For alerts and spur-of-the-moment music, they work fine and get reasonably loud, though. If you're going to watch movies or shows in landscape, consider headphones. Cupping the two sides of the phone to better direct the sound to your face helps reduce the difference, but that's dumb. I had hoped Google might dial this in a little better with an update, but it doesn't seem to have been adjusted according to my ears.

Usually, there’s at least some difference between the two speakers in this kind of configuration, but this is strong enough that it can be distracting at times, with the bottom speaker approaching almost twice as loud with certain kinds of content. Stereo sound via the bottom-firing speaker and earpiece is very imbalanced. Google tells us the non-mmWave version (which apparently the US won’t be getting) has more traditional antenna bands on top.

There’s only one mmWave-equipped version of the Pixel 6 Pro available here in the US, so you don’t have the sort of weird situation with multiple models that you’ve got with the “smaller” version of the phone, but it does mean the top of the phone’s polished metal frame has a wide plastic insert.
