Only with subscription.

Got my Pixel 5 today. Used the phone to navigate home and it was plenty loud and clear. Just made one 20 minute phone call so far and it definitely sounds different than my 4XL but it's totally fine. Really not concerned about it all already.

You mean like this?

Nah, Apple won't include the handle until everyone else has it and they perfect it.

Apple doesn't need a handle since the cup is thermally insulated

And somehow, they made it proprietary.

Maybe I was just fortunate to pick up a particularly good one at Best Buy, but after a little more than two days with my Pixel 5, I can say without reservation that the sound quality overall is equal to or better than the P2XL that I replaced. On phone calls, the ear speaker and microphone deliver voice sound that seems undiminished in volume and clarity from what I experienced on the P2XL. Moreover, both my wife and I were surprised to find that the ringtones and notification sounds coming from the Pixel 5 are substantially louder than on the P2XL -- which is an enormous benefit to senior citizens like us.

I don't dispute the legitimacy of reports from other purchasers who seem to be encountering less satisfactory sound quality on their Pixel 5 phones. But whether it's due to manufacturing variances or subjective differences, I believe that prospective purchasers would be well advised to test the device for themselves before concluding that it should be rejected based on deficiencies in sound quality.

I too am having difficulty understanding people's issue with the speaker. I've now made numerous phone calls,used navigation and had notifications on plus watched a few videos (talking not music) and really have no issues with the front speaker.

There is no problem with the speaker. I believe this "issue" only came up because someone realized that the P5 had an in-display speaker and set out to find problems with it. The speaker isn't a 10, more like a solid 7, but if you listened to it in-call or used as a speakerphone without knowing this, you'd not notice any issues.

I believe it's safe to say it's acceptable for many but not for all. To say there is no problem or there aren't any issues excludes those that have legitimate issues.
