    Most new phones have at one front facing speaker. Does it really make a lot of difference with one more?

      huge difference, yes.

      especially with volume, accuracy, clarity and pitch. on most phones with speakers spacing away from you, it’s like having one speaker plugged into your TV, it’s pointed away from you at corner of your wall.

      you can turn it up as loud as the speaker will go, but the sound quality isn’t going to increase.

      you can imagine the difference having a conversation with someone looking at you versus having a conversation with someone turned away from you.

      and the difference in quality between the speaker at the top of most phones and the bottom facing speaker is very clear, whereas most front-facing phones focus on two good speakers.

      Yes, it makes a huge difference if you enjoy music, movies, podcasts; anything with sound on an HTC One from 11 years ago will sound much better than what the newest iPhone or pixel can offer because the speakers are facing you instead of playing audio away from you(and the HTC one speakers kicked ass)
