Hi,
How can you compare this to the Zenfone 11 Ultra ?
The Moondrop sells for 400 dollars.
The Zenfone Ultra for 2.5 the price.
Of course the Zenfone should be superioor in almost every aspect.
Except maybe the audio rendering ?
Still, for the price, this phone, for me, is really something I'd consider.
Why ?
Because I have no real needs : a phone to make calls (go figure... I consider this is still the first scope of a phone !), use as GPS when I'm on the way and have a nice calendar app to know when I have "appointments". I play only occasioanlly and that is about all I do with a phone...
But I also carry a DAP around when I'm on the way... Having a single device that will fill both needs isz something I would definitely consider.
Especially now that I broke my glass display on my beloved Xiaomi mi 11 pro :-(

I agree with everything you said. If this came out earlier I would've gotten it over this Sony Xperia 1V. I love the phone but I feel guilty getting it because it was so expensive.

so yeah there's no speration of work and entertainment in today's era ,this is one big lie that using different devices can protect you, No ,they mostly create more risk than protecting, so protect yourself all together and avoid this endeavor.

Same goes for laptops or any other media device.
These phones are purely for entertainment purposes.

i'm sold on the concept and design but SoC specs are disappointing, they could've bumped it up to Dimensity 8300-Ultra and msrp ~$500, hopefully MIAD 02 will be better

Usually sound or gaming focus ohones have bad camera poor software and too many bugs .
They have to make a good phone first than comes the music DAC bla bla . It's not the first time equipment manufacturer like red making a phone and failing miserably .

$399? Looks tempting, but I won't jump the ship quickly just yet.

They should have leveled it up with 6000mah battery since it's a musical instrument,, or should I say audio focused phone..
they didn't focus much on the display since it's a *1080 (p)rogressive scan*(FHD) consuming energy from 5000mAh(milliampere-hour) battery, which is pretty much balanced..
since it is packed with *DSP* functionalities, that's means it will be a favored choice among professionals and researchers..
therefore, 6000mah battery, won't do any harm for a smart phone that can offer a dynamic range of 132dB and a SINAD of 118 dB!

There is a reason most smartphones limit the voltage to 0.5 or at most 1V to support high impedance headphones because very rarely is the need for 2 or 4V as most headphones are moving towards low impedance drivers.

In another time. Had my father been alive I'd have pre-ordered this in a heartbeat! Audiophile audio in a decent smartphone formfactor and ease of use!

Their marketing slide have this in the camera section lmao:
---
>64-megapixel HD Dual-Camera
>32-megapixel Frontal Camera
(it's not good, but it works)

Brutally honest! I like that, but they probably meant "Not the best, but decent enough." but is lost in translation. It looks like it is OV64B but whether it has OIS or not is unknown.
