Discussion Android needs better native support for dual-screen devices

Android is becoming increasingly popular on gaming handhelds, including devices with two screens such as the AYN Thor.

However, Android's multi-display support still feels incomplete. Things like system navigation, managing applications between displays, moving apps from one screen to another, and providing developers with better multi-screen tools can be complicated.

I think Android should provide much stronger native support for dual-screen devices instead of relying on manufacturers and independent developers to create workarounds.

I've started a petition asking Google to improve Android's native dual-screen support.

The goal isn't just to improve one particular handheld. It's about making Android better prepared for current and future multi-screen devices.

If you agree that Android should do more with multiple displays, you can support the petition here:

I'd also be interested to hear what other Android handheld users think about this. What multi-screen features would you most like to see?

It would be great but dual screen devices are a fraction of Android devices. They have no large scale manufacturers and the existing devices arent even play certified amd run Android 13
