As the number of foldable phones increases and more and more people use them, Google is also said to be preparing a Pixel phone with a foldable screen. Before the Pixel folding machine was released, Google had taken the lead in developing Gboard’s split keyboard for folding machines such as the Galaxy Fold, and started beta testing.
Convenient for large screen input
A few days ago, a Galaxy Fold user’s Reddit forum posted a post, indicating that Gboard beta users have seen a full-body split keyboard in the latest version. It is reported that the new design allows users to input on the large-size screen in a more convenient and comfortable way after opening the folding machine.
Expected to be officially launched shortly
A similar split Gboard keyboard design also appeared at the end of May this year, but at that time users had to Root the machine to be able to use it. Although only beta test version users can use it now, the number of users is still relatively large, and the method of applying for joining is relatively easy. It is estimated that the function will be officially launched soon after the test.
