Need a list of android devices. One in each Screen category

Question

I'm trying to find one phone to fit in each of the categories listed on the android site : here.

Reason being is that I want to order at lest one device in each category to test layouts on. I know that I could do this on the emulator fairly easy. However, my company would like to also use physical devices and we have the budget to do so :) I'm having a hard time categorizing different phones into the different categories. Is there any such list that already exists?

I started trying to manually calculate dp based on pixels and dpi listed on gmsareana.com. I'm finding that some phones don't even seem to fall in the categories listed : here For example the LG axis (http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_axis-3731.php) after calculating the dp has the following: 438dp X 263dp. This doesn't meet the small screen size criteria (small: Screens that are of similar size to a low-density QVGA screen. The minimum layout size for a small screen is approximately 320x426 dp units. Examples are QVGA low density and VGA high density). Perhaps something is wrong w/ my dp formula? dp = (px*160)/dpi?

I think its possible that gmsareana could have bad info, but I'm still at a loss for coming up with physical devices I can order that fit into each of the major screen sizes and densities.
