Some sources says it does, other says it doesnt...
Does it has or not?
Louder or quieter than the Moto X Pure's?
It looks like there are two speakers on the bottom.

Posting on my turbo 2 and it has 1 loud front facing speaker on the bottom front.
There are 2 slots that look like a right left speaker setup but the left one is not a speaker and would guess its a mic
Correct. 1 speaker, not stereo.

Yes. It only has one speaker on the bottom right. It does get fairly loud though. Decent sounding speaker

Then why not throw another speaker in just makes sense to me better audio.

Off the top of my head...
1. Because it adds cost
2. Because almost no one listens to/watches media with the phone in portrait mode anyway, and that is the only time that 2nd speaker would be useful
3. Because you get almost no real stereo separation with a 2nd speaker 1 inch away

THANK YOU!
I thought I had a broken phone until I read this thread. I was playing around with stereo and it came out of one speaker and not the other. Was just out of my 2 weeks too. THANK YOU!

Ummm.... Because the speakers would both be on the bottom front, so the only way you would have stereo sound is if the phone was in portrait orientation. If the phone was in landscape, then both speakers would either be on the right or left therefore not stereo.

Stereo is stereo two speakers is stereo one is mono. Of course if they were at either end it would be better. You can't tell me two speakers wouldn't be better. And it wouldn't cost that much for a small speaker. As it is my only complaint is the volume is lacking on this phone at times.

Look up the definitions of stereo and stereophonic and you'll see your not actually right. Stereophonic sound requires being able to separate the source of the sound - which 2 speakers both on one side does not do. 2 speakers on one side is effectively just dual mono.
No argument that 2 speakers would likely be louder than one, though. Seems loud enough to me as is, but everyone has different needs.
Regardless though, it is a moot point. It has one speaker and will always have one speaker at this point.

My wife called me saying her iPhone headset doesn't work on her new gs3. I haven't had a chance to see her yet. Anyone know if this is true?
More than likely it is. Most iPhone headsets don't work. She doesn't like the included headphones with the gs3?

They are in ear noise cancelling and not safe to use while driving and uncomfortable fit for her ear. The stock iPhone ones are great or she just got used to them. She had the evo4g and they worked great so I know it's ot a droid thing

Aren't ANY headphones in your ear while driving not safe?
There are apparently two kind of wiring in the head phones. All headphone with mic connectors have four terminals, however the order they are wired up is different.
I know this for a fact because my captivate headsets did not work on my Sony X10.
In fact if you try to press and hold the accept call button on the headset while playing music you will realize that they quality of music suddenly improves.
Solution either get some different headset or get http://www.meelec.com/MEE_TRRS_Adapter_for_P_Version_Headphones_p/adptr-trrs-35.htm
The above product worked well from captivate => X10. I probably would in your case too

Absolutely! Came from an HTC ONE and this loud speaker is better. Not as much bass but better to me.

Motorola has always had some of the best speakers in their mobile devices.

Can't hold a candle to the HTC one but it is king when it comes to phones with only one speakers. Moto has always used great speakers in their devices. Now we just need to work on the camera but looking at the camera hardware it should just be a software issue.

Speaker sucks compared to my One. It's loud, but it's definitely not as nice as having two sweet ones pointing straight out from the front of the phone.

Agreed. The speaker is still great on the moto though. And I would take a small speaker with pretty loud and decent quality sound over the extra real estate the speakers on the htc one takes up.

Exactly, don't put two boom speakers on the top and the bottom and make the phone smaller.

I've used many smartphones in my days, but the speaker on the Moto X is by far one of the best I've ever heard. It actually has noticeable bass! And the volume is ridiculously loud. I'll even go as far as to say it bests the HTC One's dual speakers
Yea, the speaker on this phone is a beast... Way way better than my sgs3, that phones speaker doesn't even belong in the same category as the moto x.

It's definitely a good speaker. Gets loud and stays clear.

Open up the EQ settings in Google Play Music and set the speaker EQ (not wired stereo) to Extreme Bass! It sounds best in that mode!
Fair warning guys I was playing music at full volume on my 2 day old x and the speaker blew, no sound at all. Yes its great and loud and I love it but be careful. Unfortunately I love it so much I play at full volume on my new x too

define "blown". a blown speaker can still produce sound but sound distorted. a malfunctioning speaker may not produce sound at all. somehow i doubt the speaker inside the phone can move enough air to actually BLOW.
It definitely does not best the HTC One speakers. Not in dynamic range at least.
Sent from my XT1058 using Tapatalk
Anyone else notice that if you set the phone on the counter, face up, it actually gets louder and clearer due to the curve in the back of the phone. The sound seems to ricochet off the surface the phone is sitting on...when I would set my nexus 4 on a counter it would basically mute the speaker.

So I got my phone a day ago and I was playing with it and decided to watch a YouTube video. Once I started watching it, I noticed it didn't seem like it was in stereo or the sound was off in some way. I tried covering the earpiece speaker and nothing changed as the volume. Weird, so I covered another one, and nothing. Turns out the audio is only coming from one speaker. Is anyone else having this problem or do I have a broken phone?

For me, not really. Asymmetric design (one hole on top and two on bottom) without real reason. Bottom bezel is also too big (to make space for vzw logo I guess), more than enough space for soft buttons.

Are you serious? There are two other speakers and only one works? The same speaker setup (sort of) as the Moto X and only one works?
