The bottom grille is the stereo speaker, and the audio is surprisingly good\u2014it can get decently loud! I had to relearn how to download music, but once I did, I uploaded a few albums, like\u00a0GNX<\/a>,<\/em>\u00a0through the Light Phone’s web dashboard on my PC. (The phone has 128 GB of internal storage.) Unfortunately, there’s no headphone jack, but you can use Bluetooth to pair wireless earbuds. It paired swiftly with my car’s Bluetooth so I could pump out tunes or podcasts on rides. Speaking of, it’s easy to add specific podcasts<\/a> through the online dashboard, and you can force the Podcasts tool to sync on the device to get new episodes.<\/p>\n

Microphone quality is also rock solid. I took multiple calls, and no one found my voice quality lacking. Even in the Notes app, you can either write notes or record voice memos, and my voice sounds clear, though I primarily recorded myself in relatively quiet environments.<\/p>\n

The 1,800-mAh battery easily lasts around two days. If you play music or podcasts for several hours, that will drop down considerably. It charges via USB-C. Four screws on the back allow for easier battery replacements, though this means you get just an IP54 water resistance rating<\/a>; fine in the rain, but don’t drop it in water.<\/p>\n
