Not quite state of the art, but not that bad, for me. Especially since many people do not like the b/w text rendering of pentile displays, which is what you would need the resolution for.

Ah I see.. sorry
Seems to be some smart technique anyways
def not high bitrates. also hard to debug.
I would choose SPI over I2C even if it needs 2 more connectors.

And I hope they get the audio right this time for low-latency applications... would be great for multi-track recording and software-synths... and midi over i2c

jolla called it "HD" and left the audience that it meant one of the two commonly understood HD resolutions:
HD (1280x720)
Full HD (1920x1080)
it should also be noted the original retina display was on a 3.5" screen.

I've got specs enough: It's a Genuine Jolla device running SailfishOS. I even know the price tag for it
What else do you need to know really? How will it make you happier to know something else?
