I own Samsung Galaxy SIII (gt-i9300) and root them with Boeffla Kernel.
I don't switch my phone even my phone has wifi issue and charging issue. Because I'm pretty much fall in love with my phone for music.
I'm trying not to be sarcastic and really want to have alternative but no matter what phone i tried, my S3 is the best. I tried my dad's Sony Xperia XA and the volume is not as strong as my SIII even with volume max out. (using Superlux HD681).
even my dad tried to volume up with my headphone but not satisfy with the volume.
I tried Lenovo AH3000 tab, same result, mediocre volume at max (with Dolby disabled)
My SIII (with Boeffa Kernel), set with max out Boeffla sound audio output, somehow powers heavier headphone at decent volume at max. I tried Sony Z1R headphone with my phone, i can hear bass reproduction fine, albert at decent volume at max.
i even tried to be a bit selfish at headphone store and tried Beyerdynamic T1p, at max volume, the output volume is fine, i can sense bass reproduction. obviously with dedicated amp will sound better but what im trying to say is, my phone with Boeffla Kernel can output higher impedance headphone.
what i trying to believe, is that Boeffla Kernel remove the volume output limit of my S3 and can output more.
Right now (and while im typing), my phone has a major issue with charging, my phone won't charge properly. Last night, my phone was at 9% and i charge them overnight, spending almost an hour to just unplug and replug the usb till i get charging. I checked again another hour and get 25%. When i woke up, my phone wont turn on and i guess my phone runs out of juice... freaking dem it...
I know i should repair my phone but is an old phone (5 years) and i think i should change my phone. but for now, budget is an issue...
So, within my criteria below, any good phone that performs similar or greater than my SIII?
1. Not more than $200 (
1. Good audio output through audio jack (obviously)
2. Must not more than 5" (well, actually, is not the screen size but the phone's width. i dont want any phone wider tham my SIII. but S7's width is fine. i really want something like Z3 compact size)
3. Must have gyro (for VR entertainment)(i bought VR set but kinda disappointed that most phone do not supports them... my phone did but poor performance)
4. (optional) Should have Custom kernel support for overclocking, sound tweak, etc, similarly like Boeffla kernel
I found out Lenovo Vibe X3, K4 note, Meizu MX4 Pro, HTC One M8 are good but too big for me. Please dont mention iPhone series because i am very determined that my SIII is better than iPhone 4 series, iPhone 5 series (including s ver)
Galaxy S6 is good but still expensive... having a thought of getting Galaxy S5 but still to big for me...
Supposely i would want Sony Xperia Z1 compact or Z3 compact or Z5 compact but without dedicated DAC and my experience with my dad's Xperia XA, i felt disappointed
