The LG G6 will arrive to try to compete with the high-end mobiles on the market. It will be complex if it finally arrives with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 processor, which was last year's top tier. But be that as it may, it will give it a go with high-end multimedia features. In this case, it will include a Quad DAC with high-quality audio, but is it really necessary on a mobile?
Improving the audio on the LG G6
The great asset that the LG G6 will play for is one of the few options it has. Your screen will be good yes. It's obvious because LG is one of the big manufacturers in the display market. However, that will not be enough to compete with a Samsung Galaxy S8 that will match it in image quality, or could even surpass it, nor with Sony Xperia that could come to have a 4K display as claimed.
We have already said that it is impossible for the smartphone to compete at the processor level, since it will have a chip from the previous generation. However, it will seek to excel when it comes to audio, including a Quad DAC. This is a processor that will be in charge of converting the signal from digital to analog, and that will have four cores. In addition, it will independently control each of the channels in stereo, which will be an improvement over the LG V20. This last mobile already had a Quad DAC with which we could obtain a high-level audio quality, but the truth is that it was a little sold mobile.
This LG G6 would be a smartphone that would reach more users, and that will bet on multimedia quality to try to convince. But we will see if that will be enough. Probably not, and even more so knowing that many rivals are arriving this year, with Huawei with more and more prominence, event expectations for the Samsung Galaxy S8 still higher than those of the Galaxy S7, and other high-end mobiles with an economic price that become in best option.
Terrible article, they do not explain whether or not the HiFi DAC is necessary.
