Top smartphones with stereo speakers

 “Why settle for one when you can have two high-quality speakers in your smartphone?”

Speakers on phones are not just important to music lovers, but also to those who watch films and TV shows or play a lot of games. For them, stereo speakers ensure that their content consumption experience is top-notch in the aural sense as much as it is in the visual sense. Over the last few years, more and more manufacturers have started incorporating stereo speakers into their handsets, with some of them even placing the drivers in the front area of the phone to deliver sound straight towards your ears. If you want a list of what some of the best smartphones with stereo speakers are, you’ve come to the right place.


Apple iPhone XS / iPhone XS Max 



Apple handsets made the switch to stereo speakers with the iPhone 7 (review), and since then, all the iPhones have thankfully embraced the feature. The newest in the breed, the iPhone XS and the iPhone XS Max, have one of their drivers located in the earpiece and the other at the bottom. These speakers are amply loud, and deliver crisp sound. And overall too, these are among the best smartphones you can buy right now. They boast exquisite designs, bezel-less OLED displays, excellent cameras and Apple’s new A12 Bionic chips, which not just delivers incredible performance, but also efficiently aids AI activities.

Apple iPhone XR 



Here’s another Apple handset in this list. Not surprisingly, it has the same stereo speaker system that’s present on the XS duo. The fact that this device is cheaper than those handsets though, means there are some compromises in other departments. Firstly, its display is an LCD that’s low in resolution. And it has just one camera on its rear surface. That said, it’s still a beautiful-looking device that runs on the same A12 Bionic chip that has gone inside the flagship iPhones. 

Google Pixel 3 / Pixel 3 XL 



Google’s latest range of smartphones is replete with outstanding camera features, but the company has surely not ignored the sound output of these phones. Crystal clear audio comes out of the two drivers of the Pixel 3 XL and the Pixel 3. And the fact that they are both on the front means the audio aims straight for your ears. The new Pixel 3 phones are no-nonsense Android phones with top-notch hardware and astounding camera performance. The only difference between the smartphones is their screen sizes and battery capacities. 

Samsung Galaxy S9 / Galaxy S9+Galaxy S9+ 



Samsung has released three excellent Galaxy phones this year, and all of them come fitted with stereo speakers. The implementation here is same as that of the iPhones – one channel at the bottom of the phone and the other inside the earpiece. These speakers on the S9 and S9+ are loud and deliver great sound quality. Both the smartphones bear notch-less AMOLED displays, offer outstanding cameras, and run on the best hardware available as of now. Moreover, they even offer headphone sockets.

Now you can listen to podcasts from Apple, Spotify on your Amazon Echo smart speaker

 E arlier this year Apple and Amazon collaborated to bring Apple Music to Amazon's Echo range of smart speakers. And now, the two companies have collaborated once again to bring podcasts from Apple's Podcasts to Amazon's Echo range of smart speakers.Sometimes Echo Do not respond To our voice In a blog post, Amazon announced that now Alexa users will be able to listen to more than 800,000 podcasts through Apple Podcasts on their Alexa-enabled devices. Not only that, if Alexa users like their Apple ID with their Amazon account in their Alexa apps they will also be able to pick up the podcasts from right where they left them on the Apple Podcasts app or their Alexa-enabled smart speakers.

Alexa Says a Device is Not Responding, but She Controls it Just Fine?

  Be aware that sometimes Alexa reports a device is not responding when it really is. Sometimes, Alexa doesn't realize she actually did what you told her to, and fallaciously reports she's having issues.  Other times, she seems to think she completed a command, but nothing happens.  In other words, Alexa is not always a reliable reporter.  Don't always believe Alexa when she says a device is not responding.   I have this annoying issue with Alexa, my TV, and my Harmony Hub. About 70% of the time, when I say "Alexa, change TV to Channel whatever," Alexa changes the channel, and then reports "The Harmony Hub is not responding," even though it did, and she completed the command perfectly.   Other times, I ask Alexa to issue a Harmony Hub command, and she says "Okay," but nothing happens.  And I have to reissue the command to have Alexa perform the action I want. Alexa is particularly unreliable when it comes to my Harmony Hub and realizing ...
