Responsive design notes

Use the viewport for layout decisions, the native resolution for asset planning, and the DPR when understanding how CSS pixels map to physical pixels.

Use viewport for CSS

Focus on 184 x 224 PX when planning breakpoints and layout widths.

Use resolution for assets

The native 368 x 448 PX resolution helps guide image export sizes and display sharpness.

Use DPR for scaling

A DPR of 2 XHDPI means this screen maps multiple physical pixels to one CSS pixel.
