960 x 640 (326 ppi) compared with 480 x 320 (163 ppi)

I really cannot see the point on such a small screen. Even people with
excellent sight will need to use zoom frequently if the higher resolution is
exploited.

If each pixel is mapped to 4 pixels occupying exactly the same physical
area, surely it will look exactly the same?
