pixel density

Display clarity measurement

Pixel density is the number of pixels packed into a given area of a display, typically measured in pixels per inch (PPI).

Higher pixel density means sharper images and text because individual pixels become harder to distinguish: The phone's pixel density is so high you can't see the dots.

Pixel density matters most at typical viewing distances—a phone held close needs higher density than a TV across the room.
