Overview

We put the Samsung Galaxy S22 (Snapdragon) through our rigorous DXOMARK Audio test suite to measure its performance both at recording sound using its built-in microphones, and at playing audio back through its speakers.

The Samsung Galaxy S22 (Snapdragon) achieved a DXOMARK Audio overall score of 71, just like the S22 (Exynos). Because Samsung devices within a series often contain the same audio specifications, and because most of the evaluation results and subscores are so close and within our margin of error, we direct you to the S22 Ultra (Exynos) Audio test results for the full details on the audio performance of the Galaxy S22 (Snapdragon).

Key audio specifications include:

  • Two speakers: top front-firing under screen, bottom side-firing
  • No jack audio output
  • Dolby Atmos tuning
  • Enhanced Bluetooth connection
