I recently bought the z5c and am really loving the overall experience.
Except I noticed the speakers sounds a little different. The top speaker has more bass and sounds wider while the bottom speaker is tinny sounding and sounds closed.
Both speakers have identical volume though...
Is it just me or does everyone have this problem/feature?

Can anyone who's used it comment on speaker performance? I love everything else but lack of stereo speakers disappoints.

I can't comment on the quality of the speaker as I don't have the phone yet but it does seem sort of short-sighted on LG's part. For me it's not a deal breaker as the headphones are more important. However with a conscious effort to consider sound quality, you would think they would want to jump on board with the idea of stereo front facing speakers.
I think that having stereo speakers would increase the bezel. I'd rather have thin bezel than front facing stereo speakers. Having the speaker on the bottom is perfect for me as on the back the volume is greatly reduced when the phone is sitting on a table (missed some morning alarms this way).
Hello,
Has anyone experienced any issues with the upper earphone speaker, the sound is bad compared to any other mobile phones.
I have manually tested receiver with the *#808#(Oxygen's built in testing app) and it sounds just OK, but when calling someone, the person on the other side sounds just BAD.
I wonder if this is a network, oxygen OS issue or did I just get a bad upper speaker?
I don't know if this is related but I also have issues with both the mic and the speaker. When I call people they sound quite tinny, and to them there's a slight echo when I speak along with a tinny sound too.
I've seen on the Oneplus forums that's there might be a fix for this and it has to do with the noise cancellation feature, but no one seems 100% sure as to how to fix. There are two fixes going round with mixed results for everyone.
EDIT: Typo & formatting
definitely bad quality ear piece speakers.
We can increase the volume by editing mixer_paths.xml but that highlights the quality problem even more...
I guess we are slowly starting to realize why oneplus is selling phones at amazing price.
the nickname of this phone should be "jerky" and not onyx.
Speakers: upper one next to frontcam has more "loudness" than lower one on music
Sorry for my englsih,
seems that the upper speaker has more loudness/bass than the lower one.
Not that it is much louder but it sounds "fuller", the lower one a bit thinner.
Are there minimal differneces between the speakers as the upper one is the one for phone calls and a kind of "primary" maybe?
Have no compare device so I just liked to ask here.
Thx
I experience this on my z5 E6653, but assumed it was because the bottom speaker is in a different position internally because the micro USB has to be able to fit.

Well, been searching for a teardown too and it looked like different speakers, not that good to view, but maybe.
Anyway, since that it is "no stereo" stereo?
There's another thread on here somewhere about this. Most people were reporting there top speaker being louder. My bottom one is a bit louder. There is an xposed module that adjusts stereo volume by channel so if you're rooted there is hope.
Well its not louder, its "fatter" volume, more bass.
Store told me thats fine as only the upper one is made for bass, so they should be both at same volume, mine are, but the one next to USB sounds thinner at same volume.
So all fine with that as long as they are equal loud.
Anyone else find that the speaker on the Moto Z to be awful at loud volumes? Mine is tingy, muffled and just distorted at high volumes. Even when talking on the phone.

Mine is okay. It certainly isn't great at load volumes, but I guess that's to be expected by a combined ear piece/mono speaker. It isn't worse than my OPO for sure. The sound isn't distorted on high volumes tho, it just sounds a bit worse than on lower volumes
Mine also has the cracking sound a few months after I purchased my phone.
What I did was to CLEAN the speaker with a cloth (something that can get inside the mouth, a bit damp).
My speaker was covered with DUST and this caused the cracking sound.
After thoroughly cleaning it, my phone sounds better now (the crackling noise was ALMOST gone).
Hi. I have a question regarding the sound/stereo/atmos quality on the S23 Ultra. I have noticed that when turning the phone sideways the sound is much louder from the bottom side of the screen. I used the codes to test the sound and bottom and top speakers work, but top is a lot softer then the bottom. I do understand that the opening for the speaker on the top is a lot smaller. Almost the same as S22U. On my S22U I got a lot better atmos experience than on the S23U. A lot more left and right audio seperation/stereo and atmos effect. I have also noticed that when holding the phone normal the sound is stronger from the bottom. If I close the speaker grill I can still barely hear the top speaker. I have enabled and disabled atmos and tried every setting, but there is almost zero difference....I basically hear only "mono" if that makes any sense. Anyone else have something similar or is there a setting/config I'm missing or that I can try?
Samsung has given the audio department a massive upgrade for the S23 compared with S22 or the S21. Compared with S21U, the 23U is a sea of change. I'm unsure how you can achieve atmos on such tiny speakers mostly firing forward! Yes, the top speaker is quieter than the bottom one but isn't that the case generally with most dual speakers on the latest devices?
On the S22U you would get a stereo/atmos effect when turning the phone sideways. Not huge, but definitely noticeable. On the s23u for me the sound comes through as mono, because the bottom speaker is so much louder, there is no separation between top and bottom. I know on the phone the atmos effect won't be as strong, but having equal level of sound between the 2 speakers would be nice and that is not what I'm getting

Now that you have put it that way, I need to test this out. But I'm not sure that I would notice the atmos effect much!
It's not so much the atmos effect, it's more that the sound comes mainly from the bottom speaker when playing music etc. Playing the 2 phones side by side, I can hear the difference from a mile... The s23u does sound a bit louder than the s22u, but the stereo effect is better on the s22u. Definitely better separation on s22u
I don't get the atmos . I was under impression atmos is a registered processing coding that can take what ever sound channel input and simulate more channel.
In example : give a atmos no-channel-defined audio source, and the receiver will output 6ch (5.1), so all your PHYSICAL speaker can play different sound to have the surround effect.
Atmos can simulate up to 128 channels.
so no matter how many speaker, and what height, it can simulate the right sound to the right speaker.
Not so sure if it's been developed to simulate the opposite ; surround over 2 speakers (on same height and close distance) based on a multi-channel atmos source...
You can achieve something very similar with stereo X (mixing few frequencies of both channel so the sound seems to come from a bigger room)
Anyway, S23 U I like the speaker at the bottom , since I can ear the phone ringing while walking, this compensate for the weak haptic feedback.
I tried the Pixel 4a, and damn for a budget phone is very close to the S23U.

I got stereo sounds blasting from both speakers simultaneously, obviously more on the bottom given the much space when its sideways. It's like sounds move like a little bubble in a level tube prioritizing whichever position (speaker) you place it over the other (speaker) and balances when horizontal. Its subtle but its there.
It doesn't sound mono on my end. I ramped all the frequencies to the max. Typically the same experience I got on my previous S22U but way better on S23U. Maybe you should try that option as well. Also, I use Poweramp equalizer if that helps.

I will try poweramp for music as I'm using stock samsung music currently and see if it makes a difference
