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.
It’s ok. English is my first language and I don’t understand what OP means by “cold camera shoe.”
It’s an adapter for attaching your camera to various mounts. Which, honestly, should give OP a very strong indication as to what it’s for.
