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.

Hey all. I'm here again to update you that unfortunately I had to cancel my NEX S order after I've gotta hear a friend about software problems after importing and an immense lacking of customer care from the shop I've chosen. Now I'm stuck with an Xperia X Compact and LG HiFi Plus DAC/AMP, which...

Hi everyone, I just ordered a Vivo Nex S. Reading the Google Docs tab I saw no information about this phone' sound quality, so I could help you once I'll receive it testing it versus my LG V20. I'm not an expert here, so I'll leave my feedback in this discussion when it'll be ready to share...

  Sounds nice. But... how to make a Wi-Fi call to the V10 to try this method?

  The H960 version is the european one, and it has 32GB of internal storage and support the LTE 800 Mhz band too. The H961N version is the asian one. it has 64GB of internal storage, Dual Sim slot but doesn't support the LTE 800 Mhz band. The H901 is the USA version. It has 64GB of internal...

  Thank you for the support! I'm sorry I didn't found some secure ways to do that, but when I saw this phenomenon on my phone I just would to share it with all of you, hoping to help others with my experience. It's a pity that only mine got this High-Impedance bug (or maybe only the european...

  Seems like the thing is getting more randomic than expected. Unfortunately it is a hassle to repeat it for every reset, but it's the only way to get the full power from the DAC without carrying any portable AMP to listen music while moving with low-impedance headphones.   Anyway I'm getting...

You're welcome!   Nope, you only need (if you want to try the Method 2) a jack adapter / extender. I don't own High-Impedance headphones however I had succes into bugging it ^_^

The video is now online!   IMPORTANT - Please note: these methods work "luckily". One time I reached 16 failed tries getting the right one after these. When you get the High-Impedance mode PIN the Hi-Fi DAC Settings by the multitasking menu (watch the screenshot at the end of the video to know...

  Also keep in mind that the giant screen(s) of 5.7" + 2.1" @517ppi are the main responsibles of the battery drop. I suggest everyone to use playlists to prevent excessive battery consumes. Playing music withouth turning on the screen too many times will help a lot to save V10 battery.

  It's going better my friend, just some random pain attack on the operated area... that unfortunately is getting me much of the times on deep night, in fact in this week I'm sleeping not more than 4 ~ 5 hours per day, but I don't know why I feel anyway energized during the daytime.   I wrote...
