Why test your site on Samsung Galaxy J6?

Narrow viewport

With only 360 pixels wide, Samsung Galaxy J6 is among the most restrictive formats. This is where tables overflow, titles break poorly, and buttons become too small.

Older hardware

The hardware of Samsung Galaxy J6 dates from 2018. Its processor makes costly animations, heavy scripts, and display times visible that recent devices mask.

2x density

With a density of 2x, Samsung Galaxy J6 provides a useful benchmark to ensure your images remain sharp without serving unnecessarily large files.

CSS viewport resolution of Samsung Galaxy J6

This is the width your CSS considers. All your breakpoints and media queries compare to this value, not the number of physical pixels on the panel.

360 pixels in width

740 pixels in height (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 Samsung Galaxy J6

The device pixel ratio of Samsung Galaxy J6 is 2. Your images should therefore be exported 2 times larger than their display size, otherwise they will appear softened on this screen.

Manufacturer resolution of Samsung Galaxy J6

This is the actual number of pixels on the panel. This value does not affect your layouts, but it's the one reported by technical specifications and most analytics tools.

  • 720 pixels in width
  • 1480 pixels in height
  • 293 pixels per inch (ppi)
  • 5.6 inches diagonal, or 14.2 cm
  • Screen ratio of 18.5:9

Media queries and code snippets for Samsung Galaxy J6

These snippets are generated from the exact characteristics of Samsung Galaxy J6. Copy them directly into your stylesheet or configuration.

CSS media query

Targets screens whose width matches that of Samsung Galaxy J6 and models of the same format.

@media only screen and (min-width: 360px) and (max-width: 739px) {
  /* Samsung Galaxy J6 */
}

Density media query

Serves high-resolution images to screens of at least 2x.

@media only screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),
       only screen and (min-resolution: 192dpi) {
  /* High-density images and icons */
}

Tailwind configuration

Adds a named breakpoint at the exact width of Samsung Galaxy J6.

// tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
  theme: {
    screens: {
      'samsung-galaxy-j6': '360px'
    }
  }
}

JavaScript detection

Detects format and density client-side.

const isDeviceWidth = window.matchMedia('(min-width: 360px)').matches;
const isHighDensity = window.devicePixelRatio >= 2;

Meta viewport tag

Essential for Samsung Galaxy J6 to use its CSS viewport and not a simulated width of 980 pixels.

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

Free Samsung Galaxy J6 simulator

Mobile FIRST does not yet include Samsung Galaxy J6, but a model with the same format is available. You can already validate your breakpoints and display density.

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 Samsung Galaxy J6 — Select Samsung Galaxy J6 from the list of devices. The viewport switches to 360 x 740 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.

Test your site on Samsung Galaxy J6 directly in your browser, without buying the device.

  • Over 70 devices included, including a model with the same format
  • Real viewport, User-Agent, and touch events
  • Also works on localhost and in pre-production
  • Exportable screenshots and videos

Models sharing the format of Samsung Galaxy J6

These 1 devices share exactly the viewport of 360 x 740 pixels and the 2x density of Samsung Galaxy J6. Their CSS rendering is therefore exactly the same: what you validate on one is valid on all others.
