Actual media queries
The 412 x 818 pixels viewport of Zebra TC78 rarely matches the round breakpoints of frameworks. It is precisely between these values that layouts break.
CSS viewport resolution of Zebra TC78
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.
412 pixels in width
818 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.

Essential for Zebra TC78 to use its CSS viewport and not a simulated width of 980 pixels.

Mobile FIRST includes Zebra TC78: your page displays in a viewport of 412 x 818 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.
- 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 Zebra TC78 — Select Zebra TC78 from the list of devices. The viewport switches to 412 x 818 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 Zebra TC78 directly in your browser, without buying the device.
- Zebra TC78 available in the device list
- Real viewport, User-Agent, and touch events
- Also works on localhost and in pre-production
- Exportable screenshots and videos
