Bottom speakers?

[HyperM3]

Is anyone else noticing that sound only comes out of the bottom right speaker? What exactly is the left one for?

So what is the little hole at the top of the phone? I thought that was the mic

So when you call on speaker, the secondary microphone helps to remove the unnecessary sounds generated from the speaker.

When you call in general. And also to record stereo audio.

Funny story, years ago, can't remember which iPhone but a buddy calls me up and said his phone isn't working cause one of the speakers had no sound. He said he was opening a support call with apple. I said "which speaker?" And he says "bottom right!" and right away I told him that was a microphone not a speaker lol. Most phones are like this.
