Experts have named the loudest smartphones of 2021

The GSMArena publication, which publishes reviews on various equipment, and has been testing smartphone speakers since 2020, prepared unusual top new products of 2021. The goal was to choose not even the devices with the best acoustics, but the loudest models.

When compiling the rating, not the peak volume was taken into account, but the maximum average during the playback of the same tracks. For comparison, the unit of loudness LUFS was used - the closer the value is to zero, the louder the smartphone.

1. ZTE nubia Red Magic 6 (-21.4 LUFS)
2. Infinix Note 11 Pro (-23.0 LUFS)
3. Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G (-23.6 LUFS)
4. Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE (-23.6 LUFS)
5. Asus ROG Phone 5 (-24.0 LUFS)
6. Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max (-24.0 LUFS)
7. OnePlus 9 Pro (-24.1 LUFS)
8. Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite (-24.2 LUFS)
9. Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra (-24.3 LUFS)
10. OnePlus Nord 2 5G (-24.3 LUFS)

On rating page you can listen to the playback recording of seven test tracks on each of the ten devices. GSMArena does not mention which number of devices the winners were selected from, but the publication publishes at least 10 smartphone reviews every month. each of which goes through a speaker test, so that the total number of investigated new products in 2021 obviously passed the mark of a hundred.
