HTC 7: front facing speakers, microsd slot up to 2TB, 469 ppi , full brushed aluminum casing, smoooth OS, best phone i ever had,, especially at the time, blew everything else out of rhe water.
still can't believe big companies aren't making phones with front facing speakers.
Sony Xperia still have front facing speakers.
I really like that Sony didn't abandoned good features just to follow the hype. Some of those features are a headphone jack, an SD card and a small screen (big screens also available in the 1 series).
The xperia is more expensive then what I would usually spend on a phone, but it is probably the only phone that still has all those things you mentioned, which are nearly all dealbreakers for me. (Asus zenfone why did you have to become big :( )
Have a look at the Xperia 10 Series (for example the Xperia 10 VI), they have all those features for what I find is a reasonable price.
thank you!
the new one does! xperia 1 vi, jesus that's great, thank you.
I wanted a fair phone, but front-facing speakers are absolutely huge for me.
Most new phones have at one front facing speaker. Does it really make a lot of difference with one more?
huge difference, yes.
especially with volume, accuracy, clarity and pitch. on most phones with speakers spacing away from you, it's like having one speaker plugged into your TV, it's pointed away from you at corner of your wall.
you can turn it up as loud as the speaker will go, but the sound quality isn't going to increase.
you can imagine the difference having a conversation with someone looking at you versus having a conversation with someone turned away from you.
and the difference in quality between the speaker at the top of most phones and the bottom facing speaker is very clear, whereas most front-facing phones focus on two good speakers.
Yes, it makes a huge difference if you enjoy music, movies, podcasts; anything with sound on an HTC One from 11 years ago will sound much better than what the newest iPhone or pixel can offer because the speakers are facing you instead of playing audio away from you(and the HTC one speakers kicked ass)
