Mobile phone type
A telephone is a portable communication device that is used for voice communication. Some phone models, in addition to performing the main task - providing high-quality communication, have additional functions: mp3-player, Bluetooth, FM-radio, etc. The main advantages of phones are compact size and low cost.
A smartphone is a phone equipped with an operating system that allows you to install and work with additional applications, which in turn significantly expands the functionality of the device. On smartphones, the user can fully use all the possibilities of the Internet, work with mail, create and edit documents, take high-quality photos and shoot videos. In short, the smartphone has turned into a pocket computer and has become an indispensable human assistant. Smartphones, unlike phones, are much larger (some models' screens have already surpassed 6 inches) and more cost.
Type of shell
Classic candy bar- the simplest type of case, which does not contain moving parts and is presented in the form of a monoblock with an open screen and keyboard. The main disadvantage is the need to constantly lock the buttons to avoid unnecessary presses. This type of case is the most robust.
Clamshell - the body consists of two parts, connected by a hinge. There is a keyboard on the bottom of the phone, and a screen on the top. This design is compact, avoids accidental button presses and protects the screen. Some models are equipped with two screens: an internal and an external one.
With hinged lid- the phone has a flip cover that protects the phone keypad and prevents accidental pressing on it.
Slider is a body that consists of two parts located in parallel planes and connected by a special mechanism that allows them to move relative to each other. There is a screen on the top of the phone and a keyboard on the bottom. This design allows you to get a compact phone size and avoid accidental clicks.
Slider horizontal- unlike a conventional slider, parts of the slider move apart not horizontally, but vertically.
Watch is a mobile phone, which is made in the form of a wristwatch.

Memory card slot
Used to expand the functionality of the phone. Modern smartphones support memory cards up to 256 GB, which in turn allows you to store a large amount of photos, music, videos, navigation maps and other information necessary for the user.
Weight, gr.
Waterproof housing
Protects the smartphone from getting liquid inside the device. Modern smartphones are equipped with two standards of dust and moisture protection: IP 67 and IP 68. Smartphones with IP 67 protection indicate complete dust protection, as well as the ability to immerse the device in water to a depth of 1 meter, IP 68 - to a depth of more than 1 meter.
Shockproof housing
Allows you to keep your smartphone or phone working under extreme operating conditions (drops, shocks). Shock-resistant smartphones are popular with builders, tourists and people with active lifestyles.

Screen diagonal, "
The diagonal size of the screen, measured in inches. Smartphones with smaller screen sizes fit better in the hand. A large screen diagonal increases the amount of information that can be displayed on it, however, at the same time, the size of the smartphone and its power consumption increase.
Touch screen
The touch screen allows you to control your smartphone using touch. Due to the simplicity of the graphical interface, ease of operation, quick access to device functions, the touch screen greatly simplifies the work with a smartphone. Depending on the smartphone model, touch screens can recognize from 5 to 10 simultaneous touches (multitouch). Multitouch makes working with a smartphone much easier and more comfortable.

Built-in memory, MB
Built-in memory is a part of the system that is designed to store data, program codes and other necessary information. The size of the built-in memory plays an important role, since the amount of information that the user can store on the phone (programs, photos, videos) depends on its size. This parameter plays an especially important role in those smartphones that lack support for memory cards.
RAM, MB
RAM is used to store files of applications running on a smartphone. When the application is closed, this data is removed from it. The amount of RAM affects the number of applications that can be simultaneously launched on a smartphone. With a shortage of RAM, the speed of the smartphone will also drop significantly.
CPU
The most important part of a smartphone, which determines the speed of its operation and power consumption. The largest smartphone processor manufacturers are Qualcomm and MTK. Qualcomm processors have higher performance and lower power consumption than MTK, but they are more expensive.
Number of SIM-cards
Most modern phones and smartphones support the ability to work with two (sometimes even three) SIM-cards. In practice, this allows you to abandon the use of several phones for each separate SIM card, and use only one phone both for calls to numbers of different operators and for the mobile Internet.
GLONASS
The Russian satellite system, which, along with GPS, allows you to determine the coordinates of a location using signals received from satellites. The joint use of GLONASS and GPS allows for more accurate determination of the coordinates of the location, and the navigation program can use data from the satellites of the two systems.
3G (UMTS) support
A third generation network that allows data transmission at a relatively high speed (in practice, up to 384 Kbps). At the same time, 3G allows you to use video telephony, download audio and video files to a smartphone or phone.
Wi-Fi
Standard for data transmission over radio channels. This technology allows you to create a wireless connection between smartphones and computers to transfer data or provide access to the Internet.
Bluetooth
Wireless communication technology that allows data to be transmitted over radio channels. Using Bluetooth, the user can create a wireless connection between smartphones (for data transfer), remotely control devices and exchange voice communications.
GPS module
A device that allows you to receive signals from a satellite to determine your location. The positioning accuracy depends on the number of satellites from which the GPS module receives signals. Thanks to the GPS module, the smartphone user can use his device as a navigator.
LTE / 4G
A wireless high-speed data transmission standard for smartphones. This technology allows you to increase the download speed up to 150 Mbps, depending on the frequency. LTE / 4G supports operation at different frequencies (called bands) from 1 to 44. Bands 3, 7, 20, 38 are used in Russia. When choosing a smartphone, you should make sure that the required frequency is supported by the smartphone.
NFC
A wireless technology that allows several devices that are close to each other (no more than 5-10 cm) to exchange data. In smartphones, the presence of NFC allows you to make instant payments to pay for purchases in a store or travel on the subway.
SIM card type
Appointment
For seniors
The main goal of phones for seniors is to be as simple and convenient to use as possible. Basically, these phones are used to make calls and send SMS. Phones for seniors can be equipped with large buttons and numbers, larger screen fonts (for people with poor eyesight), loud ringing.
Children's mobile phones
Children's phone models are available in bright colors, and the body can be made in different shapes, and may also contain parental control programs.
Platform
Android is an open source operating system that allows third-party applications to be installed. In this regard, a large number of companies are engaged in the production of android-based smartphones, and the Play Market offers a huge selection of additional applications.
Windows is a less popular operating system developed by Microsoft Corporation. The main disadvantage of this operating system is the significantly smaller set of applications in the Microsoft Store.
iOS is an operating system designed specifically for mobile devices manufactured by Apple. The main advantages of this operating system are ease of use, good system optimization and a huge selection of applications in the App Store.
Among the users of Android devices there are also those who are used to old and loud push-button phones, they do not care about the sound quality of the speaker, they do not care about the depth of low frequencies, they only care about the volume. Manufacturers still do not forget such users. If you want to switch to a modern smartphone without losing this feature of push-button phones, we suggest considering the loudest smartphones of this year. We'll start with the quietest smartphones in our top.
HTC One (M8) - 75.2 decibels
Yes, yes ... This is the quietest smartphone on this list, but there is always a "but": firstly, it has Boom Sound stereo speakers, and secondly, the sound of these speakers is of the highest quality today. In other words, this is the best volume to quality ratio. Because, as a rule, if a speaker is very loud, then it is not entirely of high quality.
Meizu MX4 - 80 decibels
Regarding the sound quality, the MX4 does not show anything outstanding even when using a high-quality headset, but the volume of 80 decibels is good news.
Oppo Find 7 - 80 decibels
A large, high-quality screen coupled with a loud speaker is perfect for watching movies, but our colleagues from phonearena claim that the sound lacks volume and depth, let's take their word for it.
HTC Desire 501 - 80 decibels
Desire 501 debuted in Taiwan in November 2013, more than a year has passed since its announcement, but it still boasts a very loud speaker. Want an inexpensive Android smartphone with a loud speaker? Desire 501 is your choice.
G3 - 81 decibels
Need a loud flagship but the One M8's design and shell aren't to your liking? Then you should pay attention to the flagship of the Korean giant - LG G3, which was presented in May 2014. However, the loud speaker is not its main difference, because the G3 was one of the first to receive a QHD display.
Samsung GALAXY S5 - 81 decibels
Even if the current generation of the GALAXY S-line is not so successful, it has quite attractive characteristics, including a loud speaker, the volume of which can reach 81 decibels. Unlike the Find 7, the GALAXY S5 has a fairly deep and bass sound.
Samsung GALAXY Note 4 - 84 decibels
In addition to being the best tablet phone, it is also one of the loudest smartphones on the market. For lovers of large displays, a stylus and a loud speaker, it will suit like no other.
Samsung GALAXY Note Edge - 87 decibels
Except for the innovative screen with a rounded bezel, the Note Edge has a whopping 87 decibels of sound, head and shoulders above its closest competitors.
True connoisseurs of high-quality sound are skeptical about listening to music through the phone's speakers. But many users find the speaker quality of modern Android devices quite satisfactory to use as an everyday “music center”. It will be very interesting to know which of the smartphones on the market in 2015 have the loudest speakers. The loudest smartphone of the season was named Samsung technicians - S6 Active.
These phones with incredibly powerful speakers are explored in the highly informative illustrated article Loud, louder, LOUDEST! Here are the phones with the loudest speakers so far in 2015, published by Phone Arena. It briefly outlines the sound features of the loudest telephone speakers of the current year.
ZTE Axon Pro - 80.3 decibels
Axon Pro really pleases with its speaker. When playing music through the built-in speaker, users will hear a surprisingly powerful sound that, while loud, does not sound overly high-pitched or annoying.
BLU Pure XL - 80.8 decibels
Pure XL was a pleasant surprise. Its rear-mounted speaker undoubtedly manages to deliver powerful sound. The bass is reproduced flawlessly.
Xiaomi - 82 decibels
The rear speaker on this phone is loud and clear, and while it lacks a bit of depth, the speaker quality on this phone is quite satisfying.
Samsung Galaxy S6 Active - 83 decibels
Surprisingly, it is the S6 Active that, among all its other perks, is the loudest phone of 2015. The sound of the phone speaker at maximum volume is somewhat tense and overly harsh.
M9 and HTC One M8
It should be noted that in this note we are talking specifically about the sound volume (in decibels), and not about how highly users rate the sound quality of the speaker. Many users consider HTC flagship devices to be the devices with the highest quality loud sound. In this regard, in a note by John V. "HTC One M9 vs HTC One M8", published back in March on the pages of the Phone Arena resource, it is written:
Technically, the M8 has a higher volume of 75.2 decibels compared to the 72.8 decibels of the M9, but the improvements to its Dolby Audio Surround give the M9 increased fidelity.
Perhaps you have your own impressions of the quality of the speakers of one of the reviewed smartphones?
How do you choose your smartphone? Someone is looking for more beautiful, someone more powerful. Some pay attention to the camera, some have no idea what Android is and what version of it came out last. Someone cares about two SIM cards inside, and someone else - an internal memory of 64 GB.
But imagine some people are looking for the loudest phone. After all, we have long forgotten what we need our gadgets for. The smartphone turned into a toy, stopped ringing, only occasionally sends messages.
Choice
Of course, it is difficult to determine the loudest phone in one fell swoop. After all, for this you have to collect all the models of the world, turn on the sound, listen to the call. After all, technical specifications can deceive a gullible buyer.
Since 2018 is approaching, it is important to consider several models of recent years, as well as the opinion of the people.
Diversity
Studying the reviews of modern smartphones, one often hears that this or that model is cool, but the sound pumped up. Now it is not too bass, then it is too "dryish", then it wheezes or whistles, etc.
Fortunately, today there are still manufacturers who focus on the speakers of the device. It is they who are trying to make the loudest phone.
- VKworld T3;
- Marshall London;
- Samsung Galaxy S6 Active;
- ZTE Axon 7;
- HighScreen Thunder;
- Geemarc Clearsound CL8200;
- Nokia 6233;
- Explay MU220.
VKworld T3
As you can see, trying to find out what are the loudest phones, you won't stumble upon flagships. You will probably hear the names of most of the models for the first time. One of these little-known phones is the VKworld T3. It was released in 2016 and retails for just $ 80.
The manufacturer did not bother with its design and some useful functions. He focused on the volume of the phone. According to the company, this model produces 145 dB.
Those who are even superficially familiar with physics understand that these are unrealistic numbers. After all, such an indicator is given by a fighter during takeoff. Nevertheless, as practice has shown, the model can generate up to 90 dB.
To give such an indicator to the user, a large speaker is needed. It can be seen under the back cover. Compared to conventional speakers, this one is 5 times larger, and they worked well on the resonator.
Marshall london
The next model is from a well-known company that specializes in audio. Marshall makes cool speakers, headphones and other audio equipment. In 2015, she decided to introduce the world to a music smartphone. This time the cost exceeded $ 600. Apparently, that's why the phone didn't gain popularity. After all, its "filling" was rather mediocre. Who wants to pay that kind of money just for a loud speaker?
Nevertheless, this model has one of the loudest calls. The phone looks more like a Hi-Fi player that can make calls. It is difficult to prove that we have the loudest model in front of us. Although the manufacturer claims it.
There are no sound indicators. Well, on hearing it really seems noisy. Especially when compared with modern models.
One of the features of this model is two headphone jacks. And the Marshall-style look can captivate the buyer.
Samsung Galaxy S6 Active
The Korean company is practicing protected versions of its flagships. Therefore, the famous Galaxy S6 could not pass by such a strategy. The company also released a protected version. And besides, it endowed the model with a good speaker.
The phone was released in 2015. It sold for $ 700. It was not easy to acquire it. Now hardly anyone will be able to find it on sale.
Loudness indicators reach 85 dB, which is an excellent result. Problems are only observed with bass and "dirt" at the maximum volume.
ZTE Axon 7
This model is often talked about on the forums, suggesting that this is one of the loudest phones. It went on sale in 2016. The stereo speakers are located on the front panel. The peculiarity of this model is that the sound is saturated with low frequencies, which happens very rarely.
In addition, to make the phone look even cooler against the background of such high-profile decisions, it was equipped with hardware. A DAC works inside, which is engaged in decoding sound. There is Dolby Atmos technology.
HighScreen Thunder
Another model that positions itself as the loudest. It is even noticeable by the name ( thunder translated from English as "thunder"). So it comes as no surprise that many consider it a noisy phone.
The manufacturer himself claims that its volume can exceed 100 dB. Of course, this is more of a marketing ploy than the truth. The volume is much lower here. But again, in comparison with others, it does sound very loud.
To prove its coolness, the manufacturer added the loudest ringtones to the library. If you install them, then there will be much fewer missed ones. True, those around you can be frightened.
The device has a large speaker under the cover, which once again proves the manufacturer's attempts to create the loudest device.
Geemarc Clearsound CL8200
It just so happens that most high-profile phones are in the past. Therefore, they are all push-button and do not belong to the category of smartphones. One of these models at one time was the Geemarc Clearsound CL8200 phone.
He was known about 7 years ago. At that time, it was specially designed for people with hearing impairments.
As a result, the model became in demand among the elderly, since it had not only high-quality sound, but also large buttons, as well as simple controls. The volume level of an ordinary device was 8-10 dB, this model produced 25 dB. Naturally, such indicators could not go unnoticed.
Until now, the Geemarc Clearsound CL8200 is considered the loudest phone in the world. Although at the present time - a controversial statement.
Nokia 6233
This legendary "button" is also often mentioned on the forums. It was released in 2005. At that time, all models from this manufacturer were successful. This device is no exception. In addition, it turned out to be the loudest phone in the Nokia lineup.
In addition to the cool sound, it had a stylish appearance and versatility. Since in front of us is not a smartphone, but an ordinary mobile phone, he was able, in particular, to call, receive and send messages. In addition, he was even able to take pictures, although the 2 megapixel module was frankly bad.
Explay MU-220
Well, it's hard not to say about the Explay MU-220. This model already in appearance hints that it has some kind of special sound. Before us is a candy bar with classic buttons. The screen is 2.2 inches.
The back cover houses a large domed loudspeaker labeled “Music”. Some people compare its volume to the sound of a laptop. As for the rest, we have before us the usual "dialer", which can only be used for its intended purpose. Surfing the Internet or taking cool photos will not work here.
Ringtones
If you do not have one of the above models, you can find the loudest ringtones for your phone. There are tons of them on the Internet. And they are very different here - for all occasions.
Of course, many users believe that this option will help them make the call louder and stop missing incoming calls. In fact, it looks more like self-deception. After all, if the speaker of the phone can give out a certain volume indicator, then you will not get more from it.
The essence of the loudest ringtones is that they are recorded using a special technology. They can use louder instruments, as well as special combinations of notes, so that as a result the melody "screams".
Some modern tracks can be made louder by the hardware method. But such methods usually degrade the sound quality. The ringtone gets dirty and too noisy.
Conclusion
As you can see, identifying the loudest phone was not the easiest thing to do. Of the modern models, these are smartphones aimed at audiophiles. Of the long forgotten devices, these are push-button telephones with large convex speakers.
By the way, many so-called babushkophones can also rightfully be called the loudest, because they sometimes give very shrill sounds.
Most modern smartphones, as we have repeatedly noticed in reviews, do not have an outstanding subsystem responsible for sound. “The sound is loud and clear, but dryish and without bass, everything is tolerable in headphones” - 90% of all mobile devices on Android fall under this description. This is not the manufacturers' fault, but rather the limitations of physics. To create a powerful acoustic wave at a low frequency, either a very hard resonator, excited by strong electrical impulses (and then - "goodbye, charge, hello, socket"), or a large speaker is needed. Neither one nor the other, most mobile devices do not.
To somehow stand out against the background of the bulk, smartphone manufacturers focus, if not on frequency diversity, then on sound volume. Miniature DACs and amplifiers allow you to get good sound in headphones (the same Meizu Pro 5 confirms), but physical limitations for speakers cannot be circumvented with their help. Therefore, we have to stand out at least by the fact that the new device does not choke at maximum sound volume.
This collection is dedicated to smartphones with the loudest sound, which are relevant in 2016. Not all of them have been released recently, some have been on the market for a long time, but after all, devices with a high speaker volume do not come out every day. An average mobile phone can produce sound at a volume of up to 75 dB. Devices capable of more and were included in the collection.
In March 2016, the VKworld T3 was released, costing only about $ 80. The manufacturer positions it as an inexpensive, but the loudest smartphone in the world, suitable for listening to music in any conditions.
According to the developers, the smartphone is capable of delivering sound up to 146 dB. Of course, this is not entirely true (such a volume is given by a fighter on takeoff), but it generates 80-90 honest decibels. Compared to competitors, it differs in an enlarged speaker: its area is about five times larger than usual, and the rigidity of the resonator is better.
According to the characteristics of the VKworld T3, nothing stands out. It has a 5-inch HD-resolution 2.5D glass covered screen and MT6735 quad-core processor. RAM 2 GB, storage - 16 GB, there is a slot for microSD. There are two simoks, they work in 3G and 4G. OS VKworld T3 - Android 5.1. The front camera is 2 MP, the back is 8 MP. The battery is quite ordinary, at 2500 mAh.
Marshall London - music for two
In August 2015, Marshall, a company specializing in the production of audio equipment, released the London smartphone, priced at about $ 600. As for a gadget with a budget filling (and it’s just that in it), it’s expensive, but for a Hi-Fi player with phone functions, it’s very affordable.
The manufacturer claims that "this is probably the loudest smartphone", but does not give the volume level in decibels. However, numbers are useless: the device sounds louder than most competitors, and the stereo speakers even cope with bass. Another feature is two headphone ports, on each of them the sound volume is adjusted separately.
The filling of Marshall London is modest, with such characteristics you can find a device for $ 150. A 4.7 "screen with HD resolution and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 processor. 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of permanent memory are also not surprising. I am glad that a memory card slot is available: without it in a smartphone for music lovers, because 10 GB will fit from strength of a dozen or two albums in Loseless. The smartphone works in 3G and 4G networks. It operates under Android 5. The main camera is 8 MP, the front camera is 2 MP. The battery has a capacity of 2500 mAh.
Samsung Galaxy S6 Active - Protected Music
Samsung is releasing protected versions of its flagships for active people. Unfortunately, they are not sold everywhere, but you can buy a smartphone released in June 2015 on global marketplaces for about $ 700. Besides the increased protection, the manufacturer was able to install a more powerful speaker. The volume of its sound reaches 83 dB. This is a lot, considering that a 10 dB increase in the value means a 2-fold increase in volume. The only pity is that the bass is not very good here, and at maximum volume the sound can "cut" the ear a little.
According to the characteristics of the Samsung Galaxy S6 Active, it practically does not lag behind the current flagships. The 5.1-inch AMOLED screen has a resolution of 2560x1440 pixels, the maximum for today, except for the Sony Z5 Premium. The processor is an eight-core Exynos Octa 7420. The amount of RAM is 3 GB, internal memory is 32 GB. It is a pity that there is no memory card slot: those who like to carry their audio collection with them would come in handy.
The smartphone is designed to work with 3G and 4G networks, there is only one SIM card. The OS of the device is Android 5 Lolipop, it is worth waiting for the update to version 6. The main camera is 16 MP, the front camera is 5 MP. The battery has a capacity of "only" 3500 mAh, but it holds up very well, thanks to optimization.
ZTE Axon 7 - flagship with stereo sound
ZTE regularly releases smartphones aimed at the audience of music lovers. In May 2016, the metal flagship ZTE Axon 7 was introduced, with stereo speakers on the front. They are capable of producing loud sound, rich in low frequencies, which is rare for a smartphone. The hardware responsible for sound reproduction is encouraging. The smartphone has a DAC that decodes audio in 32 bits at 192 kHz, Dolby Atmos surround sound is supported. The ZTE Axon 7 is priced at $ 450. 
The device also features a 5.5-inch AMOLED screen with QHD resolution. The chipset of the smartphone is Qualcomm Snapdragon 820. The capacity of the RAM is 4 GB, the built-in memory is 64 GB, there is a slot for a SIM card. So there won't be any problems with a place for music. OS Android 6 is installed on board, there is an update to version 7. Supports two SIM cards, there are 4G networks. The main camera has a resolution of 20 MP, supports OIS, an 8 MP matrix is installed in front. The battery capacity of the ZTE Axon 7 is 3250 mAh.
HighScreen Thunder - Loud budget employee
HighScreen Thunder is a loud smartphone, judging by the name (Thunder - "thunder" from English). This is emphasized by the manufacturer himself on the box, indicating the volume up to 100 dB. In reality, it is slightly lower, but the device is really loud. The musical direction is emphasized by preset wallpapers and a set of ringtones in different styles, including "heavy" ones. Under the cover you can see a large speaker, which is noticeably larger than the standard speakers of smartphones, popularly nicknamed "Nokia". The recommended price of a smartphone for Russia is 10 thousand rubles, or about $ 170. 
The smartphone is equipped with a 5.5-inch IPS screen with HD resolution, which may not seem like enough. The chipset is also budgetary - MediaTek MT6735. Memory RAM - 2 GB, ROM - 16 GB, there is a separate slot for a memory card. SIM card slots - two separate, LTE supported. The main camera has a resolution of 13 MP, the shooting quality is typical for an inexpensive Chinese. A 5 MP matrix is installed in front. The smartphone is equipped with Android 6. The battery capacity is 3500 mAh.
