Best Smartphone for audiophile Part II (Updated: Jan 2020)

I want to wait until the end of this year to find out what new smartphones will come out, in hopes that there will be a worthy phone with a good DAC. I was hoping for lg g7 but LG crushed my hopes. I need to give my current phone to my brother soon, so I will need a phone until October. I am looking for a phone that has a great DAC, something similar to lg V20 but a bit cheaper. All I want is that it has NFC. I don't care about screen or any specs as it will be just until October and then a backup phone. All I want is that I can listen to good music on it and can pay with NFC. And my budget is £250. Any ideas anyone? Thank you for your help in advance
ZTE Axon 7 Mini. Very nice DAC, NFC too. Throw in a nice 5.2 OLED screen and other premium amenities, (which you don't care about,) and you get a real winner. You can even talk to people on it :wink:

HTC 10 got a good bass and subbass?
The problem with HTC's according to reviews is their camera though. How was your experience with the camera of HTC 10?

Typical camera quality. HTC is always focused on basshead.

Haven’t seen this mentioned but is the Meizu Pro 5 and Vivo Xplay 6 equal?

How do they compare in Vocals, Warmth, extension and soundstage?

Vocal: same level of smoothness. But xp6 have a little more forwarded mid.

Warmth: If pro5: 10, v20: 7.5, xp6: 8.5

Extension: xp6 has better extension both low and high ends.

Depth soundstage: same level

Width soundstage: xp6 is much wider. Feel better transparency.
