There are many basement thoughts how the neo2 layout was created. One of them is the switch between left and right hand. I think that this idea could be also an idea to think about an optimised layout for a smartphone.
YES neo2 is created for german language and while i am typing this comment i also see that i am typing in english many letters before i switch the thumps.
Maybe you find a more optimised version for typewise. And its a free choice if somebody like to take the time to learn and benefit from it. -

Janis Berneker AdminWhile layouts like Dvorak or Neo2 are better for 10-finger-typing they are not necessarily optimized for 2-finger-typing. There is research about optimized layouts for smartphones like KALQ but user tests have shown that the benefit of the key placements alone is less than 10% - after a long time of practice. That's why after testing many different layouts we decided to use a smartphone-optimized layout that is based on QWERTY but uses optimizations for smartphones like larger hexagon keys, centered space keys (since these are the most used keys), and gestures for often-used features like capitalization. That way you have a much better typing experience but not the extremely steep learning curve.
This doesn't mean we won't add alternative layouts but I just wanted to explain that you can't simply apply an optimized keyboard for 10 fingers to a smartphone. -
