Why Test on Google Pixel 8?
Viewport
Pixel 8 uses a modern Android viewport that exposes layout, spacing, and navigation issues.
Pixel Density (DPR)
High pixel density exposes image quality, scaling inconsistencies and minor visual flaws.
Performance & Animations
Smooth UI is expected — rendering and animation issues stand out.
Viewport Size (CSS Resolution)
The CSS viewport defines how media queries, layout breakpoints, and responsive components behave.
For Google Pixel 8, the CSS viewport measures:
- Width: 360 px
- Height: 800 px
ℹ️ The visible height can vary slightly depending on the browser UI (Safari, Chrome, etc.).
Some analytics platforms only display the physical screen resolution (see below) instead of the CSS viewport size.
To see exactly how this viewport behaves in real conditions, you can simulate Google Pixel 8 directly in your browser using Phone Simulator.

Pixel Density (Device Pixel Ratio)
Google Pixel 8 has a device pixel ratio of 3.
Each CSS pixel is rendered using 3 physical pixels, resulting in sharper text and images.
For CSS targeting:
@media only screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 3) {
/* High-DPI specific styles */
}In JavaScript:
window.devicePixelRatio;
// returns: 3Physical Screen Resolution
Physical resolution refers to the actual number of hardware pixels on the display. While it does not affect CSS layouts, it is commonly shown in analytics and device specifications.
- Width: 1080 px
- Height: 2400 px
ℹ️ Physical resolution is not used for CSS layouts but is often shown in analytics tools.
