Speakerphone (loudness, clarity)

[XDA_RealLifeReview]

Proper etiquette aside (hint: don't use speakerphone while doing your "business" in a public bathroom), rate this thread to express how you think the Asus ZenFone 3 Zoom's speakerphone performs. A higher rating indicates that you love it: it's loud and it's clear.

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Speakerphone is sufficiently loud. Lacking in bass/lower frequencies. Nougat update removed the audio wizard that allowed you to tweak the sound frequency bands.

After handling the phone in the shower with fingers with soap - not much - bubbles got into the speaker and after 10 hours it still hasn't recovered. Sounds horrible, I mean there's sound but it's distorted and I don't think it's as loud as before. Going to the store to test out a new model and if a speakerphone can't recover 10 hours after being lightly exposed to hand soap bubbles, then maybe this phone isn't for me.

For me, its good, sound is clear and for voice is just fine. Music/videos also work fine but sometimes equalizer doesn't seem to work that well. For the price, I think its ok.

I wasn't removed, its under Settings->Sound&Vibration->AudioWizard

Loud speaker is decent, but the headpiece is crap. I have mine on max, and often at crowed environment like restaurant, I struggle to hear. If it at noisy environment such as stadium or bar, forget about hear anything over the headpiece.

AudioWizard on ZE553KL is useless... There isn't enough step of EQ band to adjust anything really meaningful out of the POS. Don't get me wrong, I like my phone much more than the Samsungs... But the audio quality is something I tend to forget and will never consider to use as music player.... Unless you play games or watch supported movies, Dolby Atom is useless... Despite I haven't upgrade to Nougat yet, it a function I won't miss.
