Re: SamMobile reporting "Hundreds" reportin camera defects dust/condensation. Anyone here??

I opened the galaxy store last night and there was a camera update. It does not rock near as loud now. I'm not sure what it has to do with it as I don't know much about how it works.
I'll take a look...thanks

Still very early but mine appears to be fine. It is a tad concerning the level of noise the camera makes when slightly rattled though and it happens when you gently toss your phone down on a table.

Yes, mine is rattle bucket also. I believe it's even worst than the S20 Ultra was.

Wow...there were 14 updates there including the camera. The update claims it added a depth guide pop up for close range shooting. I thought that was already there. Still no change in rattle for me.Screenshot_20200820-212225_Galaxy%20Store.jpeg

Thsts normal...its the image stabilization and goes quiet if you open the camera app

Didn't know that but it makes sense and yup it doesn't do it when the camera is on. Thanks for the info.

Please forward to the 21:30 mark on the Note 20 tear down. That Periscope lens just rides on that track and guessing when not active is not “parked” and will just freely move like OIS. It looks to have quite a bit of travel so that’s why I thought the noise would be coming from that lens slapping back and forth. Very timely video.

Makes me think I shouldn’t be running with it or trail riding with it cause I just can’t imagine it being able to endure long term in those conditions.

As far as I know its the image stabilization. Happens on pro cameras too. However now that you mentioned the periscope, I tried it on the Note 10 and its quiet but that doesn't confirm anything either way since they are two different setups. I don't think its an issue in any event.

I read somewhere that it is only reported in their home market, just a bad batch of phones

I am pretty sure I've read and seen reviews that mention that the rattle is the periscope and completely normal. Doesn't the S20 a
experience the same?

Yikes. Mine rattled last night and I was wondering what was going on. I figured it might have something to do with the periscope camera. Good thing I got the Galaxy Watch 3 LTE so I don't have to bring my phone with while running.
