Three microphones and HD voice support make the iPhone 5 the best calling devices from Apple yet
Apple touted not one or two, but three microphones on the new iPhone 5, and said it supports wideband audio, depending on the carrier, which in layman's terms is known as HD voice.

Wideband, or the so-called high-definition voice is a good thing, as it allows for superior clarity and best audio experience in VoIP and calling. It doubles both the sound spectrum width, and the sampling rate, so voices come out exceptionally loud and clear, with a fraction of the bandwidth needed by the traditional solution.

Cupertino said at the announcement that 20 carriers will be supporting this feature when the iPhone 5 appears on their network, so this must be the best phoning device Apple has ever made.

The noise-cancellation is also aided by the three microphones, situated strategically front, back and bottom forming a beam to filter the background noise, and leave only that sweet HD voice sound in your ears. Orange is one of the carriers that has touted its HD voice support for a while now, so have a look at one of their old promo videos below to gauge what's in store with the iPhone 5.

Best iphone yet... best calling device from apple yet.

Did samsung ever did their new galaxy S worse than the older one ?
I expect the new phone be better than their previous one.
So I expect every new Samsung be the best Samsung Galaxy yet.

So why do you have to highlight it so much ?

lol yea i getch ya.. like was the iphone going to get worse or something?

7. E.N. posted on 12 Sep 2012, 18:39

lol, I don't know about that dude. I still think the Galaxy SII was loads better than the Galaxy Nexus

8. Peter27 posted on 12 Sep 2012, 19:16 4

Is galaxy nexus not in different category?

I thought successor to S2 is S3.

That is why the numbering! Or does the numbers stands for something different?

i mean lets be honest.. people are buying more iphones than GSIII's so obviously people buy into that horse crap

I'm not buying into you.

In my opinion, the iPhone is finally worth checking out. The iPhone 4S and previous models all sucked at being phones and excelled at being gadgets. if the claims Apple make are true, then this is a very good option. The iPhone 4S and 4 had decent call quality 7/10 at best. The iPhone 3GS was just pathetic as well as all previous i-Devices.

The 3gs was the ony iPhone worth buying

I agree with Birds.
The only bad thing about this iPhone is really the screen size, and UI/OS (okay and the non expandable memory and mediocre non expandable battery lol)
In all other areas Apple actually excelled and put together a really cutting edge product.
I'm sure the overall quality level of this phone is unmatched.

Daniel p., did u use phone when you wrote title?

10. rusticguy posted on 12 Sep 2012, 22:50 1

It's BS feature. Honestly no one shoiuld be having any Torgasms (Techie Orgasms)over this feature. It's pathetic if techies are now trying to "fish" for features when none can be found and they find this as something to go gaga over.

If the carrier doesn't support the feature, it is as if the feature was not included. Does AT&T support it? VZW? Sprint?

13. wumberpeb posted on 13 Sep 2012, 00:25

Sprint will on their LTE network, as the Evo LTE supported HD Voice out of the box...

Can't wait to hear the difference, should be cool

14. Droid_X_Doug posted on 13 Sep 2012, 00:46

Got to have HD-LTE network available to be able to get the benefit. Other than a few isolated areas, the west coast of the U.S. is not on Sprint's LTE roll-out, with no indication of when it will get Sprint's LTE love.

So is Nokia lumia 920 with 3 microphones

15. rihel_95 posted on 13 Sep 2012, 08:21

I found this to be the 'only' one new feature in iP5

16. Jobes posted on 13 Sep 2012, 17:35

And the Samsung Galaxy S3 is the best "Samsung Galaxy Sx yet!!!"

17. BattleBrat posted on 13 Sep 2012, 23:36 1

Moto phones have had multiple mics since at least the X

19. RyanM4g63 posted on 16 Sep 2012, 09:50

Moto Phones have always had great internal sound/mic quality on any carrier it seems.
