| [* black] Finally coming to an end of this friendship test, we fish out the last remaining components. | |

| + | [* icon_reminder] This is not just an acoustical win, but also one for repairability! The structure-borne speaker driver we found in the [guide|127743|Mate 30 Pro|stepid=249055|new_window=true] complicated display replacements.
