I've considered getting a larger Android tablet for the purpose of playing games on GamePass /xCloud with a paired xbox controller. It works quite well on my phone, but the screen is kind of small or my eyes are bad. The piece missing for me, currently, is the lack of vibration support. I did not appreciate how many tactile cues today's games have until it was missing.
For example, in Sea of Thieves, there is a "clunk" vibration when your ship's wheel is centered. It's very difficult to grab the wheel and straighten your heading without the clunk. Visually, the wheel had a center spoke which looks different than the rest, but the wheel rotates several times in a given direction before stopping.
If they ever add vibration support, I may purchase an Android tablet with a larger screen.

As far as I know, [there is still no tablet-sized controller with proper analog triggers](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZF-wWUSq3Cc#t=12m10s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZF-wWUSq3Cc#t=12m10s). >The piece missing for me, currently, is the lack of vibration support. My understanding is that this is an Android issue. Nvidia added vibration support for Shield TV, its Google TV box, but vibration only works on a) GeForce NOW with b) the 2017 Nvidia game controller. Not the 2015 controller, not Xbox One controller, not xCloud, etc.
- fullstop 5y agoI would be propping the tablet up on a table and using an Xbox one controller. I do this with my phone (OnePlus 7t) today, but the screen is a bit small. I'm just waiting for some sort of vibration support before I get a tablet, knowing that it's an Android issue and that a specific Android version may eventually be required in order to use it.
