Hello,
There's a strange rattling noise when I move the phone back and forth like something is loose inside the phone near the camera module. Does anyone else have the same experience? Is this related to the gimbal/OIS or a defect? I don't remember if I had this from day one, just noticed it a couple of days back.
Regards.
I have the same thing, Chinese version. Noticed from day 1, no issues with camera. I'm assuming it's the gimbal
Having something similar when i play games and there is vibration, only noticeable at night when there is absolute silence. I suppose its the gimbal, no problems whatsoever, and only noticeable on no noise at night.
Yes, it is the Camera stabilization system and it is natural.

Hi
I don't know if this is normal so I had to ask.
When I tap the back camera or around it sounds like something is loose. I don't have camera issues, but it doesn't sound normal and it bothers me because I can hear it when I throw the phone on the bed from a short distance.
Are you experiencing this?
Yes, those tik tik what you hear are the lens. They moving forward and back, I think around max a 1mm, the system is electromagnetic to let them move forward and back to get focus, zoom some kind of stuff like that.
I don't remember if the system working exactly like that but close.
Mystery solved as I have it too, all we have, who don't have it do not have good ears..lol..
Recently the camera has started to exhibit some odd behaviour. Occasionally when launching the app, the camera will take several seconds to focus and you can actually hear quite clearly some kind of mechanical noises going on. It's not every time the case but this never happened before...
Anyone else encountered this strange issue? I will do some more testing in different lighting conditions to get a better grasp on the issue.
Anyone else got the same problem? I know that it's somehow normal due to the OIS but mine does it everytime I put the phone down on the bed or just pick him quickly.
And nop, the camera is not affected at this moment but still...
The sound is even more present when I shake the phone. Never had this problem with S8+/P20 PRO
It's been two days since I started using this phone.
Today, I can hear an excessive sound coming either from the camera lens or the front speaker. {Noise heard better from front side of the phone}
This happens when you try to shake or flip the phone even gently. I know usually the camera lens on every phone makes a little noise.
But this is extreme. It's almost like there's a tiny piece of hardware broken inside and it's moving even if you shake the phone gently. I either did not observe this issue or it wasn't there for the first two days.
Can anyone confirm if it's the same?

Yes, even in mine there is a kind of muffled noise
Hi guys.
It's from the cameras. If you try this with the camera app open you will see that the noise stops.
Optical Image Stabilisation most likely. Camera lens can move to handle shake.
I don't hear anything noticeable from mine. Just a VERY slight muffled noise if I shake it while holding the lenses right up to my ear, but nothing I would notice if I wasn't specifically trying to find a noise.
So by complete accident I noticed that whenever I shake my 11 Ultra, a strong rattling sound comes from the top portion of the phone, like there's something loose inside. After a bit of testing I assumed it's the OIS from the wide angle, since whenever that camera is used, and the OIS kicks in, the sound when shaken becomes very small. But anyways, is this normal?
This may sound like a strange request, but please, could you people shake your device and give a feedback here to know if it's just my unit?
It’s normal.
Ah ah by accident too, i noticed the same few days ago.
And when i change camera lens in pro mode, i have a little sound similary as haptic.
That's reassuring, i am not the only one. But why we have this thing ?
It's the camera and OIS. It's normal.

It’s the stabilization module inside the camera shaking. It’s a moving part so it’s basically floating when you’re not using it. When you shake the phone you make it move inside the camera, thus the rattling noise.
And obviously, it’s for stabilizing the camera when you’re moving so you don’t get the blur effect.
Thank you guys for your feedback, good to know that it's normal. Have a nice day everyone!
