Online services to test:

Strange note: all services don't support audio for Android devices..

https://www.browserstack.com/ - provide a varied list of devices. Gives 30 minutes free trial. (Doesn't include Andrea's phone, but has a very good intuitive interface but I didn't understand how to check sound)
Trial modes includes follwoing devices:
Google Pixel Android 7.1
Nexus 6P Android 7
Om both devices evrything works ok and design looks right.

https://device.pcloudy.com/pcloudy_home - 180 minutes free trials, a lot of devices but as for me overwhelmed interface and just a few devices are available in trials. Very srtange functionality with devices. This service works very slowly. I tested the app on all available for trial - app works and looks ok.

https://experitest.com/ - took a lot of time to register. Very small list of devices, need time to wait when it can be used. Tested on all devices. Evrything is ok. Service works very slow.

https://bitbar.com/ - 30 days trial. Only 2 devices Nexus 5 with differetn android versions(5 and 6). App works perfect.

https://kobiton.com/ - provides permanent trial with some limitations. 120 mins or 14 days. Comfortable interface, small list of devices in trial. App works ok.

https://appetize.io/ - 100 minutes per month, but it seems to me it uses some kind of emulators, but looks usefull. Very limited list of devices.

https://www.monkop.com/ - in beta, seems free for now. But, no manual testing, this service makes analyzing and auto testing.

https://firebase.google.com/ - for android studio projects, docs are very complicated.

Result:
I am not sure that we need this kind of testing, it doesn't help to solve some functionality issues - just help with design. Design issues can be solved in most cases with just chrom browser simulators, in some exceptions we can use https://appetize.io/, it provides a small list of popular devices.
