I am trying to identify this part (on left) which I found while cleaning my room. I have placed a micro SD card next to it to give an idea of its size.

part next to microSD

Update: This is what the rear looks like: enter image description here

    \$\begingroup\$ Almost certainly an LED as Anindo says. BUT why is the photos not sharp so we can see it MUCH more clearly. Use more light. If necessary move further away into focus range. If necessary brace camera / phone on something solid. Almost any camera or phone-camera will do much better than this. Having enough light often makes an immense difference. \$\endgroup\$
