Does PPI matter when choosing a mobile phone, TV or computer display?

Post by Rina7RS »

Yes, it is. When you buy a new smartphone, computer monitor, TV or any other device with a display, you want its screen to look its best, right?

Let’s say you’re in the market for a new smartphone and after doing some research online, you decide that you like the Xiaomi 14 Ultra and the Sony Xperia 1 VI. Money doesn’t matter to you, but the screen of your next smartphone does. The Xiaomi 14 Ultra has a 6.73-inch display with a resolution of 1440 x 3200 pixels and a pixel density of 522 PPI. The Sony Xperia 1 VI has a 6.5-inch display, a resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels and a pixel density of 396 PPI. The screen size, resolution, and PPI density of the Xiaomi 14 Ultra are significantly higher than the Sony Xperia 1 VI.

What does PPI mean?

So wouldn’t you choose a smartphone with a higher PPI – the Xiaomi 14 Ultra? A higher PPI or pixel density means that you get much more detail for everything that’s displayed on the screen. This means better images, better fonts, smoother lines or, in other words, higher quality. Everyone wants that, right?
