Return the dream of the physical QWERTY keyboard cover!Can I input Japanese with Galaxy S8?

* Weekly risky is a very geeky corner that delivers information from the intersection of technology and subculture with a "naughty digital" cut mouth.Please be careful if you see it first.

Various genuine covers of the Galaxy S series have appeared, but this keyboard cover is noteworthy.It is a product that has been prepared for models in recent years, such as "Galaxy Note 5" and "Galaxy S7 Edge".

Purchase the keyboard cover first before the terminal!To Korea with the regrets that I have accumulated

Of course, "Galaxy S8" and "Galaxy S8 +" are also prepared, and on the first day of selling terminals in Korea the other day, only the keyboard cover was bought first.

The keyboard cover that I bought immediately in Korea

I want to try the operation of this keyboard and go to Seoul again!Of course, I want to attach a keyboard cover to the Galaxy S8 and hit Japanese crispy.

On the first day of the sale, there was no terminal that could be tried, and the exhibits at the shop could not be able to put the case because it had terminals and wires for theft prevention.

The exhibits are abundant, but they have a stolen terminal and cannot try the cover.

In fact, I have been crying on this keyboard cover.The global version, Hong Kong version, and the Korean version of the Galaxy S series contain Japanese locale and will be displayed in Japanese.If you attach a keyboard cover, you can enter English, Chinese and Korean.

However, it is a sad specification that Japanese cannot be entered.In that area, please feel the mourning in the past article.

From a mobile phone researcher, I have been appealing to Samsung officials to say "Japanese with a keyboard cover!"Galaxy S8 is a terminal that changes the common sense of smartphones and Samsung's products with considerable enthusiasm.This time, you must be able to speak Japanese with the keyboard cover!

Please ask keyboard cover

Actually installed!Check the keyboard settings

So we prepared the Korean version of Galaxy S8 + locally.I will attach the keyboard cover at once.Of course, just in case, the language of Galaxy S8 + has been changed to Japanese.Turn on the NFC in the settings and attach the cover to the back of the main unit.

Before wearing the keyboard.I'm thrilled at this point

And attach the keyboard.This sense of unity is good.S8/S8 + has a vertical display, so the display part is wide even if the keyboard is attached, and it can be used as a touch panel.

Although the keyboard is a Korean version, Hangul's character is printed, but the key is easy to press and does not go to the "BlackBerry level", but it seems that long sentences are not a problem.

The sense of unity is not impaired even if the keyboard is installed

Enlarge keyboard.The click feeling of the key is not bad

Here, remove the keyboard and check the keyboard area from the setting screen.You can enter Japanese.Let's wear the keyboard here.

Not attached to the keyboard.A state where Japanese can be entered

Attach the keyboard

Then the display of "Japanese" is gray.In other words, it seems that Galaxy S8 + cannot be hit by Japanese with the keyboard cover attached (crying).

The display of Japanese has become gray (cannot be selected)

Because it is difficult to see, it is enlarged.Before and after the keyboard installation, Japanese can no longer be used.

After wearing the keyboard

Japanese input is not possible this time, but I still don't give up my dreams

Samsung has released a QWERTY keyboard cover that will never be released by other manufacturers.However, the dream of Japanese input has collapsed again.

Perhaps we expect to respond to Japanese input in future firmware updates.But I have no idea if it will happen or when it will be.

It is an era where long sentences can be hit even with flick input.However, only Galaxy S8/S8 +, which has a characteristic vertical display, can be used effectively even if you attach a keyboard.

I haven't been able to throw away my Japanese dreams yet, and I would like to check the updates of the terminals in the future.

Will the day when I can speak Japanese on the keyboard come?We keep waiting for that day ...
