Loudspeakers – Samsung Galaxy S25
Samsung is off to a strong start this year with its stereo speaker setup on the Galaxy S25 series, which consists of a bottom-firing primary speaker and another speaker housed inside the earpiece. Sound is tuned by AKG and processed with Dolby Atmos, which results in a large detail-packed soundstage.
The S25 Ultra also put out the richest audio in our tests, with deep, thumping bass; clear mids; and crisp highs that don’t distort even at full volume. The S25 and S25+ are in close pursuit, with clear sound quality and a more neutral tuning that suits both music and video. The S25 Edge is a bit leaner sounding than the standard S27, and as such you will get a slightly reduced low-end from them but they still sound nice — especially for gaming.
The volume is good in all three models and you can readily fill up at least a biggish-sounding if not large room without the addition of external speakers. Dolby Atmos profiles allow for customized audio while gaming, watching movies or listening to music. Voice Focus mode is perfect for calls and podcasts, where you want to keep the dialogue crisp and make sure it stands out.
That said, wireless audio is much better now and you can take advantage of Bluetooth 5.4 support with aptX Adaptive, LDAC a long with Samsung’s scalable codec for high-quality streaming as well low-latency streaming.
