The small round hole in the phone has a very important function

The presence of the secondary microphone significantly enhances the quality of phone calls. When you speak, your voice is picked up by both microphones. The primary microphone captures your voice while the secondary microphone listens for ambient sounds around you, such as traffic, wind, or other people talking. This secondary microphone then helps to filter out the unwanted background noise, allowing the primary microphone to focus on your voice, resulting in clearer sound transmission
