I just ordered one. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] harry315@feddit.de 14 points 2 years ago (2 children) Fucking awesome phone. Been my daily driver for a week now. Typing is horrible, tough, and for anything serious (browsing, streaming...) you will want a bigger screen and general more build quality. Camera, sound quality, screen are all screaming low end. Super fast charging because the battery is tiny, sill good SOT because the screen is tiny too. Feels damn good to be able to use and hold your phone one handed in almost any orientation you can hold your arm in. Keyboard: AnySoftKey and a Compact layout (2 keys, 1 button) is very helpful. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] el_eh_chase@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) Have you heard of thumb-key keyboard? It's basically a 3x3 grid with swipe gestures for extra characters. I've been trying to switch to it for a bit cause I think eventually my typing will be faster and it will be a better one handed typing experience. Anyway, I think this would work well on a small screen device too, if you can get used to a whole new keyboard paradigm. It's on the IzzyOnDroid repo for f-droid. Hope this is helpful to someone! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] harry315@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) Tried ThumbKey and realized, I'm 100 % used to QWERY/QWERTZ keyboard layouts. The ThumbKey keys are not in roughly the same spots as on a regular keyboard and I just couldn't get used to this. Damn brain. I might give it another try in the future, because the idea is damn great. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] el_eh_chase@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago Yeah I had the same problem. I just had to commit to being a slow typer for a while, but I inproved quicker than I thought. Still learning tho. I keep a regular keyboard I can switch to with the button on the bottom right of the home buttons for the rare times I need to type something urgently. permalink fedilink source parent [–] PizzasDontWearCapes@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago I've been using mine since Christmas It's amazing how capable this thing is with such a tiny screen permalink fedilink source parent [–] ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 years ago Oh, cool!
