LG V30 to offer next-gen audio functions unseen in a smartphone

The upcoming flagship smartphone from LG is going to be an interesting one, at least for music lovers. The company's official blog states that LG V30 will offer next-generation audio functions unseen in a smartphone before for a personalized sound experience that is also easy to use. Moreover, LG has also made a bold claim by saying, 'LG V30 is a perfect example of the partnership strategy behind developing the perfect mobile device for audiophiles.'

Recently we came across a teaser video released by LG showcasing a montage of different people enjoying music. The teaser video was meant to highlight the audio system of the LG V30 but did not reveal anything in particular. Today it makes perfect sense as LG has penned down almost all the details of the audio system to be featured in the upcoming flagship handset.

As per LG, the new smartphone features a 32-bit Advanced Hi-Fi Quad DAC powered by ESS Technology's SABRE ES9218P. The Hi-Fi Quad DAC presents two new features: digital filters and sound presets. While the original Hi-Fi Quad DAC emphasized delivering Hi-Fi sound as close as possible to the original source by minimizing distortion and white noise, Advanced Hi-Fi Quad DAC offers more customizable options.

LG also highlights that to develop sound presets, LG engineers studied the characteristics of popular tones and identified the best combination of sounds to create four optimal pre-programmed settings: enhanced, detailed, live and bass. Even with ordinary equipment, LG V30 users can experience much of the high-quality audio enjoyed by listeners using expensive headsets.

The blog further mentions that the Hi-Fi Quad DAC will control left and right audio signals separately, adjusting balance in such detail that listeners will feel as if they are standing in the center of a concert hall. Moreover, the company claims that it has managed to cut the distortion rate down to 0.0002 percent. The audio paths are wider than ever in the V30 so it can process large, high-quality audio files without any lag and with greater accuracy.

Audiophiles will be delighted to know that LG continues its close partnership with B&O PLAY and a set of high quality B&O PLAY earphones will come bundled with the upcoming LG V30.

The smartphone is set to launch on August 30, 2017.
