It s a directional stereo that gives a real sound quality, not a surround noise as you usually have, a true sound (in my opinion)
this morning i ve recorded a band playing in the street, here is the sound sample, tell me what you think

It's actually surprisingly good...
If you weren't moving sound would be perfect.
This way we can hear one instrument louder then the other then its volume goes lower..
But it's more then fine for purpose we need...
Tell me one thing, please .
If I want to record video with sound, can I use it or it's only for recording audio in audio recording apps? (I hope you understood me)

well each musician was doin a sort of solo so that s why i move to each of them.
yes you can record videos using the microphone, it change the whole thing, sound is as important as picture, specialy when you do an interview.
here is an example in 4k + gimbal + stm10 at the parc

You can also use noise cancelling headphones funnily enough.

Galaxy s6 Sound Quality

I played a little with the s6 using Google music and Spotify and I found the sound quality to be a little worse than the note 4 and note 3 which I loved the sound even using it straight from the headphone jack. I used my trusty shure se 215 and ath m50 and I couldn't feel the bass and the sound was not dynamic at all, almost painful to hear, adapt sound did helped a little but I'd like to know what's the take of people in the sound quality department of this awesome phone.

It's supposed to be top notch. I never owned a Note 4, but I did own a Galaxy S5 and I don't notice any real difference. Did you check to make sure you picked the "Extreme" quality option in Spotify? I sometimes forget when setting up a new phone.

Does the S3 neo support 2 way call recording?

Hi there!
Some call recorder apps only use the microphone while recording, so that you have to have the speaker on and the audio quality of the person you are talking to is pretty bad. Some call recorders on the other hand support 2 way call recording, which means it records the audio directly. A lot of phones (but far from all) supports 2 way call recording. I don't own a S3 neo, yet, so I wonder if some of you guys have any experience with call recording on the s3 neo? The app that I'm currently using now is called ACR - Another call recorder, and it supports 2 way call recording.
Thanks in advance!
Acr is the best. And working perfectly. Try to change the driver. On my device, everything works just fine and with good loud sound and quality. Peace

BIG thanks for your answer! :laugh: What do you mean with "Try to change the driver"? What audio source are you using (for example VOICE_COMMUNICATION or VOICE_CALL)?
Check this defaults

Speaker Mod

As someone who has little experience in hardware hacking, I'm curious to know how we can improve or even replace the existing speaker? The stock speaker is painful to listen to and more than 50% volume due to harsh upper-mids and distortion. There is also a significant lack of lower end frequencies leading to an empty and often harsh sound.
I've tried playing with an EQ but unfortunately, reducing the mids or increasing lows results in a reduction of volume. It seems as though the stock speaker is incapable of producing lower frequencies and improvement would require hardware modification. Does anyone have experience in this field? I know the people at HeadFi.org often add a putty like substance around drivers to modify the sound; I wonder if this is something we can try. Ideally, I'd love to find a way to completely replace the stock speaker with something commercially available but obviously that would be rather complex.

Here is a picture of the driver courtesy of @xataxxx
I'm going to do some research into speaker and speaker enclosure modification but, in the meantime, if anyone has any suggestions, I'd love to hear them.
umi super phone has nearly same hardware maybe that speakers are better
Here's a link to the UMI Super forum, that discusses mods to the speaker settings using Engineering Mode.
They may work on the Elephone as well.

OPPO Find X5 Pro Speaker Samples

The built-in speaker on the OPPO Find X5 Pro is impressive, to say the least. It is possibly one of the loudest speakers that I've experienced on a smartphone, with clear and full audio. With a stereo speaker configuration, the audio output is well-balanced from the top and bottom speakers. Boosted by Dolby Atmos, there are several audio settings to help tweak your experience for the best sound possible.

Audio Samples​To help you experience the sound from this phone, I set up a simple audio test where I captured the speaker output with a high-quality microphone.
These recordings were made on a Zoom H4n Pro, in the environment shown below.
Vocals:
Sample 1 - Mid Volume
Sample 2 - Full Volume
Music:
Sample 1 - Mid Volume
Sample 2 - Full Volume
Dolby Atmos​The Dolby Atmos feature is available to toggle on and off when paired with headphones, and it stays on by default when listening through the speakers. To customize your audio profile, navigate to the Dolby Atmos settings menu in the Sound and Vibration section. Choose between an environment or scenario-specific profile.
Scenario-specific includes audio profiles for Smart, Movie, Gaming, and Music. The smart setting will automatically apply the optimal audio settings based on the usage scenario. The environment profile will change the audio based on your physical surroundings. For headphone connections, you have the option of Bluetooth and a wired USB-C setup.
[Thanks to OPPO for supporting this thread]
In all fairness what is the point of the "Gaming Profile" when it doesn't work, It only fires from the bottom speaker the top speaker doesn't work.
