In 2023, we reviewed more than 110 phones. One of the tests we run evaluates the quality of your speaker setup. In addition to output quality, we also measure absolute loudness.
Curious as always, we dug into the numbers and present you the Top 15 of the noisiest smartphones of the last year.
Motorola smartphones have a serious presence. As it turns out, the company’s phones are often tuned to volume. Tecno also stands out for having two Phantom phones featured on the list.
It’s important to note that we measure the average volume of the speakers relative to the momentary peak volume. Loudness is measured in LUFS, which is represented as a negative value, so the lower the absolute number, the louder the device.
Just for the hell of it, we also ran a quick query of our database to find the quietest devices we’ve tested throughout 2023. As expected, the list is mostly filled with budget phones, many of which also feature of a single speaker setup. .
Just to be clear, the loudest phone does not mean the phone has the best audio output quality. This is something else entirely. You can find more detailed information about the quality of each of the devices in their respective reviews.
