And the Sony can't filter noise from voice on standard calls, but only if you are recording video. People always asked if it was windy when I called.

Well, I will release, I will use, phone body to make some Bass in phones. Cooling Chamber integrated, water proof, Passive Subwoofer Engineering can solve this problem. At least, 1 Meter Distance, Phone Owner will get, satisfied Bass Frequencies from their phones without not so much affected, Battery Consumption of Phone...Now, you know Future High Tech...

I will be blunt and to the point.
This sort of testing shows almost nothing.
A short sentence of the reviewer preference would be worth more.
Audio measurements when done well and exhaustively give a narrow look into the essence. THD, directionality, noise level?
Such apparatus is expensive and testing time consuming, not to forget it requires specific skill.
I say just skip it and give subjective score through listening music, podcasts and gaming. Would be worth infinitely more than what you are doing right now.

It's going to be down to physical size of its drives and other parts in engineering to create the sound.

But I think any display above 6.5 inches is difficult to operate single handedly, I got a large hand myself being 6'1" tall, still find difficult to operate my Mi10 singlehandedly. Anyways that's a race the mobile manufacturers are blindly running to win. Customer feedback has become a thing of past. External storage is also important and it still dragging at MicroSD, no presence of UFS as of yet

In all fairness they published 2 articles, one ranking loudest phones (without regard to quality), and this article which ranks best-sounding phones, which they admit is subjective. The problem is they also pulled the loudness scores from the other article so at a glance it seems that the rating ('good', 'very good' etc.) refers to quality, but they still refer to loudness only.

I've compared Iphone 12 Pro Max and Xiaomi mi 11 ultra. And Xiaomi has more clear and detailed sound while Iphone sound was dull. You can easily see it in speaker frequency responce graph.
Only tiktok music sounds acceptable on Iphone. If you try to listen metal or rock music you'll get a messed sound.
So as 15 pro max has simillar frequency responce graph to 12 pro max, I don't agree, that Iphone have best speakers on the market.

can't say i am much interested in built in speaker output quality as i only get phones with a 3.5mm so can play out of any kind of quality speaker i choose. i can also use an app that offers the best possible use of any sound chip the phone has.

I sure wish you still tested quality with headphones, which is the only way I listen to music on my phone. The only thing I care about with the speaker is how loud it is so I don't miss any calls or texts.
