Accidentally Poked mic hole of s23 ultra

[OzzyLihija]

Hi everyone. Received my s23 ultra earlier. After testing the phone, I took a nap. However, I decided to add another sim on the slot when I woke up. I accidentally inserted the sim ejector pin to one of the tiny mic holes at the bottom with enough force thinking to eject the sim slot. My question is, is there some kind of barrier to protect the mic from being poked? I recorded multiple vids and made calls, mic is ok they said.. I hope the pin didnt puncture through the mic. Any help and suggestions would be appreciated.

I pulled this off the Internet, it's in reference to the S22 Ultra but I can't imagine it would be any different for the S23 Ultra:

Apparently, Samsung has anticipated that you might accidentally do this and narrowed the microphone hole as you go deeper, meaning you can't even get to the end. Even if you do force your way through by some miracle, the company has also placed the waterproof screen and gold microphone square to the side of the hole, so they can't sustain any damage.

Hi @OzzyLihija 

Samsung has indeed allowed for this user error to allow for a person accidentally pushing the sim ejector tool into the wrong hole.

You'd certainly be unfortunate if your mic was damaged.

You can run a diagnostic test with the tool in your Samsung Members app.

And if necessary a Samsung Service Centre can assess your phone.

If I can be of any further help then please don't hesitate. Take care.  😎

I see.. I just saw a video on YouTube that there is a waterproof barrier at the bottom of an s22 ultra.. I guess it would also be the same with s23 ultra. Thanks so much for commenting. I'm a bit relieved now.

[OzzyLihija]

Oh. Yeah. Right. Didn't think about running a diagnostic test. I'll do it now. Thanks a lot mate..

[OzzyLihija]

😂 I know.. was half awake when I did that. I blame my sleepy head for that. So far, diagnostic test says mic is fine.

[OzzyLihija]
