20/20 isn't general if you had read a bit more of the article you would have seen this
--- Quote ---But while 20/20 vision might traditionally refer to “standard vision,” most research suggests that normal vision is actually much better than 20/20. In fact, people with normal vision usually won’t see their eyesight degrade to 20/20 until they are 60 or 70 years of age!

and in case you don't got a great vision
--- Quote ---It’s true that many people with poor or average eyesight, an iPhone 4S display held from a mere 12 inches away might appear indistinguishable from a True Retina iPhone with triple the pixel density. Likewise, it’s true that some people with a Retina MacBook Pro, from two feet away, might not be able to tell the difference between that and a True Retina MacBook Pro. Some, then, would argue that this is all pointless. Hyper-resolution for hyper-resolution’s sake, aimed at a small subset of anal retentive individuals lucky enough to have above average and even perfect vision.
...
But there’s another reason why everyone should care. Back in 2010, Japan’s NHK Science & Technology Research Laboratories discovered that across the board, the smaller the pixels, the more real an on-screen object seemed to the person viewing it, even if they didn’t have perfect vision. In fact, this effect is so profound on individuals that it eventually reaches a point where you have pixels small enough that on screen objects are completely indistinguishable from real objects.

Let me ask you this question, if there was no different between 320ppi and 400ppi, why would the OEMs be moving toward that? You might think it is because of spec sheet, but the majority have seen apple branding 300ppi as retina quality, and as you, don't believe in the gain of higher PPI. However when all that is said, I would still say they shouldn't be focusing so much on higher PPI, there are much bigger problem with the screens we are using at the moment. That is the black well more like greys, since they don't look like black at all, and the ghosting. These two are some very annoying thing about IPS(LCD), that matters a lot more than having a higher PPI than 300+. Sure there is hope in screen technology such as OLED, unfortunately OLED still have a lot of beginner technology problem, such as the blue degenerate faster than the other colors.

in terms of smoothness and performance which do you think would be better?

also if you guys know anything better than said launchers in terms of smoothness and responsiveness then go ahead and mention it, lol.
bloody000:
phone threads are bound to be filled with fanboys declaring their phones are the best phones and other phones are for faggots thereby reinforcing their delusion of "I'm smarter than you, I make better choices than you!".
kitamesume:
^actually most threads that adds any e-peen is bound to have that scenario.
anyway, so far i found some with reviews about the launchers that seems to be good.
Balancer Launcher
Nemus Launcher
Next Launcher
Zeam Launcher
LauncherPro
mrdkreka:
What about Nova launcher? it is quite a bit like apex, just faster and smoother.
