Honestly miss LG and their weird gimmicks. They were kinda refreshing
Yea, they’d be the last holdouts for a headphone jack too, I’m sure.
I’ve always wanted to play around with an LG Wing.
99% of phones are extremely similar, I don’t think anybody needed that many brands. Even now it sort of boils down to Apple vs Samsung vs Chinese brands for most people.
There were more than 500 brands of smartphones? 🙃
It’s almost like wealth is consolidating.
I miss HTC. To this day, I’ve not heard a better speaker than the HTC One M8.
Everywhere I went people who heard me play music on it were amazed that a mobile phone could sound as good as a proper iPod dock/Bluetooth speaker.
Phone speakers since then have regressed, it sucks :-(
…? My iPhone speaker blows my old m8 speaker out of the water by a long shot. This might just be nostalgia or your current pocket pal might just have a trash speaker.
I think part of the reason is that because phones are now in the ‘matured’ part of the marketing cycle. There’s a smaller and smaller noticeable difference in performance between a $200 phone and a $1000 phone, and so companies need to compete on smaller and smaller profit margins, and against very inexpensive import brands.
