The Nexus One’s display continues to be less than meets the eye. Ars’ breakdown reveals that the PenTile subpixel arrangement means that, depending on how you count the pixels, it could have an effective resolution that’s smaller than 800×480. https://gizmodo.com/the-nexus-ones-dirty-display-secret-updated-5477320 Nouvoyance’s own diagram of the PenTile subpixel arrangement explains it pretty well: it uses a…
