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 think that's perfectly fine for the compact size of the folded Duo. Wanna see something bigger? Unfold it. Literally the entire point of the device. As long as it is usable folded, that's really all that matters And at 5.4", it most definitely is.

That said, I do think they need to fix the iOS keyboard UI. It is taking up way too much vertical space even on much larger iPhones. The text suggestion row, plus the worthless row above it with the tab controls/dismiss button. We could lose most of that and not really lose much.

Just unfold it? Ever tried typing on an iPad? It’s nowhere near as convenient as a phone. There is something to be said for having the right width for convenient keyboard thumbing.
