No, there are not. A 720p screen might be a de facto standard on many devices right now, but if you are designing your app for a couple of resolutions and not resolution independence, you are in for a world of hurt.
For example, the Nexus 10 has a 2560x1600 resolution. Flagship phones this year are expected to go 1080p (the same way they went to 720p from 800x480 which was the most common resolution in 2010).
There is no standard resolution. Don't count on it. End of story.

dp and dip are the same thing.
- radley 14y agoThnx. I use "dip" as special notation in my layouts and forgot they were actually dp. I will concede one big difference: a lot of designers work in Photoshop so they're dependent on pixel resolution. I do everything in Illustrator, so I rarely think pixels. If I think about resolution in old terms of strictly pixels then yeah, I'd be lost. But since I do everything in vector format, I still do my basic phone layouts at 320x480 and then scale from there.
