smartphone keyboard

smartphone keyboard

There are four ways keyboards are presented on smartphones. Since they are not full-sized keyboards, there are often built-in shortcuts to help the user. For example, on some smartphones, pressing the space bar twice ends a sentence by entering a period and space. Just like computer keyboards, each type of smartphone keyboard has its own feel and responsiveness, which may appeal to one group of users and not another. See thumb culture.

Full Keyboard
A full QWERTY keyboard with physical keys. These are certainly not full-sized keys, but all are available.

Condensed Keyboard
Each key has two letters and depressing the key twice enters the second letter.

T9 Keypad
A regular phone keypad is used with digits and letters. A key is pressed once, twice or several more times to enter the required letter or digit. See T9.

Virtual Keyboard
A full QWERTY keyboard is presented on a touch screen. See virtual keyboard.
