Test on the right mobile devices

The mobile and tablet landscape today is highly fragmented, spanning many devices across manufacturers and models. Supporting and testing on the maximum number of mobile devices is crucial to any website, but it can be a huge investment of time, effort, and money. Therefore, it is critical to choose the ideal list of devices to test your mobile websites.

The devices have been carefully selected to provide maximum coverage, considering such parameters as:
  • Market share and popularity
  • OS and OS versions
  • Screen sizes
  • Viewports and resolutions
  • Upcoming devices
  • Launch year
  • Manufacturers

We have gained insights from usage statistics of over 25,000 BrowserStack customers, and current global market trends. The lists are continuously updated to include latest and upcoming devices.

Using your web analytics How to use your analytics data effectively with the lists.
Device Matrix

Your audience analytics data may provide a list of top device sources for your website traffic. However, this data may not be easily accessible or accurate, if your website doesn’t have enough traffic. Additionally, this data will not include upcoming devices, and might be heavily biased towards devices in which your website works well, leaving out the others.

In case you do have significant traffic, we recommend combining top devices from your web analytics with the lists above.
