Does the smart phone forget something besides the camera, screen and processor? Recently, foreign science and technology media wrote that while these configurations have made great strides forward, they have forgotten another key point - audio technology and mobile phone speaker effect. This may become another focus of smart phone development, providing consumers with a better music experience.

Summary of foreign media views : Before that, smart phones seemed to ignore the quality of audio technology and speaker devices. The author also puts forward his own opinion that the processing scheme of tablet computer can be emulated by placing speakers on both sides of the body, so as to create a better stereo effect. The following is the full translation:

Now it is the end of the year. When we review the smartphone field in 2012 and compare it with 2011, what changes have taken place in the smartphone field? Here is my summary: the screen has become larger. This year, the iPhone screen has become larger, which is unprecedented in previous years. PPI has also been greatly improved to show more details; And operators are also actively promoting the LTE 4G high-speed network (you know, the American people); The system is more perfect in details, the interface is more fluent, and has more convenient functions. But it seems to ignore one aspect, that is, audio technology does not seem to be paid much attention to.

? HTC has always attached great importance to the music experience of mobile phones

If there is any manufacturer that has always maintained a strategic plan in audio technology, it seems that HTC is the only one. But as far as I know, HTC has not played well in audio and music. This has nothing to do with the brand, nor does it mean that the headset equipment provided is not good enough; Instead, these manufacturers should pay more attention to the design of mobile phones, especially the design of the internal structure of mobile phones, so that the speakers can play better and more authentic stereo sound.

For example, the Nexus 4, a recently popular Android machine, runs very fast and smoothly, and the user experience of system software is also very good. But the loudspeaker playing effect of this machine is so poor that it is surprising and hard to accept. I have to admit that the speaker volume is still very large, but the audio response effect is really poor; Even if you listen to music with high-end headphones, you can hardly hear the rich bass effect.

In fact, my requirements are not very strict. For example, the Samsung Galaxy Music device has excellent external playback effect, but it is difficult to have such a good situation in smart phones. And this makes me think it is very important. Maybe it is not easy to achieve such audio effects. Many works are not so obvious and not on the surface.

• Solution: imitate the speaker design scheme of the flat panel

However, another way to solve the external effect is the current processing method of some tablets. Because the tablets have enough space, they can often Speakers are placed on both sides of the body , which means making two speakers. With sufficient space, the manufacturer can arrange relevant components to achieve better audio effects. This is very different from the mobile phone, because the mobile phone is compact, and the speaker is often placed under the front screen and closely connected with other parts. However, this does not mean that there is no solution for mobile phones. I still believe that manufacturers can find ways to overcome the problem. From the equipment I have tested, the speaker effect of the tablet is really better than that of the mobile phone.

The problem of stereo can also be solved by using the design of frame audio playing out, because when stereo is needed, the music played by the left and right speakers may be different, and this design can well reflect the music difference and create a more realistic stereo. And if the distance between the two audio amplifiers is farther, the stereo effect will be better.

For mobile phone manufacturers, it is really time to consider better audio effects. Because I think it is almost the end to reduce the thickness of the mobile phone. In fact, an appropriate increase in the thickness of the mobile phone can increase a lot of battery capacity at the same time to improve the endurance. A larger screen of the mobile phone can not only have a larger battery, but also help the mobile phone have a better external playback device to play better audio quality. What I mean is that manufacturers should stop putting audio technology aside and make better audio playback effects. Consumers will like it very much.
