We bemoan smartphone display resolution quite often here at PHONE Magazine: manufacturers keep insisting on giving us QVGA displays, when we want VGA instead.  But a lot of the time, they’re actually giving us VGA panels but forcing the resolution to be lower so as to smooth out fonts and icons.  What you need, then, is a team of industrious hackers to create custom firmware enabling true pixel mapping, and in fact that’s what you’ll soon be able to get on the ASUS P750; thanks to two coders from the Russian Asusmobile.ru forum the firmware should be out within the week.

ASUS P750 VGA

Of course, this is only really useful if you’ve got good eyes – remember, the P750 has a 2.4-inch display, so VGA on that is going to be quite a different story from, say, VGA on a desktop monitor (or even on a UMPC).  Still, it’s good to be given the option, and hopefully manufacturers will offer that as a out-of-the-box setting rather than forcing the fan community to develop it themselves in future.
