![]() Andy Boxall/Digital Trendsīecause the Samsung keyboard is baked into One UI on the Z Fold 3, it does have some tactile advantages. The menu bar also has a button to activate a floating keyboard mode, or to cancel the split-screen view. The split in the center is smaller than Samsung’s keyboard, and there’s no central staggering of the keys either. This approach makes the keys appear larger and therefore easier to press and locate quickly. Gboard has four rows and moves the number keys to a secondary menu, but also makes them accessible with a long press on each key on the top line. A menu bar has options to cancel the split-screen or enter a “floating” keyboard mode. ![]() There are five rows of keys in total, covering numbers, letters, and the space bar (plus associated punctuation keys). Samsung’s keyboard has a wide central split and a dramatically staggered layout on either side of the screen. Google’s take on the split-screen keyboard is slightly different from Samsung’s. Make sure Gboard is active on your Galaxy Z Fold 3 by going to General Management under Settings, then Keyboard List and Default to ensure that it’s active. From there, apply to be a beta tester for the Google Gboard app on Google Play. To try it out on your phone (and do remember it is a beta feature, which means it may not be as stable as the publicly available version), make sure your Galaxy Z Fold 3 is running the most up-to-date version of the software. Now, via a software update on the Z Fold 3 and a beta version of Gboard, Samsung’s split-screen option is no longer the only game in town, as Gboard now has its own split-screen mode. Samsung solved this with its split-screen keyboard, placing a gap in the middle, with the keys are tight against the sides of the screen, ready for dual-thumb typing. ![]() ![]() The nature of the Fold’s wide screen makes the keyboard stretched-out and awkward. However, it has never been designed for use on a folding phone like the Z Fold 3. I used 3 top flip phones, and this is why the Galaxy Z Flip 4 still rules We may know exactly when the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Z Flip 5 will be released I know how Samsung can make the Galaxy Z Fold 5 perfect ![]()
