# dpi

> The current pixel density of the screen measured in dots-per-inch (DPI) (Read Only).

## Definition

* **Type:** Property
* **Namespace:** [UnityEngine](/engine/6000.0/script-reference/unityengine.md)
* **Assembly:** UnityEngine.CoreModule

```csharp
public static float dpi { get; }
```

### Remarks

This is the actual DPI of the screen or physical device running the application. The property returns `0` if the current DPI cannot be determined.

**Android:** On Android devices, this property uses [densityDpi](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/util/DisplayMetrics.html#densityDpi) which is a logical bucket containing a range of DPI values rather than providing an exact value. Alternatively, you can calculate the DPI value using an average of [xdpi](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/util/DisplayMetrics.html#xdpi) and [ydpi](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/util/DisplayMetrics.html#ydpi) as shown in the following code example.

While this approach might provide more accurate DPI value, some Android devices might report incorrect `xdpi` and `ydpi` values. It is recommended to account for these inaccuracies when following this method.

### Examples

```csharp
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.Android;

public class Example : MonoBehaviour
{
    private void Start()
    {
        Debug.Log("SCREEN DPI: " + GetDPI());
    }

    float GetDPI()
    {
        using var version = new AndroidJavaClass("android.os.Build$VERSION");
        var apiLevel = version.GetStatic<int>("SDK_INT");
        using var metrics = new AndroidJavaObject("android.util.DisplayMetrics");
        if (apiLevel >= 30)
        {
            using var display = AndroidApplication.currentActivity.Call<AndroidJavaObject>("getDisplay");

            display.Call("getRealMetrics", metrics);
        }
        else
        {
            using var display = AndroidApplication.currentActivity.Call<AndroidJavaObject>("getWindowManager")
            .Call<AndroidJavaObject>("getDefaultDisplay");
            display.Call("getMetrics", metrics);
        }

        float xdpi = metrics.Get<float>("xdpi");
        float ydpi = metrics.Get<float>("ydpi");
        return (xdpi + ydpi) * 0.5f;
    }
}
```
