In this day and age, we’re spoiled for choice when it comes to mobile phones. Whether you’re a budding photographer or an avid mobile gamer, you’re sure to find something for you.
What about music lovers? What should you be looking out for if your mobile phone is used to listen to music?
5 Audio-centric Specs to Look Out for
There are a few things you’ll want to check off the list when looking for a phone that delivers premium quality audio:
1. RAM
Without enough random-access memory (RAM), a phone may become slow or glitchy when you're using your preferred music app simultaneously with other apps. Look for handsets that have at least 6GB of RAM.
2. Internal & External Memory Capacity
If you prefer downloading your songs, it’s important that you have enough space for it all. In this case, look out for phones with at least 128GB internal storage. Go bigger with 256GB, or opt for ones that support expandable memory through an external microSD card.
3. 5G Compatibility

4. Headphone Jack
If you prefer wired audio, you'll want a phone with a 3.5mm headset jack. The OnePlus Nord CE 5G is one of the many devices with a headphone jack. However, with technological advancements, there are also wireless headphones that produce impressive quality audio too.
5. Dolby Atmos
A few select devices come with Dolby Atmos surround-sound technology. Creating a virtual surround sound when audio is played from the phone's speaker or through headphones, this leads to an improved listening quality, whether you’re playing music, gaming, or watching movies.
Of course, because all of these communication methods are online, there's one thing you'll need - a top-notch home fibre broadband connection.
