I have noticed phones with a handset (like the one in the image) have a little cover that resembles something like a cold camera shoe under the bottom of the handset’s top speaker holder. Is there a use for it? It has a line bump in the middle, but it doesn’t go all the way from both sides, it leaves a gap. I have also seem some of them have extra space on the top of the cover, and some don’t.

    Thank you for providing a source, even still I’ve never heard the words “cold camera shoe” before, and nowhere is it written in the screenshot you provided, but apparently some people in this thread know what a “cold camera shoe” means And I find this all very amusing.

    and additionally amusing that OP knew to use those words to describe the thing even though OP didn’t know what the thing was intended for! Cuz I mean I know what the thing is intended for but I never knew it was called a cold camera shoe 😆

      Yeah, same! I thought I had a pretty good guess from the context, but “cold camera shoe” is a new term for me. Glad Lemmy has such a great community though, there are some awesome responses in this thread!
