High AOP Mic Test?

Apparently the Galaxy S8/8+ will feature a "High AOP Mic that minimizes distortion in noisy environments." (AOP=Acoustic Overload Point). Has anyone seen any videos testing recording in extremely loud environments such as a concert? I've owned the Galaxy S3 and S5 (both were terrible in noisy situations) before switching to the Moto X Pure(which is still pretty bad). Thinking about switching back for the S8 but seems recording in loud areas has not improved much from the S5 to the S7. Curious to know if Sammy has finally squashed the problem since iPhone have always been able to record in loud places and other newer phones like the LG V20 uses 3 AOP mics.

There is a video test on here that happens to be done at a concert.

That's all I have seen so far.
Thanks for the link. Wish person taking the video was closer so I could get a better idea or if they would have taken a video with the S7 to compare it to but oh well. Not being to record at a concert isn't a deal breaker for me it just sucks when other people can record with an iPhone and it sounds perfect and when I've done it on all my other phones it sounds like crap.
