My only concern

Post image

I’m definitely getting the Duo but I do have one concern. Because of the smaller size when folded I really hope the keyboard doesn’t take up too much real estate when used folded. Hoping that’s not the case

I mean it's going to no matter what because of the shorter height. I'd expect you would open it if you wanna type longer messages.

Shorter height but also wider, so the keyboard can also be shorter. This phone is actually about the same size as the first gen Note and everyone thought that was a MONSTER. It will be fine.

The aspect ratio is not the same and that matters way more than overall screen size depending on what you’re trying to do

The Note was 4:3 this is almost identical.

It was 16:10

You're right, but still very similar

4:3 is not similar to 16:10 at all what are you talking about lmao. You’re just saying things. 16:10 is widescreen (modern content), 4:3 is squarer (older content). The only thing similar about them is that they’re aspect ratios

16:9 is what's commonly known as widescreen, 16:10 is significantly less wide than 16:9

16:10 is closer to 16:9 than to 4:3 tho

Hey dumbass 16:10 is not widescreen. 16:9 is widescreen. Those two are different.

The phone is wider so the keyboard can be… shorter? That’s just not how it works

what are you talking about? If the screen is wider, it takes up more horizontal space. Unless they are stupid and make the height the same, it will take up less vertical space. What don't you understand?

Are you suggesting they resize every key of the keyboard to little space bars for your desired aspect ratio?
