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.

I'm coming from a Mate 9 and Axon 7, so those are the most recent devices I have to compare to my ZenFone 4 Pro.
In general, the ZenFone is definitely louder than my Mate 9's dual speakers. Mainly, voices are much louder and clearer on the ZFone. I'm one of those people in the minority who give speakerphone loudness/clarity #1 priority in a phone evaluation. I listen to music out of my speakers all throughout the house and have Voxer conversations constantly working out in my shop. Headphone and bluetooth speakers aren't a valid option for me.
One thing I will say is that my Mate 9 seems to be better in the mid range/higher bass section than the ZPhone. I'm still playing with the EQ settings on the ZFone, but I think the Mate 9 is a just a bit better here. The ZFone's speakers can distort a bit at max volume with certain EQ settings set high.
Overall, not on the level of the newest U11 boomsoud, but better than my Mate 9, and WAY better than the Axon 7. I don't care what anybody says, the Axon 7's speakers were incredibly underwhelming. My Mate 9 put it to shame on sound quality and volume.
+ Quite loud!
+ Doesn't easily distort on high volumes
+ Uses earpiece speaker for stereo playback
+/- no true stereo speaker set-up
+/- earspeaker has got different frequency response than speakerphone, so the stereo image ain't very pretty. But at least they tried.
+/- pretty 'eh' midrange and absent low-range, like on most phones

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.

Volume will be impressive.
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.

Is it me or one of the last update greatly increased the stereo on the speakers? It was really not good with bad balance at first, then after an udpate the quality was horrible with noise in the top speaker, but a week ago I forgot my headphone, I was surprised how good the stereo was. Almost perfect balance with good clarity and quality.

no I always had a good sound but with the dolby activated Otherwise I had a big difference in volume
I bought the Xperia when it first came out and was disappointed at the quality of the speakers. They sounded really tinny with lack of mids or depth even with atmos on and were not that loud.
In comparison the Samsung note 9 speakers were way better but only since Samsung phones are tuned by AKG which is now owned by Samsung, but like beat audio for apple.

Well.. it's dual speaker, the bottom speaker is loud and clear but, the top speaker isn't that loud. So, it doesn't really give stereo experience

Have you changed the speaker settings with the wizard? Give that a go! I've seen a reviewer change his, and after the change, he liked the way it sounded.

Exactly, i increased all those pointers in custom Equalizer. Omg...now its more louder and the outdoor sound is much more louder. Loving it more
How does this "tweak" compare to the ROG Phone II's supposed amazing front facing speakers?
Hey guys, I was wondering if that stereo speaker setup(?) really has a good effect for listening to music compared to a front facing stereo speaker setup like the Axon 7?

Same Loudness like S10+ But S10+ Sounds like Better compared to Note 10+.
On the N10+ the bottom speaker appears to be slightly louder. This is apparent at high levels. I suspect this is accounted for in its speaker design: the top speaker doesn't have the benefit of a big grill.
May I ask you guys where you were able to test this? Was this at Unpacked? What kind of environment were you in when you tested it? I hope its better than the Note 9 because that about half the volume of my iPhone XS. Barely could hear people unless at max earpiece volume, and playing music over the speaker was almost pointless unless in a super quiet room. Thanks!
definitely much louder than note 9, just upgraded from it to 10+
Not much but it is louder and with reacher sound. Spotify, phones near each other and same song resumed on bouth phones (best test for loudnes for me)! Btw I have note 10 (not +) but as I saw, bouth are the same with speakers.

much louder than my prior note 9 and s10 plus.
It's not the speaker phone quality thats an issue for me, it's the earpiece for taking phone calls. If your in a noisey enviroment, there's no way to hear the call, it's all low frequencies and no top end
