Olá André. Gostaria de saber se aquela peça a direita do earpiece speaker é outro falante.

Questiono pq o meu Moto E2 apresenta um som meio chiado nas ligações, porém no viva voz ou reproduzindo mídia o som é limpo, normal.

Obrigado.

I almost bought another phone but I read it was common for these phones to have ear piece issues like mine does.

Thank You so much for the information it was perfect, I just ordered the ear piece.
