Does anyone yet know how the speaker (and headphone) quality & loudness compare to other phones
Especially the Z & Z Ultra as the waterproofing evidently degraded the sound volume and quality.
Hoping it's been rectified this time.
There's a video on speaker sound comparison between Z1 and HTC One if u like to watch

The HTC One seems to have better sound for me
I wouldn't expect it to be, tbh, as long as it's better than the Z and loud enough, that's fine for me.
It sound loud enough fr me, but hey nobody want to hear your music, thats why we got an earphone

The HTC one has the best sound of all android phones due to beats and boomsound. I found that the Z1 speakers were not as loud as my S3 speakers but the sound out of them was definitely was of a better quality. Headphones was good but I need to mess around more with the settings etc to confirm!

Comparing to other phones I have, the Z1 speaker is obviously not as good as my One nor the S4 (I9500). It's about on par with my N7 which isn't bad but not at the top of end either.

Hey mate, I compared the Z and the Z1 video playback (speakers) on my hands on video. Here is the link if you wanna check it out:

Well, I'm using XS with AC!D sound engine and sound is pretty good, I'll buy a Z1 in the next month just hope that AC!D team will support Z1 in the next versions.

Hello,
I would like to buy a Xperia Z3c and I have a question. I do not play so much games , but I watch a lot of videos on Youtube or movies on the Internet . I wonder if the Z3C is not to small for watching videos or movies ? Opinions ? Thank You

Answering purely from a screen size perspective. I'm using a Moto E (4.5in), previously used Z1 (5.0in). 4.6in size (Z3c) is best for one handed usage, calling, texting and getting things done. For Movies and YouTube (as you said), you'll be better with a 5.5in phone. Best option would be to go to a store and try a few phones in person. Or search for a bigger display at http://www.gsmarena.com/search.php3
The phone is small, but that is the reason I bought it. I use the sony xperia z3 compact tablet for media. Still the best tablet in my opinion.

Save the cash and go for the Z5 Compact, I love my Z3 Compact but the build quality especially the flaps is really not what I would call sturdy, while the Z5 Compact has a more sturdy frame, and an updated processor/gpu combo which makes it better for your money

While I agree to all of your points, none of them is relevant in Chris576's case.

It says there that he recorded that with htc m9 camera port. Did you try it?
I'm looking to record some local live music events and am wondering how the audio quality is when recording video on the P20 Pro. Does it distort and become shrill at higher volume levels? (not stadium concert-level - more like a band at a bar or similar).
I realize for best results an external mic is preferred, but I don't have one just yet. Currently I'm using a Note 8 and it does fairly well, but I wanted something with better battery life.

I tried recording audio at an outdoor concert and the audio was unusable. It was an older software version but I am unsure it'll be any better on .110 update.
Has anyone tried any external mic on the p20 pro? i tried using it but it doesnt detect the external mic and records with the internal mic.

I tried recording a video with audio at the concert and it was not bad at all. I'm on 152 firmware.

Thank you so much for this post djl!!! I might be buying this so that's important.
On a scale of 1-10, how clear would you say it was from the last couple concerts you attended took video recordings of?? Your response would be GREATLY appreciated!! :good:

I think it would be better if you'll listen for your selves. Here is the link for a recording of a little performance in a shopping center https://mega.nz/#!fxwmwCRC!aPdjZ3r_26vEEFuFz-v4mnWtyM7UIS4n4DjrsfnMHkA

Well, I used it for a very loud Guns n Roses concert, and the bass totally destroyed higher tones. The phone muted sound when bass appeared, and videos were useless

Hmm ok. Hopefully they fix that in an update or at least on the P30 Pro.
I went ahead and got the OnePlus 6T, but there's a good chance I may upgrade again in the spring to either the Sony Xperia XZ3 Premium (or XZ4 Premium?), Samsung S10+, OnePlus 7, or P30 Pro. We'll see.

I use the Galaxy S9+ for now. The video performance is much better, and pictures does not look oil painted.
When I zoomed at pictures at P20 they went bad very quickly, were S9+ are much better. Maybe why is not possible to zoom much at stock Huawei gallery
I had some lag at wifi remote Logitech hub, thats gone on S9+, lag at Google Photos is also gone, all notifications is 100%, while P20 were close from Huawei standard, On dual SIM I can see who's calling on second SIM while talking on first, which never happened on P20
, much better vibration on T9+, But P20 pro did have better battery life, about 1 hour more, while I never ran out on juice at S9+ with easy wireless charge. And P20 has the infrared remote too.
I do look forward to Galaxy S10+ and did not bather the Mate 20 pro where problems are similar to P20 pro

Nice! Yeah that was the issue I had with the Xperia XZ3 that just came out. Love the phone overall, but the camera was a letdown. It was great at outdoor photos and selfies, but indoor not so much. Def had some of that "oil painting" issue as well. Sony f'd that up b/c the previous phone, the XZ2 Premium, had like an excellent camera on it including a dual lens, where the XZ3 is single lens. But the XZ2 P's screen was a step back as it was LCD, and it didn't have T-Mobile VoLTE either. Anyway.........wow really? Ok. My issue with the Samsung and Apple (and even Huawei) phones is they don't seem to be color accurate, but instead tend to gravitate towards "warmer tones". Some ppl like that, but I don't. But for everything else they seem great.
Wow you're making me happy I didn't get the P20 Pro. I ACTUALLY ordered it last weekend but then cancelled it on Amazon before it shipped. lol And so yeah instead now I got the OnePlus 6T coming from T-Mobile. (trading in my LG V30 to T-Mobile for that $300 trade-in deal they had going). With the modded GCam app from XDA, the pics should come out really nice, though not from what I can see of samples, still not AS nice as Samsung's, Sony's, Apple's and Pixel's. So I dunno. But it might surprise me too! The XDA devs are constantly improving it. And when I compared it using the STOCK 6T camera to my LG V30 + its GCam mod, the 6T was actually a bit more detailed and color-accurate too. So it's up in the air now as to how good it will be. I just hate buying unlocked phones when it comes to reception. T-Mobile's about to deploy Band 71 (aka 600 MHz) in my area (Chicagoland) by year's end, and yeah Samsung will have it esp if I get a phone from them from T-Mobile, but Sony and Huawei? Nope. Hopefully next year they both will though. It's like come on be more competitive guys! lol Even unlocked 6T has it, so what's their excuse? lol
Yeah P20 Pro's battery is great, and 6T's is rated 1 hour higher on GSM Arena, which is nice. P20 Pro's is rated 3 hours higher than the S9+. That was another draw but in the end, I was made to believe the 6T with GCam mod could come very close in at least daytime shots, and with it having Pixel's Night Sight ported, I thought it could do the same for night. I don't know if that will actually happen though. We'll see. Phone comes within the next few days.
Yeah the S10+ is on my list so I will check it out. I just WISH Samsung would stop with the warmer tones. If they had I very seriously would've considered the Note 9 or S9+. The Mate 20 Pro................didn't have T-Mo VoLTE, so that was an instant fail for me. But if it had I would've prob got that over the 6T cuz I think slightly better camera than P20 Pro. The P20 Pro's Night Mode though is ridiculous. No other camera comes close. I guess it's really hard to find the perfect phone, esp if you're kinda picky about certain things like me. lol

Yes I can confirm it. Exactly the same happened with me on GNR this summer.
They say the newer Mate 20 Pro improved upon the video quality, so I guess you can always upgrade to that too, or wait for the P30 Pro. Though what sux is because of all this crap about Huawei being spies, it seems that the reception quality will suffer. The P20 Pro for example had VoLTE on it and therefore for like T-Mobile, you could access their Band 12 radio band, which has twice the range and four times the capability to penetrate through walls & buildings.
On T-Mobile, you can only access it if the phone is certified with them, which many unlocked phones are, but many aren't. The P20 Pro was, but the Mate 20 Pro wasn't, which is why despite wanting it (Mate 20 Pro) badly, I ended up getting the OnePlus 6T through a great T-Mobile promotion. Not sure if VoLTE works on Verizon or AT&T, but maybe? You'd have to check on here. HOPEFULLY the P30 Pro though will have it and also Band 71 too, which T-Mobile is currently deploying all over the place, and should be mostly done doing by the end of this year. Neither the P20 Pro or Mate 20 Pro has that, but I'm hoping the P30 Pro will. However, the way things are going, I have strong doubts.
My p20 pro audio quality during live video recording at concerts also sucks
have the same issue with p20 pro. after giving it so many tries recording live videos for bands and live music, i can finally say that my samsung s8 plus owns the p20 pro in recording in concerts/bars/loud music anyday*
Its worth noting that my s8 plus audio input/output is at MONO which has the small single speaker next to the charging port. not sure if the fact thats its mono makes it recorder clearer audio? Or perhaps it has noise cancelling feature in the software.*
For the P20 pro, I hope someone has a solution for this noisy live recording issue. I tried to play with the camera setting and audio setting but same results.
I' have same Issue ?.
There is a software way to Fix it? Seams that this phone have some sorta of audio filters enabled
Hello,
I've had my Xperia 1ii for 2 weeks now and have noticed when filming video in the camera app or cinema pro, there is a kind of high pitch whine on playback. When testing in Instagram/Snapchat/WhatsApp it isn't as bad but there's still a little random noise.
Has anyone else experienced this or is the phone faulty?
Thanks
Read that somewhere, turn down microphone sensitivity. Spose to fix it.

I also have the same issue. I had the Xperia 5 and had the same noise. It really bothers me during any video recording, especially when it's quiet.

It's so loud, I'd say it's like a high pitch ringing bell on my phone, surely this isn't what most people are experiencing?
I think I'm going to go for a replacement and hope the new one isn't as bad.

Please keep us posted if you do change your phone. I think I will have to return mine and will wait it out.

I've decided to keep it. Everyone I've spoken to about it have said they get the same issue so hopefully Sony will fix it in their next software update.
Of, it seems when ever you open either camera app or cinema pro app and place the phone near your ear, you can hear a hiss sound. I believe that's what's causing the hissing sound as it's being amplified by the microphones.
Maybe not everyone ears is as sensitive so might not notice it as much.

Sounds like the microphone software is set up higher than the hardware can physically handle and you're hearing the actual Hertz rate leak out electrically. Feature phones back in the day had that notorious high pitch ocilating whine.
It's not even noise, it's like an ocilating whine right?
That really sucks, the only solution is to turn down volume sensitivity, unless there's just a ground fault with the microphone design Sony is now using. That would be really bad because there's no fix to that.
Found the post I read a while ago, apparently it's the microphone picking up lens nose. That's all they put. Whether it's accurate or not I don't know.

It seems to just happen in Sony's apps so hopefully after a software update it'll be normal. When using video in Instagram, WhatsApp and Snapchat the problem isn't there. Cinema pro is ridiculously sensitive, it'll pick up every normal foot step you make and play it back like you're stomping around a room.
I just did another test with some headphones plugged in while doing a video recording. It has stopped the hissing sound so hopefully a software fix can resolve this. Please test to see if you have notice an improvement
