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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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?
