It just told me 2MB limit so I couldn't fit two on one post. p.s. (shoulda read the last page of the thread before replying, didnt notice it, and no delete option here or I'd just remove it. But yeah too lazy to resize or host elsehwere, just copy img from another tab and paste directly into msg here ctrl+v).

Uncledingo 25 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 I’m sure most of you had seen this concept rendering. Although it is not an actual physical keyboard it is a good looking phone. If it ever did get released I would probably pick one up just for keepsake. And incase my pro1 ever dies I don’t know about you guys but I sure miss home buttons. Not a fan of finger print scanners and all touch screen phones. Don’t care about screen bevels and camera/mic/flash notches. Still holding out for a sidekick/ or original style Motorola Droid but obviously with modern os. Is it just me or are they over doing it with phones now? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Is it just me or are they over doing it with phones now? Looks nice 🙂 Though I personally prefer the tilted type like he Pro1, and these renders are very optimistic on how far they let it slide, I would fear for how fragile that would be. And at first look it would be harder than the Pro1 to open without screen interaction, as you can not lift, and there is nowhere left to push. But one could go for motors of course. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Uncledingo 25 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Good points. I am not a fan of curved screens so if it had a standard one with a lip all would be fine. Personally I prefer the flat slide but hey, maybe in a month I’ll be used to my pro1 and love the screen tilt! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

zurvan2 125 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 That phone is missing most of the useful keys from the keyboard! Most of my interaction with the Pro1 keyboard is using the keys "around the edges" so to speak. All the meta keys like tab, escape, control, alt, etc. A keyboard isn't a useful keyboard if it's not a full keyboard. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was going to say the same thing. I would have no problem if they wanted to have dynamic display technology on the top of the keys. That would also be efficient from the perspective of manufacturers, so they wouldn't have to have different hardware keys. But the keys would need to be like the ones on the Pro1, where they are staggered, rounded on top, spaces in between, rounded corners on the keys, etc. There would need to be an override to put it back to the stock keyboard in any apps where the apps decide to re-write the keyboard too (last picture). Ideally, the norm would be that the keyboard could have a default layout across all apps, but end users could override that for custom layouts per app. The app makers could also provide a custom layout, but the end users would be able to override it. The only thing the above concept (from the pictures, where they aren't hardware keys) solves when compared to a normal, virtual keyboard is that it doesn't take up screen space when typing. Typing would still be just as bad as a virtual keyboard, other than possibly being able to hold the phone better while typing with thumbs. Swype typing would be worse with the screen out and doing it on the exposed keyboard than on a regular slab phone. I must have cursed out Steve Jobs 10 times while typing this. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hence why my Droid 4 (using it now) gets 10x the use that my PRIV gets. :) Well, that and the Droid has the keyboard the correct direction. :P Quote Link to post Share on other sites
_DW_ 628 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I took it as the bottom panel was a complete touch sensitive e-ink area. And basically you could put anything there 🙂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
