System apps are built with Makefile. They are also using the "product" attribute in the resources that is not available to 3rd party apps (and therefore not supported by Gradle).
Yes variants would help, but you'd have to manually change the resources to make it work with Gradle. There's no filters in gradle that would work. You'd need to create 2 flavors (phone, tablet) and move that resource to its specific folder (src/phone/res/values/..., and src/tablet/res/values/...)
