How to read this
- Pixel density (ppi) is how many pixels fit in one inch. Resolution alone cannot tell you — you have to divide by the diagonal.
- The same 4K is 163 ppi on a 27" monitor and 68 ppi on a 65" TV. That is more than double, but a TV is watched from far away, so it does not matter.
- The distance at which pixels vanish comes from one arcminute, the limit of human sight. Once a pixel looks smaller than that, no eye can find the grid.
- Aspect ratio is width and height reduced to the simplest whole numbers. Modern phones are 19.5:9 or 20:9, so 16:9 video leaves black bars on the sides.
Frequently asked questions
Q. What is the Pixel 8 screen resolution?
1080×2400 pixels — 2,592,000 in total, about 2.6 megapixels, which puts it in the FHD+ class.
Q. What is the pixel density of the Pixel 8?
424 ppi. That is the diagonal in pixels of a 1080×2400 grid divided by the 6.2" diagonal of the panel, and it makes each pixel about 59.8 micrometres across.
Q. How big is the Pixel 8 screen in millimetres?
64.6 mm wide and 143.6 mm tall, worked out from the 6.2" diagonal and the 9:20 aspect ratio. The visible area is roughly 14.4 square inches.
Q. How far away do pixels stop being visible on the Pixel 8?
About 20.6 cm. That is where a pixel subtends less than one arcminute, the limit of human sight — closer than that and the grid starts to show.
Q. What aspect ratio does the Pixel 8 use?
20:9 (exactly 9:20), with the long edge 2.22× the short one. It is taller than it is wide, which suits a device you hold in one hand.
