What is the "confessional"?

What is the "confessional"?

Where Catholics tell the priest all the naughty things they have been doing and thinking.

From the hands on videos and forum comments I've seen, the p5 speakers are trash. That's disappointing since i thought the 4xl speakers were great.
I guess there are going to be trade offs to keep the price down, but it makes it harder to consider upgrading.

Nah leave it on... I bet the ads, Google Assistant responses, suggestions etc would be hilarious. Or get you sued/divorced/thrown in jail lol.

The speakers sound horrible. Could be a deal breaker.

I think we need more testing than in this video environment...

I read in a review it's from a company google bought but similar technology to the LG attempt in 2018 or something.

They rushed this to early the speaker under the display.

I'm so disappointed with this subpar speaker. I listen to the speakers most of the time, with Pixel buds the rest. I've been with Nexus/Pixel phones so long, I don't even know what's a second choice.

Yet another consequence of the "bezels are evil" thinking.

No not from less bezel, the new under the display speaker they should of waited in that tech to release .

They are beyond evil

I think Bill's point is this is a result of bezel hate.

The lesser sounding speakers is a big sticking point for me purchasing this phone. My pixel 2 which I still use sounds way better. I think this speaker tech is a big step back. Won’t be buying this and disappointing because my pixel 2 may very well not last another year.
Being on Verizon there are basically 4 choices for phones, Moto, Apple, Sams hung, and pixel. What to do? Sams hung and Moto are out, been there done that. Sometimes wish HTC was still in the ballgame. They made some fine devices back in their day. I have an iPhone so I can limp along till pixel 6 but geez Louise those speakers are damn disappointing. I’d much prefer a top bezel just big enough to accommodate a front facing speaker and none of this speaker under glass BS.
And while I’m ranting might as well say a top speaker accommodating bezel could also house the hole punch cam. Don’t like the whole hole punch thing at all.

Right, and why do they have an under-display speaker? Because they wanted to get rid of bezels. Good front-firing stereo speakers like on the Pixel 2 and 3 are rendered impossible if there's no bezel (even a minimal one).

Maybe in a few years, bezels will become ironically retro-cool again.

They should did like Samsung O-display with earpiece on top between glass and frame and would of been good . Pixel 4xl has pretty good speakers also .
