Received s21 ultra exynos 3 days ago and noticed on the second day of use a rattle coming from the camera after a quick search on previous devices it comes up with a answer of optical image stabizer just want to know if this is normal as its quite  annoying on a phone that cost over £1000

Also when first switched on a smell of plastic/burning came from device then cleared and only comes back at first time of charging ? Any others with this issue ? Thanks in advance

it's got a moving camera sensor, so the rattle will be normal.
Have you removed all the plactic coverings from the phone? maybe that's the smell.

Hi,
Best advice i will give contact samsung regarding the smell when charging ur phone. They can replace ur phone. This doesn't sound right and we wouldn't want anything to explode.
