GDC: Windows Phone 7 Series: 2 Screen Sizes, 1 Aspect Ratio

Chuong Nguyen | March 9, 2010 1:45 PM

Speaking of displays and screens on Windows Phone 7 Series, we were able to speak to a representative of Microsoft and learned that Windows Phone 7 Series will support 2 screen sizes and 1 aspect ratio to make it easier for developers. Of note, 800 X 480 (WVGA) will be the big screen display on Windows Phone 7 Series high end devices. Another resolution, which our representative could not recall, will also be supported as a smaller resolution. For easy scaling of games and apps, only one aspect ratio will be supported.

The lower screen resolution support seems to stem from OEM requests.

Android, we’re now looking at you with your hardware fragmentation issues.
