Even though the Galaxy S6 will be a lot lighter on bloatware than you would have anticipated, that doesn’t mean Samsung will stop offering users access to plenty of its own apps, not to mention other apps and services that it’ll include in its Galaxy Gifts digital package. One of the apps you’ll find in the latter portal is a very useful and quite popular Android and iOS keyboard app, and it will be available free of charge to Galaxy S6 buyers.

Fleksy will be demoing their Mobile and Wearables products, including the forthcoming Samsung Gear S keyboard, at Mobile World Congress 2015, March 1-5, in the Tizen Association booth.
