S22 Ultra design question

[vjoshi]

I just received the S22 Ultra 512 GB in green from T-Mobile in the US. First thing I noticed is this oval object on the side of the phone below the lock button that is a slightly different shade of green. It stuck out to me because it isn't quite flush with the side of the phone, and of the slight color difference. Also, I can't seem to find this in any of the promotional photography.

Any help?

That is a plastic cutout in the aluminum frame so the color is slightly different. The cutout is for the 5g uwb antennae.

Thank you! It's been driving me crazy trying to find info on it. This gives me some piece of mind.
