CSS Media query not working correctly

In an application am using media query to make page mobile friendly and responsive. Doc type Used

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

Included meta tags in header

<meta name="HandheldFriendly" content="true" />
        <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width;user-scalable=no" />

Included CSS

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"  href="MBE-MOBILE.css" th:href="@{'MBE-MOBILE.css.css'}"/>

Media Queries Used

@media screen  and (min-width:300px)  { 
    .heading-text{
        font-size: 20px;
        color:red;
    }
}

@media screen  and (min-width:480px) { 
    .heading-text{
        font-size: 30px;
        color:green;
    }
}

@media screen  and (min-width:640px) { 
    .heading-text{
        font-size: 35px;
        color:blue;
    }
}

In web browser this is working fine.But in some mobile browsers the media query is not working correctly.

EG: for Sony Experia which has a resolution 1080 x 1920 pixels the browser taking min-width 320 instead of 640 px.

Can any body guide me the exact usage of media query for solving this.Any Help will be appreciated.

Depends on your Sony Xperia, really.

This is a related question. Considering it as an Xperia Z or Z1, you can use:

@media screen and (-webkit-device-pixel-ratio:3) {styles}

Think of newer iPhones, they have a CSS Pixel Ratio of 2, so their width is actually 640px, but using initial-scale=1.0 we target it by using 320px. A Xperia Z or Z1 would have 1080/3, which means it is target by a @media screen for 360px.

EDIT: You can use comma-separated lists of media queries, so even with your media query for 640 px in place, you can include the other:

@media screen and (min-width:640px), screen and (-webkit-device-pixel-ratio: 3) {styles}

This allows you to keep the the initial-scale and even supports Nexus tablets with 1920 px resolution and pixel-ratio 3
