I wonder if the Air vent hole is to fix the issue I have had on multiple S22 Ultras. I have had 3 phones as the speaker would start to get static(blown speaker). I also seen numerous post about the speaker getting static from air preasure while flying. That air vent could be associated with the speaker to help equalize the preasure issues it has.

The S22U was the only phone I have ever had from Samsung that has done this let alone multiple times.

According to Jerry Rig Everything, the S23 Ultra Teardown shows that those 2 holes are for the MIC's, however, there is protection there so the SIM Tray Tool CANNOT damage anything if you accidentally put it in there. The hole is tapered smaller BEFORE it gets to the protecting seal so you cannot damage it.

The MIC actually sits ABOVE this membrane, so even if you managed to stick something in there and reach the membrane and poke it, the only thing you have accomplished is to make your phone less waterproof.

    I mean iPhones use three different mics so it's not inconceivable that Samsung decided to do so as well.
    Previous Samsung phones also had 3 microphones Since Note10+ , but this time it seems like they added a 4th one
    Two at the bottom, one at the top and one in the back beside the camera,
