We continue our sleuthing along the bottom of the phone and come across what appears to be a speaker box.

Front-facing speakers are becoming a bit of a trademark for Google, and were found in last year's Nexus 9 and the Nexus 6.

We suspect Google's motive for including these front-facing speakers is simple enough: people prefer speakers that face them.

Of course that says nothing about how it actually sounds. We'll have to wait until we put our 6P back together to give it a listen.
