Moondrop released the MIAD 01, a 5G smartphone built around high-fidelity audio. It combines a 4.4mm balanced and 3.5mm headphone jack, dual Cirrus Logic DACs, and an independent acoustic circuit with electromagnetic shielding, running Android on a MediaTek Dimensity 7050 processor with 256GB storage and a 5000mAh battery.
The MIAD 01 goes on sale Friday, May 22, 2026. It bypasses Android's sample rate conversion to preserve original audio quality and uses a 6-layer immersion gold printed circuit board in its acoustic module to block interference from 5G radio waves. The phone includes a 6.7-inch flexible OLED display with 120Hz refresh rate and 1920Hz PWM dimming. Storage is 256GB UFS 3.1, expandable via microSD up to 2TB. The 5000mAh battery supports 27 hours of continuous music playback through the balanced output and 33W PD fast charging.
