I must agree with those comments that say that this comparison is absolutely meaningless for 3.5" and larger screens. The smaller text is absolutely useless on 2.8" and smaller screens, VGA or QGA.

But you move up to 3.5" or larger, that 25% increase in font size is enough to make small text which QGA can't do well very useful on VGA devices.

It also seems like there's always been a strong inclination by some to want to shrink screens to make devices smaller despite the fact that often there's tons of potential screen real-estate wasted between the screen and the device edges. This is pure lunacy imnsho (no offense).

Let's start stretching the screen to the device edges so we can have 3.5" and larger screens on small devices, where VGA makes a huge difference, not recognized in this comparison of 2.8" screens. Comparisons like this miss the picture entirely and thwart progress. Instead of saying, "thptpt! no good." we should demand that screens be stretched to device edges so VGA can provide some serious benefit.
