DON;T KNOW. I THINK BCOZ 7610 GOT 1MEGAPIXEL.

No, the _same_ pic, the same data-file, I think it�s just improvements of the hardware, the 3650 screen looks much better then the 7650 screen, and the 7610 better then the 3650. Wave of the future! :P

This is not done now if 6630 is coming its screen should be more good then 7610.
but they have Tft why the difference.

They probably don't have the same screen then (but I'm not going to crack my 7610 open to check). The contrast and backlighting is a lot better on the 7610, I'm not sure if they're using a different screen, but they very well could be.

Well, it�s not 100% sure that the 6630 screen will be greater than the 7610, it has just been some hardware improvements, and btw, "more good" = greater 🙄

There is a relatively straight-forward answer to the original question of "why the screen is different":

There are a few, different display manufacturers/suppliers in the world. They provide displays with different characteristics like resolution (or manufacture them in any resolution you want, if you can afford the price), number of colours (4K, 64K, 262K, other), brightness, technology used (TFT, OLED, whatever), etc.

For any particular model, or perhaps a "family" of models, a device manufacturer would agree to buy a display (or any other component) with a selected set of features/characteristics from one or more suppliers.

Component manufacturing is then set up to supply exactly that kind of displays.

When a new product is designed/planned, a different or newer display with more or less different features/characteristics can and often is chosen (e.g., same resolution but perhaps brighter from the user's point of view, or any other difference) from the same or different suppliers/manufacturers. Then that display is used in a new product, or several new products.

It could even be the exact same display suppliers as with the older product(s), but they have improved their product and can now be providing, e.g., similar displays as before, but brighter, using less power or just cheaper (to make, buy or both).

In the end, it may result in a situation where a consumer ends up with two different devices in their hand(s), with similar key features/characteristics (like display resolution, number of colours, same technology such as TFT, etc.), but they still look different (e.g., one looks brighter than the other).
