Comparing it to my edge+, less loud, less clear.

It's a solid 7.5
The speaker is crap

Perhaps because of the water proof properties of the phone?

Not necessarily..
The Xperia Z line of phones were water resistant, and they had speakers that were fine. Granted, they were low in volume (max volume wasn't very high really..), but they sounded very nice.

I'd say that the volume is fine but it's not the best quality. I'm quite fussy with speakers as I listen to many podcasts via the speaker. I'm reasonably happy. Better than Z5, worse than 6P.
hows it compared to s6 edge??

Am using the s7 edge exynos and comparing to my s6 edge plus...They both are loud
In terms of clarity however, the s6 edge beats the s7 edge. I think this is due to the water resistant material used in the s7 edge
Judging coming from an S6 edge to S7 edge.
Headphones, the S6 edge was louder and clearer.
Speaker, S6 edge is much better. Luckily I barely use the speaker.
Bluetooth, loudness and quality is the same.
I haven't tried Adapt Sound yet on the S7 edge, as I did with the S6 edge. Maybe that would make a difference once I do.
When play music or video in high volume , Speaker was distortion.
Quite weak: low sound level and avergage souynd quality.
I am geting buz
Few day back I am getting a small buz noise can any one had idea about that
Night and day coming from an m9. Samsung needs to step up their game.
The quality of the speaker is not the best , but it's OK. I got used to it, and I like how level of loudness - S7 Edge is louder than my previous phone - Sony Xperia Z2.
S7 Edge loudspeaker volume is soft or low
Loud Speaker is a bit disappointing. Even the volume is 100%, the sound is bit low. Hopefully an updated ROM will help to resolve the issue. Nevertheless, this is a great, superb phone.
Mine's loud, and the quality is fine (for a phone). I haven't noticed any distortions or anything, so I'm starting to wonder what the hell you people are doing with your phones. I can hear it when it's ringing and I have no issues with clarity or volume when I watch videos.
I have the Exynos version (gold), built on March 15th (in Vietnam).
+ 1 Mine is also very loud. I have had many phones HTC 7, 8 LG 2,3,4 Galaxy S3,S5,S6 Note 3 and 5. This may not be as clean as the HTC's but it is louder. I'd say its a toss up in loudness vs the LG's. LG G4 may have been a tad louder. What separates this phone from the rest (other than note 5) is the volume booster option when using speakerphone (very handy for the work I do). Very happy with volume and quality of sound. Probably hands down best phone I have ever owned and can't believe I am saying that without root. If the screen were flat it would be the perfect phone for me, but its close enough.
I have the gold verizon version SD820 built in Korea
[Exynos] I think the headphone quality is quite good (barely, if even, noticeable change from s6 edge), speaker is not as good Im afraid, probably has to do with the waterproof mesh inside.
It's a phone speaker, and it's good for what it is. People are claiming it's bad, but I don't know what they're using it for, audiophile engineering maybe?
If you want proper sound get a pair of decent headphones. Make no mistake tho, the speaker on this is more then decent in terms of loudness and "clarity".

just got mine today, speaker is very good its loud and clear with little to no distortion
Much better than other phones I've experienced by far. Sounds clear without rattling speaker sounds when high.
Great speaker. It's not as fantastic with music with lower tones, but for voices it is very clear which is fine since that's pretty much all I use my speaker for is for Lynda.com videos (tutorials) and speaker phone. Speech come through clear enough to hear across the room on loud. Speaker could get a bit louder (I've heard louder), but it's not as quiet as some other devices I've had. It's high end is plenty loud for me given I have sensitive ears when it comes to higher tones and noise.
Surprisingly it does not interfere with phone calls and everyone is happy about how well they can hear me when I call.
Odd speaker location
While the speaker is pretty clear and loud I don't like the location at all. If you turn your phone sideways for games or movies your hand ?️ sits right over the speaker. Very annoying if you sit your phone on your thumbs with pointer fingers going up.
It's decent
Good in sound quality..
When compared with other smartphones in the same price range this smartphones sound quality is better..
Its clear and loud
The loudspeaker is pretty decent doesn't make strange sound on full volume while my Redmi 4x volume is too low as compare to G6
As far as I'm concerned, the speaker volume is the worst part of this device. I have to set volume to the max to get a decent sounding ringtone. It's very clear and has great quality, but it's just too weak.
One of the loudest speakerphone having mobile phone.
I am so impressed with its performance.
I am coming from Nexus 5X.
Coming form iP6S+ and because of that I'm disappointed. Almost no low tones. It seems like it's good for voice, but not for music
Almost great
The speaker gets quite loud, with no distortion, the quality is kind of mediocre, the position is not a problem, at least for me
I know this thread is for the speakerphone but posting this here since there isn't a thread for the audio jack quality.
Has anyone noticed something weird about the 75 point volume adjustment when headphones are connected? It feels like 50 is the real max volume of the phone. From 50-75 it sounds like all the phone does is limit the audio to get more perceived "loudness". (google up audio limiting) This is more apparent in Hi-Fi tracks because of the greater dynamic range to limit and increase loudness, but for normal mp3s with its limited range, there is practically not much of a difference in actual volume levels to me between 50 and 75.
Is it just me or does anyone else feel like this?

Xperia is a Japanese phone made for the Japan market. Speakers on Xperia are softer because they aren't typically used. In Japan, people don't use their phone speakers. No speaker phone in public ever.. and on the trains, always headphones.
So, sales of Sony's good headphones are more important than phone speakers.
Xperia Compact is marketed directly to young professional women and busy moms in Japan,
and available as a carrier exclusive through DoCoMo.
This dictates everything from design and form to color etc.
Even with sound mods the speakers are sub par.
I've used much worse. Better than the likes of the galaxy s7. Far better than LG G3. Nowhere near as good as HTC or newer iPhones
For a bit of increased speaker volume on the Xperia X Compact, do the following: Settings app/Sound/Audio settings/Sound effects(make sure certain other options are disabled in order to access Sound effects)/Equalizer/
Set all 5 equalizer band controls to maximum. Back out of Settings app. This setting provides a noticeable increase in overall sound volume.
Other options for louder volume with certain types of media: A number of apps have a built-in pre-gain control, such as Music Folder Player and Podcast Addict. These provide a significant volume boost without a high risk of damaging speakers (as long as you're careful).

I will rate the speakerphone only 3* because this device could have easily had stereo speakers for its size and bezels and it doesn't.
My Mi A1 bottom speaker has a hissing sound when producing sound at the lowest volume when you are in a quite room. Anyone has this?
You have to place the your ear to the speaker at the lowest volume when playing sound to reproduce the issue.
It's like a problem it cannot produce low volume.

Just noticed this and yes, I have it too and I suspect this issue to be present on all of the other devices.
As much as I like and love the sound of the Mi A1, this issue is there with the bottom speaker. although I hardly use the speaker on low volumes, I use headphones for that purpose, had no issue so far with them on Mi A1. well looks like Xiaomi's side effect for boosting the sound on the bottom speakers too much. I am sure that this is a software issue and need minor tinkering, I just hope they don't mess up the great loud output just because this little annoying problem. Can they? Will they?

Simple choice in sound options "loud output vs quality in low volume" would be OK with me, I use low volume most of the time.
And yes, the hissing (both speaker and headphones) do exist and it is a problem.
Sound and volume OK.
Location is somewhat unhandy...
hand frequently covers the speaker completely when holding the phone in landscape.
yeah, is true the speaker have hissing sound at very low volume!
at normal/high volume sound is nice and no hissing sound, or at least, not audible.
Anyway i never use the speaker so low so for me the quality is very good.
about hissing sound using headphones. i have 2 headphones, cip one, from others old phones and no hissing sound even at lowest volume.
about this hissing sound, is a new bug from oreo? or was also in naugat? is a software issue or a hardware issue? will be fixed?
I think Mi A1 sound a little bit horrible compare to RN4x... RN4x has better sound wih viper4android. I've setting viper4android on Mi A1 but not find best sound with viper4android. Mi A1 crisp sound to high compare to RN4x.

I think they're quite amazing. I'm coming from a Pixel 2 XL and these are significantly louder and more clear. There is also WAY less distortion and rattle at full volume. Bass is punchy for its size, and the rest of the frequency range sounds pretty balanced. Also note that I'm coming from the Pixel 2 XL, to the smaller pixel 4 and it's performing way better. Even though both speakers aren't front facing anymore it still sounds better.
Here to confirm it is stereo earpiece and bottom firing speakers together. Reviews did not mention if the earpiece acted as a speaker, and I was worried it would be stereo bottom firing only, a-la pixel 1. Fortunately that is not the case!

In my case what noticed is that I can hear voices much more clearly vs Pixel 2
So maybe they tuned them to sound better on the High frequency.
Let's face it... nobody should use a phone as a speaker regularly.
Now to watch series or YouTube video is really important the audio. And I'm enjoying much more the YouTube videos now because I can hear them without raising a lot the volume

Coming from a 7 Pro the earpiece speaker is considerably louder. I think the "Dolby" tuning by Oneplus might give a little better spatial separation but I am very pleased with the audio quality of my P4.
Came from an LG G7, which was touted for its speaker's loudness and fidelity. I can say, without a doubt, that this sounds much better. It sounds warmer, fuller, and can get louder without distorting or sounding overly sharp. Pleasantly surprised, to be quite honest.
First time I've heard the Pixel 4 speakers was impressed how good they sound: full, bassy, quality.

I agree fully with this. I too came from a Pixel 2 XL and while I was initially bracing for a downgrade in speaker performance, due to lack of dual front firing speakers and speaker size, I was completely blown away by the audio performance of the Pixel 4. It is an improvement in every way possible from my 2 XL. Where it shines the most for me is clarity at high volumes. My 2 XL would break up pretty badly at above 70% volume and sound pretty trashy but my Pixel 4 can keep it's sound integrity pretty held together even up at volumes in excess of 90%. All in all, I love this phone.
