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?

Sony LDAC is compatible with just about anything that isn't Apple. Apt X (specifically HD and Adaptive) will run on pretty much anything that has a Qualcomm chipset. So again pretty much any phone that isn't Apple.

They're just codecs for higher than 16bit wireless audio. They should be compatible with any Android device running anything higher than 8.0. All are part of open source Android since 2020

Point being, you don't have to really make sure the phone you're looking at "has it".
