This is not the same situation: What you're describing is that resolution increases for a given display size in phones. I have a 2.2" phone, but of course it has 240x320, not 176x20. My next phone will must likely have a 2.6" display at the same resolution, so they go up again. But then again, they didn't play a lot of videos on 2.2" 176x220-screens, did they? I do use my N8x0s as video players a lot, so size does matter (more than resolution actually).
