Anonymous, 22 Aug 2019https://www.phonearena.com/news/Galaxy-Note-10-vs-Huawei-P30-Pro-vs-Google-Pixel-3-vs-iPhone-X... moreThe problem with those two reviewers is that they never look at the details of the photos and only compare the exposures and colors. Once you start pixel peeping latest Galaxies are one of the worst contender in the market because Samsung still uses live HDR algorithms that introduce tons of blotchy noises and mask them with tons of noise reduction and edge enhancement. Huawei is far less aggressive with sharpening and noise reduction so textures look more natural on P30 Pro.

LG V50 thinq supporting 3g+4g+5g .
Best phone this year. Note 9 was a tank. This is a good sleek looking tank too. Work horse!
A phone which is not perfect with an almost perfect score! Mmmmm

It wouldve been a different story if they didn't need to fit in a whole stylus. Other flagship phones today with phablet screen size being the norm have no excuse though.
Oh yea I agree the usb c dongles or USB headphones
won't exactly cut it either. At this point an external DAC/amp combo like from Fiio would be the ideal setup but its bulky.

Sa... moreBest in durability? Wait till repair comes and you have your ip-rating compromised/reduced because you need a new battery or some internal repairs. Unless you buy a new phone half a year later.
You are better off checking iFixit or Rossman.
Speaking of which, why are ugly cases which cover the beautiful glass back/edge screens, are popular among smartphone users if these things are truly durable?

Though some genius over there thought it would be nice to to use it on a sloping electronic paper courtesy of the edge screen.
Every other reason can be summed up to fashion/going with the flow.

The DAC embedded in the little USB connector that plugs into the phone is full of compromises; power supply/filtering being the worst. The phone needs to feed (what I assume is ) the I2S signal to an external stand-alone DAC with a proper headphone stage. The situation is as bad if you try to use the headphones that have their own DAC (again, embedded inside the USB -C connector). O
For this alone, I bought a Note 9 that can output very decent analog out. It can hold its own compared with quite a decent external DAC's, and it has a decent drive for my HD650's.
So, the phones that don't have analog out are in fact a very bad option for an audiophile, whichever way you look at it.
Hello GSMArena, please is Samsung USB-C Jack 3.5 mm adapter activer or passive??? Thank you very much for answer.
A French review found out that when the phone's battery gets hotter than 35°C, there's a frame rate drop happening in videogames. So thanks, but no thanks. If I wanted lag and stutter in action-packed games, I would've bought a Huawei... I'm happily sticking with my non-restrained Note 9 with Snapdragon.
This is still a badass phone, despite not having a high refresh screen.
As an audiophile I’m actually ok without the headphone jack. The internal DAC and amp will probably not be powerful enough to drive good iems/headphones given the limited internal space the engineers have to work with anyway
