I have always used 576...( I use a larger font size)
The only app that caused trouble is Samsung keyboard but I use SwiftKey anyways... Swift key beta can be resized specifically to your needs...
With 576 I have never seem tablet mode
Just tested.... Default samsung won't turn to tablet mode with any dpi change...

too bad we cannot maximize the use of our screen size... really would love tablet mode....

So, usually I use 500 DPI min width because that is the lowest DPI I can set that fools Beautiful Widgets into thinking I have a tablet. That way I can use the larger tablet widget. After comparing things with a screenshot today, im using 549dp now as the keyboard fits better.

But I set my phone back to 600 again and I was able to use chrome beta, chrome, Google phone, settings, Gboard.


Please note I only have Samsung files and Samsung note left installed when it comes to Samsung's apps, the rest have been uninstalled and replaced with googles version. I got tired of using 2 app stores to keep apps updated, and Samsung apps scaled terribly.

At the 3nd I also attached a picture of what 500 DPI looks like 9n google chrome. Seems every app has its own value that transitions design from phone to tablet. I prefer the phone layout of Chrome with DUET enabled so that the menu bar is at the bottom.

Fun Fact, you can force dark more on chrome using chrome://flags on Android.
thanx sir for the help... nice find with the tips

at 600 dpi... gboard layout is very much different.which i think is not gud (my opinion)

thanx for the screenshots bdw ?
