Precisely. It matters not a whit how big the display is. What matters
is how big the preview SurfaceView can be, after taking everything
else into account.

The Camera AOSP app appears to use DisplayMetrics once, to determine
the screen density. It does not use getHeight() and getWidth(). If it
were THE way, the Camera app would be using it; otherwise the Camera
app would not work.

DisplayMetrics seems to be infrequently used overall in the AOSP apps,
and even then is used primarily for density.
