    LG used to put really good DACs in their phones. So for somebody who uses his phone as an MP3 player that can also take calls, my LG V30 was perfect.

        I’m still holding onto my V40, eventually want to use it as a soundboard for gaming or something

          I still have my LG G3 with Cyanogenmod on it. Live to boot it up and pretend it’s 2014

      I had the V60. It was a little big, but audio was great. I miss the headphone jack. I’m sad they don’t make phones anymore.

      I had an LG flip phone with stereo speakers - one on each side of the hinge. Had hours of midi tracks on it, and it rendered them pretty well.

      I am gutted that my LG Wing’s USB port is damaged. I can still charge it thanks to having wireless charging so now I always look for phones with one AS A BACKUP for charging.

      But it’s the fun quirky spinning slider screen is just amazing. For pure unadulterated brain rot doomscrolling, I can put on a YouTube video or stream on the main screen and hold the phone “upright”, the video will be playing in full screen and I can shitpost in discord or anywhere on the small screen.

      Or if I want to shitpost more seriously, I swap the positions and hold the phone 90 degrees and have whatever social media I have on the main screen in portrait and have the video play on the small screen.

      It also makes for a great car phone. Have whatever navigation app I’m running on the main, and have the music player on the small screen to easily change tracks. Maybe one day I’ll be brave enough to crack the back open and replace the USB port.
