Rear Mic?

[Starfleet Captain]

I see that on the Galaxy S20 Ultra and on the standard Galaxy Note 20, the phones have a mic on the camera platforms for zoom in audio. I can only find 2 mics on the Note 20 Ultra (on the top and bottom of the phones). Is there a hidden rear mic somewhere on the device or does it utilize these 2 mics in a better way somehow?

According to post on XDA forum:

Why does the N20U only have 2 Microphones?

So, there is one but it's on the side if the hump. The issue is now cases blocking it, to that I say. Aren't cases suppose to take into account of that?

Yes a pretty stupid placement

Oh I see it now. It's a really small hard to see gap on the lower right side of the camera platform. That's a really odd place to put it. I wonder how it affects functionality. Maybe they were trying to make it more stylish by not making it obvious...

I thought that hole on the side of the camera had to do with the 5x lens

I wonder if based did. Because I can't confirm yet if the OtterBox Defender Pro does

So that’s the mic eh?? Whew! Opening my box today and doing a close inspection of every nook I saw this and thought some sort of fit/defect issue?? I kinda like it hidden away but yeah it does put into question cases covering it up.

I preordered a Latercase in Kevlar. I just sent an email to see if they are covering the mic or not.

Looking at my Spigens there is no cutout for the mic so we'll see how it performs.
