Why test your site on Samsung Galaxy Note8?

3.5x density

Each CSS pixel of Samsung Galaxy Note8 is rendered by 3.5 physical pixels. Any image, icon, or font provided in simple resolution appears immediately blurry.

Older hardware

The hardware of Samsung Galaxy Note8 dates from 2017. Its processor makes costly animations, heavy scripts, and display times visible that recent devices mask.

Actual media queries

The 414 x 846 pixels viewport of Samsung Galaxy Note8 rarely matches the round breakpoints of frameworks. It is precisely between these values that layouts break.

CSS viewport resolution of Samsung Galaxy Note8

This is the resolution that interests designers and developers the most, as it determines breakpoints and the definition of media queries. In practice, it's the only one mentioned in a stylesheet.

  • 414 pixels in width
  • 846 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 Samsung Galaxy Note8

3.5

The device pixel ratio of Samsung Galaxy Note8 is 3.5.

  • 1440 pixels in width
  • 2960 pixels in height
  • 18.5:9 Screen ratio

521 pixels per inch (ppi) · 6.3 inches diagonal, or 16 cm
