7", bigger resolution would be useless, and a waste of ressources tbh, it's a portable console, i'd rather have better FPS and better battery life than higher resolution with lower FPS

You can plug it to a bigger screen, so a bigger resolution could be useful

It does have a bigger resolution when connected to an external display, 800p is only for the internal one. Tech specs say "up to 8K @60Hz or 4K @120Hz" for USB-C display.

Maybe the 800p thing only refers to the console's display, as it's in the "Display" section, and it could output more resolution when plugged to an external display?

If it can't do at least 1080p on a bigger screen, it would be a deal breaker for me, to be honest. I'm considering reserving one but it would see plenty of big screen use.

but you'll have to make a bigger "portable" console as a result, and it would cost way more than $399

it's a trade off

the main selling point here is it's portable, let's not forget that

It's about the same size as a large smartphone. Having a screen with half the ppi of an iPhone would definitely be noticeable.

Looks more like the size of an 11" tablet to me, but with a smaller screen. The physical interface uses most of that real estate - which is good, because otherwise a tablet would be a superior device.
