I've seen one blog mention that the moto x play doesn't have dual speakers, but can anyone confirm this?
It seems like a huge oversight and deal breaker to me if it doesn't, seeing as the g and style do.
tbh there probably using the same housing as they did in the droid turbo and therefore only having one speaker would make sense BUT i really hope theres two speakers, not a deal breaker for me but just annoying.
Having one front firing speaker is 1000000000x better than a rear and side firing.
Yeah that would make sense but that's really disappointing if so. One front firing speaker is definitely better but when you turn the phone on it's side its really annoying hearing the sound so loudly from one side.
The already announced at their event that it has stereo speakers on the front.

They announced this for the Style. Correct me if I'm wrong.
It has just one speaker like the 2nd Moto X.
Only the Moto X style has two speakers, both the G and the X play have only one.
Please have a look at this :

If this is achievable on the oneplus-one, why not on our device.. It will have a more natural stereo output than the OPO...

I can confirm that the Moto X Play XT1562 only has a mono speaker.
I'm German and even I know that it's "they're" not "there" ...

Stop lying man
I don't know if anyone watching this thread, but I want to share something with you guys.
I've got my Moto X Play (XT1562; no carrier) a week ago.
I'm listening to the official FM radio app right now, and suddenly realized that the sound is coming from lower half of the phone, which obviously means that this model has two speakers on its front panel.
However, the radio sound isn't coming from the upper speaker at all, so, maybe the upper speaker is for phone call purpose only.
Can anyone confirm it or hack into it?
sorry for my bad English

It is literally the same as the vast majority of phones.... A speaker towards the bottom, and an earpiece at the top for calls.

Hey all, the audio quality from the speakers are supposed to be a selling point of the phone.. not many reviewers speak about it in the video review or even give an example of what it sounds like... so not intuitive and extra frustrating lol. Does anyone have it and can compare it to the HTC one boom sound quality or the Iphone 4s good speaker quality? Now that i have an HTC One, the only way i would go to the LG G2 is if the audio quality from the speakers hold up to the hype LG displayed at their event. replies are appreciated.
Im with you as no review has done anything with the sound. I will say in this phonearena review https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVA7jg1KB-k&feature=youtube_gdata_player that he says although the G2 sounds great it doesnt have the depth the htc one has with its boom sound but that still leaves us in the dark.

yeah i watched that yesterday... again left in the dark... i was hoping that it sounded close to the HTC One as it's the best audio i've heard on a phone next to the Iphone 4 and 4s. thanks for the reply!
Are you talking about audio from the external speaker, or audio out to headphones? If external speaker, I'm thinking you'd be disappointed vs. the HTC One, as the G2 only has a single mono speaker on the bottom right as you face the screen. The grill on the bottom left is the microphone.

yeah i was referring to the External speakers and thats a bummer.. i thought they were stereo speakers with two at the bottom... something like the apple has at the bottom of their iphone. I really like the phone from reviews and if the speakers are better than the Note 3 lets say or any other LG smart phone, i may be inclined to get it... seems like no phone is as good as the htc one just yet

I don't know if i'd let the speakers bother you, much. Then again i can't tell you what and what not to do.
A phone will never have audiophile sound from speakers. Sure, we can justify it sounding good because of what it is. I've heard the iphone speakers and i've heard the htc speakers. Yes, for a phone they are great, but that's about it. With that being said, i'd never rock out with phone speakers. They help get the point across, but i'll be reaching for hi-end gear to make those beautiful music notes shine.

right.. but the reason i'm intrigued is because they're supposed to be really good.. LG had a presentation on the speakers. The Htc one sounds very very good.. it could come out of the box louder but there's a way you can make them louder and still sound crisp. It's second to none i've tried so far. going to something lesser than hurts the mind and deprives the ears when you know there's a better option.

and i was just looking at the phone and it does look like two speakers at the bottom left and right. are you sure?
The Hi-Fi sound is in regards to being able to play 24 bit/192kHz Hi-Fi playback. The only way to take advantage of this is having high enough quality media and using a nice set of headphones. The external speaker has nothing to do with this, and from what I've seen it's not all that great.

ooooooo i see what u mean now... that's why they have those different type of headphones that comes with the phone. well that sums it up.. probably answers the question of why no one is talking about the external speakers.. they're just regular lol

99.9% sure, based on a post I read from someone who already has the phone, as well as the phone's manual, which only draws a line to one grill with the "Speaker" label. No manual is perfect, but I'm fairly confident that a split line would have been drawn to each grill if it had stereo external speakers.
Right side is the only speaker. It sounds better than the GS4, but not as good as the HTC One.

The speaker(s) on the lg g2 do sound better than the s3. Can't comment on the s4. The lg g2 is more warm sounding and higher pitched timbre's sound more realistic vs the s3. They are of equal sound volume, however.
It's about as loud as my n4 but actually has more bass, not saying its much, but its more than a n4 or gs3.
i hate the fact that there's a built in compressor/limiter on the speakers, and there's some kind of weird stereo thing going on where it might only be giving ONE channel, rather than both left/right out of the speaker.
i rememebr reading on the international version that there was EQ settings and whatnot somewhere...wonder if we can unlock them somehow? then maybe we can turn that stupid limiter off.
Hey guys...dont know whether this has been asked before but i really dont know if this g2 has 1 or 2 speakers. Cos the sound only comes out of the right speaker. But in the manual looks like it has 2 speakers...can someone help me here? Thanks

Right side is the ONLY speaker, though it 'looks like' 2 in the bottom.
Received my G2 yesterday and everything has been great until i played a game and my finger covered the right speaker when in landscape. This blocked all sound and was muffled, when i looked i saw a speaker on the opposite side. is this supposed to be a dual speaker phone or is it like the iphone and one is a microphone? I have found in a couple of reviews that it does have stereo speakers but cant find it anywhere on the LG website
The "speaker" on the left isn't actually a speaker. That's the microphone. It doesn't have stereo bottom speaker.

That's disappointing. I made up my mind to get a G2 soon, and i thought the 2 grills at the bottom of the phone were dual stereo speakers, just like on the iPhone.

I believe the iPhone only uses one speaker, one for audio and one for the speakerphone. At least that's what I heard.

Little did you know that Apple duped you too. The iPhone only has 1 speaker as well. That 2nd speaker grill on the iPhone and G2 are phony. I just think both LG and Apple did the dual speaker grills for aesthetic looks and not for functionality. I mean it does look a lot nicer to have dual speaker grills than what Verizon did and just have the speaker grill on the one side.
But the noise canceling Mic on the VZN works as intended with one small hole vs a big grill. Lets in to much wind noise

Are you sure?
there was this hype about the 2014 design for moto smartphones x, g and e, and only now I noticed that the 2 grills on the front are NOT stereo speakers. top one only works for phone calls, and bottom one acts as a loud speaker for music, notifications, speaker phone, etc.
who started this thing about stereo speakers anyway? kinda disappointing

Clueless tech bloggers making assumptions rather than waiting for facts.
Yeah a few devs were trying to see if they could activate the top speaker for music but I don't think that it is going anywhere.

Yeah theres a thread for it on here. Needs root.
What I don't understand is that the moto G which is cheaper has stereo speakers but the moto x doesn't
I don't believe moto G has stero speakers either.. does it?
The second generation G does have stereo speakers, but I do believe the single one on the X is better. Obviously the stereo effect is nice but im fine with it.
The Moto X was never claimed to have stereo speakers.

I think it have something to the do with the Moto X noise canceling technology and it's 4 microphones.

Why would that prevent them from including stereo speakers?
So, I have a Pixel XL, but since the speaker is the same, I would like to share this here as well....
Here is a comparison of the speakers on both devices. I recorded both phones using my Blue Yeti mic to really capture the differences.
I will be doing a few more vids on about my Pixel on my channel, so check if you are interested.

Speaker is one of my concerns
It's cool to have front facing speakers but I think back and wonder just how often I would use them on my Nexus 6. I mean, maybe a few minutes in the evening when I get home from work, but that's about it. At work, I would use the headphone jack, which depends on the DAC within the phone...so the external speakers don't matter at that point.

Same here. Very very rarely was in a situation where it really mattered with my 6P.
I think the Pixel speaker is just great. Especially coming from the S7E. Loud and great quality

Pixel speaker is fine. Thanks for doing that video, it was very cool to see. Really, I can't see it as really accurate though. All through your tests the pixel speaker seems to have a better angle to your mic. These little speakers are highly directional. I don't normally watch a video on the phone with the down firing speaker pointed at my ear.

That's why I did 2 rounds. One with the phones just laying on the table and another with the speakers next to the mic
So there's leaks everywhere about the specs of this device, but one major thing no one seems to be talking about is the speaker setup. Do any of you guys think the 6t just might have a stereo pair? Or is it most likely going to have the same single downward firing speaker OnePlus has always used? It'd be awesome if OnePlus at LEAST made the ear piece double as a loud speaker, creating a stereo pair! But like I said, the speaker situation seems to be the only thing not leaked at this point. Thoughts?
