I'm very interested in this as I'm considering replacing my Pixel 2 XL and the speakers on the Pixel kind of suck.
If you feel the Pixel 2 speakers are bad you will not like the OP6 for sure, they are mono and they are horrible at loud volumes.. I am surprised you dont like the Pixel 2 speakers because they have the best ones out of the premium manufacturers
To me, the OnePlus 3 to 5T have always had amazing speakers for what they are. If you compare it to similar setups it blows everything out of the water. It's punchy and clear until you hit around 90% volume. Let's hope the OP6 stays the same.
Reviews about op6 speakers have not been good. Some reviewers told that the only weakness op6 has is its speakers. Maybe because of using some thin protective layer to prevent water from going inside.

Well yeah, when comparing to my old 3T, it's somewhat worse. Like you said, propably because of those protective layers for water.
Do you guys also have cracking on loud volume? To be honest I'm very disappointed with this speaker, however I'm not sure if I have faulty device or it just is how it is

Than you never have a phone with good speaker. OP3 was crap, compare to other phones like Mate 9 oder 10.

Um, no. My OP5 has punchy and sustained bass without distortion (until you turn the volume up to max, the sound profile changes at 90% volume to deliver louder tones, thus also distorting slightly), but at 80% it still manages to be much louder than any other phone with a similar speaker arrangement. The speaker has good bass and perfect mids.
It's a similar experience to one of those LG phones with the "1W speaker driver". I like the speaker for what it is.
bluetooth speakers placed strategically around the house
problem solved.
i think it is low. My oneplus 5 was recently stolen and that is why i ended up buying the 6. First think i noticed when playing the audio was how low the volume was. My roommates have the 5 and 5T and i played the a video in fb app in 5,5T and 6 and 5 and 5T was louder than the 6. FYI, 5 and 5T runs on the xxx no limits ROM.
So i am not sure if that is affecting the audio in anyway
For a single speaker set-up, it's good clarity and loudness.
When compared to my previous Galaxy Note 5 with the same set-up, it's garbage. Maybe my device is faulty, I don't know...
It's ok. Really wished they have front facing speaker in the notch
Compared with the my Mate 10 Pro it is really awful. Way more distortion, no depth, no stereo.

That's useful to know - don't want to derail the thread but how do they compare otherwise to you? Moved to Mate 10 Pro from Oneplus One and loving the battery and speakers, but half considering trading it in for a OP6 because of various software glitches (particularly bluetooth issues) - especially now Huawei are locking bootloaders so that future support is likely to be limited.
Quality is pretty awful but it's loud enough. I gave it 3 stars because it serves its purpose. I do listen to music through the speaker a lot so it's kind of disappointing but I'll take a crap speaker and a lot of good features over all the crap wrong with my last phone.

I'm personally glad they save the money on stupid stuff I don't care for. Maybe other people have different preferences but I want my money in the camera, display, build quality, and firmware support.
I'd much rather they save money on stuff I don't have to use like the speaker phone (buy a cheap bluetooth speaker, it's 10x better than any integrated speaker in even the $1100 flagships), stupid gimmicks like edge display that I believe samsung has now abandoned, etc. No big loss to me. This phone is awesome.
Dude, there is no great display, no great camera and no good speaker. Maybe for a 300$ device but not for a flagship!
Anyway... in this thread we talk about speaker and even Redmi 3 Pro speaker (100$ device and years ago) sound better than this one.
It sound cheap and this is it. It's for sure not good and even not OK, because it's loud and this is it.
To say "it's good" means you have no other devices to compare this.

I think unless you have dual front-facing speakers like on HTC phones or the Nexus 6, you have to keep your expectations in check when it comes to speakerphone loudness and clarity. But I must say that the Note5's speakerphone gets extremely loud, however at the very highest registers of volume, it distorts a little. However, I don't even need to jack up the volume that high because it's so loud at medium settings.

Its not very loud. Really need to crank it up. And the equalizer sucks too. Bass gets distorted and treble is given more prominence.
Comparing the Note 5 speaker to the Note 4 speaker....In the brief time I did was kind of let down a bit. Though I feel I need more time to make a final decision
The Note 4 was really loud. And despite what people claim not that bad either. Supposedly rated 82-85DB
The Note 5 moved from the 1 watt speaker to a 1.2 watt speaker and dropped the volume down to whats I believe measured 72-75DB. Yet it didn't sound that much better to me in fidelity or bass.
---------- Post added at 11:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:12 AM ----------
Since I still have my Samsung Omnia HD from early 2009 I can't understand how Samsung dropped to quieter single speakers after that when it head some of if not the best speakers back then.
And it took til around the S4 or so to make it to acceptable performance. And since then the Note 4 did great.....But here we are almost 7 years later and still only single speaker and with more powerful speaker than the Note 4 is quieter and not much better sounding....
Why??????
Just put the Galaxy Beam "projector phon which I also have" but make it 60-100 lumen laser, the Zoom "their 10x optical zoom lens phone" into the Note. Give it a larger camera sensor, huge battery, and no less than 4 speakers. A physical keyboard wouldn't hurt.

If they are giving speakers, they might as well match it with the other flagship phones to atleast stay in completion.
Even the headphone output is really low. My Oneplus One and Xiaomi Mi4 had amazing headphones output compared to what I am getting on my Note 5. Samsung can easily improve it by modifying the software. Hope they make it better in the next updates.

The audio DAC in the Exynos devices, especially that of the S6/Note 5 means business. Samsung's ability to deliver on it....Not so much. It's one area where they seem to be way less knowledgable and need to figure it out or mature up and ask for help/hire someone that can do the job. Camera, display, SoC, features are class leading. Audio hardware top notch....But audio software...terrible?? No. It's quality is among the better and volume is ok for stock...But very held back.

Ahh, the small kink in this MASSIVE armor of this juggernote phone. The speaker is not awful, it's loud enough it's clarity is ok but I thought for this high end device, it could be better. I try not to use the speaker unless I have to. Most of the time, I have bluetooth headset on or bluetooth in the car going through the speakers. But honestly, who really usses speaker phone now adays? unless you have an older car that does not have bluebooth connectivity. It's a deal breaker for me, the speaker quality is good enough. Snapchat, messenger video and google hangouts video speaker quality and loudness is just above average. Better off using a bluetooth headset, bluetooth in car or wired headset. Not awful, but not excellent either.
I have not found any reviews on audio quality. I only use the flac format for my audio collection so it would be nice if the mate 9 delivers good quality output.
Any ideas, links to specific audio reviews?
There was one review on YouTube that mention the audio quality of the mate 9 but as far as I know there is no significant improvement from the mate 8 which produced excellent clarity and lowest noise.
I'm pretty sure that they upgraded the dac

That's seriously **** if audio's important. For me it is so now what...
What makes it worse is the LC V20 will come to Europe in midget form. Sheit!!
However, going back to the extensive gsmarena test:
Audio output is solid
When plugged into an active external amplifier, the Huawei Mate 9 posted excellent scores top to bottom, hinting at perfectly accurate audio reproduction. Its loudness was just above average so no real reasons for complaining here.
Headphones only cause a small drop in volume so it’s only average and a contained hike in stereo crosstalk. Overall the output remains very clear and while it’s not quite the best performer out there the Mate 9 certainly won’t let you down in any significant way.
http://www.gsmarena.com/huawei_mate_9-review-1520p7.php
Let me tell you that it wouldn't replace my external DAC/AMP. Mate 9 is a very good sounding compared to current competition. I wished if they could integrated a branded dac. The phone simply excels in every other aspect.
I think V20 is still the best in headphone quality as a stand alone. I haven't tested the V20 but I guess the specs say it all ?

Exactly what I was going to say, GSMArena made a deep test and the audio part seems "decent", which for me is more than enough. If you really care about audio, maybe LG V20 or Axon 7 would be the way to go.

I saw that as well, but I have read some other reviews and the say that audio is pretty good, and stereo sound is as well.
Is the only review that says that audio is crap on Mate 9, besides is known that PocketNow, The Verge and BGR are Apple fans. If it's not Apple, is not good enough.

"The Mate 9's audio capabilities are equally beefy — up to a point. The phone combines a rear-firing loudspeaker with the main earpiece in a dual-speaker setup, similar to the HTC 10 or Huawei P9 Plus. At max volume level, the output is louder than you'd ever want it to be, which is great if you're showing someone a video in a crowded bar. But above around 50 percent volume, playback becomes increasingly tinny, with some distortion creeping in.
Fortunately, we've found that wired audio output is excellent with this phone. The 3.5mm jack (yep, it has one of those) is capable of driving demanding studio headphones with just as much power as the HTC 10."

i test with my pi audio mr2
it still carry the huawei signature sound
-full body
-bassy but not bloated
-frontal vocal
-kinda remind me of what makes fiio x5 different than x3
my only complaint:
-theres lack of decay or reverbation.for example, snare drum or any hollow instrument doesnt sound as hollow as it should
like many review such as gmarena said; its no dap replacement, but its one of the best offered by smartphone
lg v10 or v20 might be better
and imo, dap like fiio x3 sound better
According to this review, the Mate 9 is at the bottom of the barrel for flagship devices:
I mean for most people it will be good enough but no DAC/amp replacement. It won't be able to drive demanding headphones. One thing that I can say is that the measurements made by the reviewer does not match what the audio codec in the Kirin 960 is capable of. So unless there is a hardware bottleneck somewhere it would be possible to improve it through software if Huawei wanted to. High performance audio usually results in higher power consumption so the current state of the audio quality might be a compromise between performance and battery life.

Hi,
I have owned lots of phones. Speaker quality/volume for podcasts and audiobooks is important to me. I thought the M9 and M10 were too quiet and prefer raw volume over pure quality if it's a straight fight. Things like the iPhone 7+, Pixel XL are fine for me.
From what I hear the U Ultra isn't loud and is a further regression over the M10? Is this true? It would be a EU model live in UK) if that changes equation at all.
Thanks!

I have yet to make a comparison between different phones but so far it has been loud and clear. Although I have to say that it's disappointing compared to built-in BoomSound speakers from past HTCs in terms of quality..

Hey mate,
not sure where you heard that from, The U Ultra is louder than the 10 and the Pixel XL, easily. I have all 3. Also the quality is on par with 10 and miles ahead of pixel XL.
U Ultra is definitely louder and clearer than HTC 10.
Thanks all for feedback. It's £650 in the U.K. Which is really expensive. Hopeful for some kind of drop/offer but unlikely to happen before S8 etc launches I guess..?

Dont Buy an S8.. if you use the live speakers for PodCasts and audiobooks, youll be disappointed.. as Samsung, like SONY cover their speakers with a waterproofing giving it a thin, reedy cheap sound,
even if Sammy do use Wolfsonn DACs for their Pre-amp headphone stage, the waterproofing kills the live speaker

Had some time with note 8 display unit in Samsung store. I liked everything, but the external speaker. It is too high pitched, making listening to it a discomfort. I had the same issue with Note 7.

I'm using a 6P right now but will preorder the Note 8 when it will be available in my country.
I'm afraid of the speaker quality on the Note 8 because it's so frickin' good on the 6P.
Had some more time with note 8 display units in Samsung store. I was surprised to find out that equalizer settings were applicable to the external speaker sound. For some reason I had been thinking that those settings are for earphones only.
So I reduced the high frequencies and that's it, the sound became much more better without causing discomfort for the hearing. For those who will find volume level low, you can boost all frequencies and get much louder sound.
Finally I made my pre-order for a black 64 GB unit.

What about the clarity and crispness of sound? Samsung aren't known for.producing good sound even their TVs speakers are poor.
After using Axon 7 and nexus 6p I've got used to good loud clear speakers, this is my major concern with note 8.
For music it's miles away from iPhone 7 (not Plus, I have the "small" one) but not in the good way, it has smaller amount of bass and is more high pitched. I use my phone to play some music in a dinner room or in the bathroom so this is kind of disadvantage on Note 8 side.
Don't have any comparison on calling loudness and clarity but for music... it's shame that Sammy didn't make a stereo setup like Apple did with iPhone 7 which helped a lot.

You're saying you'd be glad to give up your headphone jack for dual speakers?
Honestly, Samsung should've followed Sony, HTC, or other phone companies that enabled speaker output from the earpiece alongside with the main speaker.
Lol hell no, I am not saying this. I am talking about the dual speaker setup you mentioned also.
Absence of jack is different story, maybe even fairy tail of greedy king who wanted to make all customers to buy wireless headphones which are expensive and most of them sh**ty af. Don't worry, that's what I hate about iPhone 7 the most from the start.
Coming from a 6P using Arise, in comparison, the Note 8 speaker is horrible.
Maybe I need to get acclimated to it, but I can hardly hear my alerts and texts as they come in. With notifications volume cranked to 11, switching ringtones in an area where a conversations happening, I really can't hear the tones. It sucks to be honest.
It's not a deal breaker but if I miss to many texts it could be. My 6p speakers are freaking amazing....Almost as amazing as the screen on my Note 8!
The speakers poor quality is absolutely the only thing on this device that I am not happy with

It's not as bad as I guess I made it out to be but it's not an impressive speaker. However this phone is so bad ass that a little less volume is tolerable. I'm so impressed with everything else on it, I feel like an idiot for complaining that the one speaker isn't as loud as my 6p's 2!

I think we would need root for mods like that.. I don't want to root... I wish we could do that. It kills me that I was comparing my S8 to my Note 8 yesterday and I then realized how much louder and still clear the S8 was over the Note 8. Now the size of it in my pocket and the dismal speaker loudness are the 2 things making me want to go back to the S8 until the S9.... I've only got 6 days to make my move..... Anyone else know of anything that can be done to boost external volume??

This works without root!!! Speaker Booster from the play store:

For me it's sufficient. If I want more I hook it up to my jbl charge 3.
Sound coming out of the single speaker is kind of thin but clear and loud enough for talking head videos and games. Bass is almost completely lacking, but hey... Use headphones for music.
Loud enough, but muffled sound (low clarity). The Honor 10 even with single grill has better clarity in my opinion. The only real downside of P20 sadly.
I have to disagree with everyone here and say I believe the speaker to be very good. I've owned all the latest flagships including P20 pro, s9, iPhone X, one plus 6.
The speaker in my opinion is very good for a single speaker. It's as loud if not louder than many and the depth and range of sound is good .
Obviously stereo speakers would be nice but this does not do bad for a single speaker.

Do you suppose that I have a defective phone since even without comparison to another phone (such as the Honor 10), I can tell the speaker sounds relatively unclear and muffled, especially in low-medium volume.
