With touchscreens taking over the smartphone world, finding devices that still feature physical keyboards is getting tougher. For those of us who enjoy the feel of real keys, it can be frustrating to sift through a sea of touch-only models. I’m curious if there are any new smartphones released in 2026 that still hold onto a physical keyboard while offering good performance.
I’ve seen a few brands attempt to include keyboards, but they often sacrifice other important aspects like camera quality or processing power. Has anyone found a smartphone this year that successfully combines a functional keyboard with decent specs? What are the best choices for those of us who prefer typing on actual keys?
Also, do you think the recent rise of foldable phones might pave the way for a resurgence in physical keyboards? I’d love to hear your recommendations or thoughts!
