Are the Pixel speakers likely to be louder than the speakers on the Nexus 6P or HTC M8/M9?

Just wish Google would get their act together and indicate the same specs for the Pixels in their different marketing areas...

From Play Store:
"Bottom-firing speaker • 3 microphones"

From Project Fi:
"Single powerful front-facing speaker
3 microphones (2 front, 1 rear) with noise cancellation"

The reviews are taking a lot of time to appear on the Internet...

There is still a media embargo, will likely see reviews tomorrow. Not uncommon at all.

I believe they would be close to the HTC 10 in terms of loudness but not necessarily louder than the HTC 10.

How do you know the embargo ends tomorrow?

Because its common practise with smartphone reviews. Most reviews come out 2 days or a day before the official phone release. The only reason you're not seeing any reviews is likely because of embargo. I can guarantee you that most pixel reviews have been ready since like 5 days ago tbh..

I think Tues or Weds is right for embargo, mine is Wednesday but it's not review so probably not the exact same date.

I've seen the reviews - they agree with me.


You say it isn't a middle of the road device and the only reason you can give to show that it isn't is "no lag". After the V20 is releases, the HTC 10 will literally have no class leading features. Even with the supposed lag of the Note 7, the Note 7 is still way faster than the HTC 10 in speed tests.

Lol, way faster to burn your house down too

I have seen some videos by some people havinf the Pixel and he compared the Sound with the 6P. It definitely seemed like it sounded louder than the 6P. I do not have the link as it has been deleted.
