No, not through speaker phone, just through normal calls with speaker phone off and phone held to my ear.

Haven't taken calls on speaker so can't comment on that. But the speaker through YouTube is pretty mediocre. Not anything special. It does the job I guess, but not something I would listen to for any extended period of time.

I'm really disappointed by the reviews so far as it pertains to the lack lister speaker volume/quality. While the other pluses such as excellent battery life, reverse charging, RFPS, and top notch camera quality will be great, I really want a complete package. I'll wait until I get mine in my hands to compare with my P4XL but if I'm not completely satisfied, I'll just return it and keep my 4XL which is running fine for awhile longer.

See, for me though, bad speaker quality isn't a big deal to me. Whenever I'm enjoying the media on my phone, I'm usually using my pixel buds anyways so it's not a big deal. I'm really looking forward to the massive amount of battery life that the phone has though! That's for sure. And in the future when 5 years available the 5G networking as well.

Good point, forgot about my pixel buds. I’m still excited but definitely gotta put it through some tests

Oh yeah, when I first bought my Pixel 3 XL, I was so excited about the stereo speakers on it. However, I admittedly barely ever use them for music or YouTube. I'm always on my pixel buds no matter what. I know a lot of people love listening to music, but it's a non-issue for me!

It's not just the speaker though, the call volume is horrible. So hard to hear people when there's outside noise. It's because the top speaker has nowhere for the sound to come out from - there's no speaker grille at the top of the phone. So when I'm taking a call normally and holding the phone to my ear, the sound is really, really bad. That's a legitimate problem.

Thanks for the feedback !

I hardly ever use speaker phone. But if the the loudness on normal calls is poor. Then I agree its a problem. I still have time to cancel my order. Anyone else saying they can't hear calls well when not on speaker?? Thanks

I hardly ever use speaker phone. Who's the loudness on normal calls, are people saying they can't hear the other person when not on speaker?? Thanks

Yeah, see I'm wondering the same thing. I usually use speakerphone on calls unless I'm on my pixel buds.
