has audio recording quality improved?

[emmanuelw]

Hi

I would like to know about the quality of the microphones in the pixel 3 regular please, I read here on XDA that now there is stereo recording, I also read the phones come with three microphones now, can someone please report on the quality of audio recording? Better yet with demonstrations?

Thanks a lot!

Haven't seen anything official but people have reported that its stereo now.

I thought it was always stereo. Only iPhones recorded in mono for the longest time.

Pretty confident last Pixels where mono.
I think Samsung and others may have done stereo longer.

Very few if any tech reviewers appear to have tested this, but from the videos I've seen its tinny and poor quality again

I can no longer trust tech reviewers to truly dive into any analysis of how these phones perform. They all rush through the same talking points to get their review published first. They read more like a press release, touting new features, instead of a genuine review of those features.

Here's a review/comparison. The pixel 3 comes in a little way into the video.

Here's a direct comparison with the iPhone. The pixel is terrible. How could they ship something this bad?

Stereo now but still seems far away

They tend to focus on pics not videos.

Yup, seems to be horrible. Not so much an issue for me.
For Video-people, at least now you have the possibility to connect an external mic: Pixel 3 to finally let you use external mic when recording video
