Speakerphone (loudness, clarity)

[XDA_RealLifeReview]

Proper etiquette aside (hint: don't use speakerphone while doing your "business" in a public bathroom), rate this thread to express how you think the Samsung Galaxy S21 / S21+ / S21 Ultra's speakerphone performs. A higher rating indicates that you love it: it's loud and it's clear.

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Seems loud enough and clear to my middle aged ear.

I can resume it as vibrant. Best stereo speakers I had on a phone.

In my opinion, placing the speaker in the middle of the smartphone is a good solution for music but bad for talking because I hear high-frequency noises like crackling and rustling. I would like a tunable or adaptive (maybe AI) low pass filter for conversation. I can turn on the low pass filter with hearing aid support but it cuts the high frequencies a lot. I would like to improve the compressor so that there is no cracking when audio overloading.
