Which is better for outdoor use?

Both are waterproof. The Bose adds dust protection and weighs far less, so it suits the beach or a hike. The Soundcore is louder and better for a patio where it stays put.

The Soundcore Motion X600. Its 50W five-driver array and upward-firing drivers produce stereo and spatial audio from one unit. The Bose Flex is mono alone and rated 20W RMS.

Do I need two speakers for stereo?

On the Bose, yes: stereo only when two Flex speakers are paired. The Soundcore plays stereo from a single speaker.

Which is easier to travel with?

The Bose SoundLink Flex 2nd Gen at 1.29 lbs. The Soundcore Motion X600 weighs 5.57 lbs.

Does either have a speakerphone?

The Bose Flex has one. The Soundcore Motion X600 does not list a speakerphone.

Is the Soundcore worth it over the Bose?

If you want loud stereo sound in one place, yes. If portability and dust protection matter more, the Bose is the better fit. Compare current prices on Deal.ai.
