Phone Screen Sizes & Aspect Ratios (2026): iPhone & Android

If you have ever dropped a phone screenshot into a slide, a store listing or a design file and watched it come out too tall, too narrow or oddly cropped, the cause is almost always the aspect ratio. Modern phones are much taller than the 16:9 shape most people still assume, and the exact pixel size of a screenshot depends on the specific model.

This guide collects the screenshot resolutions and aspect ratios of current iPhones, Samsung Galaxy S and A series phones, Google Pixels and iPads in one place. Every resolution below comes from the manufacturer's own specification pages (listed under Sources at the end); the aspect ratios are calculated from those resolutions.

What aspect ratio is a phone screen?

Most phones sold today have a screen that is a little more than twice as tall as it is wide. The short answer:

• iPhone (Face ID models): about 19.5:9, roughly 2.17 : 1. For example, 1206 × 2622 pixels on the iPhone 17.
• Samsung Galaxy S and A series: about 19.5:9, for example 1080 × 2340 on the Galaxy S26 and A57.
• Google Pixel: 20:9, which Google lists on its own spec pages. For example, 1080 × 2424 on the Pixel 11.
• iPhone SE (3rd generation): the older 16:9 shape at 750 × 1334.
• iPad: much squarer, between about 1.4 : 1 and 1.5 : 1, and exactly 4:3 on the 13-inch models.

Aspect ratios are written as long side to short side (19.5:9) or as a decimal (2.17 : 1). Both describe the same shape. What matters in practice is that a 19.5:9 or 20:9 screenshot will not fit a 16:9 slot without bars or cropping, and it is too tall for some store listing rules, which we cover in the Android section.

Screen size in inches does not tell you the ratio. A 6.3" iPhone 17 and a 6.3" Pixel 11 have the same diagonal but different shapes, because the Pixel is slightly taller and narrower.

iPhone screenshot sizes

An iPhone screenshot is saved at the display's full native resolution, so the screenshot size is the same as the screen resolution in Apple's tech specs. The table covers the iPhone 15 generation onwards plus the current iPhone SE. Portrait is width × height; landscape is the same pixels rotated.

^* Apple's iPhone tech specs list the iPhone Duo's inner display as 1878 × 2670 pixels, while App Store Connect lists 2007 × 2853 for inner-display app screenshots. We have used the tech-spec figure here; if you are preparing App Store assets for the Duo, follow App Store Connect.

A few patterns make this table easier to remember. Since the iPhone 16 Pro, every 6.3" model (16 Pro, 17, 17 Pro, 18 Pro) shares 1206 × 2622, and every 6.9" Pro Max shares 1320 × 2868. The "e" models reuse the older 1170 × 2532 panel. The iPhone Air sits in between at 1260 × 2736.

App Store listings group these phones into display classes rather than asking for every model. The 6.9" class accepts 1320 × 2868, 1290 × 2796 and 1260 × 2736, for example. If you are preparing store assets rather than slides, our guide to App Store screenshot sizes and best practices walks through which sizes are required and which Apple scales down automatically.

Android screenshot sizes

Android is less uniform than iPhone, but the current Samsung and Google flagships fall into a few clear groups.

Samsung Galaxy S and A series

Samsung quotes screen sizes in centimetres on its product pages; the inch values above are converted from those figures and rounded to one decimal place.

Google Pixel

Two things are worth knowing about Android screenshots:

• Screenshots follow the current display resolution, not always the panel maximum. Phones with a Quad HD+ panel, like the Galaxy S Ultra and S+ models, have a Screen resolution option under Settings → Display. If it is set to FHD+, screenshots come out at 1080 × 2340 rather than 1440 × 3120. The aspect ratio stays the same; only the pixel count changes. If you need exact dimensions, check the file itself.
• Raw phone screenshots can be too tall for Google Play. Google Play requires that a screenshot's longer side is no more than twice its shorter side. A 1080 × 2424 Pixel screenshot is 2.24 : 1 and a 1080 × 2340 Galaxy screenshot is 2.17 : 1, so both are over that limit as-is. You need to crop them, or place them on a 9:16 canvas. Putting the screenshot inside a device frame with PhoneShotter is one quick way to get a shape that fits.

iPad screenshot sizes

iPads are included here because they come up constantly in presentations and App Store listings, and their shape is very different from a phone's.

The 13-inch iPad Pro and iPad Air are exactly 4:3. The 11-inch models and the iPad mini are a bit taller than that. If you are placing iPad and iPhone screenshots side by side, expect the iPad to look almost square next to the phone.

Portrait vs landscape dimensions

Portrait and landscape screenshots have the same pixels, just swapped. A 1206 × 2622 iPhone 17 portrait screenshot becomes 2622 × 1206 in landscape. The aspect ratio is the same in both orientations; it is just written the other way round (9:19.5 instead of 19.5:9).

When people search for "phone portrait dimensions", they usually need one of two things:

• Designing a full-screen image for a phone, such as a wallpaper or a story graphic. Use the portrait resolution of the target phone from the tables above. If you are targeting many phones at once, 1080 × 2340 covers most current Samsung phones and is close to the iPhone shape.
• Designing content that will be viewed on phones, such as social video. This is usually still produced at 1080 × 1920 (9:16). Modern phones show it with small bars or a slight crop because the screen is taller than the content.

In slides the orientation question is about layout rather than pixels. A portrait phone in a 16:9 slide leaves a lot of horizontal space, which is useful for captions or for showing two or three screens side by side. A landscape phone fills the width but becomes very short. For most app features, portrait with a short caption reads better.

Safe zones: notch, Dynamic Island, home bar

The rectangle in the tables above is not all usable space. Hardware and system UI cover parts of it, and anything important that sits under them will be hard to see in a screenshot or mockup.

• Dynamic Island: the pill-shaped cutout at the top-centre of every current iPhone listed above except the iPhone 16e and 17e. It sits within the status bar area, so top-centre content is always partly covered.
• Notch: the iPhone 16e and 17e still use a notch at the top of the screen instead of the Dynamic Island. The iPhone SE has neither; it keeps a home button and bezels above and below the screen.
• Home indicator: the thin bar at the bottom of Face ID iPhones. Apps should keep interactive controls clear of it.
• Android camera cutouts and navigation: Galaxy and Pixel phones use a small camera cutout near the top of the screen, and most people use gesture navigation, which shows a handle at the bottom.
• Rounded corners: every phone above has rounded display corners, which clip anything placed tight to the edge.

For app and web developers, the right approach is to use the platform's safe-area information instead of hard-coding margins. On iOS that means the safe area layout guides; on the web it means the CSS env(safe-area-inset-top) family of values; on Android it means window insets and display cutout handling. The exact insets change between models and orientations.

For presentations and mockups, the practical rule is simpler: when you choose a screenshot to show, make sure the thing you want people to look at isn't in the top status-bar strip or at the very bottom edge.

How to put a screenshot in a device frame

A raw screenshot in a slide or document often looks unfinished. It floats without context, its rounded corners are missing, and its tall shape is awkward next to text. Placing it inside a device frame fixes all three. The frame shows people what they are looking at, and it gives you a shape that is easier to lay out.

The quickest way is to use a browser tool:

1. Take the screenshot on the device, or export the screen from your design tool at the resolutions above.
2. Open PhoneShotter and paste or upload the screenshot. It runs in your browser, so the image doesn't leave your device.
3. Pick a phone, tablet or laptop frame and an angle. A straight-on view is best for detail; an angled view works well on title slides.
4. Optionally add a status bar, Dynamic Island or gesture bar overlay if your screenshot was cropped without them.
5. Copy the result straight into PowerPoint, Google Slides or Figma, or export it as a PNG.

Match the frame to the screenshot's aspect ratio. A 20:9 Pixel screenshot in a 19.5:9 iPhone frame has to be cropped or letterboxed slightly, so use the tables above to check the source device if a mockup looks stretched.
