Android DPI concept

Android uses standard density buckets such as ldpi and mdpi to adjust display density.

Using density buckets prevents Android from using every possible DPI.

To simulate a custom device, check the real density used by Android for the physical device.

Then edit the virtual device display settings to match that density.
