It is easy for me to see jaggies on a 300 dpi device (the N7 and N10 are both in that ballpark, as was my old 720p phone). You can too -- go to a browser, and type "www" and then look at those letters. The jaggies are just what you'd expect from 300 dpi.
On the Nexus 5 (440 dpi), I can't see them anymore.
Resolutions above this seem unnecessary to me -- but for the N6, 1080p would mean 360 dpi, so that might be sub-perfect. 1440p will be perfect for sure.
- StavrosK 12y agoHmm, weird. I was going by my HTC One M7, which has a 1080p screen, but its ppi is 460ish, and the Nexus 6 is 493. I didn't realize an extra inch would require 1440p to have roughly the same resolution. I can't see jaggies anywhere at this resolution, though.
- IkmoIkmo 12y ago> On the Nexus 5 (440 dpi), I can't see them anymore. I can't see jaggedness on my iphone 4 at 'www' in the browser either, and that's at 326 PPI. But fair enough. The low 400s range seems like a solid enough improvement. I just don't get the upper 400s like the Nexus 6's 493, and perhaps the 500 range next year. Obviously there's a bit of extra battery and a bit of extra processing hardware required for that, however small, I'd want to hang on to it beyond the low 400s PPI range.
