i read about the iphone doing the same but i have no clue

ya read that too on gsmarena.. hope they fix it by release time.

It isn't a really terrible issue,but i can't help but keep wondering what's the reason for that zoom.
It wasn't solved on iphone 4 so i guess there's a "deep and technical" reason beyond that.

Maybe the 1080p doesn't divide well into the 8 megapixel camera for easy conversion, so they make the viewable area slightly smaller so it is a nice multiple of the 1080p, because the processor can't handle the load otherwise. Shot in the dark.

Could it be that you can't display a full 1920x1080 video in a 800x480 screen?

i doubt it because you cannot display full 720p either ie 1280x720 but it doesnt crop/zoom that image when you video record..

No it doesnt. Double tap your screen and it zooms out.

Naturally it is so and also logical !

How should a 800 x 480 pixel screen show full resolution of 1080 p ? It is not possible physically. Only via HML on the TV-screen You will have full HD res.
