Surprisingly, the microphone issue seems widespread as Samsung s reported the mic problem months back though there has been no official fix or acknowledgement from the company.

Funnily, the microphone issue seems to get fixed by the same old school workaround Google Pixel 2 s reported, by blowing air into the bottom speaker. As we mentioned, a similar temporary fix was being tried by Pixel 2 s who were affected by the microphone issue. Several Samsung s vented their frustration on the company's official forums for the respective devices. The Reddit who reported microphone issue on his Pixel spotted similar issues on Samsung forums. Some s claim that switching to speaker phone on call also fixes the issue.

The microphone issue seems to be more or less similar for most Pixel 2, Pixel 2 XL), Galaxy S8, and Galaxy Note 8 units are hardware related.

Some s, however, have claimed that the microphone issue was fixed by downgrading the software version or disabling a particular app. We will have to, however, wait for either Google or Samsung to come out officially and acknowledge the issues.
