Z5 mic hole???

Von — Thu, 05 May 2016 16:49:22 GMT

Is this a mic pin hole near located inside the charging port? A very tiny hole at the left side area. I'm just worried, what if any water could get in. You could see it by only using a flashlight. Remember, it is located inside the charging port, left side area. Pls do give me a peace of mind. Thanks

The "mic hole" it's next to the headset jack.

What you see at the botton it's the strap hole

I already know about the strap, what I mean is its inside the USB cable port not near it.

@Von

my bad, there shouldn't be anything other than the USB cable port in there

I know, mate. But if you look closely and use a flashlight you could notice theres a very tiny pinhole in it at the left side.

No idea where I should see that. Any other indicators?

There is no indicator. You can see it without a flashlight, it is very tiny. When you loot at the port you'll see the line, right? For the cable to connect. But as you will look closely to its left side theres a tiny hole in it.

Checked the Z5 compact, there are 2 small holes at the sides of the USB port (inside), but don't think those can be microphones.

They are where the waterproof filler is moulded around the connector.

The microphone is located inside the bottom speaker
