A few days ago, a Motorola/Symbol executive told us about how falling prices for VGA screens motivate Symbol’s design department to eventually consider replacing its QVGA screens - not for the benefits of a higher resolution, but rather because of lower cost.
The folks at EngadgetMobile now report that users from a russian forum have found out that Asus did something similar with their P750 smartphone - while the device displays data in QVGA, it actually uses a VGA screen and uses pixel, doubling in order to achieve the desired, aka low, resolution.
Not much further information is available as of now - I have sent an inquiry to Asus’s Lars Schweden - let’s stay tuned!
