Stupid clear image after zooming

While using the LiveView of the D3300 and pressing the magnifying glass 2 times it zooms the preview and has slight image loss as expected for zooming the image BUT after zooming by 1 more click the LiveView refreshes the preview about 2-3 times per second (instead of the 30FPS normal) and the image is WAY WAY cleaner than taking a normal photo and zooming on that level, anyone has any idea what exactly is going on?

Edit 1: Found out what is: Looks like the camera never actually views the .NEF file when browsing saved photos, rather it views a JPG version of it for some reason. Hitting twice the magnification button while on LiveView zooms on a preview that is not full 100% quality in order to save CPU usage but hitting it three times it actually previews live .NEF files thus the low frame rate.

Are you referring to the in-camera gallery option or generally speaking? Because by comparing nef and jpg photos on my computer and zooming down to 100% I can see difference.

It doesn't make any difference what device you use... except to the extent that the software builds or uses the NEF's embedded JPG... NEF files do not display. What you see on any device is a JPG.
