      Anonymous, 07 Jan 2025https://www.gsmarena.com/moondrop_miad_01_to_run_on_the_med... moreAh yes, almost forgot about the Moondrop phone.

        Mobile is a complex device and it is a mistake to choose one secondary feature and forget 10 important ones. Last year I wanted to buy a Samsung Z fold6, but I wanted to find arguments for the purchase in the reviews. And it happened that I read about the VIVO X Fold3 Pro at GSMArena. The review was detailed and serious. Absolutely all the negatives of the Fold6 were 1000% better in the Vivo X Fold3 Pro. And I found out that VIVO also has a factory in India and there they give VIVO a global version. Intoxicated by a review from GSMArena I took a risk and bought a ViVo from India. And now I am a happy and enthusiastic owner of the excellent VIVO X Fold3 Pro, which has no fault in any parameter. It is brutally perfect in everything, cameras with large photo sensors and super optics, a huge 5700 mAh battery and perfect ultrasonic fingerprint sensors on both displays. VIVO gives a guarantee of 500,000 openings of the main display and I have already received 2 updates in a month. And the price for the great VIVO is the same as for the Samsung Fold6. And the icing on the cake: the great UI FunTouch is receivingIt was the turning point. Samsung made me start reading reviews. And I read about the VIVO X Fold3 Pro at GSMArena. The review was detailed and serious. Absolutely all the negatives of Samsung Fold6 were 1000% better in Vivo X Fold3 Pro. And I found out that VIVO also has a factory in India and there they give VIVO a global version. By the review from GSMArena I took a risk and bought a ViVo from India. And now I am very happy and enthusiastic owner of the excellent VIVO X Fold3 Pro, which has no faults. It has brutally perfect cameras with larger photo sensors and lens, excellent 8" main screen, a huge 5700 mAh battery and perfect ultrasonic fingerprint sensors on both displays. VIVO gives a guarantee of 500,000 openings of the main display and I have already received 2 updates in a month. And the price for the great VIVO is the same as for the Samsung Fold6. And the icing on the cake: Great UI FunTouch which is 95% similar to OneUI6.1. and in some ways even better 😃. So far I'm excited and knock on wood for it to last. For now, I speak honestly and honestly: VIVO X Fold3 Pro is the best folding phone in the world.

          Mik3, 02 Jan 2025It is very difficult to enjoy good sound without a headset.... moreIt is not mandatory but good to have while doin video calls.

I had LG QUADBEATS earphones that came with LG G Flex 2 and it was the best sounding earphones back then. Now maybe good headphones are quite common but back in the day, LG Quadbeats were top. LG could have taken Sony approach of releasing 1/2 phones a year. Not bad as an advertisement.

                For the life of me I don't understand how to convert lufs to db, can't really grasp how loud a -25 lufs is, gsm could elaborate on the measurement and conversion to help readers understand.

                  Many phones with better specs can be bought for same price.

                    That device was quite old, but with Cirrus Logic DAC and with good audiophile headphones it was amazing. Top HiFi quality! The owner is still using it as Media player, I will recommend him the device you listed. Thank you for the information

                        This should be the best sounding smartphone through the balanced headphone jack now.

                          Its just one of the testes that they do and if a device can do both loud and clear, it is a winner.

                            Anonymous, 06 Jan 2025Did you test of gaming phoneYes.
                            I'm using Asus Rog Phone 6.

                            It's good, but there's still room for improvement. There is still no audio experience like headphones. Try, for example, to put the phone under the chin. In terms of audio quality (not volume), the audio quality is much better if you put the phone under the chin than if you put the phone in front of the face at viewing distance.

                                I don't actively listen through my speakers, but apparently the LG V60 is the best sounding smartphone through the headphone jack.

                                That's too big of a phone for me so I might not get it, but I do own an LG G8, and that phone has the best 3.5mm audio quality of all the LG phones with DACs in them.

                                  You will use earbuds anyway if you really love music. Or you can use a portable speaker.

                                    Niku, 01 Jan 2025Fun fact: Asus ROG Phone 7 family still is the undisputed k... morewith subwoofer it's umatched to everyone else, but for the built-in one I still vouch for Blackshark 5 Pro. ROG 7 wins the bass, but the frequency response (details) and stage by far owned by BS5Pro.

                                    Though, sure its OS sucks so much, I wish I can flash it to custom rom.

                                      regs, 03 Jan 2025They didn't even test any single Huawei tablet at all.... morein the article you can "add to comparison" and then input/type the phone/tablet u want to compare
                                      then check the frequency response graph

                                      u should at least can see those on the list have better response compared to not listed ones

                                        AnonD-1185368, 01 Jan 2025That's the LOUDNESS rating, not the sound QUALITY rating.Oh thx didn’t know that :P
