Is there a way to create a drawable folder and a values folder to 420 dpi and 560 dpi devices? One for the 420 dpi and one for 560 dpi.

420dpi: Samsung Galaxy S5, S4, LG G5, ...

560dpi: Nexus 6, Samsung S6, S7, ...

Because in those type of devices my app not looks well. Images in drawable-xxhdpi are smaller in a device with 420 dpi. Because multiplies the width of the image x 2,625 (density). I need bigger images or multiply images x 3.

So have you tried xxxhdpi? material.io/devices and android-developers.googleblog.com/2014/10/… - Morrison Chang
Use Vector Drawables that can scale well - OneCricketeer

The solution that I've found is to create a drawable-420dpi and a drawable-560dpi folder and copy xxhdpi and xxxhdpi resources respectively.

I'm not sure that this is the best solution but It works on PIXEL XL, Nexus 5X, 6 and 6p simulators.

This is very frustrating for developers and designers too.

If you using Android Studio, you can easily create a folder width name: mipmap-420dpi and mipmap-560dpi in the folder that same with folders as mipmap-hdpi, mipmap-mdpi, mipmap-xhdpi .... You can see this picture

You can get ppi using DisplayMetrics and after getting ppi you can use IF condition and set that drawable that you need to set.
