The loudest phone in 10 years. Mobile phones are loud

There are not so many smartphones that can compete with portable audio players in sound quality. Often, manufacturers go to marketing tricks and position this or that gadget as “musical”, however, compliance with this criterion is determined not by the presence of built-in sound enhancers in the firmware, which often spoil it, but by the presence of:

  • dedicated DAC (digital-to-analog converter);
  • an amplifier;
  • hi-res audio support.

And if the last paragraph is not mandatory, then a separate DAC and amplifier in a smartphone that claims to be high-quality sound should be in any case. We have prepared for you a selection of devices in which the best, at the beginning of 2017, smartphones with good sound in the headphones are presented. Let's get started.

Onkyo DP-CMX1

The gadget opens our list, which is more like a Hi-Fi player with phone functions than a regular smartphone. DP-CMX1 is the first attempt to enter the mobile technology market of one of the largest manufacturers of audiophile equipment in China, Onkyo.

According to technical specifications, this is a good middle peasant working on a Snapdragon 650 processor with 128 GB of internal and 3 GB of RAM, 16/8 MP cameras and a 5-inch FHD IPS display. The device stands out by the presence of two slots for memory cards that support flash drives up to 246 GB, and an unusual design. DP-CMX1 has a separate volume control wheel, mechanical playback control buttons and two audio outputs - standard 3.5 mm and balanced port.

The audio capabilities of the DP-CMX1 can be considered reference. The device has two dedicated ESS Saber ES9018K2M DACs and two Saber 9601K amplifiers on board, and the smartphone also supports MQA and DSD audio codecs programmatically. Such a pleasure is not cheap - 48 thousand rubles.

iPhone 6S

Cupertino Corporation’s smartphones have always been famous for their good headphone sound due to their use of Cirrus Logic DACs. We decided to include exactly 6S in our rating, since the last apple lacks the traditional 3.5 mm headphone jack, which causes some inconvenience in its operation. However, the problem is not critical and is solved with the help of an adapter worth 800 rubles.

The iPhone 6S uses the Cirrus Logic 338S1201 DAC and an amplifier with an output of 30 mW, which can even swing professional headphones without problems. The only problem with iPhones is the chronic lack of Hi-Fi audio support, which was not even added to iPhone 7. However, if you do not claim to be an audiophile and just want to get a phone with good sound, Apple smartphones will completely satisfy your needs.

Meizu Pro 6 Plus

Meizu became known to the general public precisely as a manufacturer of portable players, and the company does not neglect sound quality in its smartphones. All Meizu MX and Pro line phones are equipped with dedicated DACs, but we will add the latest flagship of the company to the rating, which is good in literally everything.

The cost of the Pro 6 Plus starts at 31 thousand rubles. For this money, you get a smartphone with a 5.7 ’’ 2K AMOLED screen, 4 GB of RAM and 64/128 GB of internal memory, running on an Exynos 8890 processor (similar to the Galaxy Edge 7 chip). The audio path of the smartphone is based on the ES901 DAC, ADI amplifier and Rubycon capacitors, there is support for Hi-Fi audio up to 24/192. With high-quality headphones, the smartphone sounds amazing, this is one of the best solutions on the market.

ZTE Axon 7

ZTE Axon 7 can compete with Mayzu. This unit not only plays excellently in headphones, but also has powerful stereo speakers, due to which it can be used as an average boom box. The smartphone uses a DAC from the cult Japanese company Asahi Kasei - AK4490 and a specially designed amplifier AK4961 for it.

The price of Axon 7 is comparable to the flagship of Meizu - 40 thousand rubles. According to hardware, smartphones are also direct competitors, Axon runs on a Snapdragon 820 chip, has a 2K AMOLED screen, 20 and 8 MP cameras, and 64/4 GB of memory. The smartphone has already been updated to the 7th version of Android and the manufacturer promises continued support for this model in the future.

HTC 10

Despite the fact that the NTS has surrendered its position in the smartphone market, its last flagship turned out to be first-class. In addition to top-end iron, it is primarily of interest to the camera, which uses a 12 MP sensor with unique Dual Pixel technology, and an audio top-end.

The smartphone is equipped with a 24-bit DAC with support for Hi-Res audio, it can cope with the playback of 192/24 audio streams without problems. The volume and quality of music playback from external speakers are also pleasing, in the NTS 10 an unusual stereo pair of two speakers is used, one of which reproduces high frequencies, the second - low and medium, each of which has its own amplifier.

The only significant drawback of the NTS 10 is its price, which exceeds 50 thousand rubles. For this money, the flagships from Meizu and ZTE, in terms of characteristics, look more attractive options.

Alcatel Idol 4S

Idol 4S, from the Alcatel-owned THL Chinese who came under the wing of the Chinese, is able to offer the same audio capabilities as more expensive smartphones for little money (23-25 \u200b\u200bthousand rubles). In Idol, there is a Wolfson DAC and not the most powerful amplifier from an unnamed manufacturer, which together produce a very decent sound.

The main advantage of Idol 4S - stereo speakers developed by JBL, which sound loud, clean and surround. Also included with the device are glasses for virtual reality, which greatly expands the possibility of its use for entertainment purposes. And the phone is not bad for hardware - a 2K AMOLED screen with a diagonal of 5.5 inches, 32/3 GB of memory with the possibility of expanding cards up to 512 GB, cameras with 16 and 8 MP. The upsetting Snapdragon 652 processor is frustrating, but for the money, compromises are expected.

Lenovo Vibe X3

By combination of sound / iron / price, Vibe X3 is one of the most balanced smartphones on the market. This is the flagship Lenovo of the last generation, now available for 15-18 thousand rubles. Vibe X3 boasts an ESS Saber 9018K2M DAC and an OPA1612 amplifier, Wolfson 8281 codec and Hi-Res 192/24 playback are also supported. In the headphones, the phone produces a bright, rich sound with a detailed and wide scene.

Like most good music smartphones, the Vibe X3 has quality stereo speakers. Here they support Dolby Atmos technology, which increases the surround sound. Other characteristics did not disappoint either - Snapdragon 808, 32/3 memory + MicroSD, 20/8 MP cameras, 5.5 FHD IPS screen, thanks to which the phone will remain relevant for the next couple of years.

ZTE Nubia Z11

Z11 is not cheap, almost 30 thousand rubles, and the smartphone fully justifies its money. This is a beautiful gadget with a frameless display, in a thin metal case, having top-end features. On board the Z11 there is a Snapdragon 820, FHT IPS 5.5 ’’ screen, 64/4 GB of expandable memory, and an excellent 16 MP camera.

ZTE engineers did not stint on the Nubia Z11 audio path. The phone is equipped with a dedicated AKM 4376 DAC supporting Hi-Res audio, which provides detailed and clear sound in the headphones. The smartphone’s speaker has only one speaker, of quite good quality, but in terms of volume and sound volume it is seriously losing to stereo speakers in other devices.

LG V20

V20 repeated the sad fate of the previous generation of flagships from LG and failed in the sale. However, the V20, no matter what, is a cool smartphone with an original, albeit controversial design, powerful hardware (820th dragon, 128/6 GB of memory) and a number of chips, the main of which is an additional screen.

For lovers of high-quality sound, the V20 is of genuine interest, since there is an ESS Saber ES9218 DAC inside it, and the famous Bang & Olufsen company was engaged in the development of the software part of the audio path. The smartphone’s audio chip is capable of playing audio with a resolution of 32 Bits and supports the aptX codec, through which a digital signal is transmitted to Bluetooth headphones without loss of quality. Another advantage of the V20 is the availability of Android 7.0 out of the box, however, LG's tarnished reputation with the totally defective G4 model adds doubt when choosing. Price - from 33 thousand rubles.

Highscreen bost 3

Considering smartphones with good sound, one cannot but mention Highscreen Bost 3, at the beginning of 2017 it is one of the most affordable audiophile gadgets. Bost 3 has rather modest characteristics - an MTK6753 processor, 2 GB of RAM, 5 ’’ FHD screen, a mediocre 13 MP camera. However, it has everything you need for high-quality music playback - Saber ESS9018K2M DAC, ADA4897 amplifier, Hi-Res audio support and the possibility of expanding the memory with flash cards.

Bost 3 is capable of playing the heaviest Lossless formats, up to 384/32 bit, talking high-impedance headphones at 500 Ohms with a decent volume margin, and pleasing autonomy - comes with a smartphone 2 batteries, 3000 and 6000 mAh, the latter lasts for 2 days extremely intensive use of the smartphone. In general, Bost 3 can be considered an excellent low-cost phone, if the sound quality is the priority selection criterion.

Equipment

The smartphone comes in a compact cardboard box


Inside, everything is standard: the smartphone itself, a charger, a cable, a manual, a warranty card and a film on the screen. By the way, another one is glued under the factory film with inscriptions, so there is no sense in gluing a new one.

Charger with output current 1A


Design and ergonomics

The design of the device is quite successful in my opinion. There is absolutely no feeling that this is a budget smartphone for $ 70-80.



On the front panel are located: earpiece, proximity sensor, event indicator, camera and flash. And also three touch buttons, the destination of which the manufacturer kindly signed)

The back panel is a plastic perforated lid, a very nice touch. The main camera with a flash and the same record-breaking speaker in volume and dimensions are located behind.


  Of course, it is not visible, only the mesh is open to the eye. So let's check what is hiding there. The cover sits very tightly; removing it is not so simple. But after some time I still opened the contents!

The speaker is really huge (25 x 35 mm)!

You can walk along the street like a real gopnik and listen to your favorite music with maximum volume) People will appreciate the volume)) We’ll check how it sounds later. So far, an external inspection.

Since we climbed inside, let's see what else is interesting there. Two slots for sim and one for memory cards

2500mah battery

Under the shipping film, another is glued.

At the bottom there is a microphone

And on top is a Micro-USB connector and a 3.5mm Jack

On the right side of the metal frame are the volume rocker and power button

The left side is empty.

The smartphone lies perfectly in the hand after 5.5 inch shovels)

Well, first impressions are exceptionally positive! Great build, metal frame and huge speaker. 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. 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 angles.





Software part

The VKWolrd T3 smartphone is running the Android 5.1 Lollipop operating system. There is nothing unusual here, no changes, shells, pre-installed Chinese software, everything is standard. The touchscreen response is normal, lags and brakes of the interface are not detected.



The system determines 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 constant - 16 GB. The novelty is controlled using the Android 5.1 operating system.

In the antitude benchmark, the device showed the expected result for this processor 24493 parrots

Wireless technology

GPS Test quickly detected satellites

There are also no problems with the Navitel and Yandex navigator, the smartphone can be used for this purpose.

With Wi-fi, things are also good, access points are fast, the connection is stable.

Source through a wall in the next room

Two meters from the source

Cameras

The main 13 megapixel camera with autofocus and LED backlight shoots in principle not bad in good light. Noises appear in the dark and not very visible) But this is just a standard. I did not expect anything supernatural from the camera. In this price range, the smartphones I have seen take worse pictures.

Examples of shots with the main camera







5 MP front camera. The quality is satisfactory, but not super of course ... It’s worth praising the manufacturer for the front flash, you can also take a selfie in the dark)





Battery

The manufacturer claims a battery capacity of 2500Mah

The readings converge with the tester, the manufacturer did not deceive

The batteries will last for one day of active use or one and a half or two in 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 the bag. Call clearly hear. For domestic needs, it is certainly better to turn it down) 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 you really find fault. The manufacturer decided to follow the brands of Iphone 6S and HTC One M9. Feel free of course, but not without reason this time.

You can also use your smartphone as a player. At first the sound seemed somehow flat, but delving into the settings and ticking the box next to the sound enhancement system ... the sound really changed. For a smartphone, I think the quality is not bad.

To summarize

I personally liked the smartphone. Balanced enough for its price. Chinese manufacturers are not the first link slowly understand that to survive in the brutal world of competition, cheating customers will not work. It no longer rolls to write on a 5000mah battery when inside 1500, etc. In this smartphone, all the declared functionality works correctly, but it also fails to find fault with the build quality. I consider this device a worthy competitor of similar devices up to $ 80. Could, of course, come with a kit case, which one can give or surprise with something else)

We highlight the main
pros:

Very loud speaker
   - High-quality case materials and excellent assembly
   - Good display quality and viewing angles, 2.5D glass

Minuses:

Poor equipment
   - The selfie camera could be inserted better, since there is a flash

Thanks to all! I hope someone helped with the choice, this device objectively deserves attention at least.

Just a few years ago, the sound quality in the phone as a selection criterion was almost in tenth place. Such a dismissive attitude to this characteristic is connected with the fact that most of the devices showed approximately similar capabilities, and the developers attracted the audience with newer and brighter and more obvious abilities. Nevertheless, specifically for music lovers, each manufacturer sought to offer a separate model with improved musical qualities. Today, in some versions, it is able to compete with budget options for portable speakers. Of course, we are not talking about a full-fledged comparison, taking into account all the parameters of sounding, but the tendency to increase the level of such indicators is becoming more apparent. Along with this, a more responsible task arises of choosing a suitable solution from existing proposals.

What determines the sound quality?

An example of compact digital audio players shows that a small-sized device can also provide good sound quality. Of course, in such gadgets, the entire filling is focused on this function, but engineers also offer very decent playback modules for phones. To begin with, it is worth separating two categories of phones - classic push-button phones and smartphones. The second category initially demonstrates a higher sound level, since it is equipped with a separate processor that processes acoustic signals. This is in some way a special audio chip, the equipment of which improves the quality characteristics of playback. But here, not everything is unambiguous, since the range of parameters is very extensive.

Quality Sound Features

To understand which phones have good sound, you can turn to an analysis of such indicators as the sampling rate and the power of the integrated amplifier. According to experts, the optimal sampling spectrum is from 8 to 96 kHz. As for the amplifier, the most advanced modern developments are equipped with two-channel components with a potential of 3.8 mW. Now you can move on to a more detailed acquaintance with specific representatives of the class of audiophile phones.

Reviews about the model Meizu MX3

This model just belongs to the category of phones in which a high-quality technological basis for sound processing was implemented. In terms of the ability to work with frequency spectra at different levels, the model provokes rather positive reviews. Serious processor training based on two chips strengthened the low frequencies, but at the same time provided details at the top. In general, the reproduction is clean, devoid of noise intrusions and third-party distortion. Again, according to users, soft transitions with pronounced balancing are also clearly visible, which makes it possible to listen to complex compositions with pleasure. But this option is more suitable for those users who need a phone with good sound and without playback through the headphones. This is due not only to the lack of an appropriate headset in the kit, but also, in principle, to high requirements for the earbuds, which can not spoil the transmitted sound picture. As an addition, it is worth noting the ergonomic organization of the multimedia file system, which facilitates the process of controlling the phone player.

Sony Xperia E1 Reviews

For the high quality of any function you have to pay the corresponding money. Practice shows that improving the sound characteristics does not justify itself in low-cost models, so the same audio processors are used in multifunction devices with many other advantages. Such devices cost about 20 thousand rubles, and an example of one of them is the Meizu MX3 model described above. However, the Japanese model Xperia E1 for only 6 thousand offers a very attractive solution, which caused a lot of rave reviews from fans of Sony. The fact is that the budget filling of the device is fully focused on the musical accent. In practice, the use, according to the owners, noted the detail and clear signal processing. It is important to recall here the advantages that phones with good sound quality of the old Walkman series possessed. The Xperia E1 implements the interface of the same system - its users praise for its simplicity and ease of management. By the way, switching songs is possible even through a special physical shake of the phone.

Oppo Clover R815 model reviews

Another budget solution, the system equipment of which uses a combination of a 4-core processor and a graphics accelerator. Moreover, in this version, music lovers note one feature that is absent in many even premium models. The developers divided the sound amplification system into two components. One module is responsible for reproducing sound through headphones, and the other provides the function of two built-in stereo speakers. Actually, if there is a question about which phones have good sound in headphones, then the described concept of separation of playback channels will be an indicator of a worthy option. As for the working qualities of the R815 modification itself, the owners of the device note the volume, cleanliness, and also a good study of the low and middle frequencies, which is rare in models costing up to 10 thousand. This phone, by the way, can be purchased for 7-8 thousand.

HTC One M8 Reviews

HTC did not pass over the audience of music lovers either, having offered an interesting modification of the M8 in the One family. I must say that sophisticated connoisseurs of quality sound were disappointed with this model in the sense that it had serious potential to become one of the best music phones. But the developers did not make a serious bias in this direction, meanwhile, providing the device with good Boom Sound technology. What did this development give to the device? As the manufacturer promises, the sound relative to other representatives of the family has become louder by 25%. According to the users themselves, the sound differs in depth, detail and balance. If you need a phone with good sound to play through the headphones, then this option is also suitable. The owners of the device indicate that with a high-quality headset, the potential of this mobile phone is almost indistinguishable from the broadcast source in the form of a laptop or a specialized player.

Philips Xenium W7555 Reviews

The Xenium lineup in recent versions shows very modest success in a wide range of performance. Owners of models note useless graphics, and the lack of effective energy saving, as well as weak shooting modules and uncompetitive performance. Nevertheless, in terms of sound, the W7555 model shows good results. This is explained by the use of the Wolfson audio chip, supplemented by an amplifier. The practice of using detects such sound qualities as surround, volume and detail. Many point to an organic combination of cleanliness at higher altitudes and a good study of the mid-range. Moreover, this is not just a mobile phone with good sound, but also an ergonomic tool for handling a digital media player. In the list of tools that the user controls acoustics, you can select the equalizer, a convenient menu and an optimized file cataloging system.

The best models with a speaker

Previously, the Nokia models showed the best indicators in terms of the purity of conversational reproduction, but the time of the Finnish manufacturer has passed, and it is rather difficult to name the obvious leader by this criterion. In particular, companies such as BlackBerry, Xiaomi and some representatives of the already mentioned HTC One line can compete with each other. I must say that BlackBerry products and, for example, its modification 9105 rather give a notorious feeling of standing next to a person while talking on the phone. However, if you need a phone with good sound during a conversation and the ability to record, then this and other modifications of this brand will not work . Accordingly, an alternative may be the version of Xiaomi Mi2S. If you turn to the offers of the iPhone, Sony or HTC, then, firstly, you have to prepare a substantial amount for the purchase, and secondly, you will not have to rely on the special characteristics of the overall sound.

The best models for reproducing sound in headphones

Two models are worth highlighting that are optimally suited for working with a high-quality headset, but at a different level. This is a more improved version from Meizu in the form of MX4 Pro, as well as the Highscreen Boost 3 model. As for the first option, it will suit those who are looking for a phone with good sound in high-end headphones. The fact is that the phone itself has a fairly high level of filling with a Hi-Fi Sound system, provided by the progressive amplifier Texas Instruments. Therefore, using such a source in combination with budget headphones simply does not make sense.

A slightly different approach is implemented in the Highscreen Boost 3 model. This unit also has a special basis for music playback, but its potential is enough for those music lovers who need a phone with good sound in mid-range headphones.

The best button models in terms of sound

If in the smartphone segment the largest giants of the market could not surprise the consumer with the sound qualities of their products, then Samsung with the S5611 model dominates in the class of traditional button devices. The model provides high-quality sound reproduction both through the speaker and using headphones. Moreover, if you need a push-button phone with good sound and a high-quality camera, this option will be especially suitable. The 5 megapixel matrix is \u200b\u200bimplemented in conjunction with autofocus and by itself produces images that compare favorably even with the materials of some 8-pixel smartphones. If, for one reason or another, this option does not suit you, then you should pay attention to the model, which is also praised for high-quality sound.

How to choose the best phone with good sound?

Obviously, the choice should be based on the cost of the model, its technological sound equipment and ergonomics of the media player. The last indicator, by the way, in all the described options is at a high level and can be determined with the interface simply by taste preferences. Otherwise, the choice is also generally clear. In this review, the phone with the best sound will cost at least 20 thousand - these are the MX3 models from Meizu and One M8 from HTC. Smartphones in these versions really provide high performance in relation to acoustics, but at the same time they differ in the presence of other attractive parameters that are not related to sound.

Conclusion

Progress towards improving the musical abilities of mobile devices does not stand still and the active introduction of the same audio processors, even in low-cost models, indicates the serious intentions of the manufacturers themselves to improve this feature. However, users are increasingly focusing on a combination of several operational qualities at a high level. For example, and sound is the most common requirement of the average user. And companies have something to offer in different segments. If we are talking about the traditional form factor, it will be the most technologically advanced segment of smartphones, for its part, will offer the successful music model Meizu MX3. Another thing is that not only these characteristics are of interest to the mass consumer, therefore, one cannot do without compromises in the choice.

How do you choose your smartphone? Someone is looking more beautiful, someone is more powerful. Some pay attention to the camera, some have no idea what Android is and what version was last released. Someone cares about two SIM cards inside, and for someone - 64 GB of internal memory.

But imagine some are looking for the loudest phone. After all, we have long forgotten why we need our gadgets. The smartphone turned into a toy, stopped ringing, only occasionally sends messages.

The choice

Of course, in one fell swoop to determine the loudest phone is difficult. After all, for this you will have to collect all the models of the world, turn on the sound, listen to the call. After all, technical specifications can deceive a gullible buyer.

Since 2018 is at hand, it is important to consider several models of recent years, as well as the opinion of the people.

Diversity

Studying reviews of modern smartphones, one often hears that a particular model is cool, but the sound has let us down. It’s not too bassy, \u200b\u200bit’s too “dryish”, it wheezes or whistles, etc.

Fortunately, today there are still manufacturers who focus on the speakers of the device. It is they who are trying to make the loudest phone.

  • VKworld T3;
  • Marshall London;
  • Samsung Galaxy S6 Active;
  • ZTE Axon 7;
  • HighScreen Thunder;
  • Geemarc Clearsound CL8200;
  • Nokia 6233;
  • Explay MU220.

VKworld T3

As you can see, in an attempt to find out what the loudest phones are, you will not stumble upon flagships. You will probably hear the names of most models for the first time. One of these little-known phones was VKworld T3. It was released in 2016 and sells for just $ 80.

The manufacturer did not bother with its design and some useful features. He emphasized the volume of the phone. According to the company, this model produces 145 dB.

Those who are even superficially familiar with physics, understand that these are unrealistic numbers. After all, such an indicator gives a fighter during takeoff. However, as practice has shown, the model can generate up to 90 dB.

To give such an indicator to the user, you need a large speaker. It can be seen under the back cover. Regarding ordinary speakers, this one is 5 times larger, and they worked well on the resonator.

Marshall london

The next model is from a well-known company that specializes in audio. Marshall produces cool speakers, headphones and other audio equipment. In 2015, she decided to introduce the world to a musical smartphone. This time the cost exceeded $ 600. Apparently, therefore, the phone did not receive popularity. After all, the "filling" of it was rather mediocre. And who wants to pay that kind of money only for a loud speaker?

Nevertheless, this model has one of the loudest calls. The phone is more like a Hi-Fi player that can call. It is difficult to prove that we have the most-loudest model. Although the manufacturer claims this.

There are no sound indicators. Well, by ear he really seems noisy. Especially when compared with modern models.

One of the features of this model is two headphone jacks. And the appearance in the style of Marshall can captivate the buyer.

Samsung Galaxy S6 Active

The Korean company is practicing protected versions of its flagships. Therefore, the famous Galaxy S6 could not pass by such a strategy. The company released its protected version. And besides, she endowed the model with a good speaker.

The phone was released in 2015. It sold for $ 700. It was not easy to get it. Now it is unlikely that anyone will be able to find him on sale.

The volume indicators reach 85 dB, which is an excellent result. Problems are only observed with bass and “dirt” at maximum volume level.

ZTE Axon 7

This model is often talked about in forums, suggesting that it is one of the loudest phones. It went on sale in 2016. Stereo speakers are located on the front panel. The peculiarity of this model is that the sound is saturated with low frequencies, which happens extremely rarely.

In addition, to make the phone look even cooler against the background of such high-profile decisions, it was equipped with hardware. Inside the DAC, dealing with sound decoding. There is Dolby Atmos technology.

Highscreen thunder

Another model that positions itself as the loudest. It is even noticeable in name ( thunder  from English translates as "thunder"). Therefore, it is not surprising that many consider it a noisy phone.

The manufacturer himself claims that its volume can exceed 100 dB. Of course, this is more a marketing move than the truth. The volume here is much lower. But again, in comparison with others, it really sounds very loud.

To prove his coolness, the manufacturer added the loudest ringtones to the library to the library. If you install them, then the missed will be much less. True, others may be scared.

There is a large speaker under the lid, which once again proves the manufacturer’s attempts to create the loudest device.

Geemarc Clearsound CL8200

It so happened that most high-profile phones are a thing of the past. Therefore, they are all push-button and do not belong to the category of smartphones. One of these models at the time was the phone Geemarc Clearsound CL8200.

He was known about 7 years ago. At that time, it was specially designed for people with hearing impairments.

As a result, the model has become in demand among older people, because it had not only high-quality sound, but also large buttons, as well as simple controls. The volume level of a conventional device was 8-10 dB, this model produced 25 dB. Naturally, such indicators could not go unnoticed.

So far, the Geemarc Clearsound CL8200 is considered the loudest phone in the world. Although at the present time - the statement is controversial.

Nokia 6233

This legendary “button player” is also often mentioned on the forums. It was released in 2005. At that time, all models of this manufacturer were successful. This device was no exception. In addition, he turned out to be the loudest phone in the Nokia line.

In addition to the cool sound, he had a stylish appearance and versatility. Since this is not a smartphone, but a regular mobile phone, he was able, in particular, to call, receive and send messages. In addition, he was even able to take pictures, although the 2 megapixel module was frankly bad.

Explay MU-220

Well, it's hard not to say about the Explay MU-220. This model already in appearance hints at the fact that it has some special sound. Before us is a candy bar with classic buttons. The screen is 2.2 inches.

On the back cover there is a large convex speaker with the inscription “Music”. Some compare its volume with the sound of a laptop. Otherwise, we have the usual “dialer”, which can be used only for its intended purpose. Surfing on the Internet or taking cool photos won't work here.

Ringtones

If you do not have one of the above models, you can find the loudest ringtones on your phone. There are tons of them on the Internet. And they are very different here - for all occasions.

Of course, many users believe that this option will help them make the call louder and stop skipping incoming calls. In fact, it is more like self-deception. After all, if the phone’s speaker can produce a certain volume indicator, then you won’t get more from it.

The essence of the loudest ringtones is that they are recorded using a special technology. They can use louder instruments, as well as special combinations of notes, so that as a result the melody “screams”.

Some modern tracks can be made louder by the hardware method. But such methods usually degrade sound quality. The ringtone becomes dirty and too noisy.

Conclusion

As you can see, identifying the loudest phone was not the easiest task. Of modern models, these are audiophile-oriented smartphones. Of the long-forgotten devices, these are push-button telephones with large convex speakers.

By the way, many so-called grandmothers can rightfully be called the loudest, because the sounds they sometimes make are very piercing.

A musical smartphone is a multimedia device, one of the main functions of which is to provide the smartphone owner with high-quality sound. Today, choosing a good smartphone in terms of functionality and performance is not as easy as it would seem. Since the best can only be the model in which the sound quality and volume will be at a height in the headphones and speakers. Do not know which smartphone to choose, let's look at the rating of the best music smartphones for 2017-2018 that fit this description.
