Take an HTC Desire with latest 2.3.3 Gingerbread for example. 1000% and there is no trace of nonaligned pixels. Thx for the ShootMe app tip to help me prove it ;).

This means that any good designer will create three sets of graphics. Looking at Android resolutions, three sets would be enough to have everything pixel-perfect. Lazy, that’s what they are. Lazy.

That’s probably why those “horrific” icons are not perfectly aligned to pixels. Iphone comes with predefined resolutions you can count on and OS is well adjusted.

Most probably icons were drawn using vector images so they can easily be scaled for various screen sizes. And probably these icons are used on a variety of Huawei phones – simply rescaling them instead of drawing pixel by pixel for each possible resolution.

So it’s not entirely designer’s problem.
