Android 17 controller and multitasking upgrades matter for gaming

Android 17’s wider gaming-adjacent improvements include controller support, multitasking bubbles and foldable/tablet usability upgrades.

Mobile gaming hardware is not just chips anymore. It is layouts, inputs, OS polish and fewer reasons to carry extra plastic.
