Hi everyone ! I really need your help ! I'm searching for a smartphone to buy under 350 euros(around 300 would be great) ! I've done a lot of search for many many hours (believe me ) reading reviews for sound and performance but i can't decide because  everyone has a different opinion for the same thing.I want a smartphone with  good sound quality and LOUD volume too (for headphones only i don't mind the speaker so i can listen to my favourite jazz music in the bus without disturb) ,sd card slot , good performance and flac compatibility.I prefer a model of 2016.I know i'm asking too much for my budget but i'd love to listen to your suggestions.I'm really sorry for my english...Thank you ! 


Consider the LG G3.
Can still be had new in EU for around 300 euro. Check your local Amazon.
Can be upgraded to Android 6. Has an SD card slot.
Great music quality. I recently had a chance to compare mine to the G5 and didn't find any real difference to the G5 in terms of sound quality.
Been using my G3 for a couple of years as main music source and it has been faultless and a pleasure to use.

Do you find the g3 loud enough? All the LG series except the v10 and v20 have low output to me

Good news but you know what: no microsd slot, which is a shame since it is still dual sim.
Why in hell did they remove the possibility to use the second sim slot for memory ?
It kills what made the Pro 5 such a great phone/DAP. Who wants to be limited to 64/128Gb ?
 
Chinese phones designers nowadays: streaming is great, let's remove the microsd slot, let's even remove the jack socket, because Apple did it and we HAVE to follow Apple.
No common sense at all...

Yes go update it.
 
If I remember correct, 5.5.013s is the last version of android 5. After you finish update to this FW, There will be the FW 5.8.20S to update it to android 6. The reason of double steps is because moving from 5 to 6, FW has to re-arrange a lot of things which it contains in 13s.

Did you update to 5.9? They removed the equalizer app which is annoying but it seems to be very stable for me

Ah yeah I remember wrong. It is now 5.9.020S. not 5.8
 
Yes I update already. Everything is very stable to me.

Thanks for recommending the X900, it has the best sound quality I ever heard on any phone so far with amazing details and I don't think I will find anything to replace it for a while :p

In the price range below $300, I still cannot find other phones (or even DAP in this price range) which can win over this. If you want a huge improvement, you might need to spend more tons of money.

Yep for the price it's impressive with that huge 2k screen. Too bad LeEco decided to move to CDLA with its type C port with its newer models
