Without typos? Typing a tweet or text message into your phone, your thumbs hit somewhere near the right characters and your phone figures out what words you meant as you type. The uncorrected characters are often gibberish. This is a very different use case from having to get the case and special characters right for a 40 character password.

Without typos. I use a keyboard that has no predictive features, swiping, or suggestions. But I understand your point. Personally I found training myself to type accurately worth it but most people may not.
Many of them support biometric authentication using Android's API.
Also, to enter the master password, all of them use whatever keyboard is installed, some of them send a message to them to work in "incognito mode" for what good that it. That said, for Keepass2Android and KeePassDX, they offer their own keyboard to enter secure credentials on sites you log into once your password manager is unlocked. That allows you to circumvent the system clipboard entirely, which is a major attack surface. Some apps also support the android autofill feature.
