Latest Windows 10 for Phone Preview brings floating keyboard for phablets



While the latest build of Windows 10 for Phone Preview is pretty rough at the edges, there's one new feature that works pretty well.

There's now an option for a "floating" keyboard for larger phablet phones.

You can select whether the keyboard is left or right centred, or simply choose a full-size keyboard.

It makes thumb-typing - either left or right-handed - much easier on bigger devices.

It seems the option is only for Microsoft's current 6" screen phones - the Lumia 1320 and Lumia 1520.

We've yet to see if it's included on other large-screen models like the recently-announced Lumia 640 XL, with its 5.7" display.

We hope so and think it would be useful for anything of 5" and above.
