It looks like it's time to give up on my rudimentary flip-phone and join the smartphone world. Besides all the usual reasons for needing a smartphone, what finally made my decision is that I need a phone I can actually hear. My hearing isn't great, but the phone certainly doesn't help. I don't have much trouble hearing my wife's smartphone, and she often can't understand speech on mine, even though her hearing is still perfect.
Salespeople in phone stores have told me any smartphone will be an improvement. They say manufacturers don't really want to sell phones that are just phones any more, so they don't put any effort into designing good ones, and if I want decent sound, I need a smartphone. What I'd like to know is whether there is any difference in sound quality between smartphones or they all about the same?
