Galaxy S24 Ultra have Hidden Zoom Audio Microphone
Samsung has debuted its Galaxy S24 series and mentioned detailed information about essential features and specs on the official website, but that doesn’t mean that there is nothing more except the mentioned details.
The Galaxy S24 Ultra has some of the hidden parts that you must know as a Galaxy enthusiast, including an Extra Microphone.
The Galaxy S24 Ultra features more than the things mentioned in the official forum. It has an extra microphone, which is housed on the right side of the ultra-wide camera lens. However, this is not news since the brand has attached the same microphone to all the other Ultra variants of the Galaxy S series.
A Hidden Zoom Audio Microphone Spotted on Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra
The main aim of attaching these hidden and extra microphones from the brand is to improve the audio zoom quality while recording a video so that the users don’t have to compromise on the audio quality of the video.
This is speculated by the post on X, formerly Twitter, shared by @Sondesix, which elaborates on this extra microphone.
This time, the brand has attached this extra microphone in the Galaxy S24 series to the right side of the ultra-wide camera. Whereas on the previous Galaxy devices, this microphone was housed at the bottom of the ultra-wide sensor. Despite being a Galaxy enthusiast, most of the users don’t even know about this microphone. This is true, since a post on X shared by @WaitZaR999 has been spotted in which the user has mentioned that he didn’t even know about this microphone and also mentioned that “It’s very hard to notice it unless you really look for it.”
The controversy didn’t end here yet. In a recent Samsung Community post, a Galaxy S24 Ultra user asked, “Has anyone else noticed the small cutout notch on the rear camera ring on the S24 Ultra? I’ve searched online, and some have said it’s a microphone for the Zoom mic. But according to Samsung, the S24 Ultra only has two mics: one at the bottom and one at the top.”
Moving on to the next, some X users also asked a question about whether using a case with their Galaxy S24 phone affects the functionality of this tiny microphone, and the answer appears in a single word: ‘No’.
Basically, there is no rocket science in these tiny camera-specific microphones on Samsung devices. Whereas on the best iPhones, the fruit company also attached these audio zoom microphones, but they easily appear as small, cylindrical dots in the glass housing that surrounds the rear cameras. But on Samsung devices, these microphones are pretty hard to find.
Following the successful launch of the Galaxy S24 flagship device, several rumors have started circulating on the internet. Now, according to the latest development, there is a new listing coming in the highlight, which means the phone is under development and will be available on the market soon.
Some reports suggest that the Galaxy S24 FE, currently under development under the code name R12, could make its market debut in late 2024. Rumors suggest that the Galaxy S24 FE will initially be available in limited markets before potentially launching globally in 2024.
The Internet has also surfaced some rumored specs of the S24 FE, revealing several details about the device, including a 6.1-inch AMOLED display, 128 GB and 256 GB of RAM, and 12 GB of LPDDR5X RAM. It might have a 4500 mAh battery for power backup.
Samsung hasn’t officially revealed anything about the Galaxy S24 FE’s features or release date yet. However, a listing in a UK carrier database suggests this phone – known for offering flagship specs at a lower price – is coming soon.
Samsung Galaxy devices come with numerous customizable applications that offer a multitude of options, enabling users to easily customize the UI elements and participate in the Galaxy ecosystem. Among the many modules available, the Lockstar module offers the ability to customize the lock screen.
With the lockstar module, users get some additional options to customize the lock screen and AOD of the Galaxy smartphone and tablet. Unfortunately, it doesn’t provide the AOD-related customization feature for the Galaxy S24 yet, but now there is good news for the users as the company has confirmed to provide some additional settings for managing the Always on Display screen.
According to the information, some Galaxy S24 users in Korea have made numerous complaints and demanded some customizability of AOD through Lockstar. However, it is unclear if these changes will be implemented through the next application update or in a different way. However, the Good Lock support team has confirmed that they are actively working on this issue.
If we talk about the AOD customization option available on other devices, you can change the color and style of the clock and other elements, and you can also manage the brightness of the AOD manually.

Notably, the lavender/purple color, which has been a staple on the Z Flips, is missing. Jumping on the Galaxy Z Fold 6, so the color options are still similar as previously reported.
