I poke a hole inside my mic tray with my sim card tool on my new S10
Did I broke anything?

No, I did this with my s10+ and It didnt do anything to it, as samsung actually has a protective layer preventing the mic from getting broken when a needle is placed through it, it probably wont be water resistant anymore though.

it really won't be water resistance? How common is that?

Either way, you've punctured the sealant for the mic, so it wont be water resistant, it'll still work though.

No the actual microphone is off center so you just hit the frame of your device.
so, there's no danger?
No the microphone isn't in line with the hole.
No. They specifically designed the phone just in case people did the exact thing you did.
does it affect the phone's water resistance?
Not that I know of.
