The iPhone has more impressive audio quality than Samsung. But here is the first thing to note down that these phones don’t offer a 3.5mm headphone jack. They just offer a set of stereo speakers and these speakers are good on both of the phones, but not the best in the market. You’ll get some bass from both the smartphones and the vocals become clear.
Both the iPhone and Galaxy have a dual speaker with a main, bottom-firing, and secondary speaker, inserted in the earpiece, but still, there is a difference in audio quality. Playing back music on the galaxy gives decent audio quality but is not impressive, while iPhone back music sounds impressive with a bass.
