hello freinds,
i've been reading a lot about the desire and i decided to buy one.
one thing that i can't find an answer to , is how about the call quality and the earpiece volume.
i work in the most noisy place the you can imagine, and now i own pro2 and it's really really great.
so comparing to pro2 , how's the earpiece volume??
and how's the sound quality in general
please advice
thanks a lot
i didnt have a Pro 2,
But in Comparison to my N97, the Call Quality seems to drop a little from my Nokia,
Nothing Major, But from the moment i put that phone down to picking this one up i noticed,
now when i listen its crystal clear,
The sound that comes from the speakers is good, but its too loud for the speakers and you get that horrible noise when you have the phone on Full Volume,
Leave it down by one and your OK,
Mic i find was good my GF said she could hear me very clear,
All in All Very good Hope it helps a little
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 Honor 8'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!
Speaker is surprisingly loud, and at max volume, does not distort.
No distortion at maximum level what so ever, and it is quite loud. I can hear cleary while driving if I have music going through over the road noises. In my bedroom the quality is great, can hear my phone blasting from downstair.

That's great, most phones have distortion at max level. It seems huawei knew the sweet spot of speakers volume.
Speaker is not as good as the one in the Honor 7. Audio quality by headphone is awful.
It matters a lot if youre music maniac. I listen to music almost everytime. So its important to me that even if I play the song on speakers, it doesnt distort on high volumes.

I've read so much negativity about the speaker I was expecting to be really disappointed. It's actually not that bad at all. I'm happy with it.

The volume on the front firing Nexus 6P speakers are much louder. Just got the Honor 8 today but the volume is a bit weak for my taste, for the rest its a great device (besides eMUI).

For me personally, it is loud enough. And I do not have any knowledge on the loudness of 6P.

Bass is so critical for me, but since I don't use loud speakers can you tell how is music through headphones?!
Thank you for your comments regarding the Honor 8's speakerphone. When you are playing back music or using the speakerphone, you can increase the volume by pressing the volume up button. Please try playing a loud ringtone to test whether there is a problem with the audio source. If there is, it is recommended that you change to a different music file then try again. If the problem persists after the steps detailed above, please back up important data and take the receipt issued with your phone to an authorized Huawei service center for repair or call into our customer service team at +1-844-524-6667 and they can try to help fix your issue with the speakerphones volume. We will forward your information to the product development team for them to review and analyze. We appreciate the feedback. (NS)
Clear sound from the speaker, loud enough too. I only use the speaker to listen to youtube clips so the lack of bass is really no problem, after all how can a small phone produce bass anyway....if i want better quality i just use my headphones.
Loud enough for me personally. I still haven't received B131 so I know that's went to improve quality, but it's no replacement for front firing speakers.
Basically, I'd advise you use proper speakers!
speakers get loud enough to listen to music in a big room

So from the video it's hard to hear which speaker but you can easily hear the change. Basically what's happening is when listening to music or watching a video audio comes through both speakers. However, when you get a notification all audio stops briefly while it switches to just the bottom speaker, and then stops briefly again to switch back to both speakers. Once it switches to the bottom speaker it gets quieter and audio sounds noticably worse. And if you get multiple notifications at just the right intervals it creates a very choppy listening experience. I don't know if this is intentional or not but I find it very annoying and it makes it feel like the speakers were and afterthought. Also, why do speakerphone calls still come out of the bottom speaker? Why does it not do both like music or videos?
If someone created stereo alert sounds, would it maybe be an easy fix for the contrast in volume and mono source? Basically be a less stark a contrast? Same sound through both speakers on top of the music in the background.
Totally different topic, but somewhat related - I was going through online reviews today and I think a CNET video mentioned that someone determined the top speaker is tuned to 10 db less than the bottom. They basically ran left the same sound through the "left" speaker and then right. And by using another phone and a decibel meter app showed the top is quieter. Then they said something like when the engineers were tuning the audio, when both were balanced, there was distortion from the top speaker. But when both were balanced, but low enough that there was no distortion, it was too quiet. So they chose to go lower on top and higher on the bottom to have a better overall volume, without distortion. I wasn't listening so close so didn't catch if that was speculation on why or someone divulged that.
I searched later and couldn't find the original source, so it might be something someone just noticed.
Speakerphone coming through the bottom speaker is so some dumbass hole won't have it on speaker phone and hold it to their ear and get blasted in their ear and then try to sue Google

Bwahahahahaha...Very Nice!
I watch a lot of videos on YouTube of people reviewing things, and I noticed that voices sound louder and clearer through the bottom speaker, is this problem specific to my pixel 2 xl or do any of you have the same issue?

It is not specific to your phone.

Also the the top speaker is off when you receive a phone call( ringtone) and you will enable the speaker during a conversation. Why??

If I'm not mistaken, that goes back to before smartphones. Way back, there was a phone model that used the ear speaker for the ring and it was really loud. Actually rings in general used to be much louder than now, though there was a separate speaker for sound on most phones. There was some issue where people were trying to talk and having it ring right in their ear. I can't recall the exact issue, other than it was in the media.
So basically, they don't use the ear speaker for the ring so that people don't get a loud ring while they have their ear up to that speaker.

With my Nexus 6 this was not the case.. and I believe that it is very easy for a smartphone to understand and shift to the bottom one when you talk one the phone.
Well it isn't a legal requirement, just a design practice. Doesn't surprise me that a Chinese company would decide to do things differently. Proximity sensors weren't on phones until fairly recently.
It's weird as the quitet speaker on my device is the one below the navigation bar.
Can anyone who actually used this phone report on call quality of this G40? How is clarity and volume of earpiece? How speakerphone? Microphone quality for the other party? Network reception?
all things good just update the software to fix touch issue and clarity good for speaker all the things good.

All good
Don't worry
Moto is not like some brands who cripple proximity sensors or sound quality through update
