Issues
Several Samsung Galaxy phones have audio issues, in One UI 4 too!
With the Galaxy S21 series, Samsung kick-started the stable Android 12 update rollout, bringing a revamped UI and a bunch of new features, courtesy of One UI 4.0. While every major software update aims to fix various issues and bugs on Galaxy devices for better UX, the audio-related issues seem to still be unfixed with Samsung One UI 4.
As per a recent report, several Samsung fans have been reporting audio issues on their Galaxy devices. The affected phones are Galaxy Z Fold 3/Z Flip 3, Galaxy S21, Galaxy S20, Galaxy S10, Galaxy A52 5G, and Galaxy Z Fold 2. Though some users claimed that this bug emerged after upgrading to One UI 4.0, while some of them say it was there already.
Consumers reported, the affected device sounds flat and low in quality all day and gets worse while playing games or editing videos with the stock video editor. However, low and mid-range audio frequencies are the most reported audio issue on Galaxy phones, while you can apparently hear with high-quality earphones.
Samsung has not yet acknowledged this issue to date, even there’s no official/moderator reply on a number of user reports and complaints. Some users said to start screen recording to temporarily fix the irritating audio issue, but it makes other indirect issues such as disabling 120fps gaming.
- Some official/unofficial responses recommend a factory reset to fix the bad audio quality issues, but those issues remain unfixed.
Undoubtedly, most of the Galaxy phone users didn’t notice that their device produces low-quality audio while playing games, streaming videos, or other daily routine operations. As the audio issues have been reported by a large number of users, Samsung should investigate and provide a fix for a better user experience.
