Portable players quickly gained popularity 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 long. Just as quickly, mobile phones made us forget about pocket MP3 players, taking on all their functions (and even more). Some budget-class players are now produced by the Chinese and do not arouse much interest due to their mediocre sound. Pocket players are trying to maintain their positions 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’s clear that you shouldn’t expect good (in general, not by smartphone standards) speaker sound from a mobile phone. There are outstanding devices that are noticeably ahead of their competitors in this regard, but their capabilities pale in comparison to more or less decent acoustics. The reason lies in the fact that the small speaker is physically incapable of delivering powerful bass, in his frequency spectrum There will always be an upward skew.
Achieve with headphones great sound much easier. To do this, it is necessary to install a normal discrete DAC (digital-to-analog converter), which turns a set of discrete signals of the recorded track into sinusoidal electrical pulses supplied to the speaker and forming sound waves. You also need a separate amplifier to increase power sound signal. Without it, it will be problematic to rock any headphones other than cheap earbuds. The best smartphones in terms of sound quality presented in our selection meet these requirements.
All smartphones with good sound, presented in the selection below, were released in 2016 or 2017, are 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 of Apple technology is somewhat greater than that of its competitors, so for an iPhone 1.5 years is not yet old. We decided not to include the 7 because the absence of the still relevant 3.5 mm jack is perceived ambiguously.
HTC U Ultra - a powerful music camera phone
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 resolution of 2560x1440 pixels. RAM capacity - 4 GB. A DAC is responsible for audio playback, supporting decoding of 16-bit audio with a sampling frequency of up to 192 kHz.
You can record music to the internal memory with a capacity of 64 or 128 GB. If this is not enough, and you want to place your 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 screen and a 3000 mAh battery.
Meizu Pro 6 Plus - almost Samsung
Meizu began its journey as a manufacturer of MP3 players, so it is not surprising that it also pays great attention to sound quality in its phones. Meizu Pro 6 Plus is a flagship device assembled 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 music playback, supporting decoding of 32-bit audio at a frequency of 192 kHz. This is more than enough to get high-quality sound from tracks in FLAC, so you also need headphones to match the device (Chinese ones for 200-300 UAH will obviously not be enough).
In addition to the processor, Samsung Meizu Pro 6 Plus also received a screen. It's the same as Galaxy Note 5, with a diagonal of 5.7″ and a resolution of 2560x1440 pixels. But the camera for this music device was made by Sony (however, the Japanese also make them for Samsung flagships), but the software for it is also Samsung. The camera is equipped with a 12 MP matrix with enlarged pixels and optical stabilization. The quality of the pictures can be called excellent, almost like in the Galaxy S7. But they ask for the device only from 10 thousand, which compared to the same Samsung is not so much.
Samsung Galaxy S7 - a compact flagship
Samsung has already introduced the new flagship S8, but the Galaxy S7 remains interesting. After all, it costs noticeably less than the new product, and you can buy it now (at the time of writing, 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 audio decoding in 24-bit format, with a sampling frequency of up to 192 kHz. The Exynos 8890 chipset is good at many tasks, and 4 GB of RAM is also encouraging. You can store music in 32 or 64 GB of internal memory, and if there is not enough, add a flash drive.
The device display has a diagonal of 5.1″, but high resolution 2560x1440 pixels. The camera pleases not with its resolution (which is only 12 MP), but with enlarged pixels, increased light transmittance of the optics, and optical stabilization. That's why the Galaxy S7 is not only the best music smartphone 2017 from this company, but also the best camera phone 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 camera with bright screen and small dimensions - it's worth it.
Apple iPhone 6s - musical and with an 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 have inherited all the advantages of players and even expanded their functionality. On paper, the decoder parameters are not very impressive: 16 bits, 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 Audio CD rips. The apple gadget has powerful processor with strong graphics, 2 GB of RAM and from 16 to 128 GB permanent memory for storing music.
6s — latest iPhone, equipped with a standard headphone jack. This is a smartphone for music lovers who do not want to switch to new headphone models or use adapters. There is also a good 12 MP camera on board and a 4.7-inch screen that recognizes pressure. Although the battery is small (1700 mAh), energy consumption is balanced and battery life 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 this, others rushed to create something similar. First frameless flagship 2017 from a famous brand - LG G6. New flagship 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 fits even more comfortably in the hand than 5.5-inch “regular” phablets. Also on board there is a Snapdragon 821 chipset, 4 GB of RAM and 32 or 64 GB of ROM for files. There is also a slot for a flash drive.
A DAC that decodes 32-bit is responsible for the sound in the device. digital signal with frequencies up to 192 kHz. The device also has dual camera, supporting optical stabilization, at the back and a 3300 mAh battery. Despite the use of 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 since 2016, Leica engineers have been taking part in the development of optics for them. It is not known exactly how big this participation is, and what else is there from Leika besides the logo, but the cameras take decent pictures. The device is equipped with the Kirin 960 chipset, one of the most powerful chips for smartphones. 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 internal storage or expand the space with a MicroSD flash drive.
The device is equipped with a 5.1″ IPS display with FullHD resolution. The cameras have a resolution of 12 MP (primary color) and 20 MP (additional black and white, increasing the clarity of the photo). The battery capacity is 3200 mAh. Everything about this device is excellent, but the lack of oleophobic coating is a let down. It interfered with the fingerprint scanner, so it was abandoned. So the user will have to carry a cloth with him to clean the screen, as it collects fingerprints faster than usual.
LG V20 - musical and with two screens
LG V20 is the best smartphone for a music lover who not only listens to music, but also shoots video. If you often attend concerts and want to capture the most outstanding parts of them, this device is what you need. A DAC that supports a 32-bit signal with a frequency of up to 192 kHz is responsible for sound reproduction. The sound subsystem is certified by B&O, a well-known 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 sound in 24 bits, with a frequency of 48 kHz. With it, when filming the performance of your favorite artists, you won’t hear an unpleasant gurgle instead of a bass line, or an unpleasant screech 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 upon to help him, displaying 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 worthy device for an audiophile, with parameters close to the G6, but sold noticeably cheaper.

Most modern smartphones, as we have repeatedly noted in reviews, do not have an outstanding subsystem responsible for sound. “The sound is loud and clear, but rather dry and without bass, everything is tolerable in headphones” - 90% of all Android mobile devices fall under this description. This is not the fault of the manufacturers, but rather the limitations of physics. To create a powerful acoustic wave at a low frequency, you need either a very hard resonator, excited by strong electrical impulses (and then - “goodbye, charge, hello, socket”), or a large speaker. Most mobile devices have neither one nor the other.
In order to somehow stand out from the mainstream, 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 they cannot bypass the physical limitations of speakers. Therefore, you have to stand out at least by the fact that the new device does not choke at maximum sound volume.
This selection is dedicated to smartphones with the loudest sound, which are relevant in 2016. Not all of them were released recently, some have been on the market for a long time, but it’s not every day that devices with high speaker volume are released. The average mobile phone can produce sound at volumes up to 75 dB. Devices capable of more are included in the selection.
In March 2016, VKworld T3 was released, costing only about $80. The manufacturer positions it as inexpensive, but the most loud smartphone in the world, suitable for listening to music in any conditions.
According to the developers, the smartphone is capable of producing sound up to 146 dB. Of course, this is not entirely true (this is the volume produced by a fighter on takeoff), but it generates 80-90 honest decibels. Compared to its competitors, it is distinguished by a larger speaker: its area is approximately five times larger than usual, and the rigidity of the resonator is better.
In terms of characteristics, VKworld T3 does not stand out in any way. It has a five-inch HD screen covered with 2.5D glass and a quad-core MT6735 processor. RAM is 2 GB, storage is 16 GB, there is a slot for MicroSD. There are two SIM cards, they work in 3G and 4G. OS VKworld T3 – Android 5.1. Front camera – 2 MP, rear – 8 MP. The battery is quite ordinary, 2500 mAh.
Marshall London – music for two
In August 2015, Marshall, a company specializing in the production of audio equipment, released the London smartphone, priced at about $600. For a gadget with budget hardware (and that’s exactly what it has) it’s expensive, but for a Hi-Fi player with phone functions it’s very affordable.
The manufacturer claims that “this may be the loudest smartphone,” but does not provide a volume level in decibels. However, the numbers are of no use: the device sounds louder than most of its competitors, and the stereo speakers can even handle the bass. Another feature is two headphone ports, on each of which the sound volume can be adjusted separately.
The Marshall London hardware 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 permanent memory are also not surprising. I’m glad that a memory card slot is available: without it, a smartphone for music lovers is nowhere, because 10 GB can fit at most a dozen or two albums in Loseless. The smartphone works in 3G and 4G networks. It operates under Android 5 OS. The main camera is 8 MP, the front one is 2 MP. The battery has a capacity of 2500 mAh.
Samsung Galaxy S6 Active – protected music
Samsung releases 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 market. trading platforms you can do it for about $700. In addition to increasing 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 increasing the value by 10 dB means increasing the volume by 2 times. It’s just a pity, there’s not much bass here, and at maximum volume the sound can grate the ear a little.
By Samsung specifications The Galaxy S6 Active is practically not behind the current flagships. The 5.1-inch AMOLED screen has a resolution of 2560x1440 pixels, the maximum today, except for the Sony Z5 Premium. The processor is an eight-core Exynos Octa 7420. The RAM capacity is 3 GB, the internal memory is 32 GB. It's a pity that there is no slot for a memory card: it would be useful for those who like to carry their audio collection with them.
The smartphone is designed to work with 3G and 4G networks, one SIM card. The device OS is Android 5 Lolipop, you should wait for the update to version 6. Main camera – 16 MP, front – 5 MP. The battery has a capacity of “only” 3500 mAh, but it holds up very well, thanks to optimization.
