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

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.

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 well

How is the call quality and noise cancellation, with the four microphones?

On the Essential website is says that the phone has four microphones: "4x microphones with noise cancellation and beam forming."
I'm wondering how this affects call quality for noise cancellation (and if all four microphones are in fact used in calls--or is it just used for detecting voice commands). Has anyone tested how well the phone cancels out background noise? In other words, when you are in a noisy place, how much of the noise does your caller on the other end of the line hear?
In-call noise cancellation is an area with phones that has really languished and in fact mostly gone backwards, technologically. I still haven't seen a phone with better noise cancellation than my Nexus One (that used the amazing Audience chip, which no one uses anymore--because Qualcomm includes a noise cancellation function in their chipsets now, which is not as good, but, well, comes with the chipset at no extra cost.)
Secondarily, how is audio recording quality in videos?
Thanks for any feedback.
I would also love an answer to this. Reviews almost never mention how clear or understandable you are to people you call anymore.

Have not had one complaint coming from a S7 and G6 the essential is fantastic.
O wanna know where the 4 mics are! We've obviously got one on the bottom by the SIM, and one by the camera.
Where are the other 2? Perhaps one in each speaker grill (earpiece and large speaker)?

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.

I'm in the UK and also have great call quality, I've also noticed the HD icon during calls, wonder how this works?

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

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
