Compared to what? Presently using an S8+ and the speaker is pretty good.

 

[Jewels81]

Definitely better than my note 5.

I'm deaf in one ear so one speaker is fine for me.

Okay, so it's a better speaker. Looking forward to it. Thanks.

I played a Spotify song at the same volume levels on each phone using my Note 5 and my Note 8

The Note 8 sound, albeit still a phone speaker, is heads and tails better than the Note 5

So far, this Note 8 is incredible!!!!!!!!!!

I don't think I'd qualify it as better, just louder.

Spotify has a history of app issues with lower volume.

I think is one of the best phone speakers Sammy has done in recent history

They do...... however I simply listened to one song at the same level on each phone (nothing to do with Spotify issues with lower volume), in fact the volume was higher vs lower..... and the Note 8 speakers were much much better, by loudness, by mid randomly, by overall clarity

Having said that, this is a single speaker on the bottom of a phone...... what's to be expected? Not to terribly much........

My experience is a little different. Mine is a little less loud than my s8+. I love my phone but I am dissapointed with my speaker.

I primarily only use speakers if I'm on a conference call which works great on this phone. If I need external audio I pair up with a jbl charge speaker which sounds great.

Definitely better than my note 5.

The note 5 has a good speaker

 

[Jewels81]

Yeah it does. Just think my note8 is better

I'll have to try Spotify on my Bluetooth speaker to see if there's any improved from the S8.

I forgot my headphones today, was at a bus stop, nobody else around, with fifteen minutes to wait so I fired up my Note 8 music player (Pi) and played three tracks off an old Afghan Whigs album I love, and admittedly, my old ears aren't great after years of concerts and records played at top volume but it sounds way better than it did on the last three phones I had (Pixel XL, LG G3 and a Samsung Galaxy S3). Good enough to make me happy anyway.

Yeah it does. Just think my note8 is better

I will have to see one day lol
