What phone do you use and why? (alien.top)

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?

LG V40 thin q, for the built in DAC and I like the double touch lock feature. Also the always on screen with quick menu is nice. Not sure how they managed to keep those features to themselves.

Also not sure what I'm going to do when this phone dies as they are out of the phone came it seems. Sony xperia seems to be the alternative as I believe they have a DAC as well.
