The optimal set of devices for testing Android applications?

Question

Android

There is a program for Android. It should be tested to work on most modern smartphones / tablets. What is the best sample of 4-5 devices to cover as many chipsets and versions of Android as possible?
I'm still on this:
- HTC Desire HD (Qualcomm)
- Samsung Galaxy S II (Exynos)
- Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (tablet, Tegra 2)
- Google Galaxy Nexus (Android 4.0)
- Asus Transformer Prime (tablet, Tegra 3)
PS Naturally, such a small amount of 100% is still not covered, but the closer the better.

Answer 1

Choose a device not by class, but by extension and performance
1. several extensions
2. several different processor frequencies
3. several different versions
Then you will cover everything 100%
I understand that everyone does not want to have hemorrhoids on their heads and check only on leaders, but budget there are a lot of models, and you (theoretically) lose a bunch of potential users.

Answer 2

Desire HD I would replace with something with a resolution of 960 * 540, such as HTC Evo 3D.
You can add something from budget devices, some cheap LG or Samsung, but it depends on the application being developed.

Answer 3

By the way, as practice shows, there are still cases when your devices may not be enough for testing. In such cases, you can, for example, start work on Odessa and for a couple of dollars they will test the desired function and send you a log. Sometimes you can find a complete emulator of the desired phone - up to the operator - So once we managed to overcome a bug on the Motorola Droid X from Verizon. And yesterday, in one article, I saw such a resource - fixber.com/ - there are probably more common analogues.
