The phones with the best speakers:
1- Razer Phone
2- ZTE Axon 7
3- Pixel 2
4- Samsung S9
5- iPhone X or LG G7 or SONY XZ2
(I could mention other phones like the HTC M9 or SONY Z3, but they're older and not worth bothering)

Does not mean anyone can do good quality pictures with there auto mode on.
You don't need more cameras if you are average noob behind a camera with auto settings. With manual settings where you know what you are doing you can get good quality out of budget phones too.
Anonymous, 06 May 2018True but then again you cant call/text/game/social message/etc/ on a Nikon Camera.... You can game on a 5.5 inch screen? I can't. I do that on a 24 inch screen.
For calling/texting/social messaging/etc. i have my $200 phone.
Cutting cost and removing speakers or 3.5mm jacks isnt cause of the popularity of them. It only to cut the cost to build devices and have nothing to do what people want out of there phones. As we all know by now that companies dont give a 2 cents about what people really want, They have there own trends and will go with them over what people want.

By the way, earpiece + woofer (bottom speaker) isn't a true stereo setup.
How can it be stereo if one is facing away from you??
It can be semi-stereo, not true stereo.
The true stereo ones are the same as the Xperia flagships, HTC One M to M9, Alcatel Idol 3, 4/4s, 5/5s, ZTE Axon 7/7 Mini, Razer Phone, and Motorola Moto X Style/Pure Edition.
Use a stereo speaker for once, and it will be very hard to go back.

Kiyasuriin, 06 May 2018Kind reminder:
1cm=10mm.
Right, that's the same thickness as the XZ2 Premium.
And what everyone else say, weight also comes with quality.

It got improved year by year, and now the XZ2's speakers are at Sony's loudest yet for a smartphone.
You see, they are waterproof stereo speakers during that time. The S5's audio quality from its speaker is way lower in both volume and clarity as compared to the Z3.
It's definitely not low in volume. It's stereo so the sound travels to all directions and not just one like on mono.
If anything, I'd buy an ambulance siren if I want the loudest one.
You're just pretending not to be able to hear it, because I definitely can.
The sound of phone speaker(s) is/Are so bad that it does not matter if the phone has stereo or mono speakers... if the phone has good quality 3.5mm jack output... well then we Are talkin!
3.5mm jack ower stereo spekers anyday!

So when your phones rings are speakers on smartphones still useless????
how about your alarm when you wake up to go to work?
I'd prefer a half decent sounding loudspeaker on a phone over a tinny sounding piece of crap.
Mono/stereo aside, new xperias and lg G7 offer something close to 2.1, wonder if its in stereo fashion in lg's phone tough...
I mostly listen to phone audio using my gold plated jack but any improvement loud playback is useful for better user experience.
As for audio recording it should be already binaural, not mono. There were devices capable of outing 5.1 using 3/4mics. There is no need to explain world difference to ones who heard. Same with haac.
Listening wise, I'm OK with this combination:
Meizu - Pro 7 High Edition - 128GB as the driver
Samsung - MX-JS9500 at home
JVC - MX-G950V at work
JBL - SoundGear in mountain
Sennheiser - IE 800 for all other situations.
Speaker on smartphones are not important at all, as they are almost useless for me, but smartphones without 3.5mm jack are not mine.
Most People won't really care A phone with Stereo Speaker but only stand like 2-3 Hours
Most will prefer a phone with great Battery that could longest-lasting for once charged cound be used for 1-2 Days .
stereo speakers and both front facing even if it needed thicker bezel over that typical stereo speakers placement where one of them is placed at the bottom it is very retarded placement.

They re very low sounding... a single spkr from a samsung can destroy those stereo set... i mean whats d use when u cant even hear the music?
No stereo front speakers and you dont get my money.
Not everybody uses headphones,i loathe the bloody stupid things,their still rubbish,even if you spends lots,the same arguments can be made against headphones as can be made aganst in device speakers,small,limited range drivers etc etc.
Humans have two ears,specificaly fesigned to worl as a stereo pair,anything that doesnt take that into account is rubbish.
Cameras on phones are still rubbish,the improvements people are seeimg is being done by even more post processing,most 2 or 3 camera phones are loaded with three different types of module,only one of which is a full spectrum device,the others are usualy black n white for detail and depth detail.
If you want half decent pics from a phone then start nagging at makers to increase the size of the cameras lenses,and sensors,simple,cgeap way to do it is to simply make the modules twice as big,but due to depth problems,that wont happen because you will end up with a device thicker 8mm,which of course the limp wristed wimpish dwarves wont be able to pick up cos it will be too big and heavy,cos wimps today cannot manage anything bigger than 8mm thick,125mm wide or 180mm long that ways more than 150gms,just think of how crippled they would have been ten years ago with phones that weighed in at 250+ gms and had to be big because they had nicad batteries,not lithium etc etc..
Once again stupid "designer" lead fashion leads function and you will not see any significant change until consumer power is bought to bear on the makers,phones do nothing nrw over what they did ten years ago,they just do the same stuff quicker,now we have stupid things like notches being the main talking points for phones..
Someone,somewhere will always build a device with stereo front speakers,as long as the rest of the device is half decent spec folk like me will hunt it out and buy it.
And to all of you who reckon a decent camera is vital,go buy a cheap decent "real" camera if quality is that vital or do you realy need that selfie/selfish shot to be high quality ?
My wife has very old micromax a107. Which has front facing stereo spkrs. Both equally loud. Good quality sound. And thats the only reason i am not buying her a new phone ... coz a new phone, wit all its benefits, cant match the sound... we're compromising processing power, ram, rom alll in favour of front facing stereo !!
