Recently switched from s24+. Audio from speakers' so bad not sure if it's hardware or software.

Please fix.

This is like 50 to 60% downgrade in audio quality.

Is that with or without a case? Send it back and get another one

I'd definitely call Samsung Support and explain the issue and have them send out a replacement device!

I went back to the store and tested out the audio across different s26... Seems they drastically nerfed audio in s26 lineup. It is not a hardware or software issue. Absolute dog **bleep** of a company Samsung is.
