This one is a toss up, but we're getting tons and tons of questions about it. For whatever reason millions of potential buyers think the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ have stereo speakers. A feature that everyone wants, but Samsung did NOT deliver. It was heavily rumored, which is why many think it exists. It doesn't.
Samsung's Galaxy S8 and S8+ has a single speaker on the bottom next to the new USB Type-C charging port. This is the only area that sound comes out while watching videos or playing music. Devices like the HTC 10 or iPhone 7 have dual speakers. One at the bottom, and another built into the earpiece. We were told Samsung would add stereo speakers to the Galaxy S8 but sadly that never happened. The single bottom-firing speaker still sounds pretty great, it's just not as good as it could be. The more you know the better, right? |
