Does anyone know why there's a small computer chip inside the back cover next to the camera holes? Is it attached to anything? How do I remove one from a cracked cover and put it on a replacement that doesn't have one?
Is this a good question?

Hi @daddyho
Looking at some zoomed in images taken from Step.13 of the ifixit Samsung Galaxy S20 Back Cover Replacement guide, it appears that the component is the board with the upper microphone.
It connects to the mainboard contacts directly below it when the back cover is in place.
As to how it is removed I don't know. It may only be glued onto the back cover.

That sounds logical, I'll try to take a look next week and see how it might be removed. Unless somebody more competent beats me to it 😅
Have you figured out how to remove it from the broken back cover to put on the new back cover?

@lucyb39434, According to the Spanish site Nadie Me Llama Gallina, it's the rear microphone. Their guide is a little vague on the exact method of removal, but seems to be pretty clear that all you have to do is pry it off; here's a picture from their guide that should help.
