There are several supported display resolutions for Series 40 and S60 devices starting from 128x128 pixel screens of the early devices. From S60 3rd Edition FP 2 and Series 40 3rd Edition onwards, all devices support at least a 240x320 pixel resolution, also known as Quarter VGA (QVGA). QVGA resolutions are common enough to be recommended as primary MIDlet design targets.
There are two varieties of QVGA displays available. Smaller devices (less than 2.4" display) use QVGA1 while larger devices (larger than 2.4" display) use QVGA2. There are some differences between the two; QVGA1 usually has larger icons when measured in pixels and available screen space is different outside full-screen mode:

Color capacity is over 16 million colors. On a particular device, you
can determine this with system property Display.getNumColors().
