[benhaube]

Hello everyone, I have noticed a rattling sound in the top of the phone in the back by the camera. Has anyone else experienced this?

No.

It is probably the sim eject button. there is a little pin in the hole that moves around. To test put the sim eject tool in the hole and shake the phone you should not hear it any more

I have no rattles from my device. If it isn't the SIM tray, return it.

Mine does not rattle...

Nearly every phone I've had has this rattle. It will be the camera mechanism. Don't worry about it.

Yeah mine rattles from the camera area if i shake it hard enough.

It's the camera. I have it too. Perfectly normal.

Never noticed any rattling... until I read this post... and shook the phone near my ear... and heard rattling... thanks a lot.

Thank you everyone for your replies. I have done some additional research on the topic and apparently some types of vibration motors can also cause this rattling sound.

I just wanted to make sure I wasn't the only one having this noise.

My 5X rattles a little. My S5 did the exact same thing and I always read it was the camera/focus mechanism. I wouldn't worry about it.

I have two phones and both of them have the rattle.
