The volume of any device is measured in decibels perceived by the human ear (12 Hz to 20 kHz in ideally quiet conditions). Moreover, the perception starts from 0 to 120 decibels (possibly up to 130), but since the noise only in the office is 40 dB, then you need to select the device individually.
Loud smartphones
According to research by competent specialists, the lowest sound is inherent in the HTC One (M8) (75.2 decibels), and it has quite quality speakers Boom Sound brands. With regard to hardware, everything is also in order - a quad-core processor, 2 GB of RAM and 16 or 32 GB of internal memory. There are two good camcorders... The battery capacity is enough for 2600 megapixels.
The next in a kind of rating of loud devices are the Meizu MX4 model with 80 dB, LG G3 and the Samsung Galaxy S5 phone with 81 dB, Xiaomi Redmi 2. Comfortable headphones reliably protect from ambient sounds, similar display sizes (4.7 to 5.4 inches). The inner shell impresses with its constancy to the use of advanced technological innovations, this is especially noticeable in Meizu - there is a sound unit of the Wolfson WM8281 version, which allows you to get high-quality high-quality sound at the output. The power of the Lji speaker in one kilowatt is provided directly by the amplifier of the model. IN samsung model especially well worked out low frequencies, which together create images of the entire device as a whole. Finally, Xiaomi also has excellent sound, popular among young people.
Samsung Galaxy S6 active and Galaxy Note 4 (83 - 84 dB) are not far from the above smartphones. The eight-core proprietary processor of the Exynos 7420 version in the Galaxy S6 active allows the operation of two video cameras, the sound of clips of which takes into account good bass (for rockers this is an indispensable quality). And the battery is designed for 3500 mAh, which is far from average. For Note 4, loud, high-quality sound is provided by the Wolfson Microelectronics audio amplifier (WM5110E). Two cameras (16 / 3.7 Mp) are responsible for multimedia content, with a total hardware of 3 gigs of RAM and 32 gigs of internal memory.
The new product from Samsung Galaxy Note Edge with its 87 decibels will impress buyers with yet another power. The amplifier is responsible for the sound, like the Note 4, but with a higher performance. Charging slightly faster than its prototype, this model has its fans in the global mobile technology market.
Loudest models
But some of the loudest in 2016 are still the representatives of the "apple" production - iPhone 7 Plus and iPhone 7. Their sound indicators approached 105 decibels, which is quite high for the perception of an ordinary person. These sound flagships are distinguished by clear high sound, which is perfectly perceived not only from the speakers, but also from the headphones. Proprietary processors, superb display resolution and video cameras provide music fans with an unforgettable leisure time.
And, finally, the loudest device of our time is generally recognized Marchall london... Its sound threshold will impress even experienced acousticians - 121 dB. An English company specializing in music devices has endowed the mobile device with simply unique properties. For headphones, not one, but two outputs are provided (provides for two listeners at the same time). Powerful deep sound is created by an audio chip (Wolfson WM8281) with amplifier and stereo speakers. Music player, the possibility of simultaneous recording through two speakers - what else does a music lover need? Only cool headphones and a full charge of 2500 mAh battery. The rest of the Marshall London is a mid-generation smartphone and a budget line.
One of the most affordable smartphones for an audiophile. Asahi Kasei AK4962 D / A converter, loud and high quality stereo speakers, Dolby Atmos equalizer for fine tuning sound. And most importantly - only 24 thousand for a smartphone that sounds better than flagship Samsung or iPhone!
The following can be said about the sound: a rich “middle”, in which low and high frequencies remain “decorations” and fade into the background. In "slow-moving" such a sound, as they say, takes a soul, in music tracks as a whole it gives out new details where you expect to hear only the monotonous bubbling of a bass guitar or sounds produced by a synthesizer.
The speakers are full and loud - without a hint of "bass", but with very spacious and correct sound at any volume due to well-coordinated work high ("buzzer") and medium (melody, vocals) frequencies. In general, Axon 7 mini will be loved by those who distinguish the sound in modern mobile phones, even in spite of its shortcomings.
And the disadvantages of this model, I must say, are enough - if the AMOLED display is of high quality and does not cause questions, then old processor Snapdragon 617 pulls the system shell and applications without enthusiasm, "through I can not." Cameras also do not indulge in quality and are approximately equal to those in mobile phones, which are half the price. The autonomy of the music ZTE is also not happy - it's good if it lasts until the end of the day. But the Axon 7 mini charges quickly - Qualcomm support helps Quick Charge 2.0.
Highscreen Boost 3 SE Pro
Can a Russian smartphone sound better than its American, Korean and Japanese competitors? It turns out that maybe - Boost 3 cannot be called a comprehensively developed smartphone, but the sound in the headphones of this unpretentious-looking model is impressive.
You can say that the ESS9018K2M DAC itself is not ultra-cool to sing its praises to, but it's not the size that matters, but the skill, as the experienced young ladies say. So, about the skill: Highscreen managed to deliver an audio stream so that Android would not spoil it on the way (well, Google did not expect that “ green robot"Will be used by people who want better sound than YouTube audio tracks!). And the Boost 3 SE pleases with the absence of automatic "enhancers" piled on top of the system - all the power of the ADA4897-2 amplifier is available immediately, in the audio player, and can be controlled directly. So much so that overdoing it, and not go deaf for long! But beginners will not get to such settings, and experienced guys will be able to adjust the sound for themselves in such a way that "nothing else is needed."
Highscreen Boost 3 SE Pro
However, the rest of the Boost 3 is not a luxury, but a vehicle. It looks cheap, with a gluttonous old processor, a cheap screen, a low-quality speaker, terrible cameras, an audio player scary like my life ... In addition to the sound, this model has only a cool autonomy (do you remember, old people of the mobile industry, about the famous smartphones -long-livers of the Boost series?), and everything else barely pulls 17 thousand rubles, with the Xiaomi Mi5 alive. But Boost 3 is inexpensive, maintainable, and very much loved by audiophiles for the permissiveness in adjusting the sound and its detail in headphones. Will not be left without attention.
Meizu Pro 6 Plus
Fastest smartphone with high quality sound... The long-suffering model Meizu Pro 6 did not take off at first, because instead of the long-awaited samsung processors the Chinese were forced to install a deca-core, hot, gluttonous and non-flagship in speed MediaTek Helio X25 (aka MT6797T). It didn't work out very well - the smartphone, of course, sounded good, but it frustrated with heat, poor autonomy and did not shine in games.
Pro 6 Plus was released only at the end of 2016, when Huawei with its 6-inch shovel has already intercepted the palm in terms of speed. Therefore, the novelty failed to break through the level of the old Meizu Pro 5 (with a record-fast processor, like the Galaxy S6, but better sound and faster performance).
Meizu Pro 6 Plus
Yes, and the goblin would be with him, with performance - it is at the level of Snapdragon 820, that is, cool enough to feel at ease even with a Quad HD display on board. Another thing is important - we have before us a smartphone, rare in Russian retail, which is capable of “piling up” in games equally well, taking high-quality photos, and when all this gets bored - please with high-quality sound in headphones.
Compared to the already mentioned smartphones in this article, the Pro 6 Plus does not sound so passionate, "high in calories" and hysterical, but the ESS ES9018K2M DAC definitely outperforms all audio processors integrated into your Snapdragons, and the ADI AD45275 amplifier "pumps" even massive headphones. If you want figurative comparisons, Meizu Pro 6 Plus is like a sports SUV - it is capable of "piling" on the asphalt and kneading dirt. With such versatility, no one cares anymore that “UAZs”, like the Highscreen, are able to impress the owner to a greater extent off-road.
Vivo X7 Plus
But don't "what a miracle is this?" - in China, Vivo is super popular and loved. In Russia, only a select few know about it - enthusiasts who do not hesitate to tinker with the firmware in order to Russify it or add Google services to smartphones developed by the Chinese for the Chinese.
However, today we are talking about sound and what smartphones can provide in addition to this very sound. The Vivo X7 Plus offers the AK4376 DAC, a converter that has been designed with the tradeoffs in power consumption, power handling and other nuances in smartphones in mind.
That is, do not expect the concept of “we sacrificed everything to make the sound cool” from the X7 Plus - this model is just about how to take a little bit of everything and create a balanced smartphone.
So - Full HD AMOLED display, 4000 mAh, thin metal body, 4 GB random access memory and severe $ 590 (~ 35 thousand rubles) for a "china phone" with good sound... Impudence? Maybe, but there is an opinion that millions of Chinese cannot be wrong.
ZTE Nubia Z11
If you are not Chinese and are not going to buy some kind of Vivo out there only for patriotic reasons and an imaginary balance of characteristics, here's the coolest audiophile mobile phone of our time. Second ZTE on our list? Yes, but what can you do if Samsung and Huawei are not interested in high-quality sound in smartphones (at least until 2017) in general, LG is not able to bring the sound of its V10 / V20 to a competitive level, and HTC almost always glues the BoomSound nameplate on the model with a standard (albeit flavored equalizer) Snapdragon "under the hood" or, at best, is content with a discrete DAM from Qualcomm?
Portable players gained popularity very quickly in the last decade, wiping out cassette and disc players. But it turned out that they were not destined to sit on the throne for a long time. Just as quickly, mobile phones were forced to forget about pocket MP3-players, taking over all their functions (and even more). Some budget-class players are now produced by the Chinese and do not cause much interest due to their mediocre sound. Pocket players try to maintain their position in the Hi-End category, surpassing phones in sound quality. However, among mobile phones there are already many devices that can compete with players for several hundred dollars. Our rating of smartphones with good sound is dedicated to them.
It is clear that you should not expect good (in general, and not by the standards of smartphones) speaker sound from a mobile phone. There are standout devices that are noticeably ahead of competitors in this regard, but their capabilities pale in comparison to more or less decent acoustics. The reason lies in the fact that a small speaker is physically unable to produce powerful bass, in its frequency spectrum there will always be an upward skew.
Great sound is much easier with headphones. To do this, you need to install a normal discrete DAC (digital-to-analog converter), which converts a set of discrete signals of a recorded track into sinusoidal electrical impulses fed to a speaker and forming sound waves. A separate amplifier is also needed to increase the power of the audio signal. Without it, it will be problematic to swing any headphones, except for cheap "plugs". The best smartphones in terms of sound quality in our selection meet these requirements.
All smartphones with good sound presented in the selection below were released in 2016 or 2017, equipped with up-to-date and productive hardware, Android OS version 6 or higher, and are distinguished by a balance of other characteristics. The exception is the iPhone 6s: it appeared at the end of 2015. However, the stock of relevance for Apple technology is slightly larger than that of competitors, so for iPhone 1.5 years is not old age. We decided not to include the 7 because the lack of the still relevant 3.5 mm jack is perceived ambiguously.
HTC U Ultra - a powerful music cameraphone
HTC has always focused on good sound and the HTC U Ultra is no exception. This is a flagship device based on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 chipset, equipped with a 5.7 ″ screen with a 2560x1440 resolution. The capacity of the RAM is 4 GB. A DAC is responsible for playing sound, which supports decoding of 16-bit audio with a sampling rate of up to 192 kHz.
You can record music in internal memory, with a capacity of 64 or 128 GB. If this is not enough, and you want to put the audio library in LoseLess format, you can use a memory card. The smartphone also has good camera 12 MP, equipped with an optical stabilizer, an additional 2-inch display-indicator and a 3000 mAh battery.
Meizu Pro 6 Plus - almost Samsung
Meizu started out as a manufacturer of MP3 players, so it's no surprise that it also pays great attention to sound quality in phones. Meizu Pro 6 Plus is a flagship device built using Samsung components. It is equipped with a powerful Exynos 8890 processor, 4 GB of RAM and 64 or 128 GB of storage. A DAC is responsible for playing music, which supports decoding of 32-bit audio at 192 kHz. This is more than enough to get high quality sound of tracks in FLAC, so headphones are needed to match the device (Chinese for 200-300 UAH will obviously not be enough).
Besides the processor, from Samsung Meizu The Pro 6 Plus also received a screen. He's the same as Galaxy Note 5, with a diagonal of 5.7 ″ and a resolution of 2560x1440 pixels. But the camera for this musical device was made by Sony (however, the Japanese also produce them for the flagships of Samsung), but the software for it is also samsung. The camera is equipped with a 12 MP matrix with enlarged pixels and optical stabilization. The picture quality can be called excellent, almost like in the Galaxy S7. But they ask for the device only from 10 thousand, which is not so much against the background of the same Samsung.
Samsung Galaxy S7 - compact flagship
Samsung has already unveiled the new flagship S8, but the Galaxy S7 remains interesting. After all, it costs significantly less than the new item, and you can buy it now (at the time of writing the material, there are 3 weeks left before the release of the S8 in Ukrainian retail). Among other things, the list of its characteristics includes a DAC that supports decoding of audio in 24-bit format, with a sampling rate of up to 192 kHz. The Exynos 8890 chipset is good in many tasks, and 4 GB of RAM is also pleasing. You can store your music in 32 or 64 GB of internal memory, and if not enough, add a USB flash drive.
The display of the device has a diagonal of 5.1 ″, but a high resolution of 2560x1440 pixels. The camera pleases not with the resolution (which is only 12 MP), but with enlarged pixels, increased light transmission ability of optics, and optical stabilization. Therefore, the Galaxy S7 is not only the best music smartphone 2017 from this company, but also the best cameraphone on the market in general. the battery capacity is only 3000 mAh, but in terms of autonomy, the device is not inferior to devices with a thicker battery. Of course, the gadget is not very cheap, but if you need a gadget that combines good sound and a camera with a bright screen and small dimensions, it's worth it.
Apple iPhone 6s - musical and with apple
Apple once became famous for its MP3 players, but the release of the iPhone made its own adjustments. Mobile devices equipped with a separate DAC inherited all the advantages of the players, and even expanded their functionality. On paper, the decoder parameters are not very impressive: 16 bit, up to 44 kHz. But even this is more than is required for MP3 and is quite enough for listening to LoseLess formats such as rips of Audio CD. The apple gadget has a powerful processor with strong graphics, 2 GB of RAM and from 16 to 128 GB permanent memory for storing music.
The 6s is the latest iPhone to feature a standard headphone jack. This is a smartphone for music lovers who do not want to switch to new models of headphones or use adapters. Also on board is a good 12MP camera and a 4.7-inch touch screen. Although the battery is small (1700 mAh), the power consumption is balanced, and the autonomy is normal.
LG G6 - frameless and musical
Sharp's release of smartphones with minimal bezels around the display was of no particular interest to anyone. But as soon as Xiaomi did it, others rushed to create something similar. The first bezel-less flagship of 2017 from a well-known brand is the LG G6. The new flagship of the Korean company received an elongated 5.7-inch display with a resolution of 2880x1440 pixels. It occupies almost the entire front panel, and therefore the G6 is even more comfortable in the hand than 5.5-inch "regular" phablets. Also on board is the Snapdragon 821 chipset, 4GB of RAM and 32GB or 64GB of ROM for files. There is also a slot for a flash drive.
A DAC is responsible for the sound in the device, decoding 32-bit digital signal with a frequency of up to 192 kHz. The device also has dual camera, supporting optical stabilization, on the back and a 3300 mAh battery. Despite using last year's chipset, the gadget is really powerful and demonstrates decent battery life.
Huawei P10 - Chinese music flagship
Huawei has been experimenting with two cameras for a long time, and Leica engineers have been involved in the development of optics for them since 2016. It is not known exactly how great this participation is, and what else, apart from the logo, is there from Leica, but the cameras shoot with dignity. The device is powered by the Kirin 960 chipset, one of the most powerful smartphone chips ever. The sound is processed by a decoder capable of "digesting" a 24-bit signal with a frequency of up to 192 kHz. You can store music in 32 or 64 GB of internal storage or expand the space with a microSD flash drive.
The device is equipped IPS display 5.1 ″ with FullHD resolution. Cameras have a resolution of 12 MP (main color) and 20 MP (additional black and white, which enhances the clarity of the photo). The battery capacity is 3200 mAh. Everything in this device is excellent, but only the lack of an oleophobic coating let us down. It interfered with the operation of the fingerprint scanner, so it was abandoned. So the user will have to carry a cleaning cloth with him, as he collects prints faster than usual.
LG V20 - Music and Dual Screen
LG V20 - best smartphone for a music lover who not only listens to music, but also shoots a video. If you are a frequent visitor to concerts and want to capture the most outstanding parts of them, this is the device for you. A DAC is responsible for sound reproduction, supporting a 32-bit signal with a frequency of up to 192 kHz. The sound subsystem is certified by B&O, a renowned manufacturer of expensive acoustics. But that's not all: in addition to the DAC, the V20a also has an ADC (analog-to-digital converter) for microphones, recording 24-bit audio at 48 kHz. With him, filming the performance of your favorite artists, you will not hear a disgusting gurgle instead of a bass part, or an unpleasant squeal instead of a high-pitched solo.
The main screen of the device has a diagonal of 5.7 ″, with a resolution of 2560x1440 pixels. A small 2-inch display is called to help him, showing the time, notifications and other useful information on a locked device. Built-in memory 32 or 64 GB, there is a slot for a flash drive. There is also a proprietary dual camera equipped with laser autofocus. This is a decent device for an audiophile, in terms of parameters close to the G6, but sold much cheaper.
Greetings friends!

Equipment
Smartphone comes in a compact cardboard box 
Inside, everything is standard: the smartphone itself, charger, cable, instructions, warranty card and film on the screen. By the way, another one is glued under the factory film with the inscriptions, so there is no point in gluing a new one. 
Charger with an output current of 1A 
Design and ergonomics
The design of the device is quite successful in my opinion. There is no feeling at all that this is a budget smartphone for $ 70-80. 
The front panel contains: speaker, proximity sensor, event indicator, camera and flash. As well as three touch buttons, the purpose of which the manufacturer has kindly signed) 
The back panel is a plastic perforated cover, very pleasant to the touch. At the back are the main camera with flash and the same speaker, which is record-breaking in terms of volume and dimensions. 
It is certainly not visible, only the mesh is open to the eye. So let's check what's hiding there. The lid sits very tightly, it is not so easy to remove it. But after a while I opened the contents! 
The speaker is really huge (25 x 35mm)! 
You can walk down the street like a real gopnik and listen to your favorite music at maximum volume) People around will appreciate the volume)) How it sounds we will check later. So far, an external examination. 
Since we got inside, let's see what else is interesting there. Two slots for SIM and one for memory cards 
2500mah battery 
Another one is glued under the shipping film. 
At the bottom there is a microphone 
And on top there is a Micro-USB connector and 3.5mm Jack 
On the right side of the metal frame there are volume rockers and a power button 
The left side is empty 
The smartphone fits perfectly in the hand after 5.5 inch shovels) 
Well, first impressions are extremely positive! Great build, metal frame and huge speaker. The dimensions are very comfortable (140 * 75 * 9 mm), and the weight is very pleasant to the hand (164 grams). 
Display
The diagonal of the display, as I said above, is 5 inches. IPS matrix with a resolution of 1280 by 720 pixels. The brightness, contrast and clarity of the image are very decent, although they do not reach the level of flagships. The glass is made using 2.5D technology. 
Viewing angles are close to 180 degrees, and the picture almost does not distort colors when viewed from different sides at an angle. 
Software part
The VKWolrd T3 smartphone is running an operating room android systems 5.1 Lollipop. There is nothing unusual here, no changes, shells, pre-installed Chinese software, everything is standard. The touchscreen has a normal touch response, no lags or interface slowdowns were found. 
The system defines 16 GB of internal memory, 14.44 GB is available to the user 
Performance
The MT6735 processor with the Mali-T720 video accelerator is responsible for the operation of the device. The amount of RAM is 2 GB, and the permanent memory is 16 GB. The novelty is controlled by operating system Android 5.1. 
In anttuu benchmark, the device showed the expected for this processor result 24493 parrots 
Wireless technology
GPS Test found satellites quickly enough 
There are also no problems with Navitel and Yandex navigator, the smartphone can be used for this purpose.
With Wi-fi, things are also good, access points are found quickly, the connection is stable. 
Source through the wall in the next room 
Two meters from the source 
Cameras
The main 13 megapixel camera with autofocus and LED backlight shoots well in good lighting. In the dark, noises appear and it is not very visible) But this is, in general, a standard. I didn’t expect anything supernatural from the camera. In this price range, smartphones that I have met take worse photographs.
Sample images with the main camera 
5 MP front camera. The quality is satisfactory, but not superb of course ... It is worth praising the manufacturer for the front flash, selfies can be taken in the dark) 
Battery
The manufacturer claims the battery capacity is 2500Mah 
The readings agree with the tester, the manufacturer did not deceive 
The battery will last for one day of active use or one and a half or two in a gentle mode.
Sound
The sound from the speaker is really very loud. Such a ringer volume is suitable for a noisy street when the smartphone is in a bag. You will clearly hear the call. For domestic needs, of course, it is better to make it quieter) The sound quality is not bad, there is no wheezing, crackling or any other sound distortion at maximum volume. Unless I would like more bass in the sound, if we can find fault. The manufacturer decided to follow the brands Iphone 6S and Htc one M9. Boldly, of course, but not without reason this time. 
You can also use your smartphone as a player. At first the sound seemed to me somehow flat, but digging into the settings and putting a tick in front of the sound enhancement system ... the sound really changed. For a smartphone, I think the quality is not bad.
Let's sum up
I personally liked the smartphone. Fairly balanced for its value. Chinese manufacturers who are not the first link are slowly realizing that it will not work to survive in the fierce world of competition by deceiving buyers. It no longer rolls to write on a 5000mah battery, when inside is 1500, etc. AT this smartphone all the declared functionality works correctly, and it is also impossible to find fault with the build quality. I consider this device a worthy competitor to similar devices up to $ 80. Could, of course, include a case to give or surprise with something else)
Let's highlight the main
pros:
Very loud speaker
- High-quality body materials and excellent build
- Decent display quality and viewing angles, 2.5D glass
Minuses:
Poor equipment
- The selfie camera could have been inserted better, since there is a flash
Thanks to all! I hope I helped someone with a choice, this unit objectively deserves attention at least.
The product was provided for writing a review by the store. The review is published in accordance with clause 18 of the Site Rules.
I plan to buy +4 Add to favourites I liked the review 0Most modern smartphones, as we have repeatedly noticed in reviews, do not have an outstanding subsystem responsible for sound. "The sound is loud and clear, but dryish and without bass, everything is bearable in headphones" - 90% of all fall under this description mobile devices on Android. This is not the manufacturers' fault, but rather the limitations of physics. To create a powerful acoustic wave at a low frequency, either a very hard resonator, excited by strong electrical impulses (and then - "goodbye, charge, hello, socket"), or a large speaker is needed. Neither one nor the other, most mobile devices do not.
To somehow stand out against the background of the bulk, smartphone manufacturers focus, if not on frequency diversity, then on sound volume. Miniature DACs and amplifiers allow you to get good sound in headphones (the same Meizu Pro 5 confirms), but physical limitations for speakers cannot be circumvented with their help. Therefore, we have to stand out at least by the fact that the new device does not choke at maximum sound volume.
This collection is dedicated to smartphones with the most loud soundthat are relevant in 2016. Not all of them have been released recently, some have been on the market for a long time, but not every day there are devices with a high speaker volume. An average mobile phone can produce sound at a volume of up to 75 dB. Devices capable of more and got into the collection.
In March 2016, the VKworld T3 was released, costing only about $ 80. The manufacturer positions it as an inexpensive, but the loudest smartphone in the world, suitable for listening to music in any conditions.
According to the developers, the smartphone is capable of delivering sound up to 146 dB. Of course, this is not entirely true (such a volume is produced by a fighter on takeoff), but it generates 80-90 honest decibels. Compared to competitors, it is distinguished by an enlarged speaker: its area is about five times larger than usual, and the rigidity of the resonator is better.
In terms of characteristics, the VKworld T3 does not stand out in anything. It has a five-inch HD screen covered with 2.5D glass and MT6735 quad-core processor. RAM 2 GB, storage - 16 GB, there is a slot for MicroSD. There are two sims, they work in 3G and 4G. OS VKworld T3 - Android 5.1. The front camera is 2 MP, the back is 8 MP. The battery is quite ordinary, at 2500 mAh.
Marshall London - music for two
In August 2015, Marshall, a company specializing in the production of audio equipment, released the London smartphone for about $ 600. As for a gadget with a budget filling (and it is exactly that in it), it is expensive, but for a Hi-Fi player with phone functions, it is very affordable.
The manufacturer claims that "this is probably the loudest smartphone", but does not give the volume level in decibels. However, numbers are useless: the device sounds louder than most competitors, and the stereo speakers even cope with bass. Another feature is two headphone ports, on each of them the sound volume is adjusted separately.
The Marshall London filling is modest, with such characteristics you can find a device for $ 150. 4.7 "screen with HD resolution and qualcomm processor Snapdragon 410.2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of storage are not surprising either. I am glad that a memory card slot is available: without it, there is nowhere in a smartphone for music lovers, because 10 GB will fit at most a dozen or two albums in Loseless. The smartphone works in 3G and 4G networks. It operates under Android 5. The main camera is 8 MP, the front camera is 2 MP. The battery has a capacity of 2500 mAh.
Samsung Galaxy S6 Active - Protected Music
Samsung is releasing protected versions of its flagships for active people. Unfortunately, they are not sold everywhere, but buy a smartphone released in June 2015 on the world trading platforms you can for about $ 700. Besides the increased protection, the manufacturer was able to install a more powerful speaker. The volume of its sound reaches 83 dB. This is a lot, considering that a 10 dB increase in the value means a 2-fold increase in volume. The only pity is that the bass is not very good here, and at maximum volume the sound can "cut" the ear a little.
By characteristics Samsung Galaxy The S6 Active practically does not lag behind the current flagships. The 5.1-inch AMOLED screen has a resolution of 2560x1440 pixels, the maximum for today, except for the Sony Z5 Premium. The processor is an eight-core Exynos Octa 7420. The amount of RAM is 3 GB, internal memory is 32 GB. It's a pity that there is no memory card slot: those who like to carry their audio collection with them would come in handy.
The smartphone is designed to work with 3G and 4G networks, there is only one SIM card. The OS of the device is Android 5 Lolipop, it is worth waiting for the update to version 6.
