32 bit puts more stress on memory requirements. the frame buffer has to be twice as large, if n9 is 16bit and iphone 4 is 32 bit, then the display type is more important than pixel bit depth. cuz the n9 kicks iphone 4 in colors and brightness. in flesh. not to a microscope.

edit: n9 displays 16m colors thus it is 24 bit. 2^24= 16.777MILLION
iphone 4 is also 24bit www.displaymate.com/iPad_iPhone_ShootOut.htm
