When designing for adaptive layouts on the round screen, scrolling and non-scrolling views each have unique requirements for scaling UI elements and maintaining a balanced layout and composition.
The images below are broad suggestions; examples are for illustrative purposes only. View each component or surface page for detailed, contextual and responsive guidance.


## More content at a glance

Responsive layouts allow for more chips, cards, lines of text, and buttons to fit on a single screen.

## More content elements visible

Use new layouts, applied at defined screen size breakpoints, to allow for the
introduction of content when possible, giving the user additional value on
devices with larger screen sizes.

## Improved glanceability

Use extra screen space to provide larger containers, larger text, thicker rings, and more granular data visualization for better glanceability.

## Improved usability
