Another option is to check for the screen size classifier:

int mask = Configuration.SCREENLAYOUT_SIZE_MASK;
int size = context.getResources().getConfiguration().screenLayout;
if ((size & mask) == Configuration.SCREENLAYOUT_SIZE_XLARGE) {
    // Screen is classified x-large
}

You can use the same method to check for other screen sizes by using different values for the Configuration flag.

You can use this function to dynamically determine the width of the device:

int screenWidth=getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getWidth();

if the width>480 than it must be tab otherwise the device is android phone. Using this you can set the text dynamically according to the screenWidth.

Build.Model should tell you what model the device is.

(Alternatively, you could look at DisplayMetrics to get the screen size/resolution, which won't tell you the exact model, but will tell you whether you want your small or large layout.)
