At first I thought the call audio was extremely bad on the Pixel 5, because I've always put the corner of the phone in my ear. Once I read that you have to place your ear over the phone glass instead, the audio became completely normal-sounding.

- meowster 6y agoI remember that debacle. I suppose there is a parallel, but with the Pixel 5, it still is very usable with almost zero adjustment, nothing convoluted like changing how you hold an iPhone to avoid shorting the antenna.
- P_I_Staker 6y agoDisagree that this is anywhere close to as bad. Asking users to place their ear over the speaker is not a huge deal and reasonable IMO, versus having it not work at all when holding it like a normal person. If you don't like the speaker placement, I understand though.
