Currently, a large number of users who own mobile devices choose Android phones to be able to communicate in different ways thanks to the technology they have. If you are curious, it is possible that when they have purchased one of these items you have completely checked them to see if it has a factory failure. At the bottom, where they almost always place the headphone jack, there is a small hole that could be considered part of the design, but is it good for something special?

From now on we tell you that it is not a mistake in the design or something that has broken from the material. Although it doesn't seem important at first glance, this place houses one of the elements that allows communication through mobile devices. This topic has generated intrigue among a large number of Peruvians who have tried to understand its purpose by watching tutorials on YouTube or reading reviews on the Internet.

WHAT IS THE HOLE THAT APPEARS UNDER THE CELL PHONE?

If we check our cell phone we can find that there is a gap at the top and bottom, both are almost imperceptible. The first allows to improve the quality of calls by signal, reducing annoying noise. The second one performs the function of microphones, and no, it is not the speaker that we activate when they call us.

As this is one of the most delicate areas of your device, you need to be very careful, especially not to introduce any type of element, such as an earring, pin or other element that could damage this internal microphone that it has. Depending on each design, this hole is located next to the charging connection or hearing aids. One of the tips that technology experts share is always to keep it clean and avoid submerging it in substances or placing external elements on it.
