. What I am saying is that no matter how great a review is or what a phone is made of, if the phone doesn't have what people want...it doesn't matter.
I have a DROID DNA, and at the time, I had no commitment to a particular carrier, so I tried most of these, except the ONE because it wasn't out yet. I chose the DNA because of the feel, the specs, and build quality. I have never held anything that felt this solid, except maybe my Incredible S, and was hooked. The screen is awesome compared to most other 1080p phones, and I have no issue with battery life.
Can we have a review on some Dual Sim phones, I don't come from a third world however I find dual sim phones great for travel and honestly they have made a lot of improvements over the past year! To simplify things for you here's a list of the top dual sim phones imo: Acer Liquid S1 HTC One Dual SIM Huawei Ascend P6 Specs Samsung Galaxy S Duos - I have used this one and its way faster then I expected! Ofc u r the pro here so I'm looking forward to a video maybe one day?
Great review and enjoyed it. Like the HTC but can't consider it because of no removable battery. (HUGE factor for me due to certain circumstances). Also, I'm dismayed at how many people that are hung up on 'plastic'. Oy. 99 percent of smart phones I see.. including mine.. are utilizing a case. Apparently, there is an aftermarket metal back for the S4 as well. My vote goes to S4 as being #1..Also, someone likes Cheerios.. love it!
U really have that knowledge my friend. agreed with you as you said at "That Time". from your tube, the Super LCD 3 is a winner for 1080p. if htc one used Retina Display from Apple or Amoled from Samsung it definitely not HTC One the winner right. in other word, Super LCD3 is actually the winner not the phone it self. do you agree with me?
HTC Butterfly s was announced on june and this video was made on april. Xperia z is a pretty awesome phone btw, I wish it could match the HTC one's proccesor though.
Hey MKBHD, isn't their some flaws with the HTC One's display? iv'e heard the calibration is messed up, and it's dynamic contrast level is too high, and has too much gamma?
All these phones have great looking screens, i would say that other factors shuould matter more when choosing a phone. I got myself the htc one and i really love it. Great phone all-around! :)
It's not a problem on storage, that's because of all the bloatware and the system. All the features that Samsung is so proud of takes up almost half of the inbuilt storage, my Xperia Z has 11.7gb of 16gb but I have rooted and flashed a custom rom on mine. If you flash a custom rom on your S4 you will have about 11gb storage aswell.
You are so right. BUT Nokia is showing us a new way with 41mp. You can take a picture and zoom in and crop and then post that single picture online. throw the rest. Thats pretty nice. so more pix is a good thing but not a must have
Thin-film-transistor liquid-crystal display. And ye, I agree with the list. I just ordered my HTC One and it's due to come on Tuesday. I just cant fcking wait.
I have to agree, I have this phone and I can say that it's the best phone that I've ever owned; I've owned many phones over the years and this one takes the crown; for it's design, build quality and the ability for HTC to implement and innovate with it's manufacturing and craftsmanship make this device true sight to behold:-):-):-D:-):-)
can't believe how fast the world has move on, now we have Galaxy note 3, Sony Z1, Z ultra, LG G2...he needs to update his video already despite that now is only half a year later since this video was posted

2013: You don't need such a high resolution (1080p) on a phone
2019: This phone display isn't sharp enough bc it only has 1080p

2023
After 5 Years of Innovative Smartphone displays,
The $749 iPhone isn’t 1080p.
Not a rant, I’m typing on one.
iPhone xr huh?
After 7 years of innovative smartphone displays, the $699 iPhone isn't 1080p.
OMG! This is just the video I was looking for today... in 2019.
Thanks to you I learned more about android and I switched from iPhone 4s to the Samsung galaxy note 3. Best decision ever made!
i will be doing the same
Wow, just on year ago the highest resolution was 1920x1080. Now look, a year later, Oppo Find 7, 5 inch screen, 2560x1440!!!!!! That is technology advancing!
the build quality of oppo is shit
+Kamran Younis no
Dilip Tien yes
Oh and by the way, ur right about how technology is advancing, because sony released the z5 premium with a 4k screen!
Kamran Younis how is it shit?
Great opinion, but i think i'll stick on my S10e. Thanks !
Ew you only have an s10e disgusting
Watching this on s10+. How the tech has changed.
Where is the iPhone? Oh wait...
burnner89 iPhone 8, still no 1080p
by the time the first 1080p iphone (the iphone 6 plus) was released, there were already 1440p phones like the lg g3.
iPhone 5s is 720p ha ha ha ha ha
Not even.. 640p! Haha!
Mindless Mouth Movement
really ? ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Actually it's a 644p phone and I was surprised when I knew that it wasn't 720p
+Farfoosh03 no, it is a 640p display. Google it.
***** 750
Marques what do you think about the Xiaomi Mi 3?
Finally a clear and straight forward reviewer. subscribing.
Oppo in 2013- Bad in software.
Oppo in 2019- Bad in software.
Lol
When he mentioned Samsung Galaxy S4 as number two, I knew that he was gonna say HCT One as number 1 >,< This guy likes that phone a lot !
yea, and u like the s4 a lot lol
Davíð Árni Guðmundsson yea Lol
Despaxir Dezpaxir ikr
Shadow Ninja everyone liked the m7/m8 a lot. Its straight up the best. m9 is mixed though.
+HailgodMC so was the M8
This guys is amazing. Probably the best reviewers on the planet!!! I like it!
Marques, since you filmed this video it had been more than 2 years for Apple to make FHD phone display
You mean almost 2 years :l
Well, they made one within around 2 years.
technically they've made two. the 6+ and 6s+ both have 1080p screen. (1090ish technically)
+Gabe Tinge 1090ish? It's a 1080p panel, what are you talking about?
HTC ONE ROCKS.
I think i should buy one 😊
Yeah
You bought it ?
I've got the HTC DNA for 8 months now. Love it and it still doesn't feel like a old phone yet. Best phone I've owned!!
Haha. Its 2017 and the smaller 4.7" iphone still doesnt have a 1080p screen. I dont care how good their 750p screen looks, the phone is $650 put a damn full hd screen on it.
Anyways, today is the apple event, lets see if they finally use 1080p on all their iphones
720p*
They have never released all there phones with al 1080
GO ANDROID
GO WINDOWS!!loljk not.
This is being typeeld from a samsung galaxy S4
Marques, I got to tell you, I found your reviews both informative and entertaining you really do a better job then the professionals. You really have a gift in web casting!
* Laughs in 1440p *
Same here
I'm still on 1080p😭
Top 5 2k phones: coming spring 2015
2K is 1080p, not 1440p.
Dilip Tien 2k is closer to 1440p than 1080p. But yeah, this is a pet peeve of mine now, people calling 1440p 2k. 2k is less than 1440p. Quad HD is a more accurate description. This was almost a year ago and I didn't know there was a difference yet.
Gabe Tinge yeah QHD is 4 times 720p which is 1440p.
Gabe Tinge I'm pretty sure that 2K is 2048x1080, which is closer to 1920x1080 than it is to 2560x1440.

You really had to add lg g2 it's even better than htc one but I'm not sure if lg g2 was released. If it was you had to include it
Just bought an HTC One. Great phone, great display and build.
I see HTC just came out with the new Butterfly s with 1.9GHz Snapdragon 600 processor 3,200mAh battery and UltraPixel camera sensor.

HTC One series are the best phones they currently update and never feels old
I'm sure this question has been asked a million times by now, but what is the song that is playing at 0.34?
aweosome vids mane, wondering if u could make some laptop vids
Apple was the first smartphone company to focus on pixel density. Thus the marketing name "Retina Display".
I defiantly need a 1080p display on my phone !
The HTC Butterfly !!!!
I have to agree, I have this phone and I can say that it's the best phone that I've ever owned; I've owned many phones over the years and this one takes the crown; for it's design, build quality and the ability for HTC to implement and innovate with it's manufacturing and craftsmanship make this device true sight to behold:-):-):-D:-):-)
You have no idea how fitting your profile picture is.
i agree with you on this list completely and thats why my current phone is the htc one
your prediction about iphone is absolutely right!
Doesn't the iPhone 5 have it? Or are they still waiting to eventually put it on?
0:40 Does anyone knows what song is this?
can't believe how fast the world has move on, now we have Galaxy note 3, Sony Z1, Z ultra, LG G2...he needs to update his video already despite that now is only half a year later since this video was posted
What's the song at 0:35??!
I second this comment
you have a point about the retina display being nice however you must not have seen a full HD display.. because it completely shuts down a retina display.
So proud of having an HTC one right now
guess you're right. Lg optimus g just missed your list cause its WXGA(768X1280).
But why for the love of christ the king did you not include the LG optimus G PRO?
was it not 'out' when you made this video. would'nt you agree 401ppi /5.5 inch/ IPS LED HD could have figured in your list ??
Great video keep up the good work.
What's the name of the song before you introduce the top 5 phones
Though, this video was a while ago.. the One is still beast.
Though, this comment was made 5 years ago.... the HTC is dead
very nice review dude
the beat at the end of ur video is awsome
:D
Marques what do you think about HTC One V? When looking from average consumers point of view?
I agree with the HTC One being #1, the ppi on that thing is amazing, like 469ppi if I'm not mistaken
