To make it easy to use, LG G3 Vigor also includes an intuitive Smart Keyboard that adapts to your personal typing style. The keyboard height and keys are adjustable with Smart Personalization, and the bottom row of keys can be customized. Typewriter previews what you type above the keyboard and errors can be eliminated with a simple Swipe Up gesture, and the cursor can be moved by swiping the space bar with Quick Move.
