I have an ASUS Zenfone 8 and I love that even the latest version still has a 3.5mm out, but I just started poking around in the settings for my Samsung Galaxy tablet and realized that Samsung Galaxy devices get Dolby Atmos. (Movies have never been better!) It got me thinking, what phones do other auditorily-inclined people use? Does AptX/LDAC support matter to you? Does audio go into your purchasing decisions at all?
I don’t care about things like Dolby Atmos at all, it’s just software surround and i’m not using that, don’t care about aptX, no devices i use support it, and basically everything has LDAC these days so i don’t even bother checking for it, the only important things in a phone are the version of android it comes with from the factory, a 3,5mm audio jack, and a few other things like a good fingerprint reader and that the selfie camera is as hidden as possible, i am yet to find a phone without one of those stupid things, so if someone knows a recent phone without a selfie camera, please point me to it, i hate those things
