After B-frame incident,There was chaos at the Meizu official forum,most of Meizu user change their tune to censuring J.W for going back on his words.

Maybe due to so,our capricious J.W have made another decision,price of M8 won't increased:keeping 8G 2380 yuan.

In this incident,we lost B-frame playback and 32bit color depth,got RAM extended.

But who knows?it won't happen again tommorow or the day after,then we would lost more or got more?

darkado

not a bad deal imo, most of win devices have 16bit color depth and more ram is always welcome, i'd rather have less colors and a faster device

Jubre

I can see that it says the price will be the same, but where does it say there will be a ram increase and 16bit colors?

I don't mind to be honest, the m8 still has great specs, and I would be very suprised and worried if it couldn't pull off software mode playing of videos with that processor.

DusL

How professional, changing the price twice in a week.

Uh, why did we lose 32-bit color? Not that it'd matter on a portable as LCD screens can't do true 32-bit anyway, but it would've been better for publicity.

Blah

16 bit color looks decent enough anyways. On a small screen it shouldnt really matter, and would still look good IMO.

Can the human eye even notice the difference between 16 bit and 32 bit? Is it a big difference?

roelandb

yes, it is certainly noticeable, you can see the difference best with a color gradient, you see the difference pretty good actually...
you can change the color depth of your computer to 16 bit and see for yourself.

The difference between 16 and 32 is quite big, but the difference with 24 and 32 bit is almost not noticeable.

To help you guys:

16-bit = 65,536 colours
24-bit = 16,777,216 colours
32-bit = 4,294,967,296 colours

The average computer-screen uses 32-bit for colour, 24-bit will produce "acceptable" true colours when used in pictures for example. As you can see 16-bit is clearly below the other two - take my word that you will see the difference.
But if Wong is saying the UI will run on 16, and for pictures/videos/web the hardware will push this up to 24/32 than it should be no problem. If not you got a pretty bad pmp there :P

Actually, 32bit is exactly the same as 24bit color-wise. 16777216 colors. The difference is that 32bit is able to know transparency of any pixel for the extra 8 bits. That is not a very highly used thing.

16 bit in many implementations is only actually 32768 colours, because 1 bit isn't used. That is because there are 3 color channels - Red, Green and Blue and you can't divide 16 by 3 wholly. So it's actually 15 bits really - 5 bits per channel. In some implementations tho, green gets 1 extra bit, but I'm not convinced that would be the case.

i think you can certainly see a difference between 16 and 24 bit, but to me its not really important to have 24 bit, as long as the device runs smooth and plays my videos without stuttering/desyncing/... i dont care if its only 16 bit.

darkado

ona good screen without clear gradients i think the difference is minimal

DusL

Apple didn't officialy release the amount of colours it can produce. However I'm typing this on a iTouch and I can tell that it's probably 24 bit. I never saw ugly graduents on pictures.

16 bit like winmo is a bit disappointing.

Speeder

I think it should be noticable but it should not be very bad... Plus, they could implement dithering for the display (varying pixel colours next to each other that when looking at them blend into the colour wanted to be displayed without the display itself being capable of the colour). As the M8's gonna have a very high resolution for the rather small size, that would be a pretty good effect, the pixels are small enough for it. In that case, the M8 could probably display gradients as nice as if it had a 32bit display unless looked at very closely. And of course it might not be implemented as well

Ipod touch is fCking awsome..and real..and Where is the meizu? when come out? i think never:D.. iphone 3G come out less then 18dayz..LOL :D
APPLE..thats all.

Skinny101

I agree the iPod Touch is awesome but your speaking absolute shit. Shutup

Lilzane

B frame partially works right now

Job

you can certainly see the diffrence between 16 and 32..
Just tried it with Vista and the glassy effects are very bleack in 16 and cool in 32

Traps

I just read that a while ago too

According to JW, they still can't play the H264 main profile, but at this rate I'm starting to feel confident that a software solution can be found soon.

darkado

just tried 16 vs 32 on crt mnitor cause it displays colors better and my verdict is: 16 bit is not bad at all, as i said difference is minimal
