How good is the microphone quality on it? I had a horrible experience with their Moto Edge Pro which had one of the worst mics I ever experienced. Very high noise floor plus aggressive filtering. Not something you expect in a flagship phone. I exchanged it twice thinking there was something wrong with the device but it was not the case, others were complaining about it and other Edge models as well.
It was a shame, as the rest of the phone hardware was very good for the price - after installing gcam on it as you did.
- b112 1mo agoYou.know, this is very funny to me. Back in the early 90s, when mobile moved from analog to digital, I bought the first Motorola digital flip phone. And it regarded my voice as "noise" over a certain level, which (as I have a loud voice), meant it was clipping all the time. I engaged Motorola on this, spoke with the engineering team. We even did a few calls, me with a Nokia and then a Motorola so they could see the difference. You could sense the shoulder shrugs at their end. To discover they still have the same limitations is beyond amusing, and I wonder of the same engineering team still exists in part, decades later, refusing to care.
- embedding-shape 1mo agoI'm sure this isn't actually what happened, but when you said "as I have a loud voice" and then "did a few calls" and finally "shoulder shrugs at their end", I imagine you shouting over the phone to them, and them not understanding why your are shouting instead of just talking :P I'm sure it wasn't like that though, just what popped into my head. Maybe this isn't any of my businesses, but couldn't you just talk less loudly, if this is such a issue? Most microphones are good enough, and were in the 90s too, to pick up normal conversational volume :)
- b112 1mo agoI just spoke normally. Some people have louder voices. I'm not going to whisper all the time on the phone. And all other devices? Fine.
- embedding-shape 1mo agoI mean when I talk "normally" people think I talk too fast, so to make it easier for others to understand me, I talk "slower" which for them sounds "normal". Again, I'm not saying you have to change or anything, but isn't this more or less the same as for people who are "louder" or simply stronger too, they have to be more careful with others? I remember the moment the strong kid in class realized he was strong (as the teacher told him with not so nice words), and he adjusted based on that later when we played.
- b112 1mo agoNo. Good grief, were you on the design team? I've owned 40 other phones in my life, by at least 10 brands. I've owned tablets, landlines, recording equipment, all fine! Then wisenhimer shows up to defend the outlier. No. Got it?
- embedding-shape 1mo agoSorry, I'm not claiming the phone isn't broken or shit, I wasn't even talking about the phone anymore. I don't understand the second to last sentence at all either, sorry. Hope you'll have a nice day anyways!

- terribleperson 1mo agoI haven't noticed any issues but, well, we don't make very many calls or record voice a lot. I may make a point to test it out.
