My first call sucked. Ugh!
Sound from speakers is acceptable. Except for the first call. The people of earth were right
It is a bit of a shock when you make your first call, the under the screen speaker certainly has taken the edge off HD calling, it sounds muffed (unsurprisingly) and gone is the feeling of the other other person in the call is sat in your head, it is definitely a step backwards in terms of call quality.
My first call was like..."uhhh, what's wrong, is my speaker broken?"

Yep, I just had my 3rd call. Longer duration and indoors this time. It was better than the first two calls but still really not very good. Probably can live with it. LoL
Yeah, they clearly want us to buy Pixel Buds. They had better put them on a serious Black Friday sale though. I am not paying anything close to $179.

Hahahaha. Good theory.
Microphone Issue.
After few calls, receivers are net hearing me (whatsapp and gsm call). It works better when I activate loudspeaker or with hands free kit.
I sent back device to warranty. waiting for their diagnosis...
On speaker phone yes quite often they say what say again
My end it's fine, as the sound comes.out of the bottom speaker

When I'm at work and receive a call the person on the other end says I sound like I'm under water talking. Happened twice in the last week. I work in a metal building but have very good service. Right next to a tower. Phone works fine anywhere but work. Anyone else have this experience from inside a metal building? Not sure anything can be done about it.

If I was a frequent user of making and receiving calls, I would have no option but to send my P5 back, luckily I don't use this option that often.
I cannot believe that the Google Quality Control people signed this part of the phone off. I honestly cannot remember ever owning a mobile phone with such rubbish call quality. If I'm honest, same applies to the speakers.
I get what you mean about that first call, very strange experience to what I'm used to but I do often have a headset on. I did sound clear at the other end though
After a month i got used to it
You also need your ear a lot further down the phone than we are all used to, that makes a difference taking a call on the Pixel 5.
Coming from a Samsung Galaxy Note 10 with the speaker under the screen, I can say that the pixel's 5 call sound quality is not acceptable at all. Samsung's call quality was crystal clear. Pixel's call quality is bad in most phone calls

I rated it "bad" even though I can understand what people are saying. The issue I have is that receiving audio volume fades in and out. Sometimes I hear the other party crystal clear, and other times it seems muffled. It just seems to float back and forth throughout the call. This happens on every call, to both land lines and cell phones.

Yes, coming from a HTC U Ultra, I can definitely understand what you're talking about... Sometimes I wonder if it's worse than the first Mi Mix, I had that a couple months ago. The first Mi Mix was very bad and I was really hoping that the second generation of the device would solve the handset issue. However, it turns out that they've barely done much.... I personally absolutely hate this phone only for this one reason which kind of sucks if I'm being honest. I just bought the White/Special Edition which is super sick and looks beautiful! But but, what good is a phone if it doesn't do its job..... I've started to use Bluetooth Headphones for calls and it works rather well. So if you're always looking for another option I'd recommend using Bluetooth Headphones... You can easily remove then and put them to side and then use them whenever you see fit.

Yes, As I just mentioned to the OP... I use Bluetooth Headset on mine due to really bad mic/headset speaker issue. Maybe that'll help you too.

Very Quiet
The in-call volume is SO quiet and the mic is too sensitive; family can hear themselves loudly when I use speakerphone.
yes the call volume is dramatically quiet as if you are speaking to someone long distance in the 80s. very unhappy about this. razer sort!
Hmm. Perhaps a bluetooth device is required until Razer sorts this out.
Between the camera and this I still have to give them props for their first device. I don't see more problems than the Iphone X and Pixel 2 so far.. lol
no issues here, i can hear well and no complaints on the other end
Sounds pretty normal to me. I do have to kinda be precise on my ear placement but not terrible nor overly treble-thick.
Regular call volume is great for me. However when connected through Bluetooth if I make a call i can barely hear the other person, as if they are really far away. Incoming call on BT is fine though. Has anyone else experienced this?

I have this exact issue. Calls on the headset and speakerphone are fine. However just like you incoming BT calls are fine but outgoing are almost impossible to hear. I have tried removing and re-adding the pairing but no change.
A quick update. There was an update that I needed to restart to get. That fixed the bluetooth issue. Hope it works for anyone else too.
call volume is too quiet

Yes, call volume is very very quiet. Something needs to be done about call quality and clarity..
When making an outgoing call, even the ringing tone is quiet.
After having the phone a bit, I will have to agree that call is very quiet.. Even turned up all the way... In fact you have to have it up all the way just to be able to have a conversation.
And yet they say "Oh that's strange. We've had no complaints of that."
If you complain enough, they'll replace it under warranty if you say you've factory reset it 4 or so times.
But there's no Limited Editions left so you'll only get a regular one.
Also they post your replacement only after you've sent yours and you've given them a tracking number.
Call quality has been excellent for me. I appreciate how well I can hear the folks on the other end of the line.
I hear people very quiet when calling them. This phone performance wise is really good battery as well but i have a dilemma because i can swap it for what ever i want note 8 or iphone 8 plus huawei mate 10 pro currently my main phone is the Iphone X 256gb

Have had the phone for two days
Mixed experience regarding call quality
Sometimes loud and sometimes a little low volume , although not too much.
Strange

The limited edition, is not special. It's a sticker.
Also, in defense of Razer, they give you a prepaid label.

It's also on your box. The green is a status symbol. It stands out as being one of the few that were available at launch.
It's a little thing that let's you be proud that you managed to get one.
That's the difference.

If you're more concerned about a sticker's color to the point you're afraid to RMA it, that's on you.
Otherwise if it were me? I would tear the sticker off before I RMA it and explain to customer service they're getting a phone back without the sticker.
I understand what you're saying, but I feel it's unnecessary especially since it's a sticker. But I guess if the sticker makes you happier than the phone makes ya, grats.
I'm willing to bet it wouldn't be that hard to duplicate the sticker. I'm pretty tempted to do so just to make all the folks who think it's so important realize, it's not. No serial numbers anyways.

So Tab S4 can make phone calls like a Note 9 ? As i'm planning on purchasing TAB S4 but only if it can make calls ? As im planning on making my daily driver!
My calls are crisp. I have had my tabs4 in the keyboard cover since day one. I had the cover before I had the tablet. When I first made a call there was a piece of tape all around where the speakers and Mic were on the keyboard cover. The other party was saying just what you said, "Huh", "what". I saw the tape and took it off. After that all calls have been great, 3.5mm Headset, or speaker. I've had a lot of compliments on voice quality since then. I can't wait until I get my free bluetooth headset from samsung from the note9 preorder..

Does the SM-T835 model tablet have an actual, real phone feature (the dialer app -> send/receive calls) present, or are you using VoIP? I ask because some devices have the LTE radio for data only but do not have an actual phone in itself -- and I'd like to ditch my Note 8 altogether (as the screen is too small for me) if it does, since I use a wired/wireless combo headset anyway.
Thanks!
An actual regular phone with call recording and all! No VOIP. Buy the Korean Version on ebay from worlddigital2000 with 6gb of ram. I can't say enough how impressed I am with this tablet. It's making my 16gb computer seem slow now.
The UK 4g version, can that be used as a phone to receive SMS messages and make/receive calls?
does it have earpiece like phone?
I have a t mobile sm t837t can it be used to make calls

5 out of 10 for call quality. The person on the other end says my voice has a high pitched static to it when I use the phone itself or if I am using the USB buds. Doesn't happen when I am on bluetooth so I would say it may be hardware related in some way.
Wifi calling works well: no complaints about how I sound. I could hear the person on the other end clearly. (Google Pixel 3 XL.)
Call quality has been great. No complaints.

Same here. Landline quality for me.
Depends on carrier and service area for both ends of the call. My experience so far is it's not any better or worse than my LG V20 was.
I have a faint static sound on phone calls through the ear speaker. It sounds kind of like ground loop feedback you could get in audio electronics.
the first person i called said i sound good without asking, and when i called myself i didnt hear static. wifi calling seems to work on att too. this is coming from nexus 6 (no P)
It's good on my end but yesterday I was told by the other person it was horrible. She said she could hear every little sound going on around me painfully loud
Exceptional Call Quality - better than my Samsung Note 9 by far. I called my son the other day and without saying anything about being on a new phone, he mentioned how great the call was - clear and crisp - I noticed it too - on my first call - Helps that I am on ATT and Enhanced LTE services are working.
I am really happy about that - Enhanced LTE and WiFi Calling did not work on my Note 9 but they work GREAT on my Pixel 3 XL -
I have the same issue. Worked with Google support on the issue and they came to the conclusion it was defective.
Started RMA process, but after reading all the issues people are having with RMAs I'm just going to return the 3XL.
As for the noise, it's a constant static noise only heard while using the handset on calls. Sounds like an old flip phone that is on a call while being charged.

This Pixel 3 XL is Project Fi ready according to Google but WiFi calls VoLTE isn't working it doesn't matter if you're connected to T-Mobile, it won't work, so call quality on Project Fi
I'm getting coil whine like noises during calls, likely from poor shielding to EMI, otherwise calls are clear on my end. RMA'd it but I suspect the replacement will have the same flaw.
Received my Pixel 3XL last week. Called a friend who uses an iPhone (7 I think), and I have never experienced a phone call so clear...ever. It was shockingly clear. Both of us are on AT&T in a metropolitan area. Also, my previous phone was a Pixel XL. Another thing: after the clarity shocked me I pulled my phone away from my head and looked at the screen, and there was a tiny "HD" beside the call duration.

Distortion issues if using hotspot and making a call over Bluetooth while in my car...have to disconnect the hotspot and then quality is normal.
Very crisp voice calls, maybe in part to Three 4G voice data?
Hands free calls through the supplied headphones is also fantastic
I'm having horrible phone calls and I'm using Project Fi with a Pixel 3. Sent Google some feedback and took a survey so we'll see what happens. Overall super disappointed in both the service and the phone. I'm starting to regret switching from my Oneplus
Pixel 3xl poor call quality
People on the other end cannot hear me out hear static. My pixel 3xl I'd over well old

Very good quality..
I would prefer it a Little more loud .
I find the call quality very good, no real difference from the S10+.
So far nobody complained about the mic on the phone, and I did not yet give my phone to someone else to call me on another phone from it to hear how the mic performs in phone call, but as for the in-display speaker, I expected worse. The sound is a bit flat, but I would say many people would not really notice there is no speaker on top of the phone. Sound leak when the speaker is at above 70% is a bit worse than on "normal" phones, but ever since phones started using ear piece as full size stereo speakers it was the same on other phones, you should be careful about your volume slider if you don't want people in 10 meter radious to listen to your phone call. Honestly it was one of my biggest concern, but it is fine.
But phone call on loud speaker I suspect will bring back problems with echo we did not have for years on premium phones. Have to test it soon, as I do use loud speaker often when I am in my office.
No issues with mine. I was concerned about the oscillating display technology but it actually works great. I have had a listen on the other end as well and the mic is very clear.
The receiver can not hear me clearly while talking using the loud speaker ?
Does anyone feels like the audio that came from the display is not that good? Sometimes I just can't understand what the person on the other side is saying ! And I remember that Huawei said that using this technology you could hear better in noise places and nobody but you could hear the talk , cause the sound comes from the screen vibrating ! Well is not working that good ....
So it means to say the acoustic speaker technology does not produce louder volume as Huawei Mate 10 Pro, one good example
https://consumer.huawei.com/uk/support/content/en-gb00737790/
i have problem with microphone. Remote can not understand what im saying. My voice is like muffled. This is not happening when im using speaker mode or headset. im suspecting that related with noise canceling.
Device has stock rom and fully upgraded/updated.
I bought this expecting to hate the acoustic display thing but to my delight I really like it! Been using the phone since September 2019 and I can say everything about calling is great. The reception is stellar, no sound leak, clarity is very good to great, and people on the other end, provided they have good hardware and network coverage, never complain about hearing me.
The mics sound good and I didn't receive any complaints.
The earpiece though has a very low volume compared with other phones like Galaxy S8, so I can't hear the other person so good.
