Is the v10 the best sounding phone on the market?

Is the v10 the best sounding phone on the market?

I don't know.

I have one. The DAC is pretty good.

I haven't encountered this, but I've read about some users getting bootloops because of faulty boards or something. It's a common issue with the G4 too.

I had one on launch for about 6 months. DAC was fantastic, but not enough to make up for the other shortcomings.

Ended up selling it and getting a Exynos S7Edge, which is much faster, water resistant, has better camera, OLED, wireless charging and with no annoying dual display. I do miss the DAC tho.

Dac is meh, doesn't hold a candle to HTC

...

>"DAC Is meh"
>HTC 10 has a qualcomm DAC
>LG V10 has a ESS Sabre ES9018, the same DAC in the $700 Fiio X7

>Samsung phone with Bang & Olufsen logo on it
>weakest fucking empiest flattened sound ever

this has been my experience with samsung phones dating back to the Samsung Soul dumbphone

The audio output is amazing
Camera is extremely good with RAW and manual controls too
Battery life is below average
Actual game/benchmark performance is poor for a 2015 flagship
Build quality is top-tier
Water resistance is non existant
Speaker sucks
MicroSD card slot
Removable battery
IR blaster

It's not the most balanced phone you can buy but it has features and sound quality that you simply can't get on other phones, especially for the $210 used I got it for.

Is it even more susceptible to water than the average phone or just not water resistant

Heard someone on XDA having their V10 ruined by spilling half a cup of coffee on the front of it, like wise my Note 4 went in the toilet twice and was fine..

goes to show how idiotic brand loyalists on here are

Love my V10

Posting from a v10 right now, love the audio quality best in any phone ive had. On a side note, how the fuck do you compile a kernel for this thing? Theres one guy on xda who's done it, and he hasn't responded to me in over a month.

than don't post you shitty tripfag go seek attetion somewhere else

I love the phone so far, audio output is amazing. Has anyone except that one guy on xda successfully compile a kernel for it? I can't get it to boot for the life of me.

It doesn't seem like there's any kernels for the T-Mobile V10 on Marshmallow which really sucks.
I've used much more obscure phones than this that had plenty of kernals and ROMs.

It's quiet as fuck.

LG a shit

It's not though.
The amp has multiple modes "Normal device" "Aux" and "High-Impedance" depending on the Impedance of what you've plugged in, though you can make anything run at max volume with a Mixer_paths.xml mod or by installing ALSAMixer.

Also it's louder in high-impedance mode than my old iPod video, louder than my iPhone 4S, and any of my previous phones, the only thing that was as loud was my HTC One M8, and it had popping distortion in the bass at high volumes.

I just want to say before I owned my V10 I assumed the audio quality was bad because I read the GSMarena audio test and PhoneArena's volume loudness test, and I know they're both wrong because they were using low impedance headphones and GSMArena didn't even have the "Hi-Fi" mode activated (Basically the V10 has 2 DACs, the Qualcomm one and then the ESS Sabre one and that one only becomes active upon activating Hi-Fi mode)

Axon 7

dual front facing speakers and 32-bit dac.

That looks very promising if I decide to upgrade.
Hopefully there's actually a variant with U.S. LTE bands and what not.

I can understand why, im trying to compile one and its a bitch. Compiles on paper, but doesnt boot even with default config.

>DAC was fantastic, but not enough to make up for the other shortcomings.
pretty much this

short battery life, poor durability of the back cover, a bit of after glow(it looks like burn in but it fades after a little while) with static sections of the screen, and not being as water resistant as any other phone on the market, i swear phoneblocks would keep the water out better

i nearly killed mine using a damper than usual disinfecting wipe on it, i had to take it completely apart, and clean out the power button from the 2 out of the 5 contacts in the foil spring mechanism were burnt

a little isopropyl alcohol and some cotton swabs, plus putting the phone in a baggy with some hole punched in it, then taped to a hair drier set to just blowing air running for a 6 hours, and it worked again

luckily lg phones are super easy to take apart, and it works just fine now, well better for the fingerprint sensor, other than needing to enter in my pin every time i reboot or shut down

I can confirm my V10 has no burn-in issues because I literally left a static image on overnight to test for it. But yes the LCD is kinda shitty and looks a lot worse than my HTC One M8 or my Note 4.

Mine also had crazy backlight bleed under the secondary screen.

As does mine.
I knew all this before I bought it. To be honest if I paid $600 for this phone 8 months ago I'd be super disappointed.
