With Samsung, you often need to enter a word a few times before the keyboard starts predicting correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Users find that Samsung Keyboard doesn&rsquo;t learn and predict incorrect words as well as Gboard.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This doesn&rsquo;t mean word prediction doesn&rsquo;t work in Samsung Keyboard, however. Recent versions of the keyboard have improved in terms of word prediction, and many users like it &ndash; the app gets better the more you use it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-layout-7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/img_62012184b8e99.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/img_62012184b8e99.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-15\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" lazyload\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><figcaption>Samsung Keyboard Word Prediction<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/img_6201218502e81.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/img_6201218502e81.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-16\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" lazyload\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><figcaption>Gboard Word Prediction<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>See also: <a href=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/why-does-gboard-use-so-much-data\/\">Why Does GBoard Use So Much Data?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"samsung-keyboard-vs-gboard-special-characters\">Samsung Keyboard vs Gboard: special characters<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Both Samsung Keyboard and Gboard let you easily insert punctuation marks and other symbols.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Samsung Keyboard, you long-press the period key for special characters to show up in an insert&nbsp; popup. The popup stays there even if you remove your finger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The settings in Samsung Keyboard also allow you to customize what special characters should appear in the popup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gboard has a slight edge here because once you tap and hold the period key to bring up the special characters list, you can insert the character by simply sliding to it, without removing your finger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also allow Gboard to show the special characters on the letter keys, and input them simply by long-pressing a letter key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-layout-8 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/img_620121854aa8f.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/img_620121854aa8f.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-17\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" lazyload\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><figcaption>Samsung Keyboard<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/img_620121858d62e.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/img_620121858d62e.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-18\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" lazyload\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><figcaption>Gboard<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"samsung-keyboard-vs-gboard-clipboard\">Samsung Keyboard vs Gboard: clipboard<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Samsung Keyboard and Gboard both have built-in clipboard functionality. The Clipboard is a location in the phone&rsquo;s memory that temporarily saves text, links, or images which are copied or cut, to be pasted in a different location.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clipboard is a valuable feature especially for users who copy-paste a lot on their smartphones.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"pinned-or-locked-items\">Pinned or locked items  <\/h3>\n\n\n<p>In Gboard you can <strong>pin items<\/strong> to keep them in the Clipboard without a time limit. In contrast, unpinned items that are only copied or cut are automatically deleted after 1 hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Samsung Keyboard has a slight edge here because items will only be removed when you reach the maximum allotted space which is 40 entries. Therefore, you can lock an item to the clipboard to store it indefinitely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both keyboards allow you to copy screenshots and images to the clipboard and paste them directly from it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, both keyboards display the item (e.g. text) being copied in the top prediction bar for easy pasting with just a tap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-layout-9 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"485\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/image-12-485x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9650\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/image-12-485x1024.png 485w, https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/image-12-142x300.png 142w, https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/image-12.png 379w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 485px) 100vw, 485px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"485\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/image-12-485x1024.png.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9650 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/image-12-485x1024.png.webp 485w, https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/image-12-142x300.png.webp 142w, https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/image-12.png.webp 379w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 485px) 100vw, 485px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/image-12.png?wsr\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-19\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><figcaption>Samsung Keyboard Clipboard<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/img_62012185d8577.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/img_62012185d8577.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-20\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" lazyload\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><figcaption>Gboard Clipboard<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"samsung-keyboard-vs-gboard-search\">Samsung Keyboard vs Gboard: search<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Samsung Keyboard doesn&rsquo;t have the Google search functionality built-in.
