    usually, larger screens have higher DPIs, but that is not always the case. if you are trying to differentiate between phone and tablet screens, density is not the right way. use the following,

    • drawable: phones
    • drawable-sw600dp: 7″ tablets
    • drawable-sw720dp: 10″ tablets

    alternatively, you can use the screen size: small, medium, large, xlarge. e.g., drawable-large. from the docs,

    • xlarge screens are at least 960dp x 720dp
    • large screens are at least 640dp x 480dp
    • normal screens are at least 470dp x 320dp
    • small screens are at least 426dp x 320dp
