5 games to play on Android tablets and foldable phones
Over the past few years, Android has been redesigning its software experience for larger screens, like tablets and foldable phones. This includes working with developers to make sure apps — whether they’re for productivity, creativity or gaming — look great and make the most of the larger screen space.
Personally, I'm a huge fan of the expansive, cinematic experience that foldable phones and tablets deliver. My favorite mobile games are able to come to life on a whole new stage, where every vibrant detail and sweeping landscape can truly shine. From heart-pounding action games to intricate puzzles, every genre feels amplified on these immersive displays.
To see for yourself, here are five games that are great to play on Android’s larger screens.
1. Honkai: Star Rail
Honkai: Star Rail, named the best gaming app on tablets in 2023, brings original characters and well-balanced world-building to exciting battles that come to life brilliantly on the larger screen. With full customization options to scale graphics to the quality and frame rate of your choice and remappable controls that are intuitive and comfortable on your screen size, this game is a sight to behold on a larger screen.
2. Diablo Immortal
When you play Diablo Immortal on an Android tablet or foldable phone, your fingers cover less area on the screen so you can see more of the action. The game is also designed to work in split-screen mode, so you can multitask and use multiple apps at once on your large screen device. The game and its controls will seamlessly resize when another app is open on the screen.
3. Clash of Clans
In Clash of Clans, you can play the game on both the outer and inner screen of a foldable phone, as the game will continuously play as you unfold your device. Similar to Diablo Immortal, the game will also automatically resize if you split your screen and play while you check other apps. So go ahead and watch YouTube tutorials on how to win battles or text your friends to catch up, all without having to stop playing the game.
4. UNO!™Mobile
UNO!™Mobile now supports playing the game in landscape orientation on Android foldable phones and tablets. Enjoy UNO battles with a clearer display of UNO cards and richer graphics on the larger screen.
5. League of Legends: Wild Rift
Riot Games, the developer and publisher of League of Legends: Wild Rift, scaled the game's interface and boosted the game’s graphics to take advantage of the larger screen space and higher screen resolution. As a result, you'll notice sharper graphics and more space to tap your controls. Riot Games also made performance updates so the game runs smoothly on larger screens and reacts instantly to your touches during battles.
These games, optimized for Android tablets and foldable phones, are available on Google Play today.
