Tes Audio Google Pixel 8

Kita sijine Google Pixel 8 liwat test suite SBMARK Audio sing ketat kanggo ngukur kinerja ing loro rekaman swara nggunakake mikropon sing dibangun lan muter audio liwat speaker.
Ing review iki, kita bakal mbedakake cara nindakake ing macem-macem tes lan sawetara kasus panggunaan umum.

Playback

Registration

With a SBMARK Audio score of 140, the Google Pixel 8 delivered excellent performance in our tests and represents a notable improvement over its predecessor, the Pixel 7, from last year, especially in terms of audio playback. The audio quality is also almost at the same level as the flagship Pixel 8 Pro.

Sound performance was good when playing at nominal volume, but our testers observed some compression and distortion at maximum volume. The minimum and maximum volume levels could also have been adjusted better. Overall playback performance was better when gaming, but was almost at the same high level when listening to music or watching videos.

The recording quality was good overall, even when recording loud concerts, with pleasant timbre and good width of the recorded soundstage. However, the effectiveness of the audio zoom function was limited. In our tests, the best results were achieved with the front camera, but recordings from the main camera were very close. Due to mono recording in the recorder app, performance degraded slightly when using Reminders and Office.

In our playback tests, the Pixel 8 delivered fairly good tonal performance. Tonal balance was pleasant, with clear treble and an emphasis on the lower treble. Our testers found the midrange lacked warmth and fullness, but bass performance was decent, with a clear focus on the upper section. However, we observed a significant lack of low-end extension and depth. Dynamics were good, thanks to a firm and precise attack, good bass precision and good punch at nominal volume. That said, both attack and power were compromised by compression at maximum volume.

The built-in speakers created an adequate but not particularly impressive soundstage. It was easy to locate individual sound sources within the scene, and distance rendering was accurate. The balance was well centered and a good depth rendering allowed the perception of distinct planes in the sound stage. Our experts found that the minimum volume setting is too low to listen to highly dynamic content, such as classical music. However, the maximum volume was quite high and the volume steps were evenly distributed. In terms of unwanted audio artefacts, there was excessive compression at maximum volume and both timbre and dynamics were heavily compromised by distortion. On the plus side, our testers didn’t accidentally occlude the speakers with their hands while gaming, thanks to the placement of the speakers on the device.

The timbre of the recording came through with a natural and pleasant tonal balance that was consistent across all test use cases. Treble performance was natural but lacked brightness. The midrange had good clarity but lacked punch and body in the bottom section, which was most noticeable in male vocals. The bass performance was satisfactory overall, but lacked some strength and especially low-end extension. The Pixel 8 performed well in terms of dynamics, with accurate and realistic envelope rendering. However, the attack lacked clarity, particularly with recordings of vocal content where plosives sounded a bit flat. The signal-to-noise ratio was good in all use cases.

The microphones captured a sound scene with good amplitude and good localizability of individual sound sources. The distance performance was satisfactory, although some voices could seem a little too distant. However, when using the recorder app, both amplitude and localizability were limited by mono recordings. During perceptual tests, our experts found that the recordings could have been louder, despite objective measurements showing good results. The microphones were able to capture high SPL sources with only moderate compression, and unwanted artifacts were well under control. Microphone occlusion and finger noise were no issues in our testing, and background performance was good, free of artifacts and with an overall pleasant timbre.
