Scale Emulator Size

Question

I am a beginner in Android development. I would like to know whether it is possible to scale the emulator to the real size of the screen of your cellphone. If yes, how? For example, Google Nexus 5 has screen size of 5 inches, similarly, I would also like to have the screen size of my emulator to be 5 inches, so that, the App may look exactly similar in the Emulator, as it would look in the real cellphone.

I understand that the question might be very basic, but, I have just started learning Android development. I look forward to hear from you guys, thank you.

EDIT: enter image description here

As you can see in the picture above, I would like to confirm if I check "Scale display to real size" check box, I automatically get an scale of 0.52. Does this scale automatically convert the emulator to the real screen size of the cellphone?

Checking the "Scale display real size" should scale the emulator display into the real device display size. Additionally you can set a manual scale size by,

Right click your project -> Run Configuration -> select target -> in additional emulator command line option text box, type '-scale 0.75' or any preferable size
