Why test your site on Sony Xperia XZ?
Narrow viewport
With only 360 pixels wide, Sony Xperia XZ is among the most restrictive formats. This is where tables overflow, titles break poorly, and buttons become too small.
3x density
Each CSS pixel of Sony Xperia XZ is rendered by 3 physical pixels. Any image, icon, or font provided in simple resolution appears immediately blurry.
Older hardware
The hardware of Sony Xperia XZ dates from 2016. Its processor makes costly animations, heavy scripts, and display times visible that recent devices mask.
CSS viewport resolution of Sony Xperia XZ
This resolution is what your stylesheet actually manipulates. It determines the applied breakpoint, the number of displayed columns, and the size of your images.
360 pixels in width
640 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 Sony Xperia XZ
The device pixel ratio of Sony Xperia XZ is 3. Each CSS pixel is thus rendered by 3 physical pixels, making any image provided in simple resolution immediately visible.
Manufacturer resolution of Sony Xperia XZ
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
- 1920 pixels in height
- 424 pixels per inch (ppi)
- 5.2 inches diagonal, or 13.2 cm
- Screen ratio of 16:9

These snippets are generated from the exact characteristics of Sony Xperia XZ. Copy them directly into your stylesheet or configuration.
CSS media query
Targets screens whose width matches that of Sony Xperia XZ and models of the same format.
@media only screen and (min-width: 360px) and (max-width: 639px) {
/* Sony Xperia XZ */
}Density media query
Serves high-resolution images to screens of at least 3x.
@media only screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 3),
only screen and (min-resolution: 288dpi) {
/* High-density images and icons */
}Tailwind configuration
Adds a named breakpoint at the exact width of Sony Xperia XZ.
// tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
theme: {
screens: {
'sony-xperia-xz': '360px'
}
}
}JavaScript detection
Detects format and density client-side.
const isDeviceWidth = window.matchMedia('(min-width: 360px)').matches;
const isHighDensity = window.devicePixelRatio >= 3;Meta viewport tag
Essential for Sony Xperia XZ to use its CSS viewport and not a simulated width of 980 pixels.

Mobile FIRST does not yet include Sony Xperia XZ, 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.
- 01 Install the extension — Add Mobile FIRST to Chrome, Firefox, or Edge. Installation is free and requires no account.
- 02 Open the page to test — Go to the URL to check, including a local address like localhost:3000.
- 03 Choose Sony Xperia XZ — Select Sony Xperia XZ from the list of devices. The viewport switches to 360 x 640 pixels, and the mobile User-Agent is applied.
- 04 Check rendering — Scroll, change orientation, test your forms, then capture an image or video to share.
Test your site on Sony Xperia XZ 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 Sony Xperia XZ
These 5 devices share exactly the viewport of 360 x 640 pixels and the 3x density of Sony Xperia XZ. Their CSS rendering is therefore exactly the same: what you validate on one is valid on all others.

Frequently asked questions about Sony Xperia XZ
What is the CSS viewport resolution of Sony Xperia XZ?
The CSS viewport of Sony Xperia XZ measures 360 pixels wide and 640 pixels high. This is the width to use for defining your media queries, not the manufacturer's resolution.
What is the pixel density of Sony Xperia XZ?
The device pixel ratio of Sony Xperia XZ is 3. Each CSS pixel is thus displayed by 3 physical pixels, requiring you to provide your images in 3x to keep them sharp.
What is the screen resolution of Sony Xperia XZ?
The panel of Sony Xperia XZ displays 1080 x 1920 physical pixels. This is the value reported by most analytics tools, while your CSS works on a viewport of 360 x 640 pixels.
Which devices have the same viewport as Sony Xperia XZ?
5 other models share exactly the viewport of 360 x 640 pixels and the 3x density of Sony Xperia XZ: Honor 6X, Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime, Samsung Galaxy J7 Pro, Samsung Galaxy On8, Sony Xperia X. A rendering validated on one is valid on all others.
How to test my site on Sony Xperia XZ without the device?
Install the Mobile FIRST extension on Chrome, Firefox, or Edge, then select Sony Xperia XZ. Your page displays in a viewport of 360 x 640 pixels with the corresponding mobile User-Agent, in two clicks and for free.
What is the difference with Chrome DevTools' responsive mode?
DevTools resizes the window and applies partial emulation. Mobile FIRST additionally applies the User-Agent of Sony Xperia XZ, touch events, scroll behavior, and the actual appearance of the device, and allows capturing directly usable images and videos.
Can I test a localhost address on Sony Xperia XZ?
Yes. The extension works on any URL open in your browser, including localhost:3000, 127.0.0.1, or a password-protected pre-production environment.
Do you need to buy a Sony Xperia XZ to test your site?
No. The simulation covers the vast majority of development needs at no cost. A final test on a real device is still recommended before critical production deployment, but it's no longer necessary for each iteration.
Which media query to use to target Sony Xperia XZ?
A media query on the exact width targets Sony Xperia XZ: @media only screen and (min-width: 360px). Combine it with the pixel density to precisely target this model and those sharing its format.
