Call quality - LG G6 Real Life Review

When you call granny, does she keep saying "Huh?! Wut?!" or does the conversation flow pretty well? Rate this thread to express how you feel about the LG G6's call quality. A higher rating indicates that calls are clear and crisp, and that regardless of background noise, you can hear the other party clearly (and with ample volume) and they can hear you.

Amazingly, it sounds ultra clear and when I use it with my car through bluetooth people can actually hear me without me having to speak extra loud.
FREAKY STORY!! This is serious
OH, another crazy thing, using this phone with my car FIXED MY SPEAKERS. Generally my audio in the car played loud, but after pairing my phone and running music through a downloaded app it sounded kind of whatever.. just the norm. But immediately after I played the same song through the stock app and it was ultra loud, clear, more BASS, MID, and TREBLE, etc. After unconnecting my phone, the car now plays music at around the 30% volume level as if it were on maxium volume. Friggin AWESOME!!!! That's probably a freak incident that just happened and may not have anything to do with the phone, but it's been that way for years and the first time I used bluetooth in the car it fixed that.

This is the best phone I've used in a long time in terms of call quality. It is EXCELLENT.
Speaker phone goes through very clear as well. My grandmother is very grouchy about whether I sound muffled or "far away" and she has yet to complain... she is an excellent way to soundtest my bluetooth/equpment
But actually, mostly everyone has mentioned the phone sounding really fantastic when I call.
The ear piece is adequately loud but just can't get over the quality. I come in very clear to people on the other side, so not having to repeat myself as much. Just can't remember the last time I had this much clarity... HD Voice I'm sure helps, but the last time I had a great "phone" persay was a Nokia.

Clear and strong, on T-Mobile in Ohio.

My first LG G6 kept dropping network, and I would cut in and out on phone calls very often. I'm not sure if it was a Freedom network issue or the G6, but I've never had that issue on my G4, so I swapped out the G6 for another one. I'm hoping this one doesn't have any issues, but I also switched to Public Mobile's much better network now too, so hopefully no issues at all anymore. I'm very impressed by everything else, only complaint would be speaker phone volume is a bit low, coming from the G4, but the clarity (most of the time) makes up for it.

I'm om Fido right now and my call quality is terrible. I can hear people fine but they say they can't hear me. And it cuts in and out. Im very skeptical about changing phones because it seems like I will have the same issue. I will dig deeper and see if it's a lg problem or Fido problem

I randomly have same issue with mine but 1. It's random. 2. I'm on Verizon, usually never an issue. 3. Most calls are made to cell phones so it could be on their end

I fixed the problem and it's confirmed. I turned off voice over lte (VoLTE)

I will try that. I can hear people really well. But with about half my calls, I cut out for them. Cells and landlines both. Very frustrating. I have AT&T version.
---------- Post added at 06:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:01 PM ----------
I cannot find the VoLTE setting on my AT&T version. Anyone tried adjusting the noise suppression or clarity settings?

Poor Outbound Call Quality!
I'm with Fido as well and I have VoLTE disabled since I got the phone (as recommended by the rep at Fido).
I have found if I have a case on the phone (any case and I have a few all of which are good reputable companies with excellent cut outs on all ports) I need to (almost 100% of the time) need to yell for the other end to hear me without cutting out, even that doesn't always work. If I pull the case off during the call they hear me fine (almost all the time). In all cases I can hear them perfectly.
This is driving me nuts as I always have my phone in a case and can't figure out what the issue might be. Nearest I can guess is that the mics do not like being recessed in the cases or causes weirdness that the noise cancellation can't figure out.
SOOO frustrating when a phone can be a phone! The rest of the device is pretty rock solid!

Try to turn OFF both noise suppression and enhance voice clarity under call settings

I honestly hear people better when i call them with whapp, and they hear me better aswell...
Acutally if i am going to be honest, lots of people are complaing to me that they hear me but have a feeling like i am 10m from the phone.. So idk.

I had to disable all the sound "enhancements" to get decent voice quality.
VoLTE= Off
Noise Suppression=Off
Voice Clarity=Off
WiFi Calling=Off
Now, nobody complains.

I have people complaining that they don't hear me well. I have to press phone to my cheek :/ . Will try settings from above, and post results in a day or two.

I can hear them but they don't hear me
Help. Everyone says my voice cuts out constantly and they can't hear me on regular voice calls. On Koodo.

I believe kenweise solution to remove the enhancement is the right solution. By turning off the Noise Suppression, people could now hear me clearly.

[Q] Call quality on SG3

Hi everybody, I was wondering how is the call quality on the S3. I've been using HTC phones (S710 and Tilt2) for the last 5 years, and I haven't been happy with the call quality on either device, my old Nokias used to have much clearer sound.

From what i can tell its amazing. I can hear everything on this end of the call, if not too much, and the other person can hear me perfectly clear.
Thank you. It's very hard to find reliable firsthand info on call quality about smartphones.

I second that. Would like to hear more users about the call quality and reception. Especially in comparison with other devices.

Well compared to my Desire HD, its a lot lot better. Even little things like when you press phone, it does it instantly instead of a delay before it starts ringing.
I can confirm the superb call audio quality. I had a HTC Desire before, which was always too quiet when I was in a loud environment. No problems with the SG3 in that situation.

I had a galaxy nexus before the sgs3 and i must say its a huge improvement. I had to push the nexus to my ear to hear my girlfriend -_-.. Now its so loud and clear i had to lessen the volume xD!
I really like it.. Its like al the shortcomings of the galaxy nexus are gone and with free extra's like quad core.. BETTER screen without crappy smugdes in de back that u see if u scroll if u know what i mean. The camera is freakin awesome
So i went off topic.. all in all the phone has a very loud and clear soud for voicecalling
Thnx for the feedback. My Desire Z is perfect, but the call quality is horrible. It's not nearly loud enough. Glad to hear that it's way better with the Galaxy. Sorry HTC, i'll jump the ship for that reason.
aside from firsthand info from people who have just gotten the phone, there many reviews out already regarding this topic and all of them are in agreement that sgs3's call quality is very good.
i had a gs2 and 0 audio problems... now with S3 i have metallic voice when calling, solved turning off noise reduction. i'm italian, and other people here have the same problem too. dunno if is firmware problem or a bad unit.
my firmware is XXLE8.
Call quality is very good however several people have complained about not been able to hear me very clearly. I have had to hold mic pretty close to my mouth in comparison to HOX to ensure clarity when speaking.
Perhaps I have faulty handset, don't know.
I also have had people saying they can't hear me properly or that I am under water.
I have also noticed that the "startup" speed of the voice/microphone is slow... (if this is even possible) however that is how it feels e.g. someone calls, you say "hello" then they say hello? hello? then you say hello? then they can hear you, it's like sometimes they don't hear you at first until you repeat yourself.
in comparison with my Optimus 2x, the sound is far better, clear and loud on the S3..
Really better.
Ive got complains that i also sound underwater or "canned", i hear the other part perfectly but they say they hear me bad.
Hardware or software issue?

Thank you very much!
I'm on my second S3 because of extremely poor call quality, and this one had it too. I could hear people perfectly fine, but people could barely hear me and the sound was very badly garbled.
Odd thing is that it only seemed to happen when I was home, so I've been shutting off every electronic device I could find to see what was causing interference. Strange thing is that I didn't have a problem if I was using speakerphone.
Anyway, I disabled the noise reduction and my problem went away!!

How to disable it?
Don't forget that there are three different voice settings for the earpiece.
I disabled noisereduction and callers hear me waaaay better now.
Anyone tried noisereduction on and some EQ settings?
If so whats the best settings you got for far.

Experiencing the same on my second sgs3, people think I'm in the toilet/bathroom. Exchanged my first sgs3 cause people could not hear me well (garbled, metallic voice).
Will look into disabling noise reduction.

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

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.

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.

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.

On the handset, I "sound like I'm on a speaker phone", the other party sounds like they are talking to me through a tuna can. this is intermittent though. other callers I normally speak with sound normal (HD)
That's not normal.

I have T-Mobile and calls come through clearly...but when they work. The network signal is terrible even though my other phones with the same sim card all work great in the same areas. Essential must have either a really messed up software modem in this device, or the devices themselves shipped with either broken or inferior antennas.
I'm on Sprint. I've only made one phone call yesterday while standing outside, and I'm not sure how I sounded like to the other person, but on my end the call audio kept cutting in and out like I was in tunnel.
I'm hoping this is fixed with a software update, I might have to switch back to my Nexus 6.
A quick edit:
I just made another phone call and half of the call the person sounded like they was a robot under the water.
After spending tons on other flagships and sounding like i was on a paper cup this device is very clear
Telecomm strength is in average only ..
Sprint calls sound meh on this device... TMobile sounds better. Speakerphone on Sprint is horrible. Haven't tried speakerphone on TMobile
Call quality is great in both receiving and making calls here in Belgium (provider: Proximus). Downside: compared to my previous phone (iPhone 7 plus) the signal drops more often and reconnects slower...
Horrible with no service in weak service area. I am with T-mobile and there's no signal at home whereas i see 2 bars with my OnePlus and S8.
Had a 35 minute call today, switching between mic and speaker-phone. The person that called me said the call clarity was Crystal Clear! I am on Verizon with VOLTE activated.

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.
