Hi,

there's a discussion going on about the color depth on the Samsung
Galaxy.

While it is advertised as having a 16 Million color display (24bpp) it
is only running at 16bpp:

    $ cat /sys/devices/virtual/graphics/fb0/bits_per_pixel
    16

Some say that it is a restriction of Android 1.5 itself which was only
capable of supporting up to 16bpp screens. Android would be down
sampling to 16bpp whatever the screen supports.

I've searched the available documentation over and over and can't find
anything like that.

As I see it Android 1.5 would indeed be capable of displaying 24bpp
images properly given that the screen is capable of and configured to
do so.

Can anyone give an authoritative answer, please?

Kind regards, Felix
