Responsive Web Design – Device Breakpoints

There are loads of screens and devices with different heights and widths. More often than not I will use Bootstrap in the core of any builds I do and that takes care of 95% of my responsive requirements.

However knowing the following breakpoints is very useful when wanting to apply certain styles for certain screen sizes.

/* Extra small devices (phones, 600px and down) */
@media only screen and (max-width: 600px) {...} 

/* Small devices (portrait tablets and large phones, 600px and up) */
@media only screen and (min-width: 600px) {...} 

/* Medium devices (landscape tablets, 768px and up) */
@media only screen and (min-width: 768px) {...} 

/* Large devices (laptops/desktops, 992px and up) */
@media only screen and (min-width: 992px) {...} 

/* Extra large devices (large laptops and desktops, 1200px and up) */
@media only screen and (min-width: 1200px) {...}
