Is the ear speaker above the front camera cutout on the front or that extra hole by the sim tray on top?
 
Above the front camera hole. The hole on top near the Sim tray is also a speaker chamber for when watching videos, etc.
 
Thanks, I looked at the display model for about 10 minutes and could not remember seeing the ear speaker.

I was looking at that too... I'm pretty sure they didn't put them on Demo units, because there not made to use for calls. And the little hole at the top of the phone by the SIM tray, is another Mic for the audio focus.

I think you mean the little hole that is away from the SIM tray which is the traditional mic that I think is used to improve phone call audio (and also on the Note 8, 9, etc.). The larger hole near the SIM tray is a speaker.

Apparently the ear speaker consists of just 2 dots above the camera on the tiny bezel so I imagine it hard to see.

Also, I read on XDA that the audio focus speaker is actually on the rim of the 3 camera array on the back of the phone, which is also almost impossible to see.

Looks like a very thin slit along the top of the phone from what I've seen. You really have to look for it.

Is that the ear speaker? Has anyone confirmed the call quality on the Note 10 yet?

I thought that slot on top next to the sim tray was for the new Zoom Mic feature when shooting videos?

Isn't the front speaker in the ear piece like in the S10?
