I can't see a thing 'cause I'm not part of that group, but thank you anyways :) Waiting for more info about its sound. Hope that DAC/AMP got the same output power of NEX' S combo, and maybe less bassy. That would be just perfect ♥

Anyone here tried out Vivo X27 Pro with AK4377A? Any difference comparing to NEX S (CS43199 & SMM66322)? I'm so much on hype for those wide-angle and 48MP sensors :L3000:

Wait patiently, I just wrote a news about its price drop. Some US resellers opened pre-orders with and instant 200$ discount together with a 256GB San Disk Ultra for free. V40's gonna be priced half of it in about 4 months ಠ‿ಠ

Ain't sure about that, check this post on XDA Developers. As they say, tho, it's not possible since vivo doesn't mean to release any info to get a bootloader unlock.

NES S arrived just 3 days ago. I've already configured it and tested a lot of songs in High and Low gain mode. Here's my audio-dedicated review: you should be able to transalte it from italian with Google, reading from Chrome mobile. Panel quality is superb, no uniformity issues, aboslutely...

Nice! Also, I forgot to ask you another thing: does triggering High Gain mode on NEX S (with an adapter or anything else) boost the output power properly, like on LG phones with DAC? Edit: my bad. I was googling it and found right out your post about that. Thanks anyways for your feedback :)

As I said before, I found Note 9 more spacious and dynamic, mostly on really deep bases, giving 'em a little boost, but not that much to degrade overall clarity. However V30 excels in details, probably because of that V or U shaped signature (depending on the DAC filter you're using); I'd say...

Note 9 has a nice dynamic and 3D, energic sound. Output power is not even comparable tho, V30 destroys Note if you need to drive power-hungry cans. On the other hand Galaxy S9 has slightly more volume although a bit less clearer sound.

They upgraded OLED technology on V40, so chanches are minimal now. By the way, battery life seems worse and not so optimized like it was on V30, as early reviewers are saying on the web. It has the same DAC chip you find on G7 and V30 tho.

Absolutely yes, those are some shots of my V30s,.all of them showing weird brightness issues in something had to be pure black. Here you go: https://m.imgur.com/a/P02yf

Sure. I write articles and reviews for an italian blog, Evosmart, and got to know about the NEX A and S through my editor in chief. He always got 6 to 9 hours with moderate usage, he was the guy suggested me this phone because of the DAC and top notch battery life, since I was looking for...

Absolutely fantastic news, I could never imagine Vivo was "hiding" an High Gain mode triggerable through an adapter aswell. I'll let you know soon about sound signature, using ATH M50X and Samsung Earphones by AKG.

Is that a "yes"? :ksc75smile:

Ok bois, I've placed again my order for Vivo Nex S, this time on a reliable worldwide site. Shipping will take two to three weeks, I'll let you know how this baby sounds in comparison to my LG HiFi Plus in High and Max Gain (AUX and High Impedance mode, just like LG ESS DAC phones). From an...

You can solve Image retention by downloading a blue light filter, setting it to black with 10% to 20% opacity. If your G5/V20/V10 are rooted there's a permanent fix through RGB settings, but for this solution I suggest you to check out more infos on XDA Devs forums.
