Physical Keyboard Android Devices Worth Considering
Physical Keyboard Android Devices Shortlist, with Advantages, Talk Time, and Physical Keys Convenience
Physical keyboard phones are still popular. The reason is that the feel of the physical QWERTY keyboard is familiar. So users feel comfortable with handsets that come with the handy keys. Blackberry is a popular choice for fans of physical keyboard phones. But Android can also offer a number of handsets with the physical keys offering the familiar feel. There are not many QWERTY Android handsets on the market. They come out not so often.
An example of handsets with physical keyboard is LG Enact. It was released last year. It packs both mid range hardware and innovative Android capabilities. The greatest asset of the handset is its battery which offers 11 hours of service for plenty of talks.
Motorola Droid is the next kid on the block. It is a little older but its features are great too. The Android 2.3.5 it comes with can be upgraded to 4.0.4. The talk time the battery can guarantee is an impressive 12.5 hours. Add to these the water and dust resistant coating. But the processor is a bit old.
Next comes Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE released in 2012. It offers some upgrades too. It can be updated to Android 4.1. The small downside for users is the smaller in-built storage compared to the Droid 4. But the micro SD slot can solve the problem. The talk time is 7.5 hours. The handset is water and dust resistant.
Now come the more budget Android handsets with physical keyboard comfort. An example is the LG Mach. It is about a year old. But it is great value for money. The handset comes with Android 4.0. The talk time the battery guarantees is 9.5 hours. The micro SD card slot supports up to 32 GB. These are impressive qualities for a budget phone.
Motorola Droid 5 continues the list of Android devices with physical keyboard. The Droid 5 capabilities have been leaked, including wireless charging and NFC, plus a larger screen. However, it is rumored the handset will not have a water and dust resistant coating. When it comes out it will be clear what exactly it packs.
These are some of the culprits for great physical keyboard comfort and convenience among Android devices. They have their place in the hearts of users. They often combine the comfort and convenience with budget prices.
