As the XL's screen is physically bigger, however, it means those pixels are spread out over a wider area,
reducing the pixel density.
The resolution has been reduced from 2560 × 1440 pixels to 2048 × 1536 pixels, but in regular usage
the reduced pixel density doesn't make any difference unless you're looking at the screen up close.
The Moto G received an upgrade to the display, at least in terms of size, with the latest iteration featuring a 5 - inch IPS LCD display, but retaining the 720p resolution from the original, resulting in
a reduced pixel density of 294 ppi.
The increment in the screen size with the unchanged resolution has
reduced the pixel density to 294ppi but the difference is quite low that users can not even judge by their eyes.
Doing so would
reduce pixel density from the 132 pixels per inch (ppi) or 264 ppi Retina on the current iPad to approximately 99 ppi (198 ppi Retina), making icons and other interface elements extremely large.
The same resolution was quite lauded on some previous mid-range smartphones, including the Xiaomi Mi 4 and Asus Zenfone 2, but the large size display has
reduced the pixel density to 400ppi.
The resolution, at 1280 x 720, remains the same however, resulting in
a reduced pixel density of 294 ppi.
