AnonD-664474, 31 Dec 2017DSLRs will always be better than any smartphone cameras in ... moreMany youtube channels and actual photographers have came out and said they're not getting rid of their SLRs for a smartphone camera. Only the Google Pixel 2/2 XL comes close. So traditional DSLRs will still have a market.

Boring industry, especially in 2017. Where are f.e. the cameras in phones that we even had some years ago? Those small sensors and cheap lenses are a joke. Where are the high quality DACs for all those mainstream phones? Nothing. Only higher and higher prices and gimmicks that nobody needs. Lets hope for 2018 - and Happy New Year to everyone.

Where have the side FP sensors gone? Sony still has them and the Razer Phone.

In this case, it is just weird because the top speaker of his phone (the earpiece) is the only one that's actually working. I mean the sound may be low in volume, but the two speakers must be working in tandem still.
Again I need a proof of your claim that the Mate 9 and other dual speaker Android phones have no issue about this.
'Til then, I am 50-50 about it.

AnonD-481725, 31 Dec 2017Okay, i want to ask a question.
First, yesterday, after a ... moreYou should try it with another Android phone with at least dual speaker setup, like the HTC 10, U 11, Razer Phone, Huawei Mate 9, Mate 10/10 Pro, etc.
I'm afraid that it's an issue of your Xperia X that you may want to send to your nearest Sony service center for diagnostics.
I don't really use that app on my phone so I couldn't judge, but I'm about 50-50 sighted in your problem, either can be Android's software problem or the phone itself (and Sony's software).

This is how Sony phones are designed
You can see that phones like HTC U11, huawei p10 plus, mate 10 all have stereo speakers and both work all the time regardless whether it's in calls or WhatsApp audio

Okay, i want to ask a question.
First, yesterday, after a lot of complaints from my parents then after i have noticed by my self that my Sony Xperia x speakers are terribly low when it comes to whatsapp video and audio calls, during a video call with my sister i took my smartphone close to my ears, i noticed that it is working only on one speaker which is the bottom one, i did an audio call then i noticed that it is working on only the top speaker, while my sister's iPhone 8 is working on two speakers, stereo speakers been in Android since 2014 while in IOS been since last year and whatsapp is optimized for stereo speakers in IOS while still not for Android, why the heck are these companies so lame when it comes to Android??
The question is, anybody experiencing the same issue with his Android phone??

iPhone X with stacked mainboard already massively improved battery life in the somewhat "compact" category compared to iPhone 7 and even the iPhone 8 got better. The last sentence was probably just to calm down the fandroids, which are more than 80% of the readers I feel like.
