Ellen Dale, 24 Apr 2024I agree, an audio focused phone would make most sense if is... moreMaybe you're not familiar with modern audio equipment. TOTL DAPs are larger and heavier than mobile phones.

    Anonymous, 24 Apr 2024Very disappointing... considering it's an audio brand ... moreI agree, an audio focused phone would make most sense if is made compact

            NeonHD, 24 Apr 2024I don't think it matters too much for most people buyi... moreLG phones do not have the 4.4 balanced headphone jack. That will be the main attraction for audiophiles.

              Game Legion, 24 Apr 2024Takes years to plan and develop their first smartphone, now... moreSame with users complaining about anime branding. They could just choose from thousands of normal looking phones instead of bashing a company that shamelessly caters to its core audience.

                Anton .el PAPI., 24 Apr 2024I'll save the link to this for the SD card and Jack 3.... moreIphone will soon be decimated since it's also competing with its older handsets. And practices that helped it grow, like JP telcos giving iphones for free, will soon be stopped. Enjoy your hubris while you can.

                    Although I prefer the jacks to be on the bottom, a curved display ruins it for me. I hate the distortion on the top and bottom when watching video.

                      if it has a stock android slap on it its insta buy for me

                        That minority: Why don't you throw in some other chipset that is absolutely different from plans, even if you know we wouldn't buy it nor do we care if you had released it or not. 😀 Like, they should just do away with this DOA b/c it has a weak chipset and let all the time of preparation and development go to waste.

                        Of course, you would expect them to listen and just throw in a chipset after they are already this close to releasing their phone, because chipsets are just like removable batteries

                            Almost there. Lost me at curved. A curved smartphone just not worth it.

                              I'll save the link to this for the SD card and Jack 3.5 crybabies and this one has an extra 4.4 I want to see them cry about something else now...

                                Anonymous, 24 Apr 2024I bet it has unisoc 616 or mediatek G8X series 😡The only way they can kill it is by giving it underpowered chipsets like Helio series. They an just throw in a D9300 or 7+ Gen 2 and call it a day

                                  Eric20, 24 Apr 2024They lost me at curved. 😒I don't think it matters too much for most people buying this. The main "make-or-break" factor will still be its choice of audio components and the audio-related features packed into the software. Price also isn't a factor, since this product is clearly for those with tons of cash to burn. If you want the best smartphone-DAP hybrid for cheap, get a refurbed LG V60.

                                    Had me at 120hz OLED but lost me at curved. I think they just went with it because is using it. Curved displays are more prone to damage. Build quality is unique however, with no antenna lines. Looking and scouring through Reddit, Moondrop teased the phone all the way back to early to mid February. The phone (according to the posts) will be 5G.

                                    Just give the phone a microSD card, a good chipset like 8s Gen 3, 12/256 or 16/512 configs and it's fine. I am assuming by the dual cameras, there is no telephoto, which is fair. I don't think any audiophile cares about camera quality. At least make both cameras decent in night and daytime video

                                      They lost me at curved. 😒

                                        What?!?? I mean, I know GSMarena loves to cover audio stuff every now and then, but never would I have imagined a company like Moondrop to create a smartphone! How ambitious of them.

                                        I am expecting a full-fledged unboxing experience with their usual anime waifu-themed packaging and goodies, lmao.
