The call Quality is excellent. I'm coming from a background of a Samsung Galaxy S4 and Sony Xperia Z3 an Alcatel Idol One Touch 3 and a number of other phones. The speaker phone quality is awesome and the earpiece quality is very good as well and no one has to ever say they cannot hear me. I'm very pleased with my purchase beyond the shadow of a doubt.

Fairly good and reliable signal

I know it's not unique to the G5 but the HD voice calls on Verizon are pretty good. I just wish it wasn't solely a Verizon thing.

it isn't.

On the off-brand T-Mobile aka MetroPCS with the EU H850...best speeds I've had on a phone but I was with Sprint for so long that barely counts...

European H850 here and it has hd voice too... sounds pretty good

Poor but I think its a defective device. I have a G4 on the same network and it is flawless.

The best I've experienced as you'd expect, it's difficult to make. Judgement though given I switched networks with my latest contract. There are probably too many variables to give a concrete answer but calls are always crisp with 2+ signal. 4.5/5 for me.

Id give it a 4/5. Using HD voice apps to get its full potential, it is crystal clear

Nice call quality. But, when it's really really windy (and only then), my moto x force does the noise filtering job much much better tough.

But Tilt2 reviews say excellent call quality...

WMExperts, CNET, BoyGenius say things like the call quality and speakerphone in the Tilt2 are excellent. WMExperts say best in the market.
But I read here in the forum of people experiencing muffled sound, low volume, etc.
How to sort this out? What is "reality?"
Obviously this is a feature I am very concerned about before buying the Tilt2. I have relied on Nokia (although they get knocked -- rightfully -- for their OS) for reliable and clear call quality and speakerphone (people don't even notice that you are using a speakerphone).
I think one main factor is network conditions. Under excellent network conditions, you will be able to take advantage of the awesome sound quality that this phone has to offer. The phone volume itself is a bit soft. That doesn't mean sound quality sucks, that means volume sucks.
The speakerphone is a dream though. Dual mics and speakers provide excellent sound quality when using the speakerphone, and the dual mics provide some pretty good noise cancelling.
So while the phone is certainly capable of excellent sound quality, its all up to network quality as well. Personally I think the Tilt2 has more than enough volume for me (way better than the Fuze), and that sound quality has been very good. I especially love using the speakerphone on this thing. Its crystal clear and I love it.

I am inclined to agree with you. I have just moved over to the T-Mobile version after almost 4 years on a Wizzard and the call quality sucks in comparison. It sounds really flat. I cant understand why it gets good reviews. No way this is ntwork affected. I have 5 bars of 3G where I am.

T-Mobile duffed the output, you can find that anywhere in the forums.. AFAIK it does not affect any other model except the T-Mobile, and there is a file you can replace or install to restore it.
the hardware is definately the best of any phone. just try it out with another phone and youll see. for alot of people the low volume can be solved by hitting volume up, but it still can be a bit soft. the software hasnt really changed from phone to phone and being windows mobile, its easy to get the phone louder through software. i would recommend looking at tweaked audiopara3 files.

No complaints, everyone hear me...I hear them...everyone is happy. No background noises what so every, very ...very clear.
Clear sound, had to turn down the default volume though, the first caller made me jump as he began to speak!
Hey Honor 8 owners! What is background noise cancelling like? What if you use the speaker instead and hence have the mic away from your mouth? Thanks in advance.

Works well, I've never had any trouble walking on speaker phone, I can both hear the person and they can hear me.
So I have no complaints!
Anyone install a sound mod? I hear Dolby can definitely improve it!
Call clarity has been great, hearing the other party clearly. Though, it doesn't integrate with Google Voice like other phones do.
As a very unsatisfied previous owner of a Moto X Pure with VoLTE choppy audio on T-Mobile network, I am very satisfied with the call audio quality of the Honor 8. Even in low bandwidth areas VoLTE is very clear. Great speaker phone. I wish it was a little louder in speaker phone mode. But it seems that all Android phones are this way from my experience.
No complaints on call quality/volume here. It just works....!
okay quality when talking
Very clear, no issues at all
Hi , call quality is great , sound is clear .. but ..
i am using L10 , with 2 sims , the 4G major sim works just great in calls , the 2G one always get disconnected and / or very bad call sound quality.
i exchanged the sims , and the 4g / 2g options , and still facing the same problem ! so when i want to use sim 2 for a clear call , i just have to set it to 4G , then set it back to 2G after the call .
Huawei Honor 8 FRD-L10 running B380 Android 7
I use two sim card.. and the call quality is actually very good.. couse this is the firs phone I can hear my girlfriend very clear LooOOooL.. becouse on every other phone she sounds very silent .. but on this one its not the case.. I hear her very good and clear..
Clarity is very good as well as the volume.
good call quality.no issue
Call quality is good but then the hybrid sim support ruined the fun here. Wish it had dual sim+sdcard support
Loud and clear calls.

If your network isn't garbage then it'll be fine just like every other phone, speaker phone tho not amazing with it's weak speakers
I found the call quality to be a step up from my note 5 and a my wife's iPhone. Switched to ATT from Verizon so that could be some of it as well.
I think call quality is one area where I am completely satisfied with this device. I had a hard time with my Nexus 6P, I had to hold the hand like a cup at the bottom for the other party to hear. Looks like this device works like a charm in this department.

Had same issue with the 6p. Still trying to decide what device to keep but I have had numerous people say the call quality is better.

Going from the Note 5 to the Note 7. Rarely had call quality issues on the Note 5, chronic call quality issues with the Note 7.
Using AT&T, I have incredible, crystal clear call quality. The only reason I can think people have rated this phone as having "disappointing sound during calls" is they have a bad service provider, or a bad signal.

Gotta disagree about the phone having weak speakers. They sound phenomenal to me. Very loud and clear. Now, that's not to say that there aren't phones with louder or better speakers, but that's not the point. I wouldn't consider it's speakers "weak" at all. They're certainly on par.
(Sorry for the double post. Would merge if possible.)

Just out of curiosity, did you switch service, or are you using the same phone service provider?

Same provider. I've got two of them doing the same thing. Turned off HD calling to see if there is an improvement.

That's odd. Are you using a case/skin for your phone? I've heard of certain cases interfering with signal strength.
I come from a note 4, that one had a very annoying flaw, at least with my carrier, the other person in the line always hearing echo, with this note 7 no echo, I am pleased with call quality
I will rate for a 9/10 for my call experience...didn't face any problem yet when calling someone

Best call quality I have had on any phone.
Agreed. VoLTE is life changing when talking to someone else using the technology. Even my wife noticed.
Wonder if the cloth ear piece speaker grill has anything to do with this? The call quality has been very good for me. On other phones the earpiece can sound hollow or distant. The Pixel sounds more like talking to someone across a boardroom.
Yes. Best call quality I've had on any phone.

Just got off my first conference call on this phone. The other party (using a Polycom-type setup to broadcast multiple people in a room) said that my call quality was the best they have heard from a mobile phone.

Sound is distorted.... from most callers.. but not from all of them.. (to loud??)
I too found call quality lacking.
I don't have issues with calls at all. Same quality as I had on Note 5, Nexus 6p and iPhone e 7plus

Phone Quality is good, but when it comes to Whatsapp Calls or Skype its pretty bad compared to my really old iPhone 5s, people do complain a lot and ask me to use a headset cause if put on Speaker they cant hear me very well.
Call quality is decent imo, microphone's sensitivity could be a bit better. Yesterday while driving I received a call so I had to use loud speaker mode. The phone was lying on the passenger's seat and the person I talked with could hardly hear me
Call quality issue was fixed for me on 4.0.2!!! now is perfect !!!!!!!!!!!!!
****** (five stars now) .. but changing vote not allowed .. REALY !?!
Sounds like crap...:crying:
Both myself and my friend have the 3T, we both complain about the quality and we both cant hear each other.
It's very decent IMO.
OnePlus 3T - OxyOS 4.0.2 (Nougat)
Running two SIMS - AT&T and T-Mobile in Dallas. Call quality is really inconsistent. I get lots of people complaining about me breaking up. Never had this problem with my LG G4 on either network. Would love OnePlus to enhance their radio or at least allow some tuning of the radio.
So far, "thumbs down" on the call quality.
I have been using iPhones for years before switching to the OP3T now. Although I'm happy with the decision overall, call quality definitely is a step down from the iPhone, particularly in terms of clarity.
Not too bad though, so it's still ok.

Also have a lot of trouble with Whatsapp and Skype calls both on Oneplus 3 & 3T.... I beg for the developers to fix this, i suppose it is only due to OS optimization of these apps or just poor microphone settings
Yep, same here unfortunately. I have serious issues when calling via hangout. My girlfriend complains about not hearing me as well as about seeing bad video quality. Never ever had such problems with my nexus 6p or my iPhone 6s plus...
Actually this is kind of frustrating...
Gesendet von meinem Nexus 6P mit Tapatalk
i thought it was pretty good. better then my note 4
Anyone moved to one plus 3T from S7 edge or lg g5?
How good is the call quality compared to them? Voice clarity and volume.
Thank you
It's better from s7 edge more clean.

You mean the S7 edge is better. The sound is louder in the S7 edge, one thing i really noticed. And the screen colours...
No i mean the call quality in op3t its better.

Nope, not in my opinion! Or my s7 edge was very good or the OP3T i have now is really bad. I can listen well but the sound was better in the S7.
