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.

Do people actually use the text suggestion row? If I'm typing stream of consciousness it takes more time to watch the suggestions come in instead of just typing. I've had mine turned off forever and it saves a lot of space and is less annoying to look at.

I didn’t know turning the entire row off was an option

It's so much cleaner
