how is the quality of the phone internal microphones? - HTC U11 Questions & Answers

Hi how is the quality of the phone internal microphones in recording audio especially in comparison to the LG v20 or the LG G6?
Thank you!

Considering audiophiles wouldn't use a digital device to playback audio, they are as good as any other. What sets the U11 apart from its competitors is boomsound.

How is audio quality - rear speaker and recording?

I know the sound through headphones is supposed to be top notch.
How is the sound quality of the loudspeaker though? (my references are the tp2 and n8 on the good side and hd2 on the bad with mt4gs in the middle)
How is the audio recording quality? On my mt4gs it's mediocre at best and gets distorted easily so I would really like an improvement.
Thanks

Honest opinions about the audio quality

Alright, first off, a brief history. I had the original GNote after which I jumped ship to WP8 with the Lumia 920.
I've loved the 920 overall, the camera is unbelievably good, and FAR FAR better than what my note was, but i'm kinda bored with the wp8 environment and have been looking to switch back to android for the customization and the flexibility.
I've narrowed my hunt down to the G2 and the Note3, though i'm leaning way more to the note 3 since i loved the S-pen and the size of my original Note.
The biggest issue i had on the note, more than the crappy camera and the horrible pictures, was the Audio quality via headphones. The note had the ****ty yamaha DAC.
I've heard some good things about the audio quality on the G2, so that's had me all confused.
Now, I'm no audiophile, but I listen to a lot of music on headphones (picking up the Beyerdynamic DT770 soon!) and in my car and am very worried about the sound quality.
I'll have access only to the Exynos variant of the Note 3 with the Octa-core chip, and have been researching and trying to find some honest opinions regarding the SQ via headphones.
From what i know, the Note 3(both the variants) dont ship with the highly acclaimed wolfson dac that the Note 2 shipped with. And i know there's a difference between the Qualcomm variant and the Exynos variant(which probably has a yamaha dac) when it comes to sound quality.
My 920 isn't the best either, but the audio is very balanced, and produces results that are decent enough for my needs. (My dad's 4S is kinda better than my 920)
Now, I'd love to hear your thoughts about this. how good/bad is it? has anyone used them with a high quality pair of cans? how do they sound?
Also, I understand that the 13mp lens on the back of this beast can no way beat the 920's stellar camera, but are the shots not even in the same league as that of the 920/Iphone 5?
I'm looking forward to some insightful opinions, and hopefully I'll have this baby in my hands soon!
Thank you.
You can check here, the numbers speak for themselves
I've seen the numbers, but sometimes number's aren't the perfect evaluation of quality, so just hoped to get some direct feedback from users here.
Audio Quality is a major concern so the people using the n9000 exynos variant, What do you think of the audio quality via headphones?
Any comments will be of great help!
Thank you
Trust me,the audio quality of Note 3 is better than G2

i have N900 and audio quality is just brilliant no issues what so ever ... i use klipsch ear phones and they sound amazing
Thank you!
any insights about the camera as well?
You can't just ask about audio quality because there are so many variables at play. What's the quality of the media? Lossless? 128KB compressed MP3s? What is the media being output to? Included crappy headphones? $500+ IEMs? Someone was complaining about the lack of bass on the N3 compared to the N2 using Samsung headphones. Was the problem exaggerated bass on the N2 and the N3 was more naturally tuned? Or was the N3 really lacking bass?
The GSMArena testing shows the actual recorded output of the N3 as compared to other devices subjected to the same tests. It's excellent (meaning true) with a comment about it not being the loudest of devices they've tested. How that translates in to what you (or others) are looking for depends on your taste (heavy bass isn't true; it's a preference), the quality of the media being used, and the capabilities of what's playing the media back.

Phone with the best audio recording

I'm looking for a new smartphone that has great audio recording. My HTC One does great audio recording when it comes to shows/concerts but sadly the phone died on me. Any phone that you guys could recommend? I'm mainly going to use it recording rock bands and such.
up
from my experience use low end samsung and sony phone, both give much low quality compare dedicated audio/ voice recording.
the audio/ voice recording i use to compare is also not the high end, just around $75-100.
I think in Nokia lumia phones cuz they have dedicated advanced mic's

I just hate how Lumias perform process wise.
Any new Lumia model would be the best choice.
yesss
i second, third...blabla the lumias....or the pureview 808. Go on youtube and watch the difference...the claritity is beyonddd

Audio Recording - distortion free?

Hey Guys,
I am not -yet- an owner, but I was when M7 hit the stores and that phone was able to record some amazing audio - Distortion Free even from Loud Bass.
My question is, is the U11 anywhere near to that quality? I am really looking for someone who can record some concerts or any loud music....
thanks in advance

This is probably the best place to ask for now or the equivalent in your area.

They are not allowed to give out such technical information. I tried this with the M10 already and they said, its a really good mic, but could not confirm nor deny that its a HDR Mic
Sooooo I am waiting for users

Yeah, I know the feeling. This is why I kept my 950XL Microsoft (besides the Windows OP, its good) which has 4 mics and HAAC/HDR without distortion... yeah... we will see how HTC 11 performs
Sadly it distorts a lot! Had the m7, m8 and m9 plus. They were all great at audio recording. But the u11 is a huge disappointment in this department.
I play in clubs a lot and liked using my previous htc phones to film my band. People would always ask what kind of phone I was using because the audio was so good. Now, most videos are useless or GOOD when the bass is not too loud.
Tried HIGH RES audio and that doesn't improve the overall quality and oddly using this setting will get the video to be saved in MKV, instead of mp4. If you try sharing the mkv video through whatsapp, it will replace the audio with hiss. Tried solving this with no success. So now I use 3D audio and keep my fingers crossed everytime.
It's a huge disappointment because this was a main concern for me when looking for a replacement for the m9+.
The only phone I can't think of that has a great video/audio capture quality combo is the Iphone 8 Plus, which was the one I was going to buy before deciding for the u11.

Hey thank you for the review are there any other modern phones which are capable of recording bass? How are the Sony phones xz premium XZ1 and so on when recording bass?

quality of the mics VS those of the V20

Hi does anyone have both the HTC U11 and the LG v20 and could comment on the quality of the mics used in the phone?
I saw reviews over YouTube which portray what seems to be a good phone for recording audio I just want to know if the quality can compare to that of the LG V20
