Nice one, for a great price too. B20 lte stands for lte800 in Europe right?

I love how AMOLED screen looks but the thing is it has issue of screen burn So i prefer the IPS than the AMOLED

Trying to Find a DAC phone with Dual SIM which is trickier than u think. My wife has a pair of Sony Blutooth Headphones with LDAC.
Where in the pipeline is LDAC used, is it
1. Source file or Stream -> LDAC Blutooth -> Headphones
2. Source file or Stream -> DAC -> LDAC Blutooth -> Headphones

I guess what Im getting at is, if you have LDAC headphones and Android oreo phone with LDAC (doesnt have to be sony) does having a DAC make any difference?

Anybody know if the stock player in an LG V30 will play ALAC files?

Thanks!

Hello guys. I am new to this forum and hoping to gain some new audio knowledge from all the experts here. I need some advice on upgrading my Huawei P9 Lite which is able to suit my music preferences (I listen mainly to EDM, Trance, Electro). I am currently using two phones; iPhone 6s Plus and Huawei P9 Lite. In a nutshell, my current setup is car stereos which I hook them up via an AUX cable. I did prefer the iPhone 6s Plus as the music feels richer and the bass is punchier however it is my work phone and i am always busy using it thus leaving my Huawei P9 Lite idle. Looking at the Excel chart, Letv Max900 seems to the mobile phone for me but unfortunately it is not available in my country(Malaysia) and the alternatives are only the LG V20 and ZTE Axon 7/Mini. I would like to know if there is another smartphone similar to the Letv Max 900 specs or would a portable amp improves the output for Huawei P9 Lite?

Axon7 would be nearest alternative for your music genre.

Was in the same dilemma as you and ended up going for the LG V20. No regrets, great phone. Drives my 250ohm DT880 well, VSD 5S and Denon D2000 well. Sounds great and good phone all round. Got it from Lazada (T&L Telecom).

Why does no one talk about S8 Exynos SQ? is it really that bad?
