What are the aspect ratios for all Android phone and tablet devices?

I'm looking for a list of all screen aspect ratios for popular Android based Phones and Tablets.


Solution 1:

In case anyone wanted more of a visual reference:

aspect_ratio_visual_reference

Decimal approximations reference table:

Changelog:

  • May 2018: Added 56x27 === ~18.7x9 (Huawei P20), 19x9 (Nokia X6 2018) and 19.5x9 (LG G7 ThinQ)
  • May 2017: Added 19x10 (Essential Phone)
  • March 2017: Added 18.5x9 (Samsung Galaxy S8) and 18x9 (LG G6)

Solution 2:

I researched the same thing several months ago looking at dozens of the most popular Android devices. I found that every Android device had one of the following aspect ratios (from most square to most rectangular):

  • 4:3
  • 3:2
  • 8:5
  • 5:3
  • 16:9

And if you consider portrait devices separate from landscape devices you'll also find the inverse of those ratios (3:4, 2:3, 5:8, 3:5, and 9:16)
