I've had a group of developers working on an app that delivers HTML-based 
page content, built in a CSS & Tables construct. There is a separate 
database of content for all the different pixel density specs: hdpi, xhdpi, 
xxhdpi, mdpi, lmdpi, etc. I assumed that devices falling into a certain 
size category would pull from one of these databases. In order to verify 
which database a device was pulling from while I'm working on different 
ones, I tagged the content of each database with an identifier specific to 
its pixel density.

Today I began applying content specs to the Nexus 7 database, which is 
XXHDPI. I got the HTML display to a point I called near-perfect. Then I 
turned my attention to the Samsung Galaxy S4 (I started with these two 
devices because I have them in hand). What I discovered right away, though, 
is that the Samsung Galaxy S4 is also pulling from the XXHDPI database, the 
same as the Nexus 7. But none of the specs I've imposed on the XXHDPI data 
for the Nexus 7 are going to work for the Galaxy S4.

Is this correct, that the S4 and the Nexus 7—one a tablet, the other a 
phone—should both be pulling from the XXHDPI database? At this WikiPedia 
link, the Samsung Galaxy S4 is shown as XHDPI. Is there an "official" 
definitive listing of devices and their pixel buckets?

Thanks for any help.
