As already noted, there are a plethora of Android powered devices with highDPI 
screens. And heck, there is even a Windows powered laptop with “retina” screen 
(Toshiba Kirabook) if that floats your boat better, or a ChromeOS retina laptop 
(dunno if they still sells those, though).
And ultimately, if you zoom in your browser window to 200 or 250%, you’ll also 
have a pretty decent idea if your images display OK on a retina/highDPI screen.

As for that 'simulator' in the Chrome devtools - it is completely useless for 
anything (except maybe for some feelgood lalala). Remember  it displays the 
page using the same rendering engine as the version of Chrome of Opera you are 
using, which is almost certainly not what browsers in the targeted devices use.

Open this test case
http://dev.l-c-n.com/_temp/wft-003bis.html
in Chrome or Opera and display it in the devtools simulator - choose iPad or 
iPhone as profile.
You should NOT see 4 boxes side by side (MobileSafari, as does Desktop Safari, 
do not support unprefixed flexbox). The Chrome simulator does however display 4 
boxes side by side.
