Why test your site on Xiaomi Redmi Note 8?
Very elongated screen
With a ratio of 19.5:9, Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 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, Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 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 Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 rarely matches the round breakpoints of frameworks. It is precisely between these values that layouts break.
CSS viewport resolution of Xiaomi Redmi Note 8
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.
393 pixels in width
851 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.

Mobile FIRST does not yet include Xiaomi Redmi Note 8, 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 Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 — Select Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 from the list of devices. The viewport switches to 393 x 851 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 Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 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
