Quality of the speakers

How do the speakers compare to those of the Note 2? I'm discussing in terms of both loudness and audio quality. Are there distortions at maximum volume? Is the quality comparable to the top HTC phones?
The Note 3 had some pretty lackluster speakers, and they were a downgrade compared to those of the Note 2.
On that note, will the DAC for the Qualcomm version be their integrated sound solution and the Wolfson DAC again for the Exynos versions?

Of course you know not a single one of these has been sold yet, so how can you ask a question like this?

If it's like S5 it will be louder than my z2. Let's wait and see.

I hope it's at least as good as the Note 2. I felt like the Note 3 speaker was a downgrade in the loudness department.

In that Russian review they stated the Note 4 speaker was louder then the Note 3 one.

I just checked out the Note 4 at a local Best Buy and I'm happy with everything, but the speaker.
It is indeed louder than the Note 3's, but not by much. It has great highs, but the midrange is tinny sounding and nowhere as full or as loud as my LG G3's speaker. I rely heavily on the speakerphone so this was a disappointment, but I'll buy the phone anyways.

Is the DAC Wolfson chip really make a difference in audio quality?!

Just bought the Note 4 (Exynos chip) and just noticed some people are talking about there is a dedicated audio chip inside it ?! That make me remember that the first time I connected a headphones into my Note 4 the sound was AWESOME! (Coming from an iPhone 5s user).
So is there any benefits from that? One more thing I just saw an article about the Note 4 is the first "Android device" that supports iRig devices?!

Yep wait for an awesome kernel (perseus) to be working properly with some audio mods and it'll unleash the potential of this dac

Moving from M8 to Note 4, good idea?

Hello!
As I am deeply deceived by the M9 (reviews) and I want a crisp and bright screen as well as the best camera, I think of taking a Note 4 or Edge.
Though I still need some clarifications:
-The reviews are saying the Note 4 can reach about 750nits with automatic mode, so is it better than M8 under direct sunlight?
-There a total confusion about the Exynos version, does it have a Sony or Isocell camera?
-How good is the audio quality over wired and BT earphones?
-Anyone tried to use S6 theme installer on Note 4?

1) Yes, you will be able to see your Note 4's screen under direct sunlight clearly. It's way better than the M8's screen
2) Exynos version comes with Samsung's own ISOCELL camera.
3) From my experience, there were absolutely no delays using BT earphones. I personally didn't use wired earphones during calls because it will blow your ears up. It's sooo loud and it is a pain to adjust it to the right volume. Overall, fantastic and crystal clear. It's so clear that my friend was able to hear my footsteps.
4) I did not try this.

I couldn't find a review of Exynos Isocell camera Note 4, ae you sure it's not Sony?
I understood the mention of Isocell was a bug in previous software on Note 4, after a certain update the Note 4 Exynos was giving Sony name

no i dont think so
audio quality is far best in m8
i hate the note 4 in earphone audio quality with my solo hd beats it was fantastic with one max
and the m8 boom speaker is fantastic i hope you talk m9

Snapdragon Note 4 is worst than M8 for audio quality but people at Head-Fi told me the Exynos Note 4 is superior to M8 because of Wolfson DAC, no?

1. Note 4 screen is not as bright or as readable as the M8 and I have both. In direct sunlight note 4 is hard to read auto or not.
2. Mine is Sony. Pictures come out great good or low light.
3. Audio quality and volume is average over wired and BT. Well below that of M8.
4. No sorry.

Need advice

Hi guys, I'm planning to buy a Galaxy s3 neo. I'm upgrading from Galaxy s2. I'd appreciate if you guys share your experience with this device.. Camera quality, battery life, sound quality etc. Is it worth buying this device over Moto G 2nd Gen ? TIA for replying. ?

hi there , i own a galaxy s3 neo and upgraded from galaxy s2 too , battery life for me is awesome it can last 2 days of medium to high usage easily , camera quality is superb outdoors but it isn't that perfect indoors the front cam is decent , the speakers aren't that loud but pretty much ok , and i think you should get it instead of the moto G as you can get everything the motorolla has with CM11 or CM12 . Best regards

Is there a severe heating problem with this device? I'm reading the reviews on flipkart & so many users/buyers are complaining about heating problem during normal usage ie browsing or watching videos.
How's the Earphones volume compared to galaxy s2 ? Is it louder ?

Thanks for clearing my doubts. I'll order neo in 1-2 days. God bless mate ?

NP mate

S8 + V4A?

So obviously the S8 3.5mm jack is not as loud as the HTC 10 but given the fact that V4A can boost up +6db in volume, how the S8 sounds with V4A? Specially the Exynos model
