Speaker positioning is problematic in landscape mode [not relevant]
asked 2014-02-05 13:52:24 +0200
The position of the speaker in the bottom-left corner of the Jolla device (held in portrait mode) is a bit problematic, because when you hold the phone in landscape mode (e.g. for playing games), you'll likely cover the speaker entirely with your right hand. This is a suggestion for future devices/hardware revisions to move the speaker to the other air vent (bottom right corner) instead, or at least take this use case into account during the design.

Any top/bottom position is problematic when holding the phone in landscape. A solution like the HTC One would be awesome (speakers on the front).

Currently when I hold the phone in landscape mode I cover the bottom "air vent" entirely and the top one not at all, hence the suggestion. Either way, other positioning might work as well, but the important thing is that the use case is taken into consideration.
