    Are you worried about Samsung putting insane chips in their phones, HTC for having screens pop up etc?

          if LG V20 will have earpiece set ... this is just bullshit !

          if LG V20 will have stereo front speakers ... this will be an improvement, something good.


          " LG V20's upcoming marketing campaign will definitely be high-quality audio experience. A couple of weeks ago, we first heard a rumor that the V20 might actually be the first smartphone to offer a 32-bit Hi-Fi Quad DAC. "


          1) "high-quality audio experience 32-bit Hi-Fi Quad DAC" with ONE mono speaker is just a big bullshit !

          2) Even "high-quality audio experience 32-bit Hi-Fi Quad DAC" with two bottom on the side speakers is just a big bullshit !

          3) "high-quality audio experience 32-bit Hi-Fi Quad DAC" with TWO STEREO FRONT speakers will be very nice !

          4) "high-quality audio experience 32-bit Hi-Fi Quad DAC" with QUAD STEREO FRONT speakers will be something real high-quality audio experience !!


          So ... depends how they will do this LG V20... the market has a lot of smartphones with "super HiFi 32bit DAC" with one stupid idiot mono speaker !

            DAC is a Digital-to-Analog Converter. A DAC has one task — convert digital audio information into an analog signal that can be sent out to a speaker or amplifier.
            32-bit audio can have a whopping 4,294,967,296 points of data.

            It's DAC through the 3.5mm plug. ..and it's not the first, this reporter / writer needs to do some research! If you get a good pair of headphones, or feed your 3.5mm to a sound system, even the one in your car, you will hear the magical difference@!

            The LG V10 has had this for some time, it's not new.

              I wonder who is that stupid LG boss that keeps misreading the real customer needs for around 4 years now and counting ? Since the G2, LG did only stupid things year after year.

              Audio quality ? Who cares about audio quality ?

              So stupid...

This audio prowess is about the DAC which will provide great audio output through the headphone jack, not just the speaker. Not many people use the speaker, but everyone uses the headphone jack.

                          I mean, its good that lg is giving an already decent phone some USP to fit a niche, but it really isn't that big a niche. If they tick the other boxes like battery life it'll be better.

                              Meh, never was a fan of phone speakers. Give me a high quality pair of earphones or a sound-boosting bluetooth speaker and i'll forget my phone has speakers of its own in the first place.

                                  Can't even hear phone ringing at a pub.

                                    Who cares? Unless you're into knives, crazy frog and bieber, you're not gonna listen to music on the phone's speakers.

                                    It's battery we want mainly...

                                    Totally, there's always the option of portable speakers for an affordable price which comes in handy which comes with higher sound quality in general.
                                    The issue in todays mobile industry is battery prformance and holding charge, that should be the main focus atm. HTC is one of the best in sound domain same as asus and acer.
                                    LG can brag as much as they want, they do not convince me at all.
                                    Give us more internal storage, qi charging, better batteries, latest snapdragon SoC and SD cards at affordable flagship price and that will be a killer for sure.
