          AverageIndianUser, 27 Dec 2021Try iPhone. You won't feel the need.No thanks. A decent phone with a decent speaker is cheaper and better. Also iOS is jail compared with android.

            Samsung s10 5g, redmi k40 gaming, redmi note 11 pro,.Which one of these 3 has good speakers? I saw a comparison between k40 gaming and blackshark 4 but k40 gaming seems better.

              AnonF-1006353, 27 Dec 2021All phone speakers suck nevertheless, especially iPhones be... morewho said iPhone sounds better than asus. I haven't seen anyone using Asus around me nor do i use it. I have no idea how asus sounds. All im saying is buying a low end portable speaker is not worth it if you use latest iphones. Based on my 10+ years of smartphone usage across several brands, HTC was the best in delivering accurate audio. No other phone I've used or seen that beats htc one series audio accuracy till date. Xperia compact and iphones were good but not as good as htc.

                Red magic has no fullness or clarity, just loud and nothing else. Not close at all.

                  It will be nice idea to test some iconic loud phones like Motorola E398

                    You guys becoming less and less relevant. How is it even possible that you've excluded ZTE Nubia Red Magic phones like 5s and 6s pro? It is obvious that you're all bias and favoring Rog Phone 5. I own both phones and Red Magic 5s have by far better sound in terms of loudness and quality.

                        Have you guys heard about a phone called Sony Ericcson W550i ? Once you listen to that sound you will know what phone sound is...

                          I know this is tiring hearing about Graphene everywhere

                          But Graphene can be used in Speaker systems for extremely loud yet distortion free noise.

                                Thanks for this article. I hope you continue to make this yearly. I bought my current phone (ROG Phone 2) simply because of its good-sounding front-facing speakers even though I don't play games.

                                    Bodygard, 27 Dec 2021Loudness and best phone speakers is not the whole story. So... morei think best phone speakers mean best all round speakers. Considering unanimous verdict, pretty much entirety of GSMAs staff disagrees with you. Considering that they test more phones in a year than you'll buy in a lifetime, I'm more inclined to trust them rather than you with an unsubstantiated and unproven claim

And they don't reach the same treble sparkle and lower bass like the asus phones do. Go get some proper speakers anyway, your ears will appreciate the less peaky frequency response.
