The Htc One X And The Galaxy Note-an Overview Of Screens

When the HTC One X smartphone was released last month one of the features that grabbed

the attention of many consumers was the superb 4.7 inch screen offered by the device. This made the handset an instant hit with users looking for a phone to use for video playback and mobile gaming. There is however another device on the market that boasts a screen even larger than the HTC. The Samsung Galaxy Note was launched towards the end of 2011 and incorporates a massive 5.3 inch screen. We see how these two superb devices compare in terms of design and screen technology.

Although the new HTC One X is the smaller of these two phones it is still relatively large when compared to the majority of handsets currently available. The model measures 134.4 x 69.9 x 8.9mm and weighs 130 grammes. The One X is a very visually appealing device that compares favourably with some of the nicest designs available such as the Sony Xperia S and the iPhone 4S. The large screen dominates almost the entire fascia of the model with just a very thin bezel that surrounds the display visible from the front. When you turn the phone over and take a look at the rear of the device you are greeted by a striking uni body chassis that boasts a slightly textured finish and an attractive curved design. The Samsung Galaxy Note is a very large phone which could easily be described as a miniature tablet rather than a mobile smartphone. The phone looks like a larger version of the popular S2 handset. The slightly curved back panel offers a textured finish but the plastic that is used on the phone does feel less premium than the material that is used on the One X. The use of plastic does help to keep the weight of the handset down to a minimum however and this phone weighs just 178 grammes which is impressive for such a large device.

There is no doubt that the key feature on both of these models is the excellent screen quality that both products offer. The HTC One X uses the latest Super IPS LCD2 panel which delivers incredibly bright pictures and superb viewing angles. The screen measures 4.7 inches which makes it the largest display in the current HTC range. This screen can deliver an excellent resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels and a very high pixel density of 312PPI. This multi touch capacitive screen is made from toughened Gorilla Glass which is more resistant to scratches and damage than many more traditional materials. The Samsung Galaxy Note uses a much larger 5.3 inch display that makes use of Samsung's own Super AMOLED technology. This type of screen is regarded as being the best currently available and it does produce wonderfully bright images. In terms of resolution the model can display 1280 x 800 which is slightly higher than the One X but the larger screen size means that pixel density does drop to 285 pixels per inch. Despite this lower density the Galaxy Note still produces great visuals that will delight many consumers but we feel that the HTC handset does hold the upper hand in this area.

If you are looking for a mobile handset with a large display then these two models should be at the top of your list. Both handsets offer an eye catching design and excellent screen quality but the HTC One X does eclipse its rival in this area thanks to the superior pixel density that it can produce.
