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?

Samsung Galaxy A52

It has a 3.5mm jack, aptx support and dolby atmos, but I've never touched the latter, why would I want some algorithm mucking with my audio?

exactly, i jate dolby atmos on my a52, in fact i programmed bixby to automatically shut it off completely when i plug in a a headphone jack. Soundwise is pretty good i dont think theres a majorndifference between a52 internal dac conpared to an external ess chip.

It's just weird EQ and processing. Not actual dolby atmos like you'd find on a 4k blu ray
