Sound Quality on North American Edition of SGS III

[universem2]

What is the sound quality on the dual core sgs3?

So far, my experience has been excellent, except some bass response drops out on some ringtones/songs. Call reception is fantastic.

Based on GSM Arena's review, the American version is louder, since no EU law to comply to. Their tests suggest the signal attributes are slightly better on the International version, but not something the ears will likely discern.

Frankly, the sound quality seems amazing and the extra volume in the American version is nice for pushing higher end earbuds that usually have higher impedance. Let us hope evil Apple does not persecute consumers further and the SG3 avoids legal holds.

Wow so the sound is not just loud but good quality despite having the Qualcomm ?

Media reviews and one detailed analysis say Yes, but sometimes is in the ears of the "beholder".

audio is great! I love it! Qualcomm's audio DAC performs really well - I've tested it with earbuds and external speakers using music, recorded video, divx movies, youtube. All sound great

Well you asked and that is what everyone is telling. No sound problems on either the dual or quad core S3 nits that I have used.

Understood, considering most phones have weak output from the 3.5mm jack, so the audio gain is weak and sound quality can be weak if using anything except 16ohm buds. That said, Volume + helps a lot of devices... if it works for the hardware.

I blame the EU "nanny" law that forces audio to be too low and some OEMs set the same parameters for all versions, based on the EU. Archos is infamous for following this rule to a fault. Nuts considering using the same logic, knifes should all be dull, in case somebody gets cut

Looking forward to testing more myself next week- I hope.

Hah! Next thing you know, somebody will tell us what size soda drinks we can buy!! ..... Wait, that already appears to be happening.... nevermind.....
