The Top 5 Music Mobile Phones Of 2015
I am a great lover of music, with a collection that includes
thousands of tracks from scores of artistes. Music on mobile is
something I am particular about in choosing a smartphone for personal
use. If the music reproduction is bland on a smartphone, that device
isn’t for me.
For fellow lovers of music out there, here is a list of the
smartphones that I consider top 5 in music available in the Nigerian
market at the moment.
1. Motorola Nexus 6
Coming up from the rear is the Motorola Nexus 6. This phablet offers
Google’s play Music service along with stereo speakers that deliver very
rich audio. It has no expandable storage though, so you are limited to
your online storage, streaming and the internal storage of 16GB or 32GB
depending on the model you buy.
Price: From N100,000.00 upwards.
2. HTC One M9
HTC has developed a reputation for delivering superb audio both on the
stereo speakers and on earphones. While HTC have no music ecosystem, the
M9’s stellar audio quality and good battery performance mean that you
will enjoy superb music experience on it if you use 3rd party music
services or carry your music on your microSD card.
Price: Around N130,000.00
3. BlackBerry Z30
The BlackBerry Z30 is not marketed as a music device – and that’s a
shame. Why? Its stereo speakers produce top notchtop-notch audio in
terms of both quality and volume. Plus, it has what is close to
legendary battery performance. Listening to music on a long road trip on
this is a delight. Pop in your microSD card with your music files, or
subscribe to a music streaming service and you are good to go. Local
support is available.
Price: Around N56,000.00
4. TECNO Boom J7
Finding a music-dedicated device without breaking the bank is a tough
one to crack. The Boom J7 is the only budget device on this list, and
for good reason. It comes with the Boom Player, TECNO’s own music
ecosystem that allows you to buy and download tracks – along with the
lyrics so you can sing along and learn. You can buy music from earned
points or mobile phone credit, so you’re covered if you don’t have a
credit/debit card or if you’d rather not use one. The J7 comes with a
good Metal Hi-Fi earphone set with noise cancellation and while the
loudspeaker is mono, audio quality and volume are really good. Lastly,
it is a beautiful phone. If you want a good music experience on a
budget, the Boom is where to look. And you get local support and
warranty cover.
Price: Around N20,000.00.
5. Apple iPhone 6
And in the number one spot is the iPhone 6. Apple does music well. From
the iTunes eco-system to the audio reproduction through either earpiece
or mono loudspeaker, the iPhone 6 does music well. To buy or stream
music from the iTunes and Apple Music service, you need to have a
Credit/Debit Card linked to your iTunes account. Thankfully, battery
life is fairly good on this iPhone model. Note though that you are
limited to streaming and internal storage. And don’t forget to be ready
to break the bank if you want one. It is the most expensive smartphone
on this list. Apple finally has local support in Nigeria, so if
something goes wrong with your expensive baby, you are not quite on your
own as it used to be.
Price: From N145,000.00 upwards.
