Anyone with a nexus 6p that makes a rattling noise?

I have a nexus6p that makes a rattling noise when there is a slight tap on the camera. It's really annoying and it kinda goes away when the camera is activated.Whenever I place the phone on a table it makes a rattling noise. Has anyone returned their phone for this specific reason and gotten a new one? If so was it better than your previous one? Thanks

I had three units that all did the same. It's just the camera module or something around it. Many others have reported it as well and doesn't warrant an RMA in my opinion.

I heard it when I would tap the top right of the phone, put it down on a table or any surface really.

Same thing on 2 different units. It's pretty light but still noticeable when I place it down on a table. Don't really think it's a problem though.

Not a problem. Literally all modern cameras have the rattle. Try an iPhone or a galaxy s6 and you'll hear it too.

Have the same problem, glad to hear is not an issue because it would have been pretty hard for me to RMA

The rattle is the camera autofocus mechanism. All phones with autofocus cameras have this rattle - Android and iPhone both.

It's not a defect.

You're hearing the moving parts of the mechanism itself.
