Description

**Description:** Full description of issue here

In M3's documentation, dialog container has a max width of 560dp on large screen devices. However, when we test the MaterialAlertDialog on different tablets, we find that this isn't always true. Especially on Lenovo, Oppo tablets, we often find these dialogs to be much smaller, at around 450dp width. Why is this so?

**Android API version:** 34

**Material Library version:** com.google.android.material:material:1.12.0

**Device:** Device on which the bug was encountered here
Lenovo Tab M10 Plus Gen 3
Oppo Pad 2

Research direction

Start by reproducing the MaterialAlertDialog behavior on the Lenovo Tab M10 Plus Gen 3 and Oppo Pad 2 with Android API 34 and Material library 1.12.0. Compare the observed width with the M3 documentation's 560dp maximum, then determine what behavior or documentation change would define the issue as fixed.
