I'm thinking of buying this phone. But I need to know hows the screen resolution. Is it amazing? Is it as great as the resolution on the samaung a70?
Both resolutions are FHD+
a70 has a 6.7 inch screen with 398 PPI
Mate 20 X has a 7.2 inch screen with 346 PPI
Technically a70 is a little sharper but hardly noticeable to the naked eye
Also, Mate 20 X's screen (18.7:9) is thicker compared to a70 (20:9)
All in all, from just a screen perspective it's better to get the Mate 20 X because you're getting a bigger screen with just a small reduction in pixel density. The quality is still amazing.
A70 is much cheaper. Maybe get a80 as a good comparison.

According to gsmarena wave 2 has more ppi pixel density than galaxy s
Is it means that wave 2 produce little bit more sharper image than galaxy s though galaxy s has better screen technology. I need to know what does exactly ppi pixel density means..
Best Regards !!
PPI means pixel per inch, so yes Wave 2 has way more sharper image than Galaxy S.

Hey Everyone,
As we all know, the Note 2 is a 5.55" inch screen and has 10% less pixels, leading to a 7% lower DPI. (264.5 vx 285, roughly).
My question is this, though: Given that the new pentile arrangement is RGB and not RGBG, doesn't that technically mean we have
a significantly higher subpixel density?
Isn't the old subpixel count: 1280 * 800 * 2?
and the new one: 1280 * 720 * 3?

Yes. Yes it does.
Wait....so the PPI is higher because of RGB and not PenTile?

if you do a simple ppi calculation , without taking into consideration that the note 1 is pentile , note 1 has a slightly bigger number of pixels per inch , but that is a pentile , not an rgb arrangement .
267ppi on the new Galaxy Note II. BUT, with non-pentile arrangement it will 'appear' to have a sharper image quality.
Even though the screen is .2" larger diagonally, it only has a 2% larger surface area.
I am waiting for the 32/64 gigs titanium grey to be available at emag Romania sometime at the begining of november .

The PPI is lower for the Note 2. BUT that's only because the Note 1 cheats the PPI by only having 2 out of 3 of the sub pixels in a traditional screen. This is one reason why the HTC One X's 720p screen (IPS LCD in RGB) looks significantly sharper than the SGS3 or even the Galaxy Nexus's 720p screen (OLED in Pentile).
Even though the PPI may drop slightly, you'll have significant clarity improvement especially with text and hardlines like in what a webpage displays. On the other hand, one may not notice the difference when looking at pictures or viewing movies.
The new Note 2 will have LONNNGGG awaited RGB OLED. No other phone that has OLED has had an RGB Matrix [Edit: ok, I mean HD OLED displays]
Pentile (7 pixles)

hey guys i was thinking about getting a galaxy but my only concern is the screen i have like an ocd thing about pixelation and i heard their hardly isnt any on the galaxy note 2 although it has less pixel density as well, well maybe at least compared to the gs3. how are you guys liking the new screen?
I came from the high ppi iPhone 4, from 326 to 267, and I'm very happy.
I'm not as OCD as you, but I'm still OCD, and with all the features of the Note 2, and humongous battery, I am definitely pleased.
1280x720 > 960x640 anyday, albeit lower ppi.
If you mean, clarity of small text. I can read full page pdf docs with smallish writing, in portrait mode. Dont have to zoom in. Iphone would be just a blur. The massive screen more than compensates for effectively tiny ppi differences. Wait till we have 1080p on 5inch displays then it will be more noticeable.

No problems here either. I've owned all of At&T's recent top end phones (iPhone 4, Note 1, One X, and S3 to name a few) , and I think it's the best screen on a mobile device to date. PPI isn't the end all be all. The bigger the device the greater the viewing distance is. The greater the distance the less PPI really matters. Can't really compare a 4" and 5.5" device on PPI alone.

Hi guys,
I own the samsung a70. Its got a big screen. But I'm thinking about selling it to buy the mate 20x. The a70 has a 6.7 inch screen. The 20x has a 7.3 inch although its aspect ratio is wider than the a70. has anyone had the a70 to compare with the mate 20-x? Do you think half an inch of screen real estate it worth getting it?
bump

Mate 20x is have slightly better experience. Almost x2 gpu and cpu power. Mate 20x has better and wider oled screen. Switching between applications slightly smoother than a70. Mate 20x is even better than s10+. A70 is no match for mate 20x. Thats your answer i guess. There is no Phone can Come near to mate 20x. Maybe note 10+, we Will see.
Mate 20 x is better, A70 has no chance!
Cardboard model
You didn't say what are the important features for you?
Screensize okay, we got it
But do you love Samsung Oneui? Would you like Huawei software?
Mate 20 x is quite large, you should build yourself a cardboard model, it's quite easy : you can stack some sheets to get the proper thickness but don't forget about the 220+ grams weight that's 40 gram difference.
Anyway I love my mate 20 x and all its features
I got the samsung a70. I like the phone's 6.7 inch display. But the aspect ratio makes it a bit narrow. That's why I'm thinking about getting the huawei mate 20x which has a 7.2 inch screen. Do you think I should stay with this phone or buy the mate 20x?
Bigger screen, faster cpu, faster gpu....more expensive.
Yes its obviously an improvement in some areas - it's a different class of phone at a higher price point. The question is are those improvements important to you and is the addition cost justifiable. Since "better" is a subjective term, you would need to answer that one yourself.

I love the Samsung A70 phone's thinner aspect ratio because the extra length makes it a lot more practical as a phone and in most cases makes it as enjoyable to use for consuming media as a larger phone with 16:9 aspect ratio, and still fits in my pockets easy.
For my uses, which doesn't include a lot of video gaming, I don't ever want to use a 16:9 phone again.
Not to mention I only paid $370 USD for my A70.

Out of curiosity did you ever own or use the huawei mate 20x? Hope you would elaborate further on the a70 compared to the mate 20x if you did own the phone.

But from what I read you can unlock and root the mate 20x. Unless I'm missing something.
Mate 20X but it costs double the price of the A70.
Excellent performance. Insane battery life. Excellent stereo speakers. Flagship build quality. Screen is wider and bigger but maybe less sharp than A70.
Mate 20X is a beast.
Alas, No Huawei for me as the problem with android updates and google play updates still not fully solved, then the bootloader is locked as i know and no custom development in kirin processors as snapdragon variants, narrow phone means easier to use and carry with one hand , a70 not a bad phone really the only things that pisses me off is i prefer stock vanilla android and only mono external speaker, but every thing else is near perfect

Is there really a big difference in display sharpness between the mate 20x and a70? They're both amoled and hdr. Do they look so similar that you can't tell the difference in sharpness?

Hey Mohamedselim. I'm kinda confused. You said there's a problem with android and google play updates? I don't get it. I thought emui gets updates. And I thought google play get updates too. Please explain.
You alao said the bootloader is locked. But I've seen on XDA where you can root the phone. Again please explain.
And which phone would you prefer?

Difference in sharpness must be noticeable. Mate 20X has a much bigger and wider 7.2 inch screen with a low pixel density of 346 only. While the A70 has a much smaller and narrower screen but a higher pixel density of 393.
This means A70 screen is definitely sharper. It's a very high quality super sharp AMOLED panel comparable to other Samsung flagships.
Meanwhile the Mate20X has an OLED panel not SAMOLED. Don't get me wrong, I have seen reviews on Youtube of the Mate20X and the screen looked very nice. It's not like we are talking about LCD vs AMOLED.
Mate20X is still the superior phone and multimedia beast.

Got to disagree with you on one issue. The info I researched is that the mate 20x is amoled not oled.
So you havent seen the a70 in person I assume.

I prefer the Mate 20X hands down. Bigger and wider screen (A70 is too tall and narrow). better aspect ratio 18:9 (A70 has the ridiculous 20:9 which makes 90% of online videos appear with huge black bars on the sides). Better stereo speakers with loud and clean sound (A70 has a single mono speaker with just average loudness). Better premium build quality. Better performance with flagship chipset. Much better cameras. Amazing battery life I have seen 10 to 12 hours sot on reviews (A70 battery life didn't impress me at all) . Fingerprint sensor is blazing fast and super accurate (A70 fingerprint sucks).
That's all I can think of right now.
Amoled IS OLED, it's short for Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode. It's one of two types of OLED panel, the other being PMOLED (Passive Matrix OLED). All modern phone displays are AMOLED, although samsung like to bundle everything including the touch sensors in to to one layer and call it AMOLED. The underlying oled tech is the same however. Don't know if the mate 20x has a single layer panel. Doesnt make much difference tbh.

Hmm the A70 objectively isn't as sharp as the panels used on the S/Note series. It also doesnt support HDR or wide colour gamut (DCI-P3). I honestly don't think they are that far off though.
Battery life of the A70 certainly impresses me - I regularly get 7 hours plus OST. Doesnt mean that couldn't be improved upon of course but it's far from terrible. Much better than what I ever saw from my old S8.

Heres another site comparing the 2 phones that state the a70 has super amoled and the mate 20x has amoled. It also states that both phones are HDR:
http://phonesdata.com/en/compare/5742/5451/
The A70 doesnt support HDR10 or Dolby vision or anything like and doesnt have a HDR compatible screen. Netflix hides its HDR content, youtube doesnt give you the option to choose a HDR stream etc.
That website doesnt mention HDR at all under the screen section. Notice it mentions both HDR10 and the DCI-P3 wide colour gamut for the mate 20x but not the A70? That's because the A70 doesnt support them.
It totally depends on your taste of phone, I don't like to waste more than 250 euro on a phone since I break one once a year (because I'm clumsy when I'm drunk).
I bought my samsung a70 for 240 euro by my local carrier (without a loan or an subscription) if I look online for the mate 20x it cost around 900 euro which is way to much for a phone for me since I only use it for whatsapp, discord some browsing and watching a movie in the train.
You should check these marks if u want to buy that phone:
- Do i want to look cool with a 900 euro phone from huaweii or a cool samsung phone
- Do I want super deluxe photo's or decent photo's
- Do I want to watch super crisp netflix movies on my phone or do I want to watch movies just a little bit crisp and cropped to fit for full screen
- Do I want a bigger screen or do I want a phone that just fits in your pocket
- Do I want to pay 3 times the price for a phone or just a small price for a perfectly fine phone
I would recommend if u have the money the huawei mate 20x but if u don't just go with the samsung one and go to a movie or smthg with a nice girl with the money you spared
