Help Resolution

[battle1]

Hi there im a proud galaxy s2 owner and my only regret is about its low screen resolution which as you know is 800x480. I wonder if i did pretty wrong by buying it 3 months ago and not waited for HTC One X or Galaxy S3 and that if there's any kind of modification to make it's screen 1280x720.

All i can really say is the gs2 is a shit hot piece of kit so you won't be disappointed. It will do everything you need in a smart phone so don't worry.

Screen res is pretty much my only complaint with the device. It's hard to read text on web pages without zooming in and it's noticeable in other areas too

No software can add more pixels to the screen- pixels are a hardware element of the display.

I agree with matttye aswell only problem is about the low resolution for that huge 4.3 inch display i just saw an HTC One X yesterday and it's screen was amazing app logos and words were beatiful and i regretted that i didnt wait 2 months for 2-3 times better display i wish there was a way i could replace the screen with a higher resolution display

People were talking about higher resolution screen for ages. You weren't the only one comparing resolution when SGS2 came out. Even the nexus had higher ppi levels near to IPhones. And if your carrier had a return policy, maybe you could return it for the Nexus (assuming screen PPI is the most important thing for you)? But there are still features of the SGS2 that makes it worth it IMHO.

I like the HTC One X too. Pretty good specs. But what kills it is the non-replaceable battery as well as memory that cannot be increased with a microSD. In that sense, the SGS3 is a better option for me. Either way, I will happily keep my S2 which I have been using for 9 months now and wait until my 2 year contract expires (at least).
