Hi, I currently own a lumia 830(wp 10). I need some help finding a phone that can match the haac mics of my lumia, as I need to record really loud audio without clipping. budget is not really an issue but i guess the cheaper the better, as soon as it matches the mic quality of this lumia. i previously owned also a lumia 1020, a xiaomi mi4(that one impressed me, but the mic quality was really bad, so i had to change it).
not looking for the best performance, just a good camera and a good mic, would be even better if it could record without file size/time limit(for example my 830 using lumia camera stops after 30min of recording, while using windows camera it can record forever based on how much free space is avaiable). a micro sd slot would be awesome too but not needed if the phone can handle 32+gb.
any help will be appreciated
thanks!

Dear All,
Do you know if there's any solution to record audio in high quality? I've googled a lot and searched the forums for weeks but didn't find any acceptable solution.
There are some apps on the Market advertising how great they are but every one of them has pretty poor quality comparing to my old Nokia E75 capabilities.
I also know that MIUI ROMs can do the job but I don't want to change my current ROM because of this (and I don't think if it's the only solution).
I have a rock band and I used to record our reharsals, but with Desire S I can't do it anymore... (and I've passed my E75 to my gf).
Every idea is much appreciated!
Cheers!
You say about how poor the quality is. I can't see that changing the ROM would make any real difference. Are you using the built-in microphone, or are you using an external one - as I would expect the quality to be far superior through a decnt external mic.

I'm using the built-in mic as I used the built in mic for my nokia. And I mentioned the ROM change because of this thread:

I'd have a look online. The built-in mics are fairly well-known for being cr4p. Have a look at this test on the old Desire...

I was hoping that there is a sw solution for this. Thanks anyway!
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.

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
Hey people,
When recording videos I noticed the sound quality is veeery bad, but only when I use the front camera of the stock camera app. Rear camera works fine, so it seems like a software problem. It sounds like there is some kind of extreme noise reduction. Now I found another google camera app here on XDA which records the audio fine on both front and rear camera, but it still sucks that on other apps (like snapchat and instagram) the sound quality still sucks. Can't really find a solution for this on the internet, is there anyone who's found a fix for this?
Oh and I'm on OOS Pie btw. Haven't tried flashing another rom yet as I really love this rom.
Thats sadly an Hardware Thing. Thats why I bought an iPhone 8+ only for concerts... For simple pics I take my OP6
The problem of bad audio when recording is from the first oneplus. Sure it got better buy time but with the first one bass was like you were blowing on the mic, with 5 and 5t bass was like it was sucked out, with the six it just a little bit better, but for a flagship it's waaay too bad some mid range phones are better at this even my old xperia arc has better sound recording in clubs and concert or nay place with loud music
I bought a OnePlus 6t and rooted it and increased the level to 90 but the sound quality doesn't seem as good as my mate 9. I think I'm going to sell it and keep using the Mate 9. I only wanted a phone that had support still but the screen, heaphone, and regular speaks seem so much better. Has anyone else compared the heaphone quality. I'm using iphone earbuds with both phones playing Pandora.
Hey guys, I just saw the release of the Zenfone 7/7Pro and I was a little let down that it didn't have a headphone jack. I was wondering what are your thoughts, and if this will make you pull the trigger or stay with your current device?

I have Zenfone 6 and I will probably stay on it for quite a while because of no headphone jack and increase weight by 40 grams. I like what Asus have done here but I feel like I don't need an upgrade for now.
Aside from that. The camera seem to be an improvement especially with OIS. For camera2 info this is what I found
id 0 main back camera 16 mp (binned)
id 1 ultra wide front camera 6.5mp? (Possibly cropped from imx 363 for asus camera)
id 2 ultra wide back camera 12 mp
id 3 telephoto back camera 8 mp
id 4 ultra wide front camera 12 mp
id 5 telephoto front camera 8 mp
id 6 main back camera 64 mp (raw)
id 7 main front camera 64 mp (raw)
id 8 main back camera 16, 64 mp logical
id 9 main front camera 16, 64 mp logical
id 10 ultra wide back camera 6.5, 12 mp logical
id 11 ultra wide front camera 6.5, 12 mp logical
Thanks to Mishaal for the dump
This is pretty much my only complaint about the ZF7 - besides the price maybe. As I need a new phone I don't have much of an option at the moment. There is no other phone fulfilling all my requirements and I don't see any (soon) upcoming phone doing it...
- Big flat screen without punch hole
- Good ROM support
- Big battery
- Good camera
- Headphone jack
- Stereo speakers
I guess I have to get some wireless earbuds in the future, although I don't really want to... Another 200 bucks out the window. I thought if they are going to kill the jack they would also announce some earbuds.
I recently made the switch to wireless earbuds, so it's not that big of a deal for me personally. The only gripe I have with this phone is how big and heavy it is. 230g. Wish they would have kept the size and weight of the Zenfone 6.
Other than that it seems like a very good phone. Not sure about the main camera sensor (IMX686), as it's used by cheaper phones like the Pocophone F2. Also for some reason reviewers who got the phone early can't show pics taken with this phone ? Sounds like the camera software isn't fully polished yet. Can't think of other reasons...
It is not a problem for me, as I mainly use bluetooth headset. Using wired headset is a hassle for me. But I understand this is such a deal breaker for a lot of other. I don't quite understand why they can't simply just keep it to cover as much user as they can. Just like they already put dedicated microsd slot, why not just go full and make the near-perfect phone with headphone jack, which can satisfy a lot of users. The phone is quite thick enough already, so space seems not to be big problem.

I have a lot of wired headphones, so I purchased a small/cheap USB-C to 3.5mm DAC/adapter from Amazon called a Clipthat (silly name).
Honestly, the cheap Clipthat sounds better than the headphone jack on my ZF6. I currently have both a ZF6 and ZF7Pro, at least until I get everything transferred over and the ZF7Pro setup to my taste.
Not an issue for me. Switched to Bluetooth earbuds a while back and being wireless has been the best decison ever! Only every now and then not being able to plug my phone in somewhere for audio has been every so slightly problematic, but not a deal breaker for me at all
No headphone jack doesn't bother me. I have bluetooth in my car and wireless earbuds. I can't remember the last time I used the headphone jack on my zenfone 6.

No headphone jack is literally my only complaint for this phone.
Easy to unlock, rom support should be a breeze (Once it gets going). Super fast Full screen with no holes or notches, better selfie camera than any on the market. Microsd card support.
My friend bought a galaxy s20 and was very upset by the comparison of our geekbench scores since we both have the same SOC. Considering he paid $400 more for his phone and can't even use his hotspot without paying additional charges to his carrier.
Since my only downside I could find was the headphone jack, I went ahead and got the 7, and then bought a usb c to headphone adapter. I have not needed to plug my phone in during the day yet. At the end of my average day when I go to bed I am still around 15-20%.
This is pretty standard these days
