My 3a XL only seems to have sound out of one of the bottom speakers.
Is this correct or do i need to get it replaced?
If i place my finger over the bottom two speaker holes, i can only feel it out of one.

It has stereo speakers, one is the earpiece, the other is on the bottom right grill. The grill in the bottom left is not a speaker but the microphone for calls. There is another microphone on top, opposite to the headphones jack, probably used for video recording and noise reduction.

Thank you! That is what i thought i just wanted to confirm. I know some phones have dual speakers at the bottom.
The two grills threw me off.
I saw a lot of early articles that stated the stereo speakers were on the bottom. That just added to the confusion too.

I think the speaker holes is only located there. The other parts are just for aesthetic purpose. I can tell that this is the same even on the HTC One as I had the device before I got the the z1 compact. Covering the right part of the speaker of the HTC One also stops the sound from coming out.

My front speaker are much quieter than bottom speaker. Does anyone else have this issue?
It's not an issue, it's how it's supposed to work.
The top speaker is aimed at helping to give more boost and ambiance feedback, not meant to work alone.
It's normal.
The one near ear piece is facing you, while the one near charging port is going out to your right side.
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 please confirm with the issue I'm facing. The up/front speaker on 7T has sound only on right side there is no output on left side of the speaker. Does it consists of mic along with it? Due to which left half is mic and right half is speaker? The lower speaker works perfectly. Please let me know if anyone is aware about it. Thanks in advance
Yes that's true. Apparently there are two speakers. In a calls the left side works( best sound placed ojln right ear).
While playing music the sound comes from the right side of the grill. I tested this by covering the right edge with ky finger
Hi everyone,
I tried a stereo speaker test (youtube) and I hear that the speaker on the bottom is always a bit louder than the one on the top, no matter what volume percentage I am on. It is not really noticeable in everyday use, but I am a bit paranoid if this is normal with the phone.
Could you tell me if this is also the case with your phones as well?
Thank you in advance.
Yes, it is normal on phones with stereo speakers.
That's cos the top one is an earpiece, not actually a speaker while the bottom one is a speaker, it has those little balls in the speaker housing too to boost audio. Checkout one of JerryRigEverything's teardowns if you've never seen that before.
Normal from my OnePlus experience.

Not only OnePlus. Had s10e before and had bottom speaker louder than the top one.
