Very clear voice quality
My mother doesn't hear real well, and says she has a hard time understanding people on the phone, but she said I am very clear and can understand me very well! People I am talking to sound very clear to me also, so I think the sound is excellent. I use a plantronics bluetooth, so don't know if that makes a difference or not.
Thank you.
After using the phone for some time I can confirm call quality to be excellent.
I have to say, the Samsung Galaxy S7 definitely has the best call quality on a smart phone... BUT, this definitely comes in second place. The curved top part of the device with the earphone placement is genius. You don't have to press you're whole cheek or whole ear against the phone, just lean in a little bit and you can hear perfectly. It doesn't get tiring having it on one ear, like on my other phones, after a while I have to move it to another ear. It's loud as well so you may need to turn it down a bit once you put it up to you're ear, but not ear piercing loud. It is as crystal as it gets but this phone has EXTREME noise canceling, which is great, but it literally can't hear anyone talking in the background or the TV, just you. You have to yell really loud if you're in the background and you want the other person to hear you. Some guy blasted his loud speaker walking past me one day and my friend on the phone could barely hear it, it just sounded like a tiny buzz to her. Samsung still takes the cake. Even if you have one bar the quality is good, and the LTE calling is pretty good too.
Just chiming in as well. T-Mobile h918 and the call quality is great whether on voLTE, HD voice or not. I have used a Verizon S7 and a T-Mobile S7 edge and have noticed no difference in quality compared to my V20 so far.

As the tittle says
Do you find the Vibrator servo weak or strong enough?
Personally i find it a bit weak compared to my older phones
When it vibrates unless i'm next to it, i wont even hear/feel it
if i leave it at the coffee table, and i'm working at the room next door, no doors, i wont even know a phone or message came through.
Speakers are super good, i can be on the far end of the house/office, and still hear it from the other end
I am fairly sure you are not intended to hear the motor, its supposed to be for silent alerts in your pocket. I realise most are audible but pretty sure it is not the actual idea.
Feel it though, yeah I find it pretty strong when it is actually receiving a call on my belt holder, not so much for haptic feedback. I think it feels quite "tight" compared to previous phones too, it really seems to be sharp start and finish motor wise and I can only really refer to the feeling as "bouncy" which I quite like.
There are of course stronger ones out there, but this is a pretty slim phone.
The loudspeaker though I am seriously disappointed by, it is ok when open but I can nearly silence it with a single finger over the opening on the case, so when it is in a pocket outside I find it to be pretty useless. It is also easily muffled if left ontop of a slightly soft surface.
The Motorola Milestone was super loud by comparison, and the audio quality of the Milestone was simply superior in all cases - I miss that aspect. Apparently a lot of Droid owners had audio problems but I think that was less of a case with the Euro firmware.
no, i was not refering to loud "motor" rather when the vibration shakes the phone and it rattles on the desk, it doesn't rattle loud enough.
compared to Treos or BlackBerries i've used in the past
I realised but I think did not reply very well. I just can't think of a better term than tight for the motor though, it seems to be quick and sharp which I feel against my skin quite easily but is perhaps too quick to allow for much up/down motion against a hard surface. It sort of feels more like a buzzing of an electric shaver to me.

yeah, exactly that's how it feels and sounds when placed on a table
it doesn't produce enough vibration to make a noticeable sound
I've had several people complain about the quality of my calls since getting the Note 4. I mainly use the speaker phone and it seems that it's very picky on positioning to work perfectly. Sometimes people say they can't hear me, sometimes they say there's a lot of echoing, it's pretty frustrating. I'm coming from a Moto X where I also used the speaker phone extensively and never got a single complaint. Anybody else notice this? Any tips?
No issues here I came from an s5 so call quality still the same for so far
Are you using any case? Are you certain all Mic holes and whatnot are absolutely uncovered?
Good point about the case my wife had a case that affected both call quality and signal
It's not the case, I have the one where the top and bottom mic holes aren't covered at all. The issue is specifically with the speaker phone, normal calls are fine.
Moved thread to Q&A where it belongs. Please post in correct sections, thanks.

It's muffled and distorts. Ss-sounds are almost inadible during calls and there's a "fuzz" on louder sounds. Annoying. Hopefully they can fix it in a software update.
It's not as clear and loud as G4.
Volume is pretty good but the clarity is only so-so in my opinion. Coming from the One M8, which was my last phone, the speakers could use improvement.
How do others hear you when loadspeaker is on? Do they hear you clear? Or they constantly asking you to repeat what you just said?

I've used it a couple times and haven't had anyone complain about not being able to hear me.
Speakers
I come from note 3 and the speaker volume and clarity is clearly better than the note 3 or any other devices i have seen. I also own Sennheiser HD 650 and can confirm that onboard DAC is quite effective for high impedance headphones. Also for car audio and bose earphone i own show the benefit of auto upscaling of music i own. Very pleased with the purchase so far and still awaiting for the promotion i applied for!
it is pretty loud actually.. and the clarity is not bad for only 1 speaker
I think it fair to good. Good enough for speakerphone conversations even in mildly noisy environments, but not great for music listening ( compared to Nexus 6P ). I think the microphone quality is excellent as some people have been unable to tell that I'm on speakerphone.
Mine is good. bottom firing speaker.. you can use your hand and kind of cup the bottom of the phone.. makes it quite a bit louder.. other times I actually turn the phone upside down so the speaker is pointed up at my face. Seems adequate for me in clarity and volume.
Works fine for me.
Much improved from the G2. While on that phone, anytime I used speaker, the person on the end always said "did you put me on speaker???". And reception was awful as well.
The V10 is clear and loud enough. Not one person has even asked.

The speaker is mediocre only. But this is compensated by the superior sound coming from the headphone jacket.
speaker is really bad
i had mate 8 it has way better speaker quality with good bass

Great call quality on the t285 (normal calls)
Review for normal call function, not speaker phone.
Call quality is really good, the main phone speaker is very large, it needs to be turned down to be less audible to others and to hold phone closer to ear (ok, tablet, but i use it as phone). Friends and family hear me really very well. Because the tablet is bigger and heavier than a real phone, the speakers and mic can be bigger I guess. phone calls are very functional on this device, as good as any real phone i have used, only it looks a bit daft due to 7" size.
(at last a general consumer question i can actually answer lol!)
With google dialer set up my t550 makes absolutely perfect calls. Obviously on speaker phone only

I was astonished when I heard the speakers for myself, they are really loud but clear!
they're good, but not great.
I like the speakers, but they need some tweaking, the sound isn't as full bodied as my HTC One M7 was. They're clear sounding, but a bit tinny for my taste. I'll be happy when some eq mods get implemented.
I was really pleasantly surprised by them. They are just as loud as my Nexus 6P WITH the Viper4Android soundboost all the way up. Once I get V4A on the Pixel 2 I wonder just how loud it will actually get. Sounds amazing for such a small phone too, wow.
Got mine in yesterday. nice crisp clear sound... but the earpiece speaker is treble biased, and the bottom speaker is bass biased...
Makes things sound really weird when listening to music or watching movies in landscape...
I am getting an exchange unit and will update when that unit comes in.
Update: Exchange unit came in... I've been using it for a few days now, and I have noticed no difference from my last unit... an hour on the phone with google device engineers got me the response that this is by design to increase the frequency range... I still don"t like it as it bothers me..
who wants to buy a gently used pixel2?

The same situation. Is it feature or defect? Can anybody confirm it? Thanks.
Anyone's speakers distorting or crackling? Coming from iPhone 7. Speakers on iphone are not loud, but they do sound good. Pixel 2 by comparison is tinny and crackle at higher volumes.
Coincidentally, I'm RMAing the Pixel 2 right now for ticking noise in earpiece and constant high frequency emission. Wondering if maybe my speakers are no bueno too. No one else seems to have the speaker distortion or at least too early.
Edit: I was playing "Bridge Burn" by little comets when i noticed. Then played thievery corporation's "Culture of Fear". Maybe someone else can compare?

My speakers seem to rattle a little at max volume, even just with Google Assistant or navigating. Haven't noticed any issues on calls though I haven't made a lot since I got my Pixel 2.
Overall quality seems all right a few notches down from max, but is quite noticeably worse than my nexus 6.

Could anybody check if speakers are producing the same sound (you can cover it by finger). My unit's top speaker has more hights, bottom one has more mids and bass. Maybe it's by design. I am not sure. Thank you.

Yes, absolutely agree with you. Bottom is far better at base and mids. Top speaker is opposite.

It could be related to separate dedicated drivers in each speaker (Allowing for larger respective drivers), or simply an equalization software aspect.

Ditto here. Noticed it right out of the box. Top is treble biased, bottom is bass. It seems design derivative. Also possible too because the top speaker is also used for earpiece/speakerphone?
Waiting for more confirmation from google whether this is real or defect. Good to hear from here I'm not the only one.
No issue though with the phone so far.

The are crystal clear but when I compare them to my nexus 6, the bass is better on the nexus

Also have the ticking sound, and so so sounding speakers. Trying to RMA. Apparently turning off NFC is supposed to help with the ticking sound. Haven't done it myself....too many digital reward cards
Noticed quite a bit of distortion when navigating at max volume. The voice is full bodied and, combined with the software EQ choice, I think it hits that perfect low-mid tone and overpowers the speakers. Stepping it down two notches basically eliminates it. Also noticed that the speakers are very directional compared to the OG pixel XL. Had both devices playing the same music and Pixel 2 audio disappears when faced away compared to the OG pixel which was much more audible when the speaker was pointed away. I think the amount of bass they are trying to offer is lofty and unattainable and the device would sound better with a bit more mid and less extreme treble and bass. If I decide to keep this device I'll be praying for the dev community to offer up some display and audio tweaks. P.S. I haven't noticed the ticking/noise from the speakers on my device but I think if they dropped this ultra hifi EQ choice, a slight drop in highs would probably make it much less noticeable or might make it disappear completely if the frequency could be isolated and cut (I'm looking at you 6kHz and above).
Can anyone get me /etc, /lib & /bin folders? I might take a look if there is any ways to improve your device's speakers
