Responsive website showing large screen view on high pixel density mobile devices

Question

Using media query I created different views for different pixel count screens. But now on small screens with high pixel count (like iPhone5, S3, S4) desktop view is shown.

How can I show small screen view i. e. 520px view on these HD screen mobiles?

Some meta tag or whatever html that can help is welcomed.

Try adding these two lines on top of your HTML File.

<meta charset="utf-8" />
