title: Why does my Galaxy Note 3 have the same DP dimensions as a much smaller phone?
body: <p>I have been reading about <code>dp, px, ppi</code> and <code>dpi</code> for awhile now, and I am lost. </p>
  
  <p>Why is it that a large phone like the <code>Galaxy Note 3</code> (with a 5.7 <code>inch</code> display) can have the same <code>dp</code> as a <code>Moto X</code> (with only 4.7 <code>inches</code>)?</p>
  
  <p>My calculation for each returns a <code>width=360dp</code> and <code>height=640dp</code>. It seems like many higher density phones fall in this range. Is this true or am I misunderstanding <code>dp</code>?</p>
  
  <p>I am using the following to calculate my values: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6465680/how-to-determine-the-screen-width-in-terms-of-dp-or-dip-at-runtime-in-android">How to determine the screen width in terms of dp or dip at runtime in Android?</a></p>
