Why test your site on Google Pixel 5?

Very elongated screen

With a ratio of 19.5:9, Google Pixel 5 displays a lot of height for little width. Sections designed in landscape become endless columns, and full-screen visuals are poorly cropped.

2.75x density

With a density of 2.75x, Google Pixel 5 provides a useful benchmark to ensure your images remain sharp without serving unnecessarily large files.

Actual media queries

The 393 x 851 pixels viewport of Google Pixel 5 rarely matches the round breakpoints of frameworks. It is precisely between these values that layouts break.

CSS viewport resolution of Google Pixel 5

This resolution is what your stylesheet actually manipulates. It determines the applied breakpoint, the number of displayed columns, and the size of your images.

  • 393 pixels in width
  • 851 pixels in height

The height remains indicative: Safari, Chrome, and other mobile browsers reduce the visible area with their address bar, which folds on scroll.

Be cautious when analyzing your statistics: some tools only report the manufacturer resolution, never the CSS viewport presented here.

Pixel density of Google Pixel 5

2.75

The device pixel ratio of Google Pixel 5 is 2.75.

Each CSS pixel is thus rendered by 2.75 physical pixels, making any image provided in simple resolution immediately visible.

Manufacturer resolution of Google Pixel 5

This is the number of physical pixels on the screen, as announced by the manufacturer. Useful for preparing your image exports, useless for your media queries.

  • 1080 pixels in width
  • 2340 pixels in height
  • 19.5:9 Screen ratio

432 pixels per inch (ppi) · 6 inches diagonal, or 15.2 cm

Media queries and code snippets for Google Pixel 5

These snippets are generated from the exact characteristics of Google Pixel 5. Copy them directly into your stylesheet or configuration.

CSS media query

Targets screens whose width matches that of Google Pixel 5 and models of the same format.

@media only screen and (min-width: 393px) and (max-width: 850px) {
  /* Google Pixel 5 */
}

Density media query

Serves high-resolution images to screens of at least 2.75x.

@media only screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2.75),
       only screen and (min-resolution: 264dpi) {
  /* High-density images and icons */
}

Tailwind configuration

Adds a named breakpoint at the exact width of Google Pixel 5.

// tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
  theme: {
    screens: {
      'google-pixel-5': '393px'
    }
  }
}

JavaScript detection

Detects format and density client-side.

const isDeviceWidth = window.matchMedia('(min-width: 393px)').matches;
const isHighDensity = window.devicePixelRatio >= 2.75;

Meta viewport tag

Essential for Google Pixel 5 to use its CSS viewport and not a simulated width of 980 pixels.

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

Mobile FIRST includes Google Pixel 5: your page displays in a viewport of 393 x 851 pixels, with the model's User-Agent, touch events, and scrolling behavior of a real mobile.

This is where the difference with Chrome DevTools' responsive mode is seen: DevTools resizes a window, the extension replicates the device's browser and allows exporting shareable screenshots and videos.

  1. 01 Install the extension Add Mobile FIRST to Chrome, Firefox, or Edge. Installation is free and requires no account.
  2. 02 Open the page to test Go to the URL to check, including a local address like localhost:3000.
  3. 03 Choose Google Pixel 5 Select Google Pixel 5 from the list of devices. The viewport switches to 393 x 851 pixels, and the mobile User-Agent is applied.
  4. 04 Check rendering Scroll, change orientation, test your forms, then capture an image or video to share.
