I am hearing impaired and when talking on the N4 I sometimes have a hard time hearing the person on the other end. I wanted to know if the N5 is louder in this situation? Thanks in advance.

No one really has input on this? I just wanted to know which is louder when talking on the phone. This will help me to determine if i make a purchaser on the N5.
Thanks in advance.

Yes, they do.
:S
What do you want to know? No ear is he same as another, so my perception of the speaker qulaity-wise would probably be useless to you (as my hearing is probably either better or worse than yours). Volume to me is OK, and if you'd red up on a few reviews, you'd have noticed they are generally favorable s to the definition and volume of the onboard speaker.

It's just that the placement is god-awful and there's only one lol. I can live with that though...

Being that it is a single speaker and rear facing, I wanted to know if it was loud enough to hear Skype conversations with it. I had TF Prime when they first came out and an assuming that the speaker is the same?

I think it's pretty much the same. Maybe better, I don't know I haven't played with either yet lol.

I don' t have a cover.
Yeap, same thing here...
Arent other people facing this issue?
Even a lot of online reviews mentioned this. But i never thought the mic quality is going to be this troublesome.
I tried calling myself on an Atrix/Galaxy S/Galaxy note
I myself find the microphone quality quite cheap. It picks up the slightest of nicks and bumps but its definitely too muddy for the other persons comfort!!
The call volumes were very low on my G2 and Sensation in the past. They fixed that but messed up the microphone quality!
Seriously disappointing. Not buying a HTC device ever again!
btw. Not using a case or anything.

Hello,
Just got my nexus 5 and my called someone, and with the volume all the way up, there is a strange... rattle when people speak, especially women at a higher pitched voice. It didn't happen at all on the Galaxy 4 i just traded in.
Its hard to explain, like maybe a blown speaker or damaged speaker... Does anyone else get crappy quality calls when the volume is all the way up? I can completely hear the voices on the other end, just rattles at high volumes.
This doesnt happen on speaker phone.
Thanks!

May be a network issue
If it's same for all the calls then it's a problem with your device.

It is the same for all calls... It was not like this with my previous phone with the same provider, so ill bring it back to T mobile and get a new one, only had it for a week.
Hi. When i am on a call, a squeaky sound comes from handset. It doesnt come when playing music. I mean when the person who I am speaking to speaks a squeaky voice comes with his voice. What can i do about it?

Same here. As I thought that the headset mic is really really sensitive, and maybe the button it is moving and this is what we hear, but I'm not sure.
I read that being on 5 ghz wifi causes noise from the earpeice, there was a fix to reduce it but the best way to get rid of it was to switch to 2.4 ghz. Don't know if this works but thought I'd pass it along.
Hi,
how is the loudspeaker quality for people who already own the phone?
For me the speakers are not that great. Especially the top one in the earpiece. Calls aren't that great and listening to voice messages or even videos and music is just ok.
I get scratching in the top one pretty early. It depends on the audio quality/source but sometimes it already scratches around 60% of max volume. Especially in calls and voice messages.
It sound very good. Less bass then my s21U, but still ok. Calls are very ok too.
So no scratching for you?
I have got an S20 here and it definitely has a better sound quality with less distortion/scratching...
I was quite impressed. Especially in flex mode when both speakers face forward. Definitely one of the highlights of this phone if you ask me.
So no scratching when listening to voice mails on higher volumes? Just tried video and there the quality is fine. It is voices where my speaker struggles.
The sound Quality if better (subjectively) than my S21+, which I traded in. Less tinny and no distortion so far on loudspeaker call in flex mode.
So in my experience the speakers especially the one on the top is worst than the ones of the S20 which is sad.
One thing I noticed in addition to the bad sound quality is that the speaker grill of the earpiece doesn't cover the 3 holes completely. I am able to look through the holes. The grill only covers a part of the holes. Haven't seen this before. Can anybody confirm this or do I indeed have a faulty product?
I will try to describe this as best I can and you can decide if this is the same thing or if yours appears to be missing parts.
I have the three holes. Inside them, there is what looks like plastic coming from the top that covers about half of the opening. If I angle the phone to see into the gap, there is another cover under it.

Ok, I guess than it's supposed to be like that. Looks a bit weird to me.
How is the sound quality on your end? The quality itself is ok for me, what annoys me is the distortion I get pretty early around 60-70% of max volume depending on the audio. Especially calls, video calls and voice messages get distorted really quickly. Video and music mostly seem to be fine.

Haven't made any real calls yet, but everything else seemed normal. I should probably test that before the return period runs out. I'll let you know.

Feedback is appreciated . Voice messages in Whatsapp for example, same for Whatsapp and Duo video calls and phone calls as well... Distortion and scratching in the upper range coming out of the earpiece/upper speaker.
I have to decide if I keep the device until Saturday. It would be great if a few more people who own the phone could give some feedback regarding the loudspeaker of the phone during voice and video calls and voice messages
Sounds defective. Just finished testing and it was not only clear, but loud. I know with previous phones, I couldn't hear a thing at any less than one step below the max volume. I had this one at half and it was just as loud. If you happened to start at max, it's possible a speaker blew out. The thing they never tell you is that they aren't truly meant to run at that volume for anything more than a minute or two.

Thanks for the feedback. What confuses me is that I get the distortion only in calls or voice messages. No problems when listening to music or videos.

I have heard rumors the speakers are separate between the two, but I'm not sure.
I know Samsung tends to send phones to be repaired over replaced, even when it just released last week. Hopefully they don't give you any trouble if you decide to flat out return it, though.

Yeah the service is ridiculous. I love Android and use it for years for various reasons. But these encounters with bad service drag my mind towards apple. I already contacted Samsung. They offered an exchange. But I have to send in my flip first. As this is currently my only phone due to sending my S20 in for the trade-in I will not be able to do that. I am using the phone with dual sim for private and business purposes. I will try to force Samsung to send me a new one prior to sending mine back. If they don't accept I will withdraw my order and get something else. The trade-in might get me into trouble as it seems. Will never purchase over Samsung directly again. Never had issues with Amazon or apple...
