With just a few days to go before the reveal of the LG V30, LG continues to boast about the features of its upcoming flagship smartphone.
The V30 “will offer next-generation audio functions unseen in a smartphone before,” LG boasted today. LG is equipping the V30 with a 32-bit Advanced Hi-Fi Quad DAC with two new features: digital filters and sound presets.
With digital filters, LG touts that the V30 “improves the pre- and post-ringing of the impulse response with filters that can be customized to personal tastes.” Meanwhile, the four sound presets — enhanced, detailed, live, and bass — can help improve the audio that you’re listening to.
LG also boasts that it’s cut distortion rate down to 0.0002 percent with the V30, resulting in clearer audio, and that the V30 also incorporates high-resolution audio streaming technology from MQA Ltd. to offer high-res audio without downloading huge files or gobbling up lots of mobile data.
In addition to all of these audio output improvements, LG is working to make sure that you can capture good audio with the V30, too. With its HD Audio Recorder, the V30 can use the phone’s audio receiver as a microphone to record loud sounds clearly, enabling the phone to capture a wider dynamic range of sounds without distortion.
Finally, LG says that it’s continuing its partnership with B&O PLAY on the V30. This means that B&O PLAY has helped to tune the LG V30’s sound experience and that a set of “high-quality B&O PLAY earphones” will come bundled with the V30.
Past LG V series smartphones have placed a heavy focus on audio performance, and it looks like that’ll continue with the V30. While audio features like a Hi-Fi Quad DAC and digital filters on their own may not be enough to sell the V30 for most folks, they are are nice additions that could tip the scales in the V30’s favor for folks that are weighing LG’s new phone against its competition.
