Does redmi note 7 pro is hi-fi audio compliant or not.

[rupeshforu3]

Hi there are two smart phones from huwai which provide good quality sound than other smartphones they're

1) honor play which has krion 960 processor and honor sound technology

2) honor 8x plus which has Dolby atmos immersive experience feature and Qualcomm snapdragon 660 processor.

Note that honor 8x comes in two versions one with snapdragon processor and other krion processor but only snapdragon version has Dolby atmos surround sound technology and the other doesn't.

The above two smartphones are within my budget and have nice features. In some aspects honor 8x is better than honor play because honor 8x has 5000 mah battery etc.,. In some aspects honor play is better than honor 8x because honor play has the latest krion 960 processor and it can deal with graphics very smartly.

One small issue I am going to face is that all the latest smartphones are more than 6 inch long which is not comfortable to me.

I would feel happy if there is any smartphone which is between 4.5 to 5 inch long and has features like the above stated.

Dude, you wont benefit from any dedicated dac amp with mi earphones, upgrade your earphones first then think about dedicated dac/amp.
If you want to simply upgrade phone, then there are better options.

Replace your earphones first + what @Nerevarine said.

OK I agree with your point of view but my explanation is " earphones cost from 100/- to 5000/- but smartphone costs from 10000/- to 50000/-. Once we brought any smartphone we can't throw it and buy another ".

We can buy a smartphone with DAC at the same price of a smartphone without DAC or amp.

In my view there is no reason of buying a smartphone which doesn't have DAC.

For under 5000 headphones you don't need a special DAC or anything. You need $100+ headphones as most people say & those might start at 7-10k in India. As goku said earlier, his OP3 w/o fancy DAC runs HD598 fine. Like it or not, I think you fall in the 99% of users who don't need a DAC, mainly because of money. Audiophile quality headphones are too expensive for normal people, something like Bose. My S8 w/o any fancy quad DAC like LG drives my Monoprice 8323 just fine (although I prefer the way it sounds when connected to my laptop).

IMO you are underestimating the difference in the quality of earphones between an under 500 one & a 1-2k one. The difference is significant. Buy a new good earphone first, then think about a new phone. Most likely your requirements would be met.

LG has the best phones for audiophiles, so maybe buy V30 for 25k if you really want a good DAC. Lack of compact phones nowadays is a real issue, but most people apparently want big phones, so not many options for people like you & me. Currently, the only upgrade for my S8 is S10e (no Pixel for me because of lack of 3.5mm jack & stock android). Another good option for you is LG G7 for under 30k (i think 27k on sales). It's not as wide as other 6" phones, so more comfortable for use.

 

[Nerevarine]

Get an E10C, the difference would be significant upgrade. Even now, I consider E10c to be one of the most VFM purchases based on sound quality and price.

Hi just have a look at LG q7+tm. It is affordable and it is dust resistant and also it has DTS: X.

What is the meaning of DTS: X. Does this phone has DAC or amp.

I have also selected another model from lg ie., LG g6 which comes at the cost of 19500/-. This smartphone has quad DAC and also dust resistant etc.,.

Can you suggest which is better among lg q7+tm and lg g6.

First let me to buy a good smartphone and later I will buy e10c.

@Vyom has some extensive experience with LG phones.

G7 has quad DAC, G6 doesn't have it in all markets, not sure if Indian version has it (Korean version has it). G7 is definitely better w/o a doubt.

DTS is just a software sound enhancer like Dolby or what viper does.

Changing your phone will not improve the sound quality of your earphones significantly. It will just sound a bit different due to different sound profiles & equalizer settings of different devices. Changing your earphone always gives the biggest improvement. As it has been said again & again, you need premium headphones (not earphones) to utilize quad DAC (headphones that cost over 5000 minimum).

Hi just have a look at LG q7+tm.

Total waste of money. Dude, buying any phone with or without DAC/AMP would be pointless if you keep using bad earphones. A friend's crap skullcandy earphone broke and he bought E10c. Earlier he wasn't happy with sound on his Moto G4+ but now he binge watched Game of Thrones on it.

First try them out and if they don't feel better, get a DAC to use with current phone. Even that combination should cost below 5k.

 

[Nerevarine]

I guess op is a victim of FUD. There are way better phones than that buddy. It is better to get an overall best phone than getting a mediocre phone with slightly better "percieved" amp/dac onboard. Imean that LG phone you linked doesnt even have the same ESS Sabre 9018 present in V30/G6. So it doesnt make sense to buy it for it's audio capabilities.
Just get a regular phone (ensure it has type c), RN7 Pro is a great choice. There is a rule of thumb in all audio forums for us budget sound enthusiasts. Spend 1/2 of your total cost of (speakers+headphones) on an amp dac. This means that you must have something to improve the sound on, you will barely notice the difference on a pair of mi earphones. Buy E10c. get a dac/amp later.

 

[Vyom]

Well LG G6 does have a DAC for Indian variants.. and even if it's an old phone, now it's priced below Rs 20k.
So we can't rule out the phone simply due to it being old.

Hi lg q series is an minimized version of series g.

Suppose lg g7 has been released and q7 has also been released. Q7 has all the features of g7.

Please have a close look at the specifications of lg q7+tm.

In the specifications page of lg q7+tm from lg official website they have specified clearly that the product consists of hifi quad DAC, DTS: x virtual surround sound.

I am the expecting the price of lg q7+tm to be 15000

LG Q7 is shit, not worth 15k(ok for 10-11k). Samsung has better phones at 15k (M30, A30, A50), RN7P is far superior.

Considering you are not willing to understand what we are saying here, no point posting here. Waste of time for you & us.

Sorry for disgusting I am searching for good smartphone and up to now I have searched up to 60+ phones.

Yesterday I have listened some music files on redmi note 7 using mi earphones and audio quality was not good. Not even I got audio quality as good as from redmi note 4 pro which is my current phone. So I am not ready to buy redmi note 7.

 

[whitestar_999]

Redmi Note 7 is far inferior to Redmi Note 7 Pro & you need at least E10C to make a good comparison.I don't understand why you don't just buy them,it only costs 1650( SoundMAGIC - E10C ) & you can even return them within 7 days if you still don't find them worth their price. May be you will even save much more money by finding out that using E10C with a cheap phone is still better than using mi earphone with a costlier/DAC phone.
