Cheaper than I expected

can't wait for the whole thing to just fall apart like their iems
>>100165932Oh shit that's quite cheap, now I want one
>>100165860why not just buy an old ipod nano or zune?
>>100166064You are seriously suggesting that in a time Android fans, who love BOTH headphone jacks and sd card slots, are starving for choices?
>>100166064120Hz OLED you imbecile.
What is the purpose of two jacks? Why not three then?
>>100166408One for headphones, the other to record farts with an appropriate mic
>>100166064those aren't phones, dumbass
>>100165860>4.4mmwhat in the shit is that? never seen headphones in that format
>>100165860i wanna bang that chink
>>100165860>"MIAD">not "MAID"ONE JOB
>>100165860That's cool and all but they'll stop supporting it 2 years after release and I don't think audiopedophiles are well versed in maintaining roms like Lineage.Those retards usually fall for the dumbest shit imaginable, just add an acronym and they'll throw money at it. DACs, FLACs, DMP you call it.They're basically the sommeliers of technology.
Theres already too much hard baked spyware in my life why would I intentionally add Chinese government shit to the list.
>No NC and transparency modeWho the fuck still uses wired headphones/earphones with smartphones?Also the processor is fucking crap.This is DOA.
Slap a cartoon drawing of an underage girl on the box and braindead "audiophiles" will have their fingers twitching in anticipation of entering their parents' credit card details
>>100166634>>100166754>I don't think audiopedophiles are well versed in maintaining roms like LineageNot everyone is into that shit. And this is their first phone and currently, the only one with 4.4mm shit in this fashion-centric phonefag world.
>>100167477My bad for unintentionally quoting the other anon. >>100167252Me>>100167472Just ignore it, then. It's not for you.
>>100167477I have a feeling that the people who constantly use 4.4mm won't use that phone anyway beacuse they won't use anything less than a 2000 dollar snakeoil PMP.
>>100167472
>>100166064No balanced output, low and slow storage, bad software support on Zune(MS likes to pretend it never happened), parts are becoming harder to source due to supplies drying up, weaker decoding requiring specialized codecs for higher bitrate files to play nice, the list sadly goes on. I've got 3 zunes, I've always loved the design, they're shockingly punchy in terms of power and were built to last, and the software was head and shoulders above iTunes relatively clunky design, but they're basically only kept alive through a small hardcore fanbase and occasional media appearances like GOTG.
>>100167472Ask no more, fampai
>>100167477not such a bright guy, was he?
>>100167472Now I really want one.>>100167704Cute
they need to pick a better processor
It seems like the device for me honestly, I don’t want a flagship phone, but I don’t want a super basic phone. It’s cheap and music oriented.If it has a decent UI for its music player I’m sold
>>100165932It's going to be huge, awful to pocket, and prone to falling out of your hand when you try to swipe type one handed.

>>100166754>LineageIf someone ports Lineage to this then I'm sold. Afaik it already runs stock Android, so I guess you could also use a script or something similar to delete default gapps. From my experience, Google Services drains a lot of battery (compared to a degoogled phone).>>100167970It's Android, so you can use whatever music player you want.
>>100165860damn, that really was cheaper than I expected, holy shit china
>>100165959That's why it's cheap. You'll just buy a new one in 2.5-4 years anyway because you want to consoom
>>100168040For that price you can afford to get another one if you drop it so many times it breaks and still not match a comparable competitors price
>>100165860>3,5mm>not a walkman clipping at your beltNGMI. 3,5mm for devices which are in your pockets is retarded. It will be broken in 2-3 months.
>>100170285It's not even out yet. Not any different from my LGs that have the jack at the bottom. And there's also a 4.4mm port.Still better than a "dongled" usb type C phone.

>>100165860>ccp phonewho cares
>>100165860If it doesn't bypass Android's internal mixer (direct audio bypass or whatever the fuck it's called) that resamples everything to 48KHz it's useless.
>>100167788that's a boy
>>100165932>Mediatek Dimensity 7050Straight in the bin.

>blyatiful
>>100171957make it half the size and I'll buy 2
>>100171167I know it
>>100171957I really don't like this design theme for moondrop products - this is the same design palette as the space travel earphones.This tacky pad printed shit just makes the product look lame
>>100166691redundant balanced connector that has no reason to exist because of 2,5mm
I expected this to be insanely overpriced as audiophile products tend to be.That's a great price and since its a chinese company there might be a legit chance it'll ship without play services.Is it true after a decade of bullshit there gonna be a single usable phone on the market?
>>100172704Looks like it's not for you, then. >>100173440Would've been an instant buy for me... IF I only live in China. It sucks as I finally get to see something that isn't a retarded slab that has no jack and microsd support. Though it shares the same specs as Lava Blaze Curve except the Lava has neither a jack or expandable storage support.
>>100165932>PWMYikes
>>100173511If it has no google services or any other chinese bloat installed I'll buy it if it comes to the EU, im on a years old lowest end crap because I refuse to pay up the ass for no jack/sd+spyware.Sadly im pretty sure it won't have a removable battery, if it did it'd be dumb to not advertise it too but I guess nothing can be perfect.
>>100166408the large one is for balanced output. you can do that on other size jacks too, i don't know why they went for 4.4 instead of 2.5.>>100166691it's what every single piece of audio equipment used before 3.5mm was a thing, and still widely used for non-consumer audio. on a portable player it's a weird choice, but there's a shit ton of headphones in 4.4, and in fact most headphones come with an adapter to make the mini jack into a full size jack.
Is it true? It doesn't have play services preinstalled?Holy shitSource: https://moondroplab.com/en/products/miad01
>>100165932>6.7 FHD>>100170879dropped.Make another one with a 4.5 to 5in 16:9 display and we may talk.

Can't wait for mark ass brownlee to review this and say it's mediocre beacuse he only cares about cameras in phones.
>>100172626This shit was too good
>>100175385this.>>100174261also this.It's almost as if 0 thought went into the making of it

>>100171167You're just a fag
>>100176206I do like cute girls (male) what of it
>>100165932>headphone jack is on topI put my phone screen against thigh bottom up, this way when I take it out it's well positioned in my hand, so they should've put the jack in the bottom like every phone has always done it forever

>>100171957wheres the hardware music buttons? it seems nobody thought this through
>>100173886>it's what every single piece of audio equipment used before 3.5mm was a thingNo, you're thinking of 6,35mm aka 1/4 inch jack4.4mm is some awful abomination designed to shove an extra two rings in there
>>100176769what's wrong with PWM displays?What's the original phone it's based off of thenis a mediatek SOC really that bad for a 350$ phone that will be used as a music player?>>100176897Is the idea that more surface area = less resistance = better signal?Is this only used for IEMs?
>>100166383literally pointless on a phone
>>100176582This, there is no modern flagship that has a headphone jack on the bottom, doesn't have shitty holes and the fingerprint sensor at the back.Still using my s9 for this reason.
>>100176949>Is the idea that more surface area = less resistance = better signal?No it's used for balanced headphones or iems, 3.5mm the L- and R- share the same pin
>MediaKEK Yeah, no.
>>100165860>Adding links since 4chonk won't accept long screenshots anymore.What the fuck is a long screenshot?Don't tell me you tried screen capping longcat and had a 512x274877906944 PNG and didn't even get the whole thing.

>>100165932absolutely trash specs woooids will eat this up tho I'm sure they did their marketing research
>>100171957i wish this didnt have a fucking curved screen. what the fuck is the point
>>100180896its not bad if it actually has a good audio. Have you seen the shit sony released? The player is over priced garbage compared to this one. I highly doubt anyone getting this is gonna be running games or whatever bloated software.
>>100173935>It doesn't have play services preinstalledSOVL>>100170879>>100174261>>100175730That's a PHONE for audiohebephiles, not an audio player.
>>100165860not counting in the audio isn't it overpriced for the specs?
>>100178492There are TRRS 3.5mm plugs and sockets with separate contacts for R- and L-, but the scheme didn't catch on as far as I know, and 2.5mm TRRS is in decline. 4.4mm is what nearly all audiophool designers have swung to.
>>100176824indeed>>1001761074-pin XLR is much more practical.HeadRoom undoubtedly got the idea of dual 3-pin XLRs from pro audio, but 4-pin was and still is the most practical way to do balanced.
>>100171957>anime sci-fi looking>>100181281retardation, that's the point
>>100182057 A pricier Lava Blaze Curve. Probably due to the audio related components and microsd slot. A bit more expensive than a brand new 6/128 variant of an Xperia 10 V with inferior chip.At any rate, one of the few choices available to jack+microsd fans that isn't a budget trash from Xiaomeme or Samshit.
Design is kind of gay if I'm being honest. Looks like it was made by some millennial with San Francisco sensibilities.
>>100174555>schoolshooter/stolenvalor phonekek
>>100178739kek
>>100171957whats this design called again? Swedish werkstatt or so? I swear I saw it before in some other music thread.
>>100165860No mention of a fingerprint sensor, please tell me it has one because if it doesn't that is laughably retarded. Also curved edges, yuck no thanks.
>>100184785Under display
>>100182057The problem is that it doesn't actually compete with phones, which makes it hard to place. Its an Android DAP with a modem, not a phone with an emphasis on audio (i.e. old LG V-series). I'm sure it'll score well as a DAP, but don't expect much on the software front as a phone. Software support in particular is going to be nonexistent, just look at the state of the Moondrop Link app for connecting their TWS. The Sparks and Alice are great sounding TWS, but they have no shot of competing with the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, or Airpods Pro 2, or even something like the OPPO Enso because they only excel at being earphones and not being TWS
>>100185290what the fuck is a tws if not earphones
>>100185296Being a good wired earphone just involve having good audio quality, seal, comfort, etc.... Even things like cables can be swapped out. Being a good TWS need other things like seamless transition between 1/2 buds mode, between codec, tap control usability, etc... on top of that. Something like the Pixel Buds is good at being a TWS but the audio is trash, whereas Moondrop just made it a good earphone but phoned in the firmware.
>>100185348you should not be surprised to hear this but the software is also provided by whoever manufactures the soc, i.e. space travels behaves just like any other tws by qualcommso in other words, moondrop's are as competent as anyone else's
>>100165932I will buy this if they release in Europe.
>>100165860I'm sold
>>100170725Termux sucks.
they sell it already in Europe but will it be unlocked?https://hifigo.com/products/moondrop-miad01
>>100165860>based>companyGo advertise somewhere else.
>>100165932>oled when will this fad finally die out
this honesty is endearing
>>100186720you mean carrier unlocked? yes
>>100165860>it's not good, but it workskek I like their style
>>100165860great for listening to high fidelity tracks while shitting on the streets
>>100173391it's the other way around actually, 2.5mm is dead and being replaced by 4.4mm due to it being much easier to solder on top of being actually mechanically robust.
>>100190314lmao snoy had it right all alongThough not hard to predict, anyone who used those nokia headsets back in the day would know how flimsy 2.5mm can be.
>>100186720when will they sell the maid phone in canada
>>100170818Warranty voided
>>100190607yeah, just like every phone maker ever.
>>100165860>adding links sinceYou should be adding links anyway. Archive them if you must. It's inexcusable how people got psyop'd into prefering easily editable screencaps over the actual source.>>100168276Good. Now fuck off and stop ruining a good series with your autism.
>>100176206source
>>100186720i want so badly to order it. i dont care at all about the cam specs, cause im not the guy that posts on instagram or any other social media trash but i care alot about musicAlso the design of this moonphone is unique,i dont know i fell into it. man im tired of the same fucking design that every fucking brand tries to sell and turned us into these idiot gsmarena guys in forums typing: 1)i like the x,y,z phone cause it has a very good camera its better than my previous phone and a second guy responds 2)yes but the ratio is 60hz instead of 120hz so im gonna buy the t phoneAs of the chinese thing i have to say that everything is manufactured in china. even nokia which is a finnish company send their phones to chinathe 2 things that kept me away from ordering it isa) i dont think there will be any english manual in the box b) i dont know anything about the apps or how many are in this android os. for example i dont want any baidu app on my phone
>>100183212>millennial with San Francisco sensibilitiesI'm going to use this now to describe sci-fi anime in front of f/a/ggots
>>100185290this anon is right. It could be and probably will be shitty daily driver. I dont see it winning over pmp or Xperia/LG Vs as audiophiles phone.
>>100192603Site says it runs stock android. And you can still use adb to uninstall stuff.
>>100195149I may end up buying one if there's a launch discount on ali or something, do an A/B with my V60.
>>100165932>mediatekNah bro naaaaah
>>10016586>>100165932wow this is the cowon d2 of the era for all those who are oldfags
>>100190607As if they were going to respect the warranty terms to begin with
>>100197484nice then
>>100165860>mediatekSo its shit.12GB for a god damn phone, the god forsaken bloat of Android.
>>100188173Unlikely never.Mico led and lcd could have maybe be a decent rival but that is losing support over what Samsung and LG have invested in manufacturing OLEDs in a massive scale.
>>100200788It's gonna die out on tvs. Which is based enough for me.
>>100200776It runs stock Android, not One Jew Eye bloat.
>>100201017ok so what are we waiting for?so far there is only 1 english unboxing on tube but its a shitty one,it doesnt reveal much Decent unboxing vids https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFRZjhpi6PIhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_aLsLfBo8TMbut i doubt i can set up this phone correctly without any english manual
