Evolution of mobile phone resolution history | From the big brother to the iPhone

Speaking of mobile phone screen parameters, we first reaction is certainly the size, texture, resolution, color of these related features, today we do not talk about the difference between TFT and OLED materials such as the main screen resolution of the phone 捋 a捋, find yourself in this era of cell phone fans into the circle.

Close to only a slight difference of several resolutions will be unified to a select a few typical models, at the same time, because some of the older models, Xiaobian less contact with the investigation of information may also be less detailed, if any error Welcome to big brother correction.

Although the current cell phone screen delicate degree of eye-catching, but look at some of the calculator interface, we can imagine that the phone screen has also experienced such an era, when there is no resolution or even such parameters, because the screen The only effect is to show the number of digits entered.

Single / double line monochrome display (perhaps, do not discuss the resolution)

Motorola's glorious history can be described as endless, although the real first commercial mobile phone should be Motorola's DynaTAC, but the first contact with domestic users, but mostly Motorola 3200, which is commonly known as the 'big brother', which Is the first mobile phone to officially enter the mainland market when Shanghai first batch of 2160 total circulation, prepayment of 23,200 yuan, all made in the German factory, 3 months to get the machine.

This set should be regarded as a symbol of the identity of the year, as the screen shows the effect of two-line display, it has been to the big face.

The first generation of Motorola StarTAC, as the ancestor clamshell phone, the first generation StarTAC this screen is not too much resolution and resolution, then the phone is still a simulator, and now the difference is more huge machine.

QQCIF level (88 * 72)

This period and beyond a very long period of time, the unity of the resolution of the phone is still relatively low, this time the screen resolution is not important, we consider more in the end to buy a blue screen or buy a green screen, so fragmented Resolution specifications by the standard resolution format close to finishing, here less than 100 * 100 pixels unified classification QQCIF level.

This level Xiaobian think of the first time in 2000, the Nokia classic models listed 3310, because too classic, last year also released a new version of the engraved.

If you're still impressed with terms such as 16 chords and 32 chords, you probably heard about the 6688, the first handset with MP3 and memory card extensions.

QCIF level (176 * 144)

Similarly, the resolution is less than QCIF QVGA resolution near the unified classification of models QCIF. This time the phone has begun to gradually have a call other than the function, so the screen requirements are gradually increasing, began to appear Color screen, 4096 colors, 65536 colors, 260,000 colors, these parameters have also been the indicator of your choice of mobile phone?

The first is love to spend flowers of Nokia, in 2003, has been designed for ease of operation of the game horizontal version of the model.

Sony Ericsson T618, when the two are still together, Sony Ericsson T618, maintaining a consistent high value.

Nokia is still so unpredictable, 7610 is Xiaobian memory Nokia only a direct application for the appearance of the patent phone.

Evolution to 260,000 colors, may be a lot of friends began to touch and try to understand the beginning of the phone, because there is a classic models have to say at this time, MOTO V3.

QVGA level (320 * 240)

Starting from this level, the resolution of the phone screen size is relatively uniform, most of the phone is the standard resolution or a little custom, the principle has been, the difference between the smaller uniform classified into QVGA.

That time the smart phone industry, Symbian has gradually dominated the trend, N73 as the second mobile phone using S60v3 system, 2.4-inch 260,000 color screen is already the flagship level, and after a long period of time , Which is a standard configuration of the mainstream machine.Of course, more importantly, it is also equipped with a 3.2 million-pixel Carl Zeiss lens, can be said that Nokia camera flagship essential.

At that time Nokia's candy bar phone is really creative and very good value, often introduced to share, this can be rotated below the 5700XM I believe everyone is equally familiar.

The real wave of Windows Mobile set off a wave of Xiaobian in the image, it should be the same period of Dopod S1, or perhaps you will be more familiar with another name - HTC Touch. At that time a public view is only part of the office-type mobile phone WM, Dopod S1 appearance to help it open a lot of the market.

HVGA level (320 * 480)

At this level, each stage of the classic models too much, select a as a representative, mainly as a representative of the historical evolution of screen resolution.

If you want to choose this stage as a representative, Xiao Bian only want to choose two, this is the beginning of a time.

VGA level (640 * 480)

The use of VGA resolution mobile phone is actually not a lot, most of them are using a low profile HVGA, such as the above two, or a higher file XGA (1024 * 768) on behalf of models LG Optimus Vu (1024 * 768) and Galaxy Note (1280 * 800), VGA resolution to Xiaobian left more bright memory, is HTC Touch Diamond, Windows Mobile6.1 can be regarded as the last of the romance of it.

qHD level (960 * 540)

From here, in fact, the resolution of the HD standard and the XGA standard began to have a cross-integration part, select the more familiar HD sequence as the archive method.

The typical nature is the famous iPhone 4, it is also Apple's 'retina screen' concept, gave many people resist the reasons for the screen resolution to further increase, many people at that time to take this to ignore the use of distance and screen size, to promote HD Resolution useless theory, it now appears that the specific problems still have to be specific analysis ah.

HD level (1280 * 720)

Finally reached the level of 'HD', in other words, it is also reached the screen level in recent years.It can be seen that the resolution and XGA level is about the same, so this time, the specifications described using the XGA sequence prefix Long, was gradually replaced by the HD sequence.

We recognize that the first HD resolution mobile phone is the LG LU6200, but at the same time, there are some people think that Google's own son Galaxy Nexus, because both the announcement and time to market is indeed relatively close.

FHD level (1920 * 1080)

After hurdling the 'retina screen' barrier by hitting the barrier of the HD screen, there was a time when various manufacturers were competing for screen resolution, shortly after the introduction of the first FHD-resolution HTC Butterfly By the way, many mobile phone annotations FHD +, its essence is still FHD level resolution, but the full screen 18: 9 or even higher aspect ratio lead to longer than the standard FHD resolution More than the rate of dozens of pixels.

QHD level (2K, 2560 * 1440)

The first 1080P screen phone belongs to HTC, while the first 2K screen is vivo Xplay3s, but because of the announcement from the sale interval for a period of time, there are some friends will support Find 7 as the first 2K screen phone.

UHD (4K, 3840 * 2160)

In fact, manufacturers have to test the water after 2K screen and found that users are not very buy it, the screen resolution wars have been suspended, and even some manufacturers are quietly retracted FHD camp. Only SONY Dafa stubborn as in the past , Perseverance, and finally overcome the 4K screen success, bringing the first 4K resolution mobile phone, Xperia XZ Premium.

The evolution of the screen resolution of the history of this come to an end, I believe we all know, separate apart, the meaning of a data is very limited, even if the PPI such comprehensive data, but also with the battery life and other aspects to consider Looking at resolution is not about winning or losing, but trying to find a reason to go back and see the phones we've been concerned about.
