Pinyin input method
The pinyin symbols are printed on 
the number keys. You only need to 
press a key once regardless of the 
symbol’s position on the number 
key, and the phone will make 
logical combinations of the pinyin 
symbols. 
The phone can also predict the next 
Chinese character if it makes a two-
character phrase with the first one. 
When the predicted character is 
inputted, the prediction ends and 
you need to input the pinyin 
symbols for the next Chinese 
character.
Using Pinyin input method
1. Press the number key once for 
each pinyin symbol you want to 
input (use "v" for "u");
