The speaker is front facing. That's better than most phones alone. It's plenty loud. It's a smooth mono (not stereo) sound, so it's NOT tinny at all. In fact it has some rich depth. You can wash dishes and hear whatever you're listening.
Doesn't it sound bad when the sound has more intensity? To me, it sounds as a blown speaker.
It is loud, but even the ringtone comes bad. Only for me? I noticed this problem when choosing the ringtone on the first time. I have only 4 days of use till now.
i've never set the speaker on loudest because i'm afraid to blow them,
they seem to have the ability to go REALLY loud as even having them in MIDDLE VOLUME CAPACITY is plenty loud for me
i think the tones (or bass?) sounded a bit weird at first,
but i got used to it and love the speakers now!!!
I'm slightly disappointed beceause a lot of websites reported this phone had stereo speakers,
but from what i reecently gathered this phone probably has mono speakers?
i'm sure there's better speakers out there, but these sound pretty good i think

It can't be stereo as it only have one output for sound! Maybe a concept version had another speaker, but configuration changed on the final product.
After some time, the speaker got better to me, pretty crazy. Like a speaker burn to get a better bass

I got mine last week and couldn't stand the speakers. I thought it was an issue with my device and returned it to get a new one... I really hope the second unit doesn't have the same problem, although to be honest after reading your comment I am not so positive about it anymore.
Should have saved some more money and gotten that iPhone 8...
Moto X4 Speaker Sound is Very Low Compared to Its Siblings...?
Playing a ringtone is good, but the first 0,5sec very low - even if the volume set to max

Almost all Motorola phone have this dumb problem. I found a fix for the Moto x pure using cm back in the day. I'll need to search my old posts from basically there is a etc folder that you delete (with root) and after rebooting the problem is gone. Made the Moto x pure actually usable. Until I realized the battery was a complete joke. (Like 3-4 hours usage Max)
looking back, I feel the quality of this speaker should have been better for the Price.
but w/e. I just ordered an Anker Soundcore Nano. This tiny thing is really cheap (€15 incl. shipping) ,
supposedly only weighs 80grams & will beat the built in speaker from even the most expensive phone today by far.
The speaker is kind of quiet compared to the G4 Plus. The Notification/Alarm ascending ringtone is annoying but can be disabled:
Modify the file
Code:
/system/vendor/etc/audio_ext_spkr.conf
under the "ring" and "media" sub-groups, modify the "attenuation" param from the default value to
Code:
0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
.
I get cracking sound when turn on loudest volume in a call. Who is get it? And is it normal?
Grandpa is 100 years old (honestly) and being a man who still wants to keep with the times, the Moto X4 is his first smartphone. The speakerphone was the selling point since he is a bit hard of hearing (understandably) and he needed a phone that could be as loud as he needed it to be. The normal speakers at MAX volume are almost enough for him to hear it on his own, but the speakerphone pushes it to where he needs it.
My only suggestion is that you root and move away from Motorola's stock ROM. Motorola has a software glitch in their stock ROM, which causes the volume to sometimes (at random) not to properly function (you'll have your volume on MAX, but for unknown reasons, it will be quiet sometimes when you take or make a call). Motorola has patched, unpatched, and repatched this issue (meaning they've fixed it with an update, then broke it again, then fixed it again) and this seems to be a pattern with them. As a result, I found using a different ROM (not the stock ROM) resolves this issue once and for all.
That said, obviously, the speaker is good enough for a 100-year-old, senior, Grandpa to hear. I think that speaks for itself.
Coming from a Moto Z2 Force and Axon 7, these speakers are terrible. They are the quality we had 10 years ago. I managed to solve this problem with VIPER4Android FX. Turning on extra loud (up to +6) and speaker optimization seemed to fix any complaints I had. Speakers sound great, but if you push them they can start cracking. I think I found the perfect balance. Idk how people are saying it can be too loud, mine was too quiet.
In short, speakers are terrible without software modifications. Then they are just fine.

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
Tested in store

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

Audio output thru speakerphone when doing video calls s terrible! Seems that the other party is whispering at max volume.

MUCH better sound than my Galaxy S7. Loud and clear.
Tested in store and it is way quieter than the XL version. I was disappointed and tried other stores with the same results.
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app
I think this is a nice video to watch. The video shows there isn't much difference between the 3 and the 3xl. Way better then the rest and last year's pixels though.
https://youtu.be/PkpaDKSAwVo
Coming from a pixel 1 to this... yeah the speakers are way better. I was using DuoLingo on speaker while cooking and could clearly understand what was being said without needing it cranked all the way up.
I used my Plantronics BackBeat Fit Bluetooth headphones for the first time with the Pixel 3 yesterday while I was walking. They're *much* louder and the audio is better quality than with my old Nexus 5. I wasn't expecting that, but I'm happy.
I tested the ring tone speaker volume and they were very weak but a UTube video was loud.
Has anyone added custom ringtones that match the media volume?
Wheres the outrage on the phone ring volume, first and formost this is a phone. If you cant hear the thing ring what good is your phone. Demand that the fix this problem. What does it tell you that a media sound is louder that your ring tone?
Speaker is clear, but speakerphone volume is not as loud as my Nexus 6 was.

The notification, ringtone and alarm volumes are abysmally low. In anything but a totally silent environment, they are not loud enough to be hear if the phone is in a pocket or purse. I submitted a request for this on Google Issue Tracker website
https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/121304984 (sorry, you'll need to copy and paste - new users can't post hyperlinks)
but it was ultimately rejected as "won't fix (intended behavior)".
These sounds only emit from the bottom speaker by design. This was the development team's response:
"This is "speaker safe" mode, in which any sounds that could surprise the user shouldn’t go blasting out of the main speaker. As the user reported, one implementation is using secondary speaker instead of the one in the ear area. We appreciate your feedback. Unfortunately as of now, we will need to decline this as "working as intended"."
This is unacceptable, since it should only be implemented when the user has the phone to his/her ear when on a voice call.
Otherwise these sounds should emanate from both speakers to provide the necessary volume.

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 !
Best speakers out there nothing can compare

try the raze phine speakers
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.

Ust mono speaker settings too it makes speaker fuller and louder
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.

The audio is awesome. Stereo Sound clearly make a difference (the top one could get louder tho), Dolby Smart Sound performs great. The only thing bothering me with the speakers are the volume steps (they are very messed up), that could be fixed with a software update.
I agree the stereo Dolby sound is great. I thought my G5+ had a good loud mono speaker but on the G7+ it's louder & clearer. I always used V4A on the G5+ but am not sure I'll need it now.
I'm older and don't like earphones unless I'm out in public, and at home I don't listen to music on my phone. But I listen to lots of audio podcasts and stuff on youtube that the screen can be turned off for (using Vanced background play module for Magisk) while going around doing my chores, and for that purpose the G7+ will be even better. And of course for watching videos with screen on the speaker sound is both strong and of good quality.
The Sound is very great.
I am very Happy with the Phone.
I just wish it could be LESS loud!
The 1% volume is still to high when you are listening to some music in bed with someone sleeping in a room nearby. Why can't the volume go lower?
Moto G7 Plus speaker Functionality
The earpiece in the Moto g7 plus serves as the Bass and lowermid frequencies while the bottom speaker gives you mid to highs and has a fuller sound.
The earpiece producing bass gives the phone vibration which you can feel when you hear music. At max volume, the bottom speaker seems to play louder than the earpiece, but that is okay, since the earpiece is actually producing the bass and thump and the vibration.
Quality is really good and enjoyable and even with headphones.
Probably the best speakers in a Moto phone since the Moto X Pure/Style of 2015. Loud and clear. Reasonable tone, considering how small the drivers have to be.
I bought a used G7 Plus recently. The sound is amazing, I'm using it in the Movie setting.
The earpiece speaker (at the top) has a very different sound response and it seems like it has a lower volume than the speaker at the bottom, therefore I went to settings, searched for "balance" and adjusted it by around 30% to the left side. Now it sounds better. When using other audio outputs (bluetooth, P2 earphones) I need to reset the balance to 0.
