Galaxy S23 Ultra — 501 ppi, 480 dpi (xxhdpi)

Galaxy S23 Ultra is a Samsung device whose display works out to roughly 501 dpi, which Android classifies as the xxhdpi bucket. Everything below is derived from the panel's physical resolution and diagonal size, so you can reproduce the numbers with a calculator and a spec sheet.

Density on the Galaxy S23 Ultra

At 501 dpi, one dp equals 3.13 physical pixels on this panel. That scale factor is what the system uses when it picks drawables from your mipmap folders and when it converts the layout values you wrote in dp into the pixels that actually get drawn.

What layout it actually gets

Because Android divides the physical resolution by the density scale, the layout does not see the full 501 dpi pixel grid — it sees a smaller box measured in dp. That is why two phones with very different resolutions can report the same dp width and lay out identically.

Practical notes

If you are designing for this device, author in dp and let the density scale handle the rest. If you are overriding density with wm density, remember that anything far from 501 dpi will make the UI look either oversized or cramped, because you are fighting the panel's native bucket.
