Aspect Ratio and Content resolution

---

The screen is 1280x800
The content displayed is 99% of the time going to be 1280x720
The content area in between the tablet bar and notifications bar is 1280x720

They did this to allow for a full 720p content area.

In portrait orientation, it's 800x1280 with a content area of 800x1200

Thanks for this information, but surely in portrait mode the bottom few rows of pixels will be taken up by buttons, so really it will be something along the lines of 800x1200, rather than 720x1280?

I would much rather 800x1200 than 720x1280, as few desktop backgrounds floating around the internet have more than 1200 pixels vertically.

I'm fairly certain jptech meant 800x1200 (leaving 40px for notification bar at top and 40px for nav bar at bottom) in portrait.

I think the smart thing to do, which I hope is what Google did. Is to remove the buttons on the bottom when playing video, only bringing them up when you tap the screen.

Thanks, fu**ing math

Actually if you look at the screen shot here: MobileSyrup , you can see that they both disappear when playing video.

They're supposed to disappear.

But that video looks like 2.35:1 so it's not a good judge. I'd like to see a photo of the n7 playing native 720p video.
