Recently, so many new machines have been released, and the fans have also watched a lot of it.
I would like to ask you, what are the functions or parameters that you are most concerned about?
The machine brother estimates that at most it must be the screen quality, camera performance, processor performance.
I wonder if anyone cares about the external sound quality of the mobile phone?
That is, the quality of the phone speaker.
The speaker is nothing, but the impact on the daily use experience is still quite large.
Some people will think that they basically do not play out, they all use headphones, and they can listen to a ring.
Brother Ji wants to say that many of the people who once thought like this are really fragrant.
The machine brother recalled it, remembering the previous mobile phone, and the external sound quality was once a big selling point.
As early as the era of feature phones, there are many music phones whose external sound quality is very good.
For example, Nokia's XpressMusic series.
The classic Nokia 5700XM of that year was not just a cool form factor.
The sound quality of the external playback is also quite excellent, worthy of the music mobile phone.
And its big brother, the Nokia 3250, is the same design.
Of course, how can music phones get less Sony Ericsson.
Sony's W series is also a handle for music phones.
The voice that has been used in the past is good, that is, the sound is a little small.
In addition, Motorola's E398 is a magic machine, which adds vibration to enhance immersion when playing bass.
It also has a matryoshka version, the ROKR E1, which was the first phone to support iTunes.
In the era of functional machines, there are actually not many mobile phones with good external sound quality.
The machine brother feels that there are also traces to be found, although these mobile phones are not heavy, but the internal space is not small.
Can stuff a large volume of speakers, coupled with the quality of online tuning, the external sound quality is quite good.
This spatial advantage has continued until the era of cottage machines, and it has become more self-indulgent.
The speaker opening on the back can be as big as it can be, and if it is not big, it will be made up by the number.
Just, very simple and rude.
After all, the biggest demand of the users of the cottage machine is to be louder.
Then use a bigger horn, on more power.
Coupled with the marquee lights, improve the visual experience, the sound quality feels better.
On this level of extravagance, no joke.
The bus came up to the phone, and the ringing sounded to scare the whole car.
At that time, Lei Jun said that Xiaomi killed the cottage machine, but in terms of the external release effect, the status of the cottage machine is still higher.
After all, smartphones, especially the Android camp, spelled hard parameters that can be written in the early days.
Like what processor frequency, memory size, camera sensor pixels and much more.
loudspeaker? Not many people care, good or bad will only be mentioned in the evaluation.
The machine brother still remembers the era when the mobile phone can still open the back cover to change the battery.
The opening of the speaker is mostly behind the back, and the sound will become smaller when placed on the desktop.
But force the volume up, and you'll hear an irritating cracked sound.
What really raises the speaker level of the smartphone to a higher level is HTC.
It is hard to imagine that the dual speakers that are advertised by manufacturers today were brilliant 8 years ago.
In 2013, the HTC One (M7) was equipped with BoomSound dual speakers.
This technology has also been used for many generations, and it is also a classic.
After listening to an ear, you know what is a dimensionality reduction blow, and the sound field of the dual speakers is incomparable to that of a single speaker.
In addition to watching movies and videos on horizontal screen with stereo sound, the quality of the speakers themselves is also excellent.
Coupled with the sound effects that have been launched in conjunction with Beats before, the combination of soft and hard.
The treble is sweet, the middle pitch is accurate, the bass is heavy, in short, it is a sentence: transparent!
Debut is the peak, that is, the chin is a little more.
This is also the biggest problem with this design, which takes up too much of the area on the front of the phone.
Later, friends also know that there is no HTC in the smartphone industry.
In the past two years, many people have missed HTC's BoomSound, lamenting the poor sound quality of the later mobile phones.
(m8 refers to HTC One M8)
Of course, there is a reason for this, in the era of full screen, the front of the mobile phone is certainly impossible to distribute to the speaker.
Next, we must fight for a long battery life and upgrade the camera.
Speakers and external sound quality have not been the focus of manufacturers for a long time.
Until recently, manufacturers have begun to exert efforts on mobile phone speakers.
The flagship model is almost always equipped with dual speakers, like a reincarnation.
However, the brother also noticed something different.
In addition to the hardware single speaker to double speaker, manufacturers will now also cooperate with traditional audio manufacturers.
The more representative impression of the brother is that Samsung and AKG cooperated, and later directly acquired its parent company.
There are also Redmi and JBL, Xiaomi and Harman Kardon...
How many friends are as curious as the brother, what are these joint cooperation doing?
In fact, the specific situation of each family is also different.
If you provide a certain sound effect, such as HTC's Beats Audio sound effect.
This is a software optimization that is equivalent to providing a style of sound.
Some are suitable for vocal songs, and some are suitable for listening to surging rhythmic music.
In addition, the tuning on the software also includes spatial audio technologies such as Dolby Atmos.
In essence, it is also an effect achieved by software algorithms.
Further, it is that the audio manufacturers participate in hardware-level tuning.
This tuning church targets the hardware and layout of the phone's speakers.
For example, take the broken sound of the maximum volume of the mobile phone.
Good tuning can make the input power match the speaker unit reasonably to avoid this situation.
Such tuning, manufacturers will generally label Tuned by XXX, or Sound By XXX on the phone.
As for the lowest-level hardware, it is certainly not enough to rely on tuning, but also on the supplier.
In the past, the mobile phone speaker was a simple small speaker.
The all-in-one BOX cavity unit is now used, as well as a more advanced superlinear speaker unit.
The amplitude is greater at the same volume, so that the volume is large and the bass is heavy.
If you really want to make a splash on the speakers, you may have to find a supplier to customize the unit.
The machine brother suddenly found that the mobile phone speaker is actually very similar to the number of cameras.
Compare it with the tuning optimization of mobile phone cameras, and it is easy for everyone to understand.
It's equipped with sound effects, like filters built into the camera of a mobile phone, or a certain color style.
Speaker tuning, just like the manufacturer's tuning of camera white balance, sharpening, and night scenes.
And when it comes to hardware, the speaker unit is also the same as the camera sensor, which will also crush people at the bottom (volume) level.
Mobile phone speakers, once brilliant, have also been neglected.
The visible trend now is that it is about to be taken seriously again.
The machine brother feels that the speaker has been re-emphasized, in fact, it is not because the mobile phone has nothing else to improve.
On the contrary, it is precisely because other technologies have matured that the speaker has made room for development.
Of course, there is another reason why the machine brother believes.
That is, there are too many functions on the mobile phone, "a look at the data is as fierce as a tiger, and the experience is supplemented by the brain".
And the speaker is the kind of real incense function that you can't go back to after hearing the good one.
