AFAIK the Galaxy S4 falls under the large screen bucket, but then so will certain 7" tablets. You will have to decide if you want to support that size or not in order to be compatible with the S4's 5" screen.

but i dont want to show my app on the tablets so is there any way through which i can show my apps only on phone devices ? – Zahid Naqvi May 06 '13 at 14:58
AFAIK I don't think it will be possible. Do you happen to know if the Galaxy Note 2 is compatible/can download from Play store? – TronicZomB May 06 '13 at 15:00
just checked app on the Note 2 and its available there. – Zahid Naqvi May 06 '13 at 15:03
Hmmm... now that's interesting since that has a larger screen than the S4... Do you know the densities of the two screens? – TronicZomB May 06 '13 at 15:05
http://www.gadgetgestures.com/samsung-galaxy-s4-vs-sony-xperia-z-comparison-of-design-features-camera-price/8344728 Both giants have the same screen size of 5 inches, display resolution of 1080*1920 pixels and a pixel density of 441 ppi. S4 is protected by the 3rd generation Corning Gorilla Glass and the Xperia Z features scratch-resistant and shatter-proof glass. – Zahid Naqvi May 06 '13 at 15:09
I wonder if the Note 2 falls under `normal/xhdpi` and the S4 falls under `normal/xxhdpi`...? – TronicZomB May 06 '13 at 15:11
Do you know if the Xperia can download your app? – TronicZomB May 06 '13 at 15:11

I think you need to support xxhdpi devices since the S4 has a 441dpi. I believe the xxhdpi bucket starts at 440dpi.
