Ask HN: List of common user agents and screen sizes?

3 points by rahimnathwani ↗ HN
I want to grab screenshots of some web pages, as seen by common users. I know that I can use wkhtmltopdf to do this, and pass custom values for the user agent and screen size, as per the example here: https://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/issues/detail?id=596

However, I'm not so sure where I can get a list of the most common screen sizes for my country (China).

I've seen the list here (http://www.bigbossmas.com/web-development/list-of-mobile-device-sizes/) but it doesn't show the frequency, so I'm not sure which ones to pick to get my 'top 10'.

Does anyone have a list, or a pointer to a tool which will generate the screenshots for popular combos?

According to statcounter.com, the breakdown for screen size is

    1366x768  27% rising
    1440x900  16% falling slightly
    1920x1080 12% rising slightly
    1024x768  11% falling
    1280x800   7% falling slightly

Be patient. It was really slow.

As for browser, the breakdown is

    IE      40% falling
    Chrome  37% rising
    Segou    7% level
    Firefox  5% level
    Safari   3% level

Thanks. I should have mentioned I already looked at statcounter. The data for desktops is OK, but what I really want is the most common user-agent/resolution combos. It's easy enough for me to check the Apple ones, just by looking up the specs of recent models, but I don't really know what mid-range Android phone specs to target, as there are so many models.
