Flashback: Samsung tried to resurrect the hardware QWERTY with this case

11 February 2024
Unlike the Lens Cover that we looked at previously, this lasted for three generations.

Sort by:

I used this for an S8, and it worked like a charm, when writing English only..
It did not work that well for national letters beyond A-Z...

Made a post on it here https://eskerahn.dk/?p=2395
Also disassembled one....

I actually bought the keyboard first out of curiosity, and bought the phone for the keyboard, and not the other way round....

    Well some phones from past were nice some werent that much but still for people with thick fingers like me physical keyboard is a way to go.
    it foten happens to me that i press 3-4 letters at once instead of one letter and then whole text looks like a series of manuscripts written in Hieroglyphs or Sankskrt language.

      There have been lots of QWERTY phones in the past, the ones I like the most are the Xperia mini pro and X10 mini pro. Never used it but I like it.

        I would absolutely love to try one of these keyboard accessories on my phone if it had support for it. I personally don't know if I'd use it long term or not, but at the very least it's worth a try.

          I wanted to buy something similar for my Note8, but they stopped with it.
          I had additional battery and proprietary charger for Note3. It was excellent idea from Samsung and I enjoyed using it. Maybe they bring it back once when they give us exchangeable batteries again.

            would be cool to see something like this on a folding phone
