With little effort, we remove the speaker assembly from the midframe.

Unlike the dual front-facing speakers in the HTC One, the S4 keeps its primary speaker down at the bottom of the back of the phone.

This is the prime location for a speaker if your ears are attached to your hand while holding the device.

While the sound quality may not be hot and fresh out the kitchen, the speaker does pack quite the punch and can pump out your favorite mashups loud and clear.
