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?
Samsung Galaxy Note 9. I will argue this is the best phone that they produced, period. Two cameras, fingerprint scanner on the back, stylus, expandable storage AND a headphone jack. I will probably perish and turn to dust the day it dies on me.
