== Unsystematic resolutions ==
Some hardware devices, smartphones in particular, use non-standard resolutions for their displays. Still, their aspect ratio or one of the dimensions is often derived from one of the standards.
<!-- === 16:9 ===-->▼
After having used VGA-based 3:2 resolutions HVGA ({{resx|480|320}}) and "Retina" DVGA ({{resx|960|640}}) for several years in their iPhone and iPod products with a screen diagonal of 9{{nbsp}}cm or 3.5 inches, Apple started using more exotic variants when they adopted the 16:9 aspect ratio to provide a consistent pixel density across screen sizes: first {{resx|1136|640}} with the [[iPhone 5]], [[IPhone 5C|5C]], [[IPhone 5S|5S]] and [[IPhone SE (1st generation)|SE 1st]] for 10{{nbsp}}cm or 4 inch screens, and later {{resx|1334|750}} with the [[iPhone 6]], [[IPhone 6S|6S]], [[IPhone 7|7]], [[IPhone 8|8]], [[IPhone SE (2nd generation)|SE 2nd]] and [[IPhone SE (3rd generation)|SE 3rd]] for 12{{nbsp}}cm or 4.7 inch screens, while devices with 14{{nbsp}}cm or 5.5 inch screens used standard {{resx|1920|1080}} with the [[IPhone 6|iPhone 6 Plus]], [[IPhone 6S|6S Plus]], [[IPhone 7|7 Plus]] and [[IPhone 8|8 Plus]]. The [[iPhone X]], [[IPhone XS|XS]] and [[IPhone 11 Pro|11 Pro]] introduced a {{resx|2436|1125}} resolution for 15{{nbsp}}cm or 5.8 inch screens, while the [[IPhone XS|iPhone XS Max]] and [[IPhone 11 Pro|11 Pro Max]] introduced a {{resx|2688|1242}} resolution for 17{{nbsp}}cm or 6.5 inch screens (with a notch) all at an aspect ratio of roughly 13:6 or, for marketing, 19.5:9.▼
▲<!-- === 16:9 === -->
Other manufacturers have also introduced phones with irregular display resolutions and aspect ratios, such as Samsung's various "Infinity" displays with 37:18 = {{sfrac|18|1|2}}:9 aspect ratios ([[Samsung Galaxy S8|Galaxy S8]]/[[Samsung Galaxy S9|S9]] and [[Samsung Galaxy A8|A8]]/[[Samsung Galaxy A9 (2018)]]) at resolutions of {{resx|2960|1440}} and {{resx|2220|1080}}, 19:9 aspect ratios with resolutions of {{resx|3040|1440}} ([[Samsung Galaxy S10|S10]]) and {{resx|2280|1080}} (S10e); and 19.5:9 with {{resx|2340|1080}} (Poco M3).▼

Keeping the pixel density of previous models, the [[iPhone X]], [[IPhone XS|XS]] and [[IPhone 11 Pro|11 Pro]] introduced a {{resx|2436|1125}} resolution for 15{{nbsp}}cm or 5.8 inch screens, while the [[IPhone XS|iPhone XS Max]] and [[IPhone 11 Pro|11 Pro Max]] introduced a {{resx|2688|1242}} resolution for 17{{nbsp}}cm or 6.5 inch screens (with a notch) all at an aspect ratio of roughly {{ratio|13|6}} or, for marketing, {{ratio|19.5|9}}.

<!-- === 18.5:9 === -->
▲Other manufacturers have also introduced phones with irregular display resolutions and aspect ratios, such as Samsung's various "Infinity" displays with {{ratio|37
<!-- === 19:9 === -->
Other phones feature an {{resratio|19|9}} aspect ratio with resolutions like {{resx|3040|1440}} (e.g. [[Samsung Galaxy S10|S10]]) and {{resx|2280|1080}} (S10e).
<!-- === 19.5:9 === -->
Even wider resolutions with the same aspect ratio of {{resratio|19½|9}} as iPhones are {{resx|3120|1440}} (e.g. [[Samsung Galaxy S24+ <S24+]] and Ultra) or {{resx|2340|1080}} (Poco M3).
<!-- === 20:9 === -->
Some phones have an aspect ratio of ca. {{resratio|20|9}} at resolutions like {{resx|2400|1080}} (e.g. [[Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite|S10 Lite]]<!--, S20 FE, S21(+), some A series (A05s, A31, A32, A41, A51, A52(s), A70(s), A71, A72, A80, A90), F54, and M series (M31s, M32, M34, M51, M52, M62), Note 10 Lite, Note 20-->) or {{resx|2408|1080}} ([[Samsung Galaxy A14|A14]]<!--, some F series (F13, F14, F23, F42, F52) and M series (M13, M14, M23, M33, M53, M54)-->)
<!-- === Foldable screens === -->
Phones with foldable displays, e.g. [[Samsung Galaxy Z series]], usually have non-systematic resolutions and aspect ratios, which are either roughly square when folded along the longer edge (''Fold'') or extremely tall when folded along the smaller edge (''Flip'').
