From PRIV to KEY2, some questions about my personal usage.
(Please note that I am not a native english speaker and I may do some strange phrasing/mistakes, I am sorry for that !)
Hello !
I am planning on maybe getting myself a KEY2 as I have currently a PRIV.
But KEY2 is kinda pricey and if you don't mind I have a few questions to know if it is really an improvement for me considering the way I'm using a phone.
Btw I have read some threads and since everybody doesn't do the same : I use the physical keyboard rather than the digital one.
1) I use to write a lot, using google doc since no other things like Word seems to work very well. But as the doc gets heavier, the PRIV is getting slower. At times doing big mistakes it would be hard to describe. (Maybe… like you know the word proposition when you typed half a word? It valids itself multiple times, typing showwewewewewer instead of show-runner for ex.) Making it impossible to use boards or to put multiple pictures in the doc without lagging a lot.
2) The PRIV is rather slow compared to other phones, for task that are supposed to be easy.
3) The wifi sometimes acts strange, if there is a mistake in the parameters it sometimes make the wifi-box disappear from the list of available wifi… Well it's annoying but it is not a major problem.
4) The PRIV I have overheat ! And very quickly sometimes ! Slowing it down (even more)
5) I have the bad habits to never put my phone off because it takes ages to go on again. (The triangle/square/round animation if you see what I mean, takes a long, long, looong time) And I think it affected somewhat the well being of my phone.
6) Accents are very slow to type. I have to push the keyboard for one second and then chose on the digital keyboard after, and there isn't so many choices, for examples I needed the ~ on the "n" for spanish in my studies, and it is not available. There is maybe a parameter for that but I did not find.) I know it seems to be rather petty, but it really slows down the typing and it is uncomfortable. I am well aware that there might not be a better system yet.
(The PRIV has been a really good phone and I am not criticising it in a bad way, but I think in 2020 it has done its time)
I think that's pretty much it, does KEY2 improves on these subjects?
(And if you have a way to correct this things while I'm still using my PRIV you are very welcome to give me the info !)
Also there is a lot of different models of KEY2 and I am a bit lost about what to buy. I have a nice budget but I am not sure that it is worth it to buy the best of the best model of KEY2 available. If you have an idea of the best option quality/price…
Thank you for ready and your advices !
