Looking for users with high DPI

Dusty · 08-07-2014

I'm looking for the input of players who have a very high DPI(or PPI) device. Basically, you have a small device(like an iPhone, or an android phone) but it has a very large resolution. So you'll probably notice some things look very tiny?

For example, I have a Galaxy S3, which has a very high DPI of 300 I think. So for me, on a small phone my screen sort of looks like this:

Notice the very tiny hearts and more importantly what I'm interested in, the very tiny purchase menu.

I'm looking for input from players, is this a problem? I personally don't like it, but I don't know how wide-spread the issue is. Is it an issue for iOS users(for example users that have Retina display)? Can people who have a very high DPI device post screenshots along with their specs(most importantly the DPI/PPI and screen size)?

The first is a decent size. The second makes everything too small. A happy medium would be nice, if at all possible.

My device, the NEXUS 5, has a staggering DPI of 480 (1080x1920). It's a big issues for me.

I have an HTC1 and the purchase menu and hearts are very small, I'm not sure what my dpi is.

Sadly I can't do anything about the default client interfaces(such as reading signs and the hearts icons) but I do want to fix the shop menus specifically.
