I found this dpi/ppi calculator to be useful: http://www.sven.de/dpi/ It will give you the actual physical dpi. Taking this value and then rounding it to the closet dpi bucket (http://developer.android.com/reference/android/util/DisplayMetrics.html) would be a good bet, even though the manufacturer could choose a different bucket.
