This is all in your head. The xr has a better resolution than the eye can distinguish, so unless you are some kind of android or looking at your phone through a lens you can't see a difference in picture quality between the xr and xs. the xr doesn't support 1080p youtube videos, but then it's a tiny screen and if you can't distinguish between the pixels you have, then you certainly don't need anymore. Now when the displays get bigger, you need a higher pixel density otherwise you'll notice, but this is a 6 inch screen, not a 48 inch screen. This is why a 4K phone screen is irrelevant for example. Now the Xs will look better in terms of contrast, it has an amazing screen and the colours will look better, but not the clarity of text. It sounds to me like you have been sucked into the marketing terms of numbers here.

I came from a 1080 Android and I absolutely LOVE the XR screen. If you don't want one, if you don't like it, nobody's putting a gun to your head to make you buy one. Honestly I don't know what people expect from a freaking cellphone playing freaking YouTube videos. If that's even the real problem here.

That's not what the post said, it said the XR has a higher resolution than can be made out by the human eye. I don't know of it is true or not there is so much hyperbole around screens of all brands and gadgets for that matter...

You do realise XR's pixel density matches the one of iPhone 5 that came out in 2012... and on a 4 inch screen it didn't look so bad.

If that was true and it isn't i have a 11" iPad pro too. Do you have a problem with the screen on it too ;)

The ignorants that have no clue what they are talking about deserve to pay Xs and Max prices

I think I argued with someone in every single one of those threads.

What am I doing with my life?

Did you even read my post? I said the XR has a better resolution than the eye can distinguish, not the other way around

The screen doesn’t look that bad when I’m using the phone on the street or the subway, but watching YouTube videos and reading in my bed it’s just a bad experience, there are visible jaggies in the letters , text just looks “fuzzy” and so don videos as well, exhibitng lots of compression.

I also have a pixel 2 (that I’m selling right now) and I compared the two devices, to not feel like I’m being just paranoid and picky, but there is a real difference. I cannot believe apple is so greedy that it would purposely cripple the device, so that if we want a better aka good screen we’re forced to get the iPhone XS, a 300 eur device like a moto g6 has a higher res screen, ridiculous.

Before you say , just return it and buy the iPhone XS, I’d like to say that it feels wrong to me to pay 1150 euros for a device, that by the way also has an inferior camera to my current device (pixel 2) that was released a year ago and costed me 600 euros; also the iPhone XS has poor battery life and no usb c port, too many compromises for that price.l point.

And no I don’t want to keep my pixel 2 with such a small screen, I miss iOS. I want to use iOS again.

Did you just learn to live with it?

why don't you just go with another android flagship? They are practically same price as Xr plus a much better screen, and then maybe wait for this or next years iPhone.
