I'm sorry, but what? In what world is iPhone sounding better than ROG Phone? Have you guys actually even listened to the samples you yourself recorded?
ROG Phone is by far the best-sounding smartphone, and it's not even close at all.
You would have to be hard of hearing to think otherwise, it's literally the only phone that has any bass, it also has easly the cleanest sound and also has FRONT-FACING speakers, which is already a win by default, even if it sounded as poor as iPhone.

Most phones has the big disadvantage that the speakers are not Front-Facing (like in Asus Rog or Sony phones). You can't watch the screen and get the best sound.

ye right the rog phone should be the loudest since it has 2 amplifiers, they probably didn't tweak the treble up in the settings as it actually makes a huge difference to the highs when I tested it, they probably also find the secret option called outdoor mode, it boosts the volume by around another 30% just to brag I guess, the bass is better than any other phone I heard too.

I can say that the iPhone isn't the phone you're looking for when searching for a good sounding phone. It may have bass yes (if you don't take into account that these sound weird) but as shown in the audio graph, there's a weird dip in the mid-range that makes the sound unbearable. As soon as I turn up the volume, I'm disappointed.
Weird to see that the 1 V isn't listed at all, because it's really great in this regard

It has nothing to do with the quality of the sound. It might sound like someone shaking a tin can full of nails next to your ear. It will still score 'Very Good' in loudness if it's loud.

And how come the Xperia 1 ... morestereo speakers on a phone, little device makes even less sense...clarity, power is everything here
As bigger the thing is the more important stereo is...you cannot compare a phone device with a cinema experience because of the ambient room and space

That's a weird chart. The Galaxy A54 clearly sounds much better than the Xiaomi 13t.

And how come the Xperia 1 isn't present? It's the only phone with true stereo speakers.
