Most popular screen sizes resolutions on Android phones

Question

I understand that Android s developer site provides information on this topic  I have already read the following three pages    Supporting Multiple Screens Screen Sizes and Densites Icon Design Guidelines   They do not give the information statistics that I am looking for  Judging from the second link  the two most important screen categories to support are normal-hdpi and normal-mdpi   The problem is that simply knowing that these two categories are the most popular is of no help to me  The website gives me a range of screen sizes and densities that go into these categories  but the ranges are quite large   I want to know what the most popular phones are in these two categories  More specifically  I am looking for the most popular resolutions in these two categories

Also  their  device dashboard  stats at   http   developer android com about dashboards index html Screens  can be pretty helpful  They are current and derived from Android Market visits

There is now official Device Metrics on the Material Design site  those metrics are a hand picked devices list  not an actual statistics  but it too can be really helpful  https   material io devices

You can see the resolutions for those categories in the Table 2  in this section  http   developer android com guide practices screens support html testing

The vast majority of current android 2 1  phone screens are 480x800  or in the case of motodroid oddities  480x854   However  this doesn t mean this should be your only concern   You need to make it looking good on tablets  and smaller or 4 3 ratio smaller screens   RelativeLayout is your friend

A blog article from Localytics  Android Not As Fragmented as Many Think  lists most popular Android sizes and resolutions   Another concern for Android developers is screen size and resolution  Of all app usage analyzed for this study  41  of all sessions came from Android devices with 4 3 inch screens  by far the most popular size  4 inch screens accounted for 22  of sessions  3 2 inch screens for 11   and 3 7 inch screens contributed 9   Resolutions were even less fragmented  however  with the most widely-seen screen resolution     800 x 480 pixels     contributing 62  of the study   s sessions  The next most popular screen resolutions were 480 x 320  14    960 x 540  6    480 x 854  5   and 320 x 240  5     Please note these statistics are from February 2012  which might be outdated today  Also  please always keep in mind that your app might be used under the inch sizes and resolutions not listed in this article  EDIT  You should also be aware that there are Android  quot tablets quot  with large resolutions  The following quote is from the same article I mentioned   Screen resolution and size are actually even less fragmented than handsets     74  of Android tablet usage takes place on 7 inch devices with 1024 x 600 resolution  22  are 10 1 inch devices with 1280 x 800 resolutions  so by taking into account two screen size resolution combinations  developers should be able to easily reach nearly all of the Android tablet market
