samsung note 2 and note 3 screen bucket


What screen bucket do the Samsung Note 2 and Note 3 report? "Normal" or "Large"?

Here are stats on the two phones:

Model   Dimensions            Density     Density Bucket    DP Dimensions
note2   720px x 1280px        265dpi      hdpi              480dp x 853dp
note3   1080px x 1920px       386dpi      xhdpi             540dp x 960dp

This post from Diane Hackborn:

...says that "large" screens are at least 480dp x 640dp, so both these phones would qualify. What I'd like to know is whether they actually report themselves as having "large" screens or if they self-identify as having "normal" screens.

Unfortunately I don't own either phone so I can't test it out myself.
