I'm about to start working on some mobile Windows 8 apps, and I'm a bit confused about the recommended resolutions, sizes and ratios for supporting different devices. For iPhone, for example, I normally create mockups of 960×640px, for iPad 2048x1536px and so on. But I'm lost about size for Win8, and especially for Windows Phones.

What resolution / screen size / aspect ratio should I use for creating Win 8 smartphone apps mockups?

Joona's comment had the information I was looking for.

From Microsoft's Multi-resolution apps for Windows Phone 8:


Windows Phone 8 supports phones that have WVGA, WXGA, and 720p
resolutions.



WVGA - 480 × 800 - 15:9 - Scaled resolution: 480 × 800
WXGA - 768 × 1280 - 15:9 - Scaled resolution: 1.6x scale 480 × 800
720p - 720 × 1280 - 16:9 - Scaled resolution: 1.5x scale, 80 pixels taller (53 pixels, after scaling) 480 × 853
