Pixel Fold screen size & viewport
The Pixel Fold renders web pages at a CSS viewport of 840 × 1080 in portrait (1080 × 840 in landscape).

840 × 1080 is the CSS viewport size — the coordinate space your layout, media queries and vw/vh units work in. It is not the hardware pixel count: the Pixel Fold packs more physical pixels behind each CSS pixel (its device pixel ratio), which is why images meant for it should be exported at 2× or 3×.
For a tablet this size, a layout should already be at its multi-column / tablet breakpoint.
Targeting it in CSS
/* Styles for viewports up to the Pixel Fold */
@media (max-width: 840px) {
.container { padding-inline: 16px; }
}
/* Exactly the Pixel Fold in portrait */
@media (width: 840px) and (height: 1080px) { /* … */ }
Common things that break at 840px wide
- Fixed-width elements wider than 808px (content minus typical padding) cause horizontal scroll.
- Tap targets under 44×44 CSS px are hard to hit.
- Sticky headers taller than ~15% of 1080px eat too much of the screen.
- Text set below 16px triggers zoom-on-focus in form fields on iOS.
