            Still premium design and good overall, but became a bit sluggish after installing Android 12.

                        I always liked that LG sometimes used 1-2 year old 8-series snapdragons instead of recent mid range chips.

                              it's very sad that we'll never see LG phones... b/c they discontinued production of phones

                                XDA shared that all LG premium phones will get Android 12 !

                                Even LG will support till Android 13, too !

                                  Caesarius, 04 Feb 2022Here are my 2 Cents to this matter... I bought the LG Velv... moreTo me it is perfectly fine if you like the audio or sound signature of LG Velvet more than some QuadDAC laden phones like LG G8X.

                                  First we need to understand we all measure sound quality in a subjective way. Everything is going on in our head. So every person have their own standards, their own inclination towards a certain sound signature. And this is perfectly fine.

                                  The LG's famous QuadDAC audio processor that powered models like G6, V30, G7, V35, V40, G8, V50, V50S, G8X is none other than ESS designed Sabre ES9218P. This audio processor was designed in such a way so as to custom tune the final sound signature and tonality at hardware level. Different types a digital filters was applied and custom discrete circuitry was implemented along the input stage of QuadDAC on different models.

                                  This is where famous audio houses like Bang & Olufsen (B&O) and Meridian Audio comes into picture. LG then made partnership with these famous tuning houses so as to custom tune QuadDAC in the phone's hardware level and attain their signature sound. This led the same QuadDAC to have drastically different sound signatures depending upon who tuned it. Look no further than B&O tuned LG V30+ & Meridian tuned LG G8X. Same high fidelity sound with sound signatures that are poles apart. So V30+ and G8X have a certain flavor in the sound, which are distinct and I love both. G7+ was tuned by LG, so it had different sound signature, though very close to B&O. So this means you may not like the G7's sound so much but you may like G8X sound more than Velvet.

                                  LG's QuadDAC camp is divided into two groups. There are those you like B&O tuning favoring G7, V30, V35. These guys also like LG tuning which can be found in G7 and is very close to B&O. But the majority I have seen likes Meridian tuned QuadDAC as it follows a more humane and less clinical approach towards final sound signature. A more raspy and energetic sound. These guys like V40, V50, V50S & G8X.

                                  As you posted here I assume you are using the LG Velvet (LTE) smartphone. This phone comes with Snapdragon 845 paired with the best flagship grade audio processor Qualcomm ever made. I am taking about the Qualcomm Aqstic WCD9341 which does the audio related tasks in Velvet.

                                  In terms of pure audio specification, playback capability and sound quality, the WCD9341 is right up there with ES9218P. The only area where it looses to QuadDAC is in headphone jack output power, any headphones above 50 ohms impedance just shines with QuadDAC. But only 10% of all headphones available on the market is rated > 50 ohms as they are hard to drive.

                                  There is another catch related to WCD9341. The audio processor can be implemented on a phone in low power (6mW) or high performance mode (34mW). As in high performance mode the power consumption is more than 5 times, most smartphone manufacturers implement them in low power mode. Not so for LG & Meizu as these manufacturers value audio quality through headphone jack.

                                  My first encounter with WCD9341 happened with Meizu 16th, their flagship of 2018. This phone better known as just 16 in China not only implemented the WCD9341 in high performance mode with dedicated power rails drawn straight from phone power management IC but also used high quality audio grade resistors & capacitors supporting the audio processor. Not only that, the entire audio circuitry along the WCD9341 was shielded separately from the main Snapdragon 845 SoC and other digital chips in the circuit board to minimize any electromagnetic interference.

                                  Regardless, I was blown to smithereens as the Meizu 16th was reaching the level of sound quality though audio jack which I am only accustomed and expect to find in QuadDAC laden LG flagships and Vivo flagships with Cirrus Logic audio processors. After hearing for an hour with few of my high end earphones, I concluded Qualcomm have entered the true HiFi arena. At least this holds true for their flagship Qualcomm Aqstic WCD9341.

                                  LG Velvet uses the same audio hardware of Meizu 16th, its SD845 + WCD9341. So it is natural to have very good audio. I rate my 16th as high as my LG V30+, LG G8X & Vivo NEX S. The only place where QuadDAC excel to WCD9341 is driving power, it can drive some seriously difficult to drive high impedance headphones easily. And all high end headphones are generally high impedance ones.

                                      I bought the LG Velvet and it sounds almost the same as my FiiO M11. I can't hardly hear a difference between those 2.
                                      Then 2 weeks ago I bought the LG G8s Thinq because of the Quad-Dac and I found it at a decent price here in Brazil, thinking there might be a difference between the Velvet and the G8. I can't hear any difference between those 2 LG phones, in fact the Velvet sounds a touch better to me.
                                      I use the USB Audio Player Pro, use High-Res audio flac files and the AKG N90Q.
                                      So I will give the brand new LG G8s away to my lady and get another Velvet as a back-up since they are still available to buy.

                                      One question please - can I get audio output from the phone straight into the headphone? I only tested with the audio cable from the AKG headphone.
                                      Thank you.

                                      Cheers

                                        What got me surprised with this phone is that this is among the only six smartphones to date that can officially run Android 11 or newer version. Those six smartphones are this, OnePlus 6 and 6T, Google Pixel 3 and 3 XL, and Xiaomi Pocophone F1, that's it. It does prove that the chipset is still capable enough to be a daily driver at the moment despite its age.
