I've found several topics on this. But none really answers my question.

Dp and dip in android. What is the difference? Is it the same thing?

This might be a duplicate but this is the first link that pops up on google when you find the difference between the 2 – Gond 27/11, 2013 at 15:12

Yes, they are the same. There is no difference, its just an alias.

Documentation:

The compiler accepts both "dip" and "dp", though "dp" is more consistent with "sp".

@LoungeKatt can you please explain a bit more? "dip" is not even mentioned in the documentation anymore and I have never seen anyone ever stating that there are "slight alteration of the size". – Phocaea 30/4, 2017 at 19:51
