Google has fixed its recent history of terrible speakers with the Pixel 8 Pro

This is the best summary I could come up with:
I carried around a Pixel 7 Pro as my primary phone for several months and enjoyed many aspects of it — but the audio that came from its speakers was thin and feeble compared to flagships from Apple, Samsung, and others.
I’d argue that things really went off the tracks starting with the Pixel 5, when Google replaced the conventional earpiece speaker with an over-engineered, under-display alternative that used vibrations to produce sound.
It was a noticeable downgrade coming from perfectly adequate stereo speakers that Google had included on the Pixel 4 and 4 XL.
But for whatever reason, the fullness of the sound produced by those speakers never returned to the sort of quality that I’d expect from any company’s flagship phone.
I can’t speak for the smaller phone, which I haven’t used much yet, but there’s genuinely a world of difference between the drivers on the Pixel 8 Pro and its predecessor.
Watching videos on YouTube, I don’t notice the same ear-piercing quality to vocal frequencies that were present on the 7 Pro.
