On the 10" screen you have the space to display your inbox down one side of the screen, with message text alongside it. Physical size is just as important as resolution.

Harry, you don't understand.
A 1280x720px phone is a 320DP device, a 1920x1080px phone is a 320DP device, a 2560x1600px 10" tablet is a 720DP device, a 1280x800px 7" tablet is a 600DP device, a 1280x800px 10" is a 720DP device and so on.
Here's the beauty: you don't care about the physical dimensions or the pixel resolution of the device, it will fall into one of the 3 buckets and it will get a phone, 7" tablet, or 10" tablet layout - the framework takes care of it for you.
