I am pretty sure my S22 Ultra sound volume was higher than the S23 Ultra. I have my sound at about 75% and sound is considerably low for everything like YouTube, IHeartRadio, etc. Don't get me wrong, sound is amazing, but not loud enough.
This is very annoying, not enough volume to have a decent speakerphone conversation. I think something is wrong with my unit. What can be done? Can I take it in for a checkup,? I see Samsung lists Best Buy Geek Squad as a certified repair place.
Just upgraded to the s23 ultra from the s21 ultra and the volume for speakers and Bluetooth are way low compared to the s21 ultra any see this and know a fix. Considering returning s23 and going back to s21
The Bluetooth part is fixable, press any of the volume keys, press the settings icon, press the dots, press media volume limit, turn off media volume limit. The speakers are pretty loud, for a CELLPHONE!
Media volume limit is turned off and I had better speaker on multiple other phones. Even adjusted Bluetooth codec settings and volume settings in developer settings and made no difference
Have you gone into sound settings and adjusted the equalizer?
Is dolby Atmos turned on?
I don't have a s21 but the sound on the s23 ultra is very good for a phone.
They changed the speaker setup over the s22 to have better sound. I have not heard anyone complain about the s23 while the s22 ultra sound was definitely not as good.
However, your s21 ultra may just have better speakers but I doubt it is to such a degree that it negates the improvements that the s23 ultra has over your older device. Software updates alone would keep me in the s23u, not to mention a much faster processor, faster ram, faster ufs 4.0 storage, great battery life, s pen, cameras, etc. But your s21 ultra is still an excellent phone. Maybe keep it another year and see what the s24 ultra has to offer.
In my humble and uneducated opinion this s23u is one of the best phones Samsung has made in years.
