Android spacing issue in same resolution devices 1080x1920


I am designing screen from Zeplin. (Zeplin provides each item attributes in dp)

Following is the horizontal recycler view design example with 4 items from Zeplin.

360 dp means 1080 for xxhdpi devices

dp to px

I am testing my code on two 1080 devices with different dpi

  1. Samsung c5 [1080 x 1920 pixels, 16:9 ratio (480dpi)]
  2. Nexus 5X [1080 x 1920 pixels, 16:9 ratio (420dpi)]

I am facing spacing issue in Nexus-5x, the Zeplin design works great on Samsung-c5.

QUESTION:

Why the design in different on same resolution (1080x1920) devices (different dpi). How can I make it look same on each and every device like facebook does with its status
