320dp: a typical phone screen (240320 ldpi,320480 mdpi,480800 hdpi, etc).480dp: a tweener tablet like the Streak(480800 mdpi).

600dp: a 7
tablet (6001024 mdpi).720dp: a 10 tablet (7201280 mdpi,8001280 mdpi, etc).
Some times developers use this to make more than one layout:
res/layout/main_activity.xml # For handsets (smaller than 600dp available width)
res/layoutsw600dp/main_activity.xml # For 7 tablets (600dp wide and bigger)
res/layoutsw720dp/main_activity.xml # For 10 tablets (720dp wide and bigger)

The success of Android as a mobile device Operating System (OS) has resulted in a large variety of screen sizes and resolutio ns. Here is provided a list of
example devices to show that variation.

In the following table we try to show each and every resolution for Android Devices . As such the width in pixels is the X-axis and the length or height in
pixels is the Y-axis. Obviously that swaps when the device is held in landscape orientation. Android has support for both orientations so that a correctly
programmed App will work no matter which way you hold the device. The total number of pixels in a screen is the number in the x-axis multiplied by the
number in the y-axis. The more pixels for each square inch (or centimetre) of display the sharper any images will be displayed (provided those images are
at a high resolution).
The Size column next to each device is the diagonal measurement for the device screen in inches. This table illustrates that screens with the same
resolution can be different sizes.
