TIER 1 — Large screen differentiated
Apps differentiated for large screen devices support drawing, writing, and
erasing with a stylus. Users can drag and drop content within an app and between
apps (in multi‑window mode) using a stylus. Apps support stylus input in
note‑taking apps.
Differentiated apps support advanced stylus features, including:
- Low latency and motion prediction for real-time responsiveness
- Pressure sensitivity for variable-width strokes
- Tilt detection for shading
- Palm and finger rejection to handle inadvertent screen touches
