Just received my AT&T note 3... first thing I noticed right away, before even comparing it to my I9500 S4, is how terrible the speakers sounded! I then whipped out my S4 and sure enough the speakers are actually WORSE on the Note 3 than on the S4... this is really disappointing!! Even my Note 2 had better speakers than the S4 so to hear this note 3 with even worse speakers than S4 is just sickening...
Cool story bro.

This has been pretty much brought up by everyone. I agree, very disappointing, and yes I do use the speakers often. I travel a lot for work and will use the phone in the bathroom while showering/getting ready, speakerphone for con calls, etc.
Mine sounds perfectly fine. You got a special edition that has more than one speaker?

If it came with dual speakers it would sound better, I think.

My speakerphone distorts on any volume 75% or higher. I will be exchanging my phone at AT&T as soon as they get a black one in stock which is on its way to the store.
I am hoping the replacement resolves the distortion/crackling sound.

No but it SHOULD be better than the PREVIOUS version of the phone it is replacing. Right?
If it weren't for notifications and ringtones, I wouldn't even know my phone HAD an external speaker... And you can EQ the speaker to sound better (or worse, whichever you prefer).
i do wish it had a better speaker. mine, too, distorts over 75%. i use the phone speaker and it seems silly that a flagship device not spring for a little better speaker.

Well, I do purchase phones to talk on, and I often use the speakerphone to talk. So yeah, speaker quality is non-trivial to me. But with that said, at least mine is at least as good or better than the Note 1 that it replaced. Not great, or even good, but passable as long as I'm not trying to understand what's on the other end while in a loud place. But it would be nice to have a loud, clear speaker, for once, that was usable in more situations.
Man I can't STRESS this enought but these speakers a JOKE. I just got a message on my Note 3 and it sounded like it came from a TIN CAN. My S4 makes a more manlier sound than this JOKE of a speaker. I love the phone though, just wish they IMPROVED on the speaker from the LAST generation of the note line (note 2).
Speaker rating:
Note 2 > Note 1 > S4 > S3 > Note 3
Note 3 sux THAT much.
Since I use my phone for business use, including as a speaker phone in a conference with other coworkers, a phone with a bad speaker is a no go for me. Looks like I will need to pass on the Note 3 and keep using the Note II.

This has been discussed (to death) in the international forum. The N3's speaker is just as loud as the N2's and SGS4's. Those other two phones, especially the N2, do have more detail.
Here's my N2 taping a video playing playing on my N3 and vice versa. It's the same TV show (Modern Family) being played back on my cable company's video app minutes apart. Both phones are at max volume. The N3's flat on its back on a desk and the N2 is propped up in a Seidio kickstand case because it can't lie flat on its back without hobbling its audio. The recording distance is the same.

Speakerphone loudness test
From GSMArena...
A loudspeaker that is nice and... well, loud, is a nice asset for your mobile. Whether it's hearing the other person on the speakerphone or your phone ringing from the other room, or even playing music on your get-together's, a loud speaker is definitely something that's nice to have. And while the quality of the loudspeaker sound is difficult to measure and is for the most part a subjective matter, we can effectively measure how loud it is. For this, we use a digital noise/loudness meter which measures the peak loudness of the phones and tablets we review, in decibels (dB). We do our tests in a soundproof studio taking measurements with the handset loudspeaker facing the loudness meter at a distance of exactly 1 m. For each test we make several consecutive measurements - we usually disregard the highest readings and take the lowest of the maximum values, as that's least likely to have been misread. We test three different types of audio samples for three different scenarios:
A phone ringing. For the first part of the test we use a ringtone which resembles the ringing of an old rotary phone, because it seems that most phones do well when we use it.
Pink noise. Next we try a sample of pink noise. Our readings with it are pretty indicative on how well the handset loudspeaker can play most music.
Human voice, male. This is an important test, since if you tend the use the loudspeaker for speakerphone purposes, loudness is really important, regardless of whether you are in the conference room or in your car.
Once we have the results in db for all three sound samples, we sum them up and use a in-house developed formula to produce a qualitative description of the loudness levels: Below Average, Average, Good, Very Good and Excellent. As many of our results are separated by a difference of only a few decibels, it is important to keep in mind that the decibel is a logarithmic unit, which means that a reading of +3dB represents roughly two times the power. We'd like to reiterate again that this test is not about the quality of the sound produced by the loudspeaker. A mild, relatively deep-sounding loudspeaker that soothes the ear won't do well in this test. Instead, what we are after is pure peak loudness - it's our hunt for the loudest phone, ever.
And here are the results. What’s ironic is the N3 is better than most newer smartphones and the best selling smartphone in the world, the iP5/s.
And the editorial...
Note 3
We put the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 through our loudspeaker test and were pleased with the results. It's extremely loud and even managed to slightly top the HTC One's dual front speakers. While the One produces deeper sound the Galaxy Note 3 is louder.
Note II
We also ran our traditional loudspeaker test on the Note II. It scored a good all-round mark, meaning more often than not you'll hear it, save for the noisiest environments.
SGS4
It's extremely loud and even managed to slightly top the HTC One's dual front speakers. While the One produces deeper sound the Galaxy S4 is louder.Conclusion?
Objectively, and without doubt, raw output wise the N3's external speaker is equal to the N2 and SGS4's. Subjectively, and with great debate, the quality of that sound isn't as good as the N2 and SGS4's.
Hmm, this is weird, because I had my Note 2 all kinds of tweaked out, and though it was louder with aftermarket kernel and mods, I definitely hear more clarity in the Note 3 speaker... Did they change sound card manufacturers?
No complaints from me...
The headphone output is DEF improved over the Note 2...
OK, please take this conversation to the sticky thread.

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.

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'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.

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.
Hi guys!i bought p30 pro on monday at very good price the 256gb one.

I have both. I have tried every possible tweak to the video on the P30 Pro. The camera (for still photos) is much better on the P30 and I don't think anyone can argue differently. However, if video is important there simply isn't a competition. The S10 produced fantastic video and 4K on the front facing camera is nice as well. The P30 Pro has a very difficult time with lighting changes and it throws off color badly. There are times when panning to different scenes will completely change the color palette on the P30. What was brown becomes almost red and there is a lot of oversaturation at times. There is also some stutter to video at times. I have other complaints as well. I'd say if still photos are most important keep it. If the screen quality and video are high on your list the S10 blows it away on both levels. FYI... The microphone is also terrible on the P30 Pro. I use an external mic which solves it - but the built in mic on the S10 is far better.

P30 for still photos and for speed I think according to some benchmarks and for battery life according to some users,
S10 for video and screen and much much more refined and better UI really the one ui is amazing ,
Also frankly the s10 gets very good photos and the weak areas in the Samsung camera app is covered by the Gcam port :good:

I had both of them at the same time and I took the same photos and videos at the same time.
I bought the p30 pro because I got convinced by "authoritative" websites and reviewers, luckily thanks to these I managed to sell it without losing too much money.
The dynamic range is poor, the indoor photos go yellow and the outdoor ones tend to purple, a clear blue sky becomes lilac, the ryyb sensor is not so bright, the photos are even darker than the s10plus, the night mode alters the scene and creates a lot of noise, the photos are too compressed.
The only good thing is the 5x zoom.
The gap on the videos is huge.
I understand fashion, I understand sponsorships and collaborations, I understand that youtubers need to make views but I felt cheated.
The p30pro has a good Huawey style camera but not yet like other competitors.
This is my experience.
The reviews of this device were different than the user experience. More so than usual I believe.

4K 150fps 10bit or 8K 30fps is what it's capable of according to Samsung. Of course (software) always dictates what the user experience is. Since the Exynos version will be rooted and soon after development starts, these hardware capabilities will be explored shortly thereafter. That's the chief reason why to pick the "underdog" so to speak.
What's the best place to get a P30 pro on a good deal?
I want to give it a try, if anyone is looking to offload one please let me know
Besides video recording here some advantages of the s10+:
-Better qhd screen
-Better UI
-Unlockable bootloader
-gcam ports
I have both and long story short, the perfect phone will be the front of the s10 including the screen design camera fingerprint and second speaker , the back of the p30 pro design color camera faster wireless charger and battery running oneUI powered by the sd855
Both are good. There are more negatives about the p30pro which can be easily specially yellowish photos can be fixed with snapseed ... that's the price to pay for if u want this marvelous night mode camera and zoom.
If making photos (low-light and possibly zoomed) is your primary focus --> P30+
For just about anything else --> S10+
I have the S10+ and the camera and zoom would be my only reason to switch to the P30+, but just about everything else is better on the S10+ I believe... screen, software, speakers, video.
Batterylife, I can only say I have no issues at all with the S10+ (though I DID specifically go for the 10+ for battery life) and can easily manage 1 day and with some minor effort I'd say 2. Not sure about the P30 Pro, though I heard it's great in that aspect.
The P30 Pro has been proven to phone home to Chinese servers. If you have to use a VPN or special hosts blocker on a phone for security concerns, then I'd never consider it in the first place.

There is no evidence of any links to Chinese servers, only the potential, and iOS and other Google phones have the same potential... Nor is there any evidence of a single piece of classified data being moved via Huawei, its just a bid by Trump and US to get a better trade deal with China, even last week Trump said that the ban on Huawei could be lifted as part of a new trade deal... so one can see its not a security issue but a business one. See here the quote from Trump https://www.cnbc.com/2019/05/23/trump-huawei-trade-deal.html
USA is the only country where iPhone sales are strong, 47% use iPhones vs 16% globally. So with Huawei making big inroads (now no.2 after Samsung) Trump needed to protect that 47% (imagine if the iPhone user base in the USA fell by 30% odd..)

It depends on the stream quality. With a good rate music, it doesn't crackle at all.
With low quality music, it crackles just a bit and only with Outdoor mode on.
Tho, when you activate Outdoor mode, a warning message tells you that Outdoor mode increases the loudness even more, but the quality will decrease.
Speakerphone while on call
I am awaiting speakerphone (when on a phone call) clarity and loudness feedback. Not youtube, video etc
NAAJIM, how is speakerphone when on call? I am asking Not on YouTube or video but while speaking on call how's speakerphone?
Unfortunately, for me, sound quality is better samsung s10 plus (my wife's device) than this rog 2, clarity at loud volume is good but not the best.
It yes, this device had loud stereo speakers, but if we talk about clarity and quality, i think samsung s10 plus is better
Or there's some setting that can catch up the s10 plus, idk
The speaker on the phone is bombastic.

Ah, this "bkcobra" guy commented on every real life review post (negatively).
If you didn't like the phone after buying (which I'm pretty sure you didn't even own one), just return, damn it.

Just because he's telling the truth you dont need to be an asshole with him
6.000 mah battery with screen on 25%, 60hz refresh rate, deactivated google apps and sevices, no android services opened and disabled, example: Lift phone to ear to answer calls, everything stock twinkered and like i said disabled or opened, battery lasts 2 days with minimum usage, youtube / facebook / some calls / 2-3 hours total usage per day, this is a fake battery marketing, i had years phones that has 5000 mah battery and lasted longer.
So i dont get if you guys are children with little or less knowledge or plain stupid. ( Or payd by asus for advertise this positive , just like all the "youtubers" )
Awesome clarity and loudness
Speakers on their own are the loudest I've ever encountered. (previous phones include HTC one m7, m9 and razer phone).
One thing is if put on outdoor mode the clarity degrades a bit. though with the fairly high boost in volume this is understandable.
