And will still have that awful GN3 sensor on the primary rear camera. Xiaomi were using a Sony sensor of the same size on the Redmi Note 12 Pro a phone that cost somewhere around $200-300 depending on the region it was sold back in 2022 and 2023.

Perfect, just what I wanted, to have to pull out and unroll my smartphone before each use, and then to roll it back up when finished

I’m hoping it’s spring loaded and makes that scroll “fwip-fwip-fwip-fwip” noise.

I just want a hardware keyboard… My key2 is slowly dying of old age…

Unihertz sells a couple of Android 11 phones with physical keyboards.

You are totally right… Android 11 is better than android 8 but they dont get any more updates either… So it feels like i just exchange one with another
- Ilandar ( @Ilandar@aussie.zone ) English3•1 day ago
Android 11 is still capable of updating some core system components through Project Mainline, as opposed to Android 8 which is completely dead. But yeah I agree that it’s probably not worth “upgrading” to those Unihertz devices. I was sharing more so it would be on your radar if they ever release a newer model.

I still thank you for sharing. It will be my last resort if my key2 is really dying…

It might not be your thing, but there is also a minimalist phone from a startup shipping later this year that has a physical keyboard. And there is also the Clicks keyboard case, which currently only supports iPhones but may release for some Android phones in the future.

Do they make add-on keyboards for phones that fold over the screen like the ones for Surface-style tablets?
