My HTC 10 is starting to die on me... battery of course... anyways, time to upgrade. What's the consensus for best phone current for music? LG30/40 or maybe Samsung S10+? Thanks!!

If vivo is not an option, lg v30+ is the way to go. Dont go for s10+. The sound is mediocre.

Why do you say that?
Measurements clearly show that s10+ is a beast in the audio department.

Then answer me.

do their measurement say how extended treble is?
how sweet the mid is?
And how deep the bass can go compared to other devices?

Hi people could you recommend me something around 400$? Honor or redmi or samsung aseries? or to buy g8tinq on credit? Camera is not very important but will be good if the phone have Great audio and decent camera.

Is it OK to buy a refurbished one from aliexpress? do you have other recommendations of where to buy the phone? I wanted this device badly 2 years ago and I currently have honor play with Kirin 970, is this a better device? we need (B3 1800+) for the LTE network

What about the Meizu 16x? I read in the reviews on aliexpress from a russian that it has a hifi chip built in. I am prettz sure it does not have an external D/A but maybe it has the amplifier from the 16th (non-plus) in it? The price is in general already attractive but would then be outstanding. It is available from 28th on aliexpress for 245$ (minus maybe some $ from additional vouchers)

They're all tmobile and at&t versions, i checked aliexpress

I believe aliexpress will have a big discount during 28-31 Mar. Maybe buy at that time.

I still have my HTC10 but the SD card slot died so I decided to move on. I'm using the LG G7 ThinQ and it's a great replacement. Along with Hi-Fi Quad settings it has DTS:X Surround that gives you the options of wide, front and side to side immersion sound.that are a nice add on to bluetooth..
