Correct way to declare for handsets only in manifest

After searching the many old answers on stack overflow about this subject and not finding a definite updated answer i am still a bit confused! my minSdk is 14 and want to make my app for handsets only however if i do this 

<compatible-screens>
    <!-- all small size screens -->
    <screen android:screenSize="small" android:screenDensity="ldpi" />
    <screen android:screenSize="small" android:screenDensity="mdpi" />
    <screen android:screenSize="small" android:screenDensity="hdpi" />
    <screen android:screenSize="small" android:screenDensity="xhdpi" />
    <!-- all normal size screens -->
    <screen android:screenSize="normal" android:screenDensity="ldpi" />
    <screen android:screenSize="normal" android:screenDensity="mdpi" />
    <screen android:screenSize="normal" android:screenDensity="hdpi" />
    <screen android:screenSize="normal" android:screenDensity="xhdpi" />
</compatible-screens>

What about phones like the galaxy s4 s5 s6 and s6 edge! would they not fall into the large category? and if so how would this be declared without opening support for the tablets?

I used the following in my code and it works just fine in Google Play.

<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.telephony" android:required="true" />

Try this

<compatible-screens>
        <screen android:screenDensity="ldpi" android:screenSize="small" />
        <screen android:screenDensity="mdpi" android:screenSize="small" />
        <screen android:screenDensity="hdpi" android:screenSize="small" />
        <screen android:screenDensity="xhdpi" android:screenSize="small" />
        <screen android:screenDensity="480" android:screenSize="small" />
        <screen android:screenDensity="640" android:screenSize="small" />

        <screen android:screenDensity="ldpi" android:screenSize="normal" />
        <screen android:screenDensity="mdpi" android:screenSize="normal" />
        <screen android:screenDensity="hdpi" android:screenSize="normal" />
        <screen android:screenDensity="xhdpi" android:screenSize="normal" />
        <screen android:screenDensity="480" android:screenSize="normal" />
        <screen android:screenDensity="640" android:screenSize="normal" />
    </compatible-screens>

I got supported android density values from https://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html (Range of screens supported)

but I'm not sure that it will work for Sony Xperia Z5 Premium, because its density 801dp (http://dpi.lv/#3840×[email protected]″)
