There's no feedback here? How is this phone's call quality. I've got mine on order coming from a Nexus 6p (and my backup Moto X Pure) both of which had excellent quality. Thanks in advance.

Top notch. Loud and clear. In a quiet room anyone sitting next to me is able to overhear the caller.

Calls are clear and crisp. I can hear the other party clearly and they can hear me. Doing a lot of calls cause it is a business phone - no negative issue at all.
By the way... Better than mate8 or honor6 I used before.

thanks

Call quality as already mentioned is top quality. Even speaker phone is loud and clear.

Even the noisy environment is the big volume which can be caught.

Yep, call audio quality is really good.

Yes, the quality of the calls are really good.

I almost always use loudspeaker during driving, as there is no need to use the handsfree. The call quality is as good as ever.

Clearest audio from a cell phone I've ever had
I recently had the opportunity to record my outgoing voicemail message. When I played it back to make sure I was happy with it, I could not believe how clear it was. You couldn't hear any background hiss or anything. It sounds crystal clear. The speaker in the phone is incredible but evidently the microphone is excellent as well.

Ive got a mate 9 pro on t mobile, and call quality is outstanding as well..

Same here, as good as my s7edge on HD voice honestly.

this phone is my love

Quite loud, but sounds like the sound is heavily muffled (like coming out from a box or something, not 100 % clear) or filtered - people just don't sound like they should when I'm talking with them. And I have to be really damn precise where I place my phone next to my ear to get all out of it, never ever had similar problems with my old phones. For example, my previous Motorola Nexus 6 had much better call voice quality, but a noticeably lower volume. My only real complaint with this phone is this thing, "bad" call sound quality.

The build in speaker is pretty bad.
Microphone cutting out during calls
I am afraid to report that my S7 edge microphone is cutting out during calls, and that it sometimes simply drops calls. I have an Exynos version on Swisscom, and I will unfortunately return the phone within the two week-return period .
Am I the only one affected by this issue?
My speaker start making noise within the call and almost muted. Also when I talk longer somehow something switching- I can hear it and then adding like a 'echo '. Difficult to explain.
and the quality is way worst than iPhone 6+
My earphone started making popping - clicking like sounds when the other person is speaking. It is kinda irritating. Any body else has the same?

Check speaker with *#0*# code
Same problem here. Speaker sounds ok on all three frequencies.
The problem is only there when I am talking to someone via gsm network. Not on viber or listening to music. Please note that I have used same gsm network number on other phone and it works well.
Beep sound
The only problem i have with the s7 edge calling speaker is the *BEEP* sound when calling someone. It sounds distorted.
Maybe it's my carrier.
Anyone else?
During my test of low frequencies, the clear sound was only in 300. The other two - 100 and 200 was kind of noisy, messy comparing to the 300
Is it normal or there is something wrong with my phone?
4.5/5
Same issue

never had a call drop, poor connections or refusal of the device to connect a call. i generally have never really thought much about it, or paid much attention to it. so i guess, in a way, that says a great deal, in a positive light.
For me it is a bit quiet at times.
And also i just got it from repair because if i pressed fhe phone too hard onto my ear it started makinh wierd noises, like cracking. And somtimes it made it louder. Sometimes totally muted it. Now that its back its okay but still i think it could be a bit louder

This can be turned off in call settings.
Call connection and ending tones

Call quality also depends on carrier, network etc. HD Voice, Wifi Call or voLTE.
Also different carriers have different quality in their systems.
From my point of view the call quality is amazing with both 4G Voice/voLTE and HD voice.
On my carrier voLTE requires both caller and receiver to be on same network, if I call people on other operators I ''just get'' HD Voice.
I have not tried the speaker without root and Viper4Android. But with V4A the speaker sounds good, high and clear!
This said if there are alot of background noice on receivers end, I find HD Voice to be better than voLTE.
In quiet surroundings I find vOLTE superior again.

Call quality is good enough...
Calls on the other side sound muddled and not very clear
Maybe it's some kind of a network problem, cause in my case the quality is excellent, cristal clear and loud, I had to turn down the in call volume.
Sent from my Mi A1 using Tapatalk
no problem with mine either. clear & loud enough. i turn down the in call volume.
Clear and loud, mic is next usb-c port
Just good enough.
why it sometimes auto calling when I receiving the call?
I'm getting a lot of distortion on earpiece, though not always. Receiver test gives perfectly clear sound, but when I call someone or answer the call sound is loud as hell and distorted. Lowering it down does help a little but it is still bad. At first I thought that it is a hardware issue with speaker but, as I already said, receiver test is perfect, sometimes only tone for ringing on the other side is distorted, and sometimes everything is fine.
No problem with calls over loudspeaker and 3.5mm.

with virtual operators it behaves really bad.
echo, metal voice etc ....
Loud af
Just good enough.
My granny is dead.
After 2018Feb update the call volume permanently dropped like 80% in my device. And I've been reading in the official forums it happened to a lot of people, but Xiaomi's moderators are denying it or calling it a feature (#$%& #$%&). It's so frustrating that I'm considering replacing Android One with Lineage OS.
Call quality is one of those things where you won't get consistent answers because it's depending on too many variables:
- Are you using VoLTE?
- Is your call partner using VoLTE?
- Your Carrier?
- Call partner's carrier?
- Your current signal?
- Call partner's current signal?
To me it seems to be pretty average. I can't say that I have noticed anything unusual about it, neither positive nor negative.

And also depends how clean your ears are.
Call quality in loudspeaker mode is ****ty. People can't clearly ear you while you can hear them very good.
speaker is too low volume

I guess this might help you. The post if for the ear speaker but if you need to increase the volume of the bottom speaker is basically the same procedure.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/how-to/how-to-modify-ear-speaker-volume-mi-a1-t3779866
The worst thing about MI A1 is after upgrading the Android version to 9 (PIE) microphone volume is slightly reduced. I have a friend has the same issue. When you call some one, he/she says "your voice is so quite, it is hard to hear and understand what you say".
There might be a bug and need a patch. I was hopping that the MI produces a patch but last two patches (february and january) did not include a fix for that problem.

About the same as my S8
I'm finding the call quality to be quite poor, the person on the other end always seems to sound muffled. 4 out of 10 for me at the moment.
I would say it is worse than my note 8 tbh it is hard to understand the person on the other end. Its always funny to me how these "phones" never improve the actual functions of the phone

Hi, guest here. The call quality is pretty poor, I have to turn on the hearing aids so I can hear people with max volume during calling, I also had to turn on dobly atmos. Whenever listening to media its fine, just during calling it sounds like absolute garbage, I kinda wanna trade in for a different device if they don't fix it with a software update.
On Verizon and no issues at all. VoLTE high quality sound and no loudness issues. Great phone.

I have unlocked version and have tested on both Verizon and Tmobile. Both were usable but the Verizon call quality was noticeably better and very good.
Superb!
I am on T-mobile in the U.S. in the Mid-West and the call quality is excellent as well as the reception. The Note 9 has improved radios and I have no issues in areas I previously had poor signal strength on my previous device.
Call quality seems a little better than my S8A which was pretty good. Can hold calls we're the S8A couldn't. Pretty impressed.

Call quality on exynos version is a bit worse than on my previous device on snapdragon 630 (1st floor of 9 floor city house)
Excellent call quality on [email protected] (Tested on Jio and Airtel) #Note9 Exynos
For communications, the Galaxy Note 9 is also very good. Note that the phone is compatible VoLTE and VoWiFi and therefore remains in 4G + calls (instead of switcher edge / 3G). The quality of the audio is very good, both in transmission and reception, with good isolation of the voice compared to surrounding noise and very little distortion.

The call quality of the Note 9 is pretty good. At full volume, the voice of the call partner is easy to understand even in very noisy environments. However, under normal circumstances, the caller sounds way too loud at maximum volume. The sound quality is not as clear as we would have liked, and there is also some background noise which is irritating sometimes!
The enhanced radios on my Snapdragon T-mobile branded Note 9 have greatly improved reception quality. In areas where I previously experienced poor signal quality/dropped calls on other devices, I now have a full set of bars and no problems. Whereas other sites focus on camera quality, color selection and other aesthetics, it's good to see one that remembers that the most important feature of a phone is its ability to send and receive calls.

Overall, for my needs, this phone has been a great value, except call quality. The Mic does not pick up normal speaking tones very well. I use mine only on speakerphone. If I have to speak lowly, so as not to disturb anyone in the vicinity, not possible to be heard on the other end. Whether it is a design flaw, or a software problem, I don't know. Has a great Speakerphone, though. Something I couldn't say for my retired Nexus 6P. I should mention that I have a variant from Google Fi, from the Play Store. Might that be a factor?

Yep, mine have been clear and no issues at all with call quality. I'm on Verizon.
I had already two or three calls when my voice sound like robotic. But this was probably due to the fact that I had wifi calling enabled. Now I disabled it and wait to hear if there will be similar complaints. Besides that, I can tell that the Note 8's sound was much better because of the loudspeaker placement. The loudspeaker on Note 10+ falls under the case, that's why the sound is not very good, on my opinion.

Curious, I come from a note 8 also, and the sound of this note10+ seems to me way, way better and louder
The handset call volume on my Note 10+ is low, even on maximum. In the quiet of my office I can hear callers quite well but in a shopping center setting I can barely hear callers. I know the handset speaker position means you have to put your ear against the top edge rather than the top face of the phone. I find this very unacceptable for such an expensive phone.

I have the Note 10 and I'm getting a similar problem. I have just done a test and the 'non speaker phone' earpiece volume isn't quiet, it just has lots of bass and no high frequencies. Sounds ok, even high quality, in a quiet room, but in a shopping centre it's impossibly muddy. Turn on speakerphone and it sounds the same, but with a lot more high frequency.
*** Actually I've taken a further look and the bottom speaker has a higher frequency response than the top/ earpiece speaker. So when you go to speaker phone the boost in top end comes from the bottom speaker. Seems the response of the earpiece speaker is not tailored for when making calls at all. Am now experimenting with the Settings/Accessibility/Hearing enhancements/ Hearing aid support..
It's like someone got the setting wrong. One thing's for sure. In a quiet enviroment, everyone will be able to hear who you're talking to.
My granny is 99% deaf so I get huh and wut lol but no fault of the phone. I think the quality of the sound is top notch can always hear and be heard with any call is all environments not sure what wrong with others that have low call volume. Could be I have the newest starwars edition might have been fixed but no issues with calling love this device.
at least they bought out "stereo speakers." they tried hard to hide the front speakers and did a good job but failed and made a punch hole in the display. would have liked it better if they did away with the selfie whorecam or made it pop out.
I totally despise the selfie cams
