Will you be playing FLAC through the phone's speakers or connect it to your car or something? I assume you're looking for a phone that supports high-capacity memory cards?

I don't know if it's worth it. Your phone should be a phone first. I wouldn't buy a phone based on FLAC support, but you'll probably have to go with a smartphone that either natively supports FLAC or has an audio app that does.

If you'll be playing music through the phone's speakers, you're wasting your time. If you'll be connecting it to your car or speakers at home, I suppose it's worth it, but an audio-only device would be a better investment.

Unless you're using very nice headphones, you probably won't notice any difference.
