In my words
Straight from the video. Tap a timestamp to hear me say it.
“it was the battery life champion it had literally the best speakers on a mobile device”
“second only to the asus rog phone 3 and that thing's just a monster”
“It's got probably the best speakers on a phone ever.”
“i know asus has this on their rog phone 3 for example”
“i would get rid of the rog phone as well because the notes cameras are better and the form factor way nicer”
“hands down the best audio you can get on a smartphone”
