Thats odd. The audio sounds great on my phone. Its loud as ever. As long as the camera is great thats my main concern.

You should have mentioned audio in the thread title. I clicked in here thinking it was for the camera.

To clarify that is a pretty good score for audio, best Samsung phone yet and only behind a few phones. Only 1 point higher than the pixel 4, which I don't agree with as the audio is much better in my opinion there, but not as good as iPhone 11 Pro.

That would depend on what you are defining as audio. The S20 Ultra speaker phone is louder than the 11 Pro....I'm not positive about the sound itself and I don't listen to music that way. If you are using Bluetooth, Android 8.0 and newer supports Sony's LDAC protocol which is as close as you can get wired sound on Bluetooth at the moment. Of course that's limited to certain Sony products. I haven't tried wired on the 11 Pro but the S20 Ultra with Dolby Atmos enabled is spectacular.

I was referring to audio as sound from the speakers in the phone, Ie watching video, speaker phone, games, etc. And was just my opinion on what sounds better to me.

Could be it that it does sound better. The S20 is louder but louder isn't always better though it might be preferred by some.

Flipboard app is a news aggregation app. If you are a fan of it and how it lays out your news, then you can basically search "Samsung Galaxy" and then you'll see a #Samsung Galaxy feed you can subscribe to you. Pulls everything Samsung Galaxy related from all over into one feed.

Years ago I use to use a news app called Zite which I felt was better but Flipboard bought them and kinda intergrated some things from them so I've gotten use to it. UI is ok on my Note but for me, it still runs best on tablet its more laid out magazine style and I'll sit in my fav chair at home flipping through pages of articles on my iPad Pro like it was a magazine.

Audio from the G20 is alright. With Dolby Atmos it gets a little better for sure... But for serious audiophiles, a wired headphones pair with a external dac is the way to go. One can easily bump that score to 10 with the right equipment.
