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 Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra'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!

Unlike my previous phone the Mi 9, the 10 Ultra has proper stereo speakers.

They sound great for a phone. The high end is decently represented. There is bass but nothing crazy. Music just sounds full, perhaps comporable to a cheap small set of Bluetooth speakers.

One thing to note. There is one speaker on the bottom and one on the top (the design is like a small grill of tiny holes). I like this as it adds to the stereo separation in landscape. I can see how it would be better this way for games and videos. It just confused me at first!

I feel like the volume is as good as you can expect. Quality is average, not bad at all but many flagship phones I've heard just sound more clear. I'd give it 8/10 comparing it to the best of the best flagship speakers.

how does it feel holding the device in landscape for games or video viewing since the top speaker is on the edge of the phone as seen in photo below
i feel like my hands will be blocking the audio output from top speaker??

Top speaker seems a little quiet but no worse balanced than any other stereo phone has been.

does your hand block the top speaker in landscape mode? as the top speaker (not talking about the speaker grill) is actually on the frame/edge of the device

The top speaker is in the middle of the frame more or less, so when I'm holding it landscape it is visible over my hands, the bottom corners are on my palms

If you hold it so the bottom speaker is on the left, nothing is covered at all! (because the bottom speaker is off-centre)

It's really can not say good. Speaker sound not “transparent” enough and rough. iPhone 11 pro max sounds way more better than XiaoMi 10 ultra.

I have an issue with Mi 10 ultra.
During the call connecting, or during the call(be it normal voice calls or Video calls in whatsapp/duo), if the speaker gets activated on the phone, a strange noise comes out from the ear piece/ear speaker. This noise is more noticiable when i put the phone near my ear.
Have anyone experienced the issue? what shall i do, please suggest

Is it getting feedback from the mic / top speaker? As you get it closer, the mic will pick up the speaker more as the doing bounces off you being so close. I have not noticed it on mine but I will try to use speaker phone on a call to see.

Hi,

i am not sure about the bouncing thing, but i have not noticed the same in OnePlus 5t or samsung note plus, both on the same network.
Its noticiable more clearly, when you bring it near the ear.
you need not be to be an actual call, just dial a valid number and switch the speaker on , so that you can hear the ring and then bring the phone near your ear.
