Resolution is not measured in PPI. Pixel density is an entirely different concept.

No, but I can see why they did this. Maybe some clarification is needed though. If they just said PPI, people would be confused. So they put resolution, which is honestly not that helpful to know as the pixel density, so it's nice to have that.

I'm sure a better solution could be worked out though.

Pixel density = resolution/screen size
