Loose Camera Lens

[werkx]

Well, something is loose in the rear camera area. Recently, I noticed noise in the area when I shake the phone. At first I thought it was the SIM tray, but I removed it and the noise persist when I shake it.

I tested it further by activating the rear camera then shake the phone. The noise is not as prominent but still there, even when fully zoomed.

I don't see difference in recent photos compared to those prior to the noise. So that's a good thing.

Anyone else notice similar? Should I be worried?

Hello! I've never encountered this problem on my S10. Do you have any kind of device protection or warranty on your phone? Did you just get it?

That's most likely normal: www.samsung.com/za/support/mobile-d...-i-hear-when-i-shake-my-samsung-galaxy-alpha/

I think it is the OIS system rattling.

I agree with both of you. I hear that rattle in my device too. It's been there since I've had the phone.

Have had it over a year now. I don't remember it being this prominent.

Thanks everyone. I don't remember it being this prominent though, so was a bit worried.

Phew! So glad that you are feeling better and that this is a normal thing!
