Finally, you don't have to use two hands to text on an Android phablet
As the Android world awaits N, the latest version of the mobile operating system,
Alphabet Inc.
’s Google released some cool new phone software as a sort of
consolation: an all-new Android keyboard geared for one-handed typing.
Phablets
may be great for watching video, reading email, surfing the Web and
choosing the right filter for your group selfie. But these same massive
displays are terrible when it comes to that all-important activity,
typing.
The new Google Keyboard app, rolling out now in the
Google Play app store, addresses that need. Once installed, you give a
long press to the keyboard’s comma key, and up pops a green
phone-in-hand icon. Slide up to it, and the keyboard squeezes over to
the right. You can pin the skinnier keyboard to the left as well, so
this will work for both righties and lefties.
