With the advent of computers, there is no doubt that tasks that previously took forever to be made much easier. And today, thanks to smartphones, it is as if we have a small computer in our pocket. Of course, it is always worth investigating about their use, so today we show you what the “DPI”, “minimum width” or “smallest width” is on the screen of an Android cell phone .
When we visit a web page it is vital to fully understand everything that is in it, to be able to see everything that it offers us. If you want to see more completely the pages you visit from your smartphone, knowing the use of DPI well will help you greatly to achieve it. Keep reading and discover how you can take advantage of this option on your Android mobile.
What do you mean by ‘DPI’, ‘minimum width’ or ‘smallest width’
Today there is an immense amount of content on the internet . We can find web pages of all kinds, and the truth is that they have become a vital part of our day to day. This is why it is always very practical to have a laptop or PC in our home. But, what happens if we need to navigate from our Android smartphone?
Well, surely many of us have encountered the problem that, since most of the internet content is optimized only for PCs, it is difficult to see all the content available only on the small screen of the cell phone.
In these safe times we want to change the font and screen size , and that’s where DPI comes in. It is possible to change the dots per screen inch , or DPI, to be able to adjust the mobile screen and thus see the content on it more fully.
We can carry out this process from the settings of our cell phone easily and quickly. This option is called “minimum width” or “smallest width”, and is very easy to recognize. We can say that it is like putting an application in full screen , but in a somewhat different way.
How to adjust the ‘DPI’, ‘minimum width’ or ‘smallest width’?
If your intention is to take better advantage of the screen of your Android cell phone when browsing , then this is the right option for you. Of course, you should bear in mind that it is safer and easier to carry out this process from smartphones with Android 7, although you can do it from any mobile.
To be able to change the DPI setting, you have to enter the “minimum width” or “smallest width” option from the “Developer options” menu. Once there, you must enter a value greater than the one already found by default, that is, 320 dp (left), 360 dp (center), 500 dp (right).
In this way, you will be able to see a greater amount of content on the screen, with the disadvantage that it will become smaller. Of course, you should change these values gradually, with jumps of 20 each, as an abrupt jump could cause problems and even damage your smartphone.
As you will see, this is an excellent way to make the most of the space on our screen, just as it is to enable the split screen mode . Another detail that you should keep in mind is that you do well to write down or save the original DPI value , since that way you will not have problems if you want to reset the screen to its default values.
What to do if the ‘DPI’ option is found on my Android cell phone?
If, no matter how hard you search, you can’t find this “minimum width” option on your cell phone, don’t worry, it has a solution. You just have to download a file explorer application with root permissions , such as FX File Explorer, and replace “DPI_VALUE” with the value you like and feel convenient in your case.
To activate it, you just have to save the changes and restart your Android device in safe mode or normally. We hope that you do not have problems when carrying out this process, and that you can better enjoy your Android.
