Thinking back to the best smartphones with stereo speakers.
Introduction
In the last couple of months I tested several good models at once, so I decided to make a small selection of devices with stereo speakers. Go!
ZTE Axon 7
The new aluminum flagship of the company has two wonderful stereo speakers on the front panel, they have excellent sound quality, they do not wheeze even at maximum volume.
Alcatel Idol 4 / 4S
The smartphone, created in partnership with JBL, also has stereo speakers with a huge headroom. By the way, it comes with good headphones, and the older model also includes VR glasses.
Moto Z with module from JBL
Another smartphone in partnership with JBL, though this time with an external module. I've already talked a lot about this bundle, so now I will just briefly repeat: this combination will perfectly replace a good portable speaker.
HTC 10
Perhaps it was HTC that at one time popularized the installation of stereo speakers in smartphones and now continues to install them in its flagship devices. HTC 10 does not have visible meshes of these speakers, as in the old models, but they are still there, just the upper one is combined with the spoken one, and the lower one is at the end, and not under the screen.
Apple iPhone 7/7 Plus
Apple also decided to support the trend towards stereo speakers, so their new iPhones also have two speakers. As in HTC 10, here one speaker was combined with the spoken one, and the second was taken out to the bottom end. Of course, this arrangement is a little inferior to the standard one, however, it allows you not to make a big second chin to your smartphone.
Conclusion
When I started writing this collection, I was sure that I would immediately name at least a dozen models, which seemed to be such a good advantage, but in fact it turned out that manufacturers were in no hurry to implement it. It is especially amusing when stereo speakers seem to be visible from below, but in fact one of them is a microphone plug.
By the way, maybe I forgot some models? You can write them in the comments, and at the same time share your thoughts on the importance of this element. For example, I believe that good speakers in a smartphone should be. This does not mean that I regularly listen to music near the entrance, but sometimes I want to turn on my favorite playlist in a hotel or somewhere else and listen to it without headphones.
