Are there xxxhdpi density devices?

Android devices screen density increases (see https://github.com/paulvi/displayclasses) and there are already devices with density higher than xxhdpi (extra-extra-high) ~480dpi

like Samsung Galaxy S6 577 2560 1440

(But I cannot check if it is really xxxhdpi)

Is it time to prepare 192x192 icons?
(4x times 48x48 dp, see http://developer.android.com/design/style/iconography.html )

See also Android Official Icons for XXHDPI and XXXHDPI

UPDATE: Was asked a year before as Android xxx-hdpi real devices

Also Nexus 6 and Nexus 9 Screen density

New phones already use XXXHDPI. Our test phone Samsung S6 Edge use xxxhdpi drawable resources. Someone already mentioned that Nexus 6 also using this dimension. Thus new phones with good screen should use this dimension.

Actually, no, even as of 2016, there are still no xxxhdpi device.

The largest resolution on Android device is used by Xperia Z5 Premium (4k on 5.5", or roughly 806ppi), and even on that device, it was only used that humongous screen density for multimedia contents. The UI itself was rendered by halving the effective density by two, so it actually scales down from 4k to full HD on 5.5", or xxhdpi.
