Canonical layouts — Navigation components

The large screen canonical layouts ensure an optimal user experience on all large screen form factors—tablets, foldables, ChromeOS devices—while also supporting all phone sizes. Navigation rail and drawer components provide out-of-the way navigation for UI convenience and control.

Canonical
Enables one-tap/one-click access to descriptive, explanatory, or other supplementary information for content organized in lists.
Canonical
Arranges content elements in an expansive grid, associating elements by size and placement, drawing attention to elements using proportion and scale.
Canonical
Organizes apps into primary and secondary display areas to keep content uncluttered and tools, options, and settings close at hand.
Navigation
Complement the canonical layouts by positioning primary navigation destinations within easy reach while occupying a minimum of screen space.

Differentiated experiences

Large screens enable user experiences not possible on small screen phones. Large screens make multitasking, drag and drop, picture-in-picture mode, and stylus input more practicable and productive. Foldables in tabletop and book posture create a user experience no other device can duplicate.
