How is 7.7“ an inbetween size when there's a number of 7” tablets on the market already? :confused:

That said, it's nice to see new small tablets with decent resolutions: I like the look of 1280p. I reckon 5.3" is just about pocket sized still (it'd certainly *fit* in my pockets, whether it'd be comfortable is another matter) but might be a bit small for regular usage and for pen-based input…

As I said at the start of the piece, it's inbetween a smartphone and a full-sized tablet. I hope that helps. :rolleyes:

It's actually 800p ;)

But yes, it's a respectable amount for 7“ tablets. I still can't believe the vast numbers of the very similar 1366x768 resolutions they bung in 15” laptops. It hurts my face just to switch to my 13“ notebook at that res after using my 1080p 15”er.

I'm definitely not ruling out buying one of those 5“ phones though, that resolution would be awesome. I find it curious that they don't have battery life information - but with a 2,500mAh battery and only a 5” screen, it should be lasting longer than my current phone (Desire HD) which has a 4.3" screen and 1,350mAh battery IIRC. Granted, the internals are different too.. but I think I heard these dual cores are roughly as power-sucking as last gen single cores.

*rubs hands*

That wasn't meant to be a dig at the article Scott - it's just that I reckon 7“ is the start of ”full-sized“ tablets, with 10” actually being large tablets. As such, IMNSHO a 7.7“ tablet *is* full-sized! After all, the original Galaxy Tab was 7”, as is the HTC flyer…

Ooops! I was so excited by the decent resolution I got my naming conventions backwords :p

Actually I hate all those hacked about and bodged 16:9 ratio screens. I much rather have a proper 720p (i.e. 1280x720) than 1366x768 (although ideally I'd take 1280x800 for preference ;) ). 1366 x 768 just feels like it's made of bad compromises…

I've currently got the Optimus 2X, and as far as I can tell battery life during actual usage is barely any different to the HTC magic (526MHz ARM9) it replaced. In a tablet I should imagine there'd be no practical difference.
