Get started with large screens
Large screens expand your app development opportunities. The large screens of tablets, foldables, and ChromeOS devices showcase content, facilitate multitasking, and enable user interfaces not possible on small screens.

Build for everyone…
Large screen devices are a fast growing market segment. Enable your app to run on all large screen form factors in addition to standard phones. Make your app available to as many users as possible. Build for every device, for everyone.
App quality tiers
The quality guidelines are organized into three tiers: Large screen ready, Large screen optimized, and Large screen differentiated. Add large screen capabilities to your app by progressively working through the tiers, starting with Large screen ready. If you have an existing app, use the quality guideline tests to determine the tier your app supports, then implement features tier by tier until your app is uniquely differentiated for large screens.
Tier 3
Large screen
ready
Expand your app's possibilities on large screens. Support portrait and landscape device orientations and multi-window mode. Create layouts that fill the available app space.
Tier 2
Large screen
optimized

Tier 1
Large screen differentiated
