Is it possible for the Sprint Galaxy SIII to have HD Voice?

[chappo2000]

Hey....

 

 

Reading this article got me thinking....I could have sworn that the Galaxy SIII for Sprint was missing HD Voice, unlike the EVO LTE. Is this true? Is it technically possible to Sprint to "enable" it via a software update? Or would it require hardware that the Sprint variant of the SIII simply doesn't possess?

 

Thanks for any information....

I guess it would depend on the audio chipset between the two handsets. I seem to remember that HD voice required a certain audio codec and if the hardware doesn't support the codec, then I don't think it will happen.

What exactly does HD voice give you? I currently can call the office and almost always figure out who is answering the phone. What more do we really need?

At the NYC event, I tested it and the call quality was superb. Noise cancellation at its best. Super clear call, But if I remember correctly it could only be used between two EVO LTE devices.

Kinda like going from a 32kbps MP3 to a 256kbps MP3. Not the real numbers but you get the drift. Or another example, going from cell phone to cell phone call then calling the same person on Skype to skype. Huge difference.

To the end user, the biggest difference effected by HD Voice is extended frequency response (i.e. higher highs, lower lows). To CDMA1X, though, HD Voice is just EVRC-NW, which is just another max 8 kbps variable rate codec.

So does this mean it will eventually not require any special hardware?

From what I've read... The GS3 Does support it. Almost all LTE device will. Its being use in Korea now. Verizon also has it coming very soon.

Separate and less important, but has anyone messed with the in call eq settings ? Any feedback on different settings impacting clarity or natural sound?

Try the Barry White setting. It is definitely superior to the Fran Drescher setting.
