The number of hardware devices that use x86 was never very high. Some years ago Intel had some x86 processors (Intel Atom) that were used in some Android tablets (e.g. Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.3).

However those tablets never reached a high volume on the market. And I am not sure if there is any x86 Smartphone or tablet on the market that still uses an x86 CPU.

However there is one very common use case where you encounter an "x86 Android device": The Android Emulator.

As the PC running the emulator typically uses a x86 CPU emulators that run an x86 image (instead of an ARMv7 or ARMv8/ARM64 based image) can make use of the CPU integrated virtualization techniques which result in a much higher speed.
