we are working on an app and always resize our drawables 5x for xxx xx x h and mdpi. We are just wondering how many phones actually use the two resolutions: mdpi and hdpi? The question is, if its still neccissary to support those. This is a question of overall size of the app. The more we can save the better. And if you guys know that for example less than 5 percent of the android market uses m and hdpi, then we would probably delete all drawables in questions.
So have you guys any idea over how many phones use what kind of dpi?
Thanks!

mdpi. Resources for medium-density (mdpi) screens (~160dpi). (This is the baseline density.) hdpi. Resources for high-density (hdpi) screens (~240dpi).
Hdpi is a 1.5:1, and can be thought of as a HD (high-definition) display. And xhdpi is 2:1, much like Apple retina displays. . The normal mdpi is based on a 160 dpi screen, which again is the same as a single pixel unit in your graphics software.
To find the DPI, look at the Software Density entry under the Display section. For the Android version, look at the OS version under the Device section. This explicitly displays the version number.
All other densities are its appropriate ratios, which is as follows: 0.75x — low-density (ldpi) 1.0x — medium-density (mdpi) 1.5x — high-density (hdpi) 2.0x — extra-high-density (xdpi)
EDIT Updated with recent stats, so you can have some data to compare :)

In March 2019 it looks like this:
As of May 2017 it was like that:
