Lumia 920 text not as crisp as iPhone 4?

GUYS IT'S THE FREAKING FONT, just wait until Chrome (hopefully) gets released for WP8 because IE is seriously lacking. Mine also has troubles saving login information and passwords

Amen.

sorry what I was describing above in the first post is not the actual rendering of the font, or the PPI. My issue is with the glass.

We compared the iPhone 4 and 5 and the L920 yesterday and even the Apple fanboys agreed that the L920 had a better screen with clearer text and better colors...

Nope, it's a mobile computer with phone capabilities.

My daily driver is an iPhone 5 and my work phone is an iPhone 4S. The font rendering on iOS is better compared to anything on my Lumia 920.

The Iphone is so overrated and in my opinion its a fad! All the kids in school want them and now the parents are getting them. I was never impressed by apple at all in fact I know more people that dislike their Iphone then ones that actually like them. I not totally knocking the Apple experience but they are just another smart phone. Its quite possible when Rim launches Blackberry 10 we will see a whole new platform that's attracts millions of new users and converts.

I have to agree that the Lumia 920 text is not as crisp comparing it to the iPhone 5 (don't have iPhone 4 to compare it with).

I don't have either to compare but what is that makes the iphone 5 text crisper? Whiter background? Font style? That clear type stuff Microsoft claims make their font on low resolution displays retina?

I mean there is technically a reason if true and it is not ppi because the 920 has a higher one and it shouldn't be aspect ratio since 15:10 is similar to the 3:2 of the iphone 4s and the 16:9 should make the text on the iphone 5 appear tall and skinny possibly affecting how text looks.

It's also not an e-reader, this is seriously petty picking. It's like complaining that my car doesn't haul a trailer as well as my truck.

Not sure what you looking at. My Lumia 920 text look just as good than my Wife iPhone 4S. My wife want the Lumia and she is an iPhone fan for last three generation.
