By that definition the 5" screen at 200 DPI has better resolution (i.e. resolving ability) than the 6" at 160 DPI, i.e. the 5" can resolve finer lines than the 6". Therefore the 5" should show smaller characters better than the 6".
Or you could just say that the 5" displays exactly the same characters, but smaller.

Or you could just hold the bigger one 6" further away from your eyes, for exactly the same effect.

Or you could read the bigger one through a pair of binoculars, held the wrong way round, for even higher resolution.
