Hi guys, can someone provide a little review of the speakers? Curious how the perform. I see it has dual speakers, do they sound balanced? Bassy or tinny? How is sound effected when it's on charge, given the usb port is the speaker!
Cheers

Speakers sound good, i feel the bass in them..But not the loudest.. With the charger in it just sounds a bit muffled but its not bad
i would like to know how loud sound in headphones is> huawei phones normally fall short in loudness in heaphones
I would like to know how is it compared to Samsung Galaxy S9+ or Note 9. Does it have Dolby Atmos settings?

Yes it does have Dolby Atmos as does the p20 and p20 pro.
I'm more interested in the headphone output where Huawei phones are normally dire.
But as it uses usb-C, the right sound quality should lie in the interested dac on the headphones, that also goes for usb to headphone jack, it lies in the dongles dac.
I use with the USB-C dongle and Sennheiser HD 4.30G, the sound is very powerful.
My Mate 20 Pro shows a crackling symptomatic whenever i do sth. that would emit a sound.
Even with the speaker disabled (vol. on 0)!
How-To:
1) Get in a quiet location & Turn down the media volume to 0 (mute)
2) Open any audio playing app (Telegram, Whatsapp, Spotify, Youtube etc.)
3) Press your ear against the USB-C charging port (if you hear some faint whitenoise coming out of it, wait until its gone. If you dont hear anything continue with 4)
4) With the phone still muted perform an action that would trigger a sound from within the application (play video / music, or send a message)
5) You should hear an audible *POP* sound coming from the speakers.
// If you cant hear it try this:
A) Get an audio file between 50-100hz and play this after you completed steps 1-3
(I tried toggling mono sound too)
If you still didnt hear anything i need to RMA my unit :S
Expected behaviour:
- The audioIC should not power up if the volume is 0.
- No crackling on normal audio playback.
Kind regards
Although the speaker is inside the USB C Charging port, it's still outputting loud and clear noise. Definitely can distinguish if you're listening to a song and then you put in the charging cable, however it's one of those things where if you started the song with the charging cable plugged in, then you wouldn't notice a difference unless you were severely autistic.
Overall, very nice speakerphone but not perfect. Would have preferred the speaker grill.
Only just picked up the device today after letting family member use my p20 pro... Yup it's all clear and doesn't sound too tinny but only gripe is the volume feels like it's a bit low even at max.. quality is pretty good and on par with majority if not better In my opinion that is..
gsmarena review is up, speakers are up to no good compared to the likes of Samsung and Apple quality

Hi,
can anybody say anything about the audio quality with decent headphones? I have pretty good Shure headphones, which don't work very well with my current phone, which is one of the reasons I consider buying the U8800. I'd change my mind if I knew the quality was bad.
So, how are the quality overall and how loud does it get (I usually don't listen very loudly).
Thanks!
I can't make comaparisons with other smartphones and in the month I have had the IDEOS X5 I find the sound quality pretty good through the headphones.
I've used different headphones that I have lying around. All were better than the headphones that came with the phone.
At home I use an old Koss full padded headphones that I normally use on the PC or when watching TV late at night. (It has a very long cable). I find the qality pretty good, warm bass without it being too punchy.
I also bought a set of cheap (AUD$3.50) stereo headphones from e-bay. The sound was crisp, perhaps a little too much treble but you can balance it out depending on the music app you use.
I recently bought a Sony Bluetooth stereo MW600 headset which work nicely with the IDEOS X5 using the stock music player. Sound is clear and well balanced.
Neither of these are very loud but I've had it turn it down a little depending on the outside noise level.
Having said all that there is a huge difference to sound quality depending on the type of bit rate used on the MP3's. The higher the bit rate the better the sound quality and volume...but I think that goes without saying but music listeners possibly don't allow for the quality of the re-encoding.
AND...the quality of audio is about 100 x better than through the speakers
The sound quality is bad. The bass is good but it also "spreads" out and muffles other sounds so it all sounds hazy. My PC/cowon I7 does not suffer from this.
The headphones I use daily are IE7's. Shure SE420 also sounded hazy with U8800. Tested with FLAC and MP3's with similar results on both.
Thanks for your answers.
Varatesh: Considering what high quality earphones you use, I guess your expectations might be somewhat higher than mine.
Sadly I don't know own anybody withe an U8800 so I can't test the audio quality and it's rarely tested in reviews, so no "objective" info there.

I don't now if I help w/ my case:
I only use the U8800 heaphones/mic and I must not change because the pinout is different (begining by the point):
Sound.L/Sound.R/Mic/Ground.
The others like Samsung, LG, etc. the pinout is:
Sound.L/Sound.R/Ground/Mic.
If we chage it the sound is bad because it return by Mic, not by ground. And the Mic also work bad.
That's interesting, ValenteL. So that means it would be possible to solder an adapter? It's just a matter of switching two channels.

Helo
It's possible. For music only, no problem, I use one w/ 3 contacts.
W/ Mic I encountered only one same the U8800, is the ZTE Blade one.
Cumps.
Using ideos x5 + poweramp (it uses ffmpeg's codecs = better quality than the stock android codecs) + sony mw600 = eargasm.
Deep bass, rich high's and great fidelity, even on low bit rate HEAAC files. Although one thing to note, i had problems and dropouts using by bluetooth handset over a2dp with the stock froyo roms. That problem vanished as soon as i moved to the 2.3.5 roms floating around here (My personal favorite is MIUI and i'm waiting for an official cm7 nightly )
I'm not an audiophile or something - i wouldn't use my smartphone for music if i was one - but for the price tag and the hardware we get, music quality is superb, especially compared to the crappy sound output my previous htc wildfire had.

Sound is normal but you always can hear empty noise..the current noise.. there is no silence when there is no audio (yes it shuts down audio after 5secs of no audio) but it always have noise if you listen at more then 25% of volume then you will not hear it but if you listen at night you can clearly hear it.

I agree with this. It's very apparent when listening to audiobooks, not a big problem with music though.
I can confirm the "current" noise too....

ive heard that all honor phones have less audio output via aux!! don't know about v10.. maybe due to AI processor it might be better..
Yeah i would like to know about it. Sending back an honor 8 pro mainly because of the low quality audio (in my opinion).
I have bought V10. Audio not great but just okish for casual listening. So does other phones in same price category. I may buy portable external dac/amp . That's the right way to get good audio
Is it loud from the bottom speakers like mi A1?
Could you please check eith that

Yes. It's a bit more bassy for my taste. It's like boomy. So i enabled histen audio and reduced bass under Equalizer
am a basshead and used iphone 6 , mi note 4 & lg g3 before. v10 with sony xb950bt. bt music sounds gr8. with the wire and histen non 3d mode it better. I also use a eq app which works with bt. checked new gen dj songs, bollywood numbers, mj, floyd etc and its good. no distortion but yes bassy. u wont get iphone level clarity but its not also not mi note 4 or 7x ish
The loudspeaker is so low and awful in this phone.it's fluctating and buggy, but with earbuds and headphones it is perfect and bassy.

Friend I am also with this problem my BKL-L09 is with the bug in the sound that gets so low that it is very difficult to listen in videos or calls I am in version 8.0.0.130 c432. Did you have any solutions?
For me loud enough as I don't use speaker much for music but when I do, it does normal as I know I am using phone and not the woofer.

The audio quality is fine here. It gets plenty loud, but you will hear some distortion at max volume.

Unfortunately P20 doesn't have stereo speaker like Pro version and sound is just standard and average and nothing special.
Unfortunately i didnt know about it before i got my phone ;_; this suck. Mono speaker is terrible

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.

OK, Great tip. Xaomi phones are great, no doubt but am yet to try one.
I wish stereo speakers. But 0 comments about this.
probably it will have like htc( bottom speaker in tandem with the ear speaker, this has been the case for mi6 and mix 2s)
I expect speakers to be good, no Headphone-Jack = more space for speakers.
Mi8 speaker is mono
I will pass
No buy
1. Source?
2. Mono can Sound good also.

Sorry but this information not rt
It has only bottom speaker
I tried it
The term dual speaker is coined because there is actually two speaker grills at the bottom much like one plus one. But if it have stereo speakers or mono speaker is unknown. The other speaker grill might be just a vent.
Mono-Speaker confirmed (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3H_-zbnTEC8 from minute 10 [german]). Seems to have good quality tho.
Second grill is for microphone.

Two grill at the bottom area is more as aesthetic design. It consist one speaker and the other one is microphone. So it is mono speaker. I use stereo speaker on google pixel 2xl but not that much different though... I guess Mi 8 still has good quality speaker even in mono.
I just got my mi 8 and compared to the Samsung Note 4 I've been using the past couple of years.. it's definitely a downgrade. Sound isn't as clear and it tends to go silent (?) at times.

YOU JUST SAYING IS VERY BAD ?
I SEE THE GERMAN REVIEW IS VERY NICE MONO SOUND FOR THIS PRICE OF PHONE
It's not, it's not that bad like the OP6 but some 100-200$ devices are much better.
Louder than Mi6 but it's trash for a >350€ device.
i'll come back to give my comment when i got my phone next week
It is on the low side. Can't hear if it's noisy like at a train station. Wonder if there is an app that will increase the volume.
After a month with this phone and tried some roms, this speaker is, to put it mildly, quite bad. As someone said, 'flagship my ass..'.
Ring call distorts, volume is low.. and equalization is **** like a bad radio.
I found a way to make it sound better. PowerAmp app has a good equaliser and I have managed to adjust for a quite better sound.
I have tried installing magisk Ainur and Viper'sAudio modules on Sphynx kernel to implement system-wide but I haven't managed to make them work.
I have succeeded installing VIPER4Android FX latest version 2.7.0.0 and it makes a difference over default speaker sound. It doesn't require root or custom kernel, and it installs as an apk file. it doesn't need custom recovery or Audio Modification Library.
Available for download at https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/com.pittvandewitt.viperfx
It needs root. Additionally I installed it as a system app as I feel it may need high privileges.
It has a useful 'Playback Gain Control' and 'Speaker Optimization' that upgrades the speaker sound, as well as headphones/usb.
I am happier with the sound now, and so far it doesn't distort ringtone or call quality. It improves on youtube and whatsapp sound.
Recommended.

For me the sound is excellent for being a mobile phone, have not tested all phones that claims to have great sound so cannot compare, but to me this phone has great quality and can play loud. The stereo speakers really help!
Excellent
Sound is the best with great clarity and good bass, especially when you hold the phone in landscape the soun9 funnels straight toward you like front firing speakers. Love Dolby atmos
THIS has to be my first mobile device with the loudest speakers! It's like all my phones in the last 5 years all played at the same time. Awesome!
Best speakers of any mobile phone thus far, hands down the best, the sound quality is loud & crisp & clear, pure excellence !

Outstanding, the best in-phone stereo speaker system I've ever heard. Dolby Atmos demos unbelievably good. Makes my Mate 20 Pro sound sad by comparison, unfortunately ?
I agree with the views above, the great loudspeakers and Dolby Atmos was one of the reasons for choosing the Mate 20 X. Not just for music, videos and games, but also for using it as a speakerphone for conference calls at work.

It really works thx!
The stereo speaker setup was one of my top criteria in favour of this phone and it hasn't failed to deliver so far.
Only Hawei has the balls to bring out bigger phones with dual speakerphone. I still can't believe it's true and to own the Mate 20X. The best 200 bucks extra spent ever instead of going for the regular Mate 20. The OLED is beautiful too! You can hear the voices and background so clear. You can try to lay it against a cushion to have more better sound. The phone is is big enough to watch content on it with the stereo speakerphone.
have anyone noticed a decreased overall sound volume after the 9.1 update ?

question about PUBG, do you get directional audio. Like i'm coming from Oneplus 5t, then Mi 9, both of which have single speakers by stock. and single speaker is very hard to play pubg with except if i have earphones. But does the mate 20 x give good enough directional audio to where you can play it without earphones?
Because for example, on Mi 9 and OP5t, even if i turn the earpiece into a secondary speaker, it's usually much quieter than the one at the bottom and hence can't be used for directional audio. And in Mi 9, earpiece is too quiet and the audio is literally just mono channel but sent out through two speakers. So both speakers always play the same thing, not true stereo. I wonder if that's the case with Mate 20 x or are there 2 seperate channels allowing for directional audio.

after the 9.1 update the sound became high and for ur question the answer is yes
when using its dual speaker u can identify from where the foot came either from right or left and even if it above u
Huawei doing excellent work n the dual speaker
Better than my Honor Note 10 with Dual Speakers
