The speakers are incredible! Surprised by how small and still powerful a speaker could be. At first look you are hoing to think "they probably suck!" but very soon you find out they are very bassy and clear
Much better than the Sony Z3 and surprisingly loud and clear.

OMG its so night and day. I used to have to embarrassingly ask people to speak up because my phone has volume issues. The G5 speakerphone and earpiece volume is refreshing. LOL
i'm glad they did not hop onto the water proof hype train.
even though you will hear some noise when you listen to stuff on max volume this speaker is performing insanely well.
sadly in gaming i tend to close the holes with my hand. i guess there will be upcoming modules that will boost the speaker even further.. keep in mind the speaker is part of the modules.
Very happy with the speaker as well. I'm surprised by how rich the sound is. This definitely isn't your average phone speaker.
Very happy with the speaker and speakerphone.
It vibrated in louder settings and made it feel very cheap I'm disappointed with LG with this! The whole chin chamber rattled. Volume and sound though was very good.
Its pretty good but at loud volume it does vibrate,

Love the phone, but it vibrates at high volume. It's a bit like holding a jar full of angry wasps.
However I've now put the phone in a bumper case, and it's much much better..
I didn't think my G5 would have such a great speaker, but man I was pleasantly surprised. The speaker is both loud AND clear.
Agreed, really loud and nice.
i come from z5c and i miss its sound. maybe less strong but my g5 above half volume bar does vibrate and thus generating a loud noise. maybe a fault with my magic slot?
The the quality rocks compared to my S7. Don't expect wonders but i was really surprised.
Even better with Viper4Android.
When using youtube, anything below 50% is hardly audible. Is it just me or others are also experiencing such problem?

Yeah i think thats true . But the phone gets really loud from step to step in the last volume steps . Loud enough . I compared it to my old Note 4 with Volume boost and it was noticable louder . So i am really satisfied .
One of the best single speakers in a phone.
Is it significantly louder than the Galaxy S7? How's it compare to the LG G4?
I went from an LG G4 (which has an amazing speaker) to the Galaxy S7 and everything about the phone has been a disappointment. I'm returning it and gonna get the LG G5. Does it have any bootloop issues? That's why I'm in this situation of choosing a new phone in the first place, and why I didn't go to straight to the G5. I dare say the G4 was better than this S7 (before it bootlooped...). Didn't realize Samsung took out the IR sensor or had such a **** speaker. Also didn't realize just how dependent I have become on having a removable battery. Speaker is important because I watch Netflix and Amazon Prime in bed with my fan on.
I barely use my loudspeaker but it already sounds blown out at 75% not happy at all.

The front facing dual speakerphones are amazing. They can be very loud, more than any other phone I've encountered, and it's a great quality (for a phone and even more). But, I found that the atmos equalizer actually makes the sound quieter and less clear. Ironic.
How is viper4android on the axon 7. Does it make it better
It would make the internal speakers and bluetooth better but probably break support on the DAC for the 3.5mm jack.
I'm really shocked by this, as my Axon 7 is one of the worst speakerphones I've ever used. people sound fine to me, but almost without fail, people I call have difficulty hearing me. Doesn't matter if they are on the same carrier, a different one, or even a landline.
celticchrys, have you tried to walk around other place, I guess it's the place that block your signal. Or you can reset your phone.
Maybe because the speakers are good, you could be too far from the mic?
I don't find it that loud on speakerphone but on GPS it's quite loud. The sound quality is good.

It seems to happen whether I'm at home, work, or in the car. It happens on stock and on Lineage OS. Therefore, I've always assumed low quality microphone. It happened on my first Axon 7 (a gold one), and also on the current one (a grey one), which was a warranty replacement device, when the first one got broken.
Sound on GPS is good, seems GPS lady is murmuring sweet nothings in my ear ?

7/10
It's louder then the s7 edge for sure. I will put it up there with the iPhone 6s plus. Not as loud as the nexus 6p but it's good considering its waterproof.
I think it's almost exactly the same as my old note 5, it might distort a little more than my note 5 but it's louder at the highest setting. Dropping the volumne down 1 notch fixed the distortion
Here's a video

Worse than my Note5 for sure. Less bass. I put them side by side snd streamed the same music. Quite disappointed. Also in thr phone appnthere no more sound 'boost'.

Agreed with above. Step down from my note 5. Notification sounds are distorted.
Better than my previous Note 4 that's for sure.
This could be more the placement of speaker (bottom, not back) but overall sounds much better to me.
I can go lower and louder with the note 7. A bit of distortion on the highest volume. Still better than the note 4.
Not that great. Sound is tinny like the device is underwater. Sound is definitely not as crisp as say a nexus 6p or a htc 10. It's disappointing, yet somehow passable.
To put it simply:
Its terrible, my note 4 sounds way better and the nexus 6P just kills it completely.
I expected it somewhat due to the waterproofing but a $1200 (Canadian) device should have a far better speaker than this.
I am debating returning it because it sounds so bad.

It's the same issue as the S7's .. waterproofing makes the speaker sound like crap. Not much that can be done about that. Only time I use the external speaker is when I'm on conf. calls and to lazy to break out my ERA. The waterproofing is a much better feature in my opinion that blasting out folks around me.
All as well as to be expected from Waterproof

Owning the HTC M7 with Stereo Speakers then to the Xperia Ultra Z with Waterproof Mono Speaker.
I can clearly say that's it's a 8/10 for me. Loud, clear, not best sounding but kind of hard to achieve this through a sealed port.
Easy tradeoff any day, I use bluetooth speakers for this purpose. It's almost as loud as the HTC as max but way better sounding and volume length then the Xperia Ultra.
Haven't received mine yet, out of waterproofing it I still think that this choice of placement for speaker is VR headset sound direction related.
As everything is cluttered at the bottom might not be as good as my note 4 or else but I dont mind, bluetooth work i assume...
I'm coming from the M8, so I'm setting myself up for disappointment. However it's not that bad. the M8 was easily a 10/10, and this i'd say is about a 6 or a 7 in overall quality.
It needs to be louder, much louder. In a medium noise level environment I can barely hear the speakers when they're at full blast. The quality is pretty good when you can hear it though.
No aptX support...
Outside of wanting it to be just slightly louder, it is extremely crystal clear, sounds great, and is absolutely much better than most critics make it sound.
The speaker is not as good as my N4. The N4 was louder and being on the back it reflected off a hard surface better enhancing the sound/loudness even more. The N7 on the bottom is a downgrade IMHO. But it still isn't terrible. I gave it a 4 star rating. I have definitely had phones that were worse. The fact that this phone is waterproof makes up for the speaker being a little lower quality in sound than the N4 was. So overall still an upgrade IMHO.
Coming from a Nexus 6P, the Note 7's speaker is terrible.

I think it is one of the better mono speakers out there - quite loud and full (better than S7e). With the speaker mod, it would be a blast!

If it sounds better than the S7s then they must be absolutely awful..
Out of all the devices I have owned the note 7 has the worst speaker for sure.
Other than poor volume when watching you tube videos even ones recorded outside peoples voices sound like they are in a tin can...
Love everything else about the hardware but the speaker has no place on a flagship device of this level.

What did you say?
Sounds like me and my wife. Thanks for commenting - I'm looking into a new phone, and appreciate hearing this. Seems like all everyone wants to talk about are the camera, videos, speed, how good it looks, etc. Reviews leave out how well it works as a phone.
See gsmarena review on loudspeaker
The sound seems perfect
It's the best and clearest speakerphone I have used. I even use it in my car in preference over the factory hands-free.
Played music using my S8 Active (assuming they are alike) next to iPhone X, the loud speaker of the iPhone X was way better.
Can't say is perfect. As ex user, of htc phones with boomsound, this speaker sounds like a joke to me, sorry but I had to say it. I also read that, the speaker is ****ty and will continue to be with the next flagships because it's hard to make good speaker with water resistance. So we have to deal with it. Also depends how you hold the phone, for example when I play games I don't have any sound because of the way I hold the phone hand is always on the speaker and I can't hear a single sound.
My iPhone 6 had better sound. S8 sounds small and tinny.
Try these settings and tell me if you like them more. Volume is decreased but sound quality is miles better in my opinion.
any idea what is the RMS rating of the speakers? will the S9 be better?
i don't think its very loud at all
Hey guys! Does anybody get any crackles or rattling at max volume when listening to a podcast or when using the speaker during a call?
awesome work
My experience with the speaker is different contrary to what most people on YouTube says. My S8+ sounds pretty audible even in relatively crowded places, sometimes I even had to lower the volume. Clarity is acceptable too. But it's not the best speaker by any means, just isn't as bad as what people says. Mine's Exynos variant.
Hii
Thanks!
My speaker seems clear but I do prefer the stereo speakers on s9

Yes i have same issue my laud speaker sounds crackle when i listen to ws vns, or watching youtube videos were people are talking.
My speaker is.. different than 99% of the answers.
Mine is actually amazing. Bass response is there, treble, mids, and it's pretty loud too.

Personally, I don't like it.
It definitely has better clarity than before, but there's something about it that's off.... Maybe it's the Dolby Atmos working, i'm still playing around with it, trying to figure out if its marketing bull**** or something that's actually nice to have. For now, I like my old S8 speaker more
moved for S7, better sound quality, using FB messenger people said that they can hear me much more better
I finally understood what's been bothering me about the speakers. While my previous phones all used the speaker on the bottom of the phone only, S20 uses that and also the ear speaker on top. They're not exactly the same obviously, so the music sounds just a bit off (at least to me). But hey, at least it's stereo
Love it!
Absolutely love the speaker phone. Call clarity is much better. coming from s10+ and I believe there is a great improvement!
Its worse than S10+, the audio from earpiece speaker is tinny/buzzing if some sound like piano is played.
S20 speaker

I Agree. The best speaker according to experience is S10 5g. S20 speaker and battery sucks. I wanna go back to s10 5g.
Yup, the battery backup is very bad. I regret switching from my iPhone 11 to this thing. Waiting eagerly for iPhone 12 to launch and then will sell the s20 ultra quick. I hate the speakers of this phone.
I like it a lot. I'm a smartphones reseller. Every week a new device is in my hands. Compared with iPhone 11 Pro Max i rather like more s20 plus sound. I don't know if it's only me but sound ou Pixel 4 seems better tham avery other device I've tested.
