Are you among the smartphone users who buy a phone based on its camera quality? Well, you certainly aren't alone as most people follow the same.
However, some users look for more than a camera and want something bigger at the music front. For such music lovers, the audio of the smartphone is what matters the lot. And if you also want the best music quality from your smartphone, these are the best audio devices you should look forward to in 2016 in UK:
1. Apple iPhone 6s
This device comes with a decent sound; however, the loudness is surely a turn down here. It would have been better had the device projected louder with a bigger stress on mids rather than lows. The speakr design in the iPhone 6s is also not up to the mark and we really hope that Apple makes up for it in its future iPhone models.
2. BQ Aquaris M5
This device projects a decent sound quality via its speaker but it is slightly lower than what other smartphones are offering. But when used with Dolby Atmos app which comes pre-installed in the phone, there is a 15-20 percent boost in volume.
3. Google Nexus 6P
It offers somewhat loud, and slightly unrestrained speaker sound quality. The dual front-facing speakers sure add to the overall music experience but distortion of speakers at maximum volume is surely a disappointment.
4. HTC 10
This impresses with speakers' sound quality. However, the use of two speakers is a bit bizarre when we compare the same to other smartphones in market. This happens because of the bottom speaker which filters most of its low-end frequencies. The top facing speaker however focuses on mid and high frequencies.
5. LG G3
The LG G3 impresses us with its overall loudness and its quality frequency extension. However, its design stands to be a hindrance for speaker's performance. When placed on the table normally with the screen facing up, LG G3's speaker condensed in general volume and clearness.
6. LG G5
Quite like, LG G3, the LG G5 impresses with its overall loudness, but it would have been better if the succession should've been same as LG G3 and G4, which have dual speaker design and if this device had portrayed the same, it surely must have proved very beneficial. Its single downward-firing speaker offers a great performance.
7. Microsoft Lumia 950
This device has a standard speaker, which is neither impressive not a thing to turn down the user. The strongest thing in the device is its mids reproduction, whereas the weakest is its lows.
8. OnePlus 2
We found the OnePlus 2 to have one of the weakest speakers out of all the phones we tested. We were satisfied with the high-end frequencies the OnePlus 2 offered, but felt that its lows and mids reproduction could have been vastly improved. We hope that in future models OnePlus will aim to deliver better speaker quality.
9. Samsung Galaxy S6
Samsung Galaxy S6 outputs an average external speaker sound, which is highly impressive. The device could have surely benefitted from getting a downward firing dual stereo design or dual front-facing speakers.
10. Sony Xperia Z5
Sony Xperia Z5 can neither be good or bad. It comes in the middle, because of its somewhat disappointing soundstage and imposing mids and highs. Though Sony has indeed done an upright job in tuning all frequencies for majority of listeners but its mids are a slightly unnaturally boosted, which create a rather abnormal and dull sound.
These are the top picks from our end, select the one which meets your music requirement the most!
