Lumia 950 Speaker Audio vs. 1520 vs. 920

I currently have the Lumia 920 and was wondering if the speaker audio on the 950 is better than the speaker audio on the 1520 and 920.

From what I've read from reviews, the 1520 speaker is better out the three.

I have been searching to see if I can find a comparison. I have the 920 and am stuck on whether to get the 1520 or get the 950.

So, is speaker quality your number 1? From this sites review, WC specifically stated that the speaker quality is "tiny" compared to the 1520. Also from reviews of the 1520, from Youtube and similar, others have stated the speaker quality is louder and clearer than the 920. So I'm just aligning reviews.

Not my number 1 priority. But would like to have a phone with a good speaker for when I am watching metrotube, listening to music or on a conference call. I have been really happy with my 920 but after 3+ years I think it is time to upgrade and I am stuck between the 1520 and 950.

Speaker quality is not my #1 priority.

I'd probably go with the 950 then, since its more future proof. With a more powerful doc, more ram, a better screen and camera, I guess you can't go wrong.

The 1520 is still a great phone. I didn't buy a 950/xl just because it's still running so great and picture is still superior to some new phones. Glance screen, double tap to wake, speaker, battery life, hardware buttons and it's screen size is hard to part with.

No official review but I do have the 920 and 950. I'll say this, you will not be blown away by the speaker on the 950. I liked the position of the speaker on the 920 much better and the 950 is not bad, but just average IMHO.
