Can anyone suggest a physical keyboard that is about the same size of your android phone that can physically get attached to your phone so it acts like a mini laptop?

I need a solution where I type notes on the go and I need the full screen real estate to see what I am typing.

They keyboard cannot be loose but needs to be attachable to the phone so you only have to hold the keyboard in your hand. Like a mini laptop.

I haven't seen something like that for smart phone, but if you do find something, that would be interesting.

Samsung used to make the Keyboard Covers for Galaxy phones. The keyboard snaps on the front of the phone and the screen automatically resizes to accomodate the active physical keypad.

Huawei P30.

There does not seem to be anything suitable for the P30. You could go the diy route and adapt a keyboard designed for another make or model, eg:
