MANILA, Philippines - Alongside its eye-candy phablets, the Note 5 and S6 Edge+, Samsung released this accessory, a QWERTY keyboard case that left some tech pundits scratching their heads. “What year is it?”, was a common retort. But even if smartphone users seems to have gotten used to the feel of typing on glass, nothing quite beats the feel of Blackberry-ish keypad.
The accessory is compatible with both the Note 5 and the S6 Edge+ and can be tucked away at the back of the device when not in use. Good idea? Or unnecessary? Let us know online using the hashtag #GadgetMatch.
