What Android devices are small screen size and high density? [closed]

Tags:

According to the Android screen sizes and densities stats, 3.3% of devices are small screen size and high density (hdpi). What devices are these? I always thought that most small screen devices were low density (ldpi).

Just looking at the Motorola developer website, all their small screen devices are low density. Am I missing a (somewhat) popular class of devices or is the data wrong?

Closest I've run into is a Sony Xperia X10 mini. 2.5 inch screen at 160 dpi (240 x 320), so it's technically a small-screen medium-density device.

The screen is so physically small, however, that I find that it breaks the whole Android "density independence" model and I actually special case it to use smaller assets than I otherwise would for a 160 dpi screen, with the assumption that the user knows he has a tiny screen and that it is preferable that things appear tiny on it (as opposed to nothing ever really fitting).
