S23 Ultra rattling when shaken

[Joeevaughan]

So I notice this morning that when I shake my S23 Ultra I can hear something rattling around inside. So I grabbed my girls S23 Ultra and gave it a little shake and it has the same rattling sound, almost like somethings loose. We haven't dropped either of the phones and they both have glass screen protectors and cases. So I guess I'm wondering if anyone else out there who has an S23 Ultra is doing the same thing? Is it normal? I've never owned a phone that make a noise when you have it a little shake. So give you S23 Ultra a little shake and put your ear up to it and see if you hear something. If so let me know or if its normal let us know lol. Thanks.

it's normal...same in my S22U. if I remember correctly, part of the camera module's internal workings.

OK thanks I figured it had to be something normal seeing as how we both just got our S23 Ultras.

Same with an A53. I never tried until you mentioned it lol.

Wondering why you felt the need to anyway? Do you expect loose parts?

[Joeevaughan]

No I did it on accident the first time, went to make a call and my phone almost slipped out of my hand and I heard it and was like what's that noise. Glad it's a normal thing tho.

You can tell your doctor that your hearing is still great 😃

It's the cameras optical image stabilization, you're hearing your camera bouncing around. You probably won't damage it since it's meant to survive daily life but I probably wouldn't go around rattling it on purpose either.

Best answer.

Agreed, don't shake it needlessly.

That might be the SIM Card Tray inside is rattling.. 🤔

But nothing wrong with it, no need to worries
