Where ever i read three are several people going through all sorts of issues with G5. Iam currently waiting for mine but all these QC issues are really starting to make me worried.
Now i am not sure wether to go ahead or cancel my pre order.
Mine is flawless. Looks perfect, no headphone issues, wifi calling works. I guess I haven't looked at screen bleed but don't really care about that. Haven't noticed any screen bloom.

Thats good to hear.
Anyone else has anything to chip in ?
I'm on the way to pick mine up so I will tell you how my unit looks . I have said that if there is any problem with the look of mine that it's going to go back
No flaws with mine. Haven't look for light bleed though. Don't care about it.

True, I dont see people complaining about iphone quality that much.
But all things aside, I am hoping that UK dont get that many defective units since we have stricter QC measure in place.
Like most things, people dont bother to write unless they have a complaint. So im sure for every complaint you hear there are a hundred happy people. I have had mine since release day and the only thing i am dissapointed in is the volume buttons being on the side(which i all ready knew).

Glad to hear u are happy with your G5.
As for the volume control I am glad that they decided to put it on the side, since its easier for me to skip tracks easily while phone is in my pocket but with my G3 i have to really search for it and most of the times i would just hit the power button or camera lens
Camera lens scratched already.
I've had the phone since April 1st and i've been very happy with, however i just noticed that my Camera's glass cover in the back is already scratched. I have a case on the phone and I've been very careful with the phone. I'm very disappointed and annoyed that this got scratched up so easily! has anyone else noticed this? just seems like a very cheap material in the back. Is there any protector i can buy or will it distort the image?

That sucks. I'm pretty certain I saw a case on Amazon that covers the camera as well. Yes, it must distort the photo a LITTLE but hopefully not much. Maybe it was the Lifeproof case?

Looks like you dont have a case on your phone, and since G5 has a camera bump it is bound to get scratched when left on a hard surface.

Keep your order. It'll be worth it for you trust me. Got mine from ee today. Absolutely amazing phone and in perfect condition with amazing build quality.
I've been very happy with the build quality of mine (had it since Wednesday), moving from a Nexus 5X the quality is in such a higher league in my opinion. So I am very happy. If build quality is your only concern I wouldn't worry, like others have said for every one complaint there will of been many more who have been fine! The phone (at least in the UK anyway) comes with a 2 year warranty (one year for the battery) so that has to go some way in showing that LG believe tha5 the build quality of the phone will last at least that amount of time. I've only got one problem so far which is that the camera, on both the normal and wide angle (although more noticeable on the wide angle) seems to distort massively, almost as though you are shooting through a plastic protective cover. Although I've picked at the camera it doesn't appear one was on it out of the box and I don't want to try too much harder in case it isn't and it is just a terrible software bug that it causing it! The camera in the 5X has been amazing in low light and this feels a bit of a deal breaker for me personally (the camera is the main feature even above battery). Has anyone else had to remove some a plastic cover from the camera after taking it out the box?

M8 i would just take it back and replace it, no point in taking a chance.
My G5 is flawless and looks amazing.
Got mine 4-1-16 and have had zero issues. No light bleed no calling or headphone jax issues no gaps and some say that the side ring or whatever around the phone is like sharp or something mine is not. Some people are saying the battery life sucks but mine is great i get 5 to 5.5 hours screen on time. Also if the screen is off over 8 hours like if i dont charge at night i get maybe 5 to 8% drop at most.
My suggestion is when you get your phone if you see anything wrong like sharp edges gaps light bleed go and exchange for a new one. I think I heard Lg has multiple plants manufacturing the phone and one of them must be effing up big time. I got mine at best buy so I dunno if that makes a difference
I've heard more complaints with the build quality of this phone than with any other in recent memory.
Yes, some may be nitpicky, but for a damn near $700 device, we're allowed to be picky.
I'm not saying it's a bad device, I'm just going by what I've been researching/seen instore. It sounds like it performs like a Champ but you may have to go through a few to get a solid built one.

Cool story bro. I heard Samsung is coming out with a new phone for Sprint, you should try it out.
On my third. The first was for light leakage and a yellow tint. The second had leakage as well, so I figured I would live with it, but that one had a power button that wasn't responsive without pushing it down really hard.
This one has light leakage but everything else is fine. I'll live with it.

Anyone tried taking theirs back for the crooked screen? If so, did they replace it? Thinking about trying. Sometimes I don't really notice it, but there are sometimes when it really seems to show out more than others.
On your new one look closely for dirt under the screen..I'm sure you will find a spec some where.Then you can return it again.
And I'm sure no one would have noticed the crooked screens if it weren't for that thread...I feel like I'm the only person in the world who actually returned their phone for an actual defect that caused
the phone to not operate as intended.

Your so much better than everyone else. You probably are the only legit person here. I paid full price for this phone. My laptop doesn't have a crooked screen and it cost less than this phone. Sorry for expecting my $550 phone to have a straight screen. Plus, FYI, I noticed the crooked screen without ever reading one thing on here about it. In fact, I had no idea anyone else had noticed it until I came here to post about mine and saw the thread! Imagine that! You are wrong about something!
Yeah,imagine that....Well maybe if someone had 6 issues with 6 different phones then maybe that person should look for a different product..If i had to get something replaced that many times I can tell you that product/company would not get my business...If you've replaced a product that many times you're never going to be happy.Save yourself the headache in searching for the perfect phone and just give it up and move on.
<side note> If i paid full price sure i'd be a bit more picky,but 6 times? Does the company even deserve your hard earned money at that point?

Yes, they should. Can't imagine you'd get any flack unless you get a turd of a store. Only returned mine once: for the crooked screen. New one is perfect. Local Sprint store even let me sit down in their repair room and open and check out the brand new one before they even activated it. I confirmed the screen was straight, used the camera and gallery to search for dead pixels and then when I was satisfied, they swapped them and activated the new one. Great service!
P.S. Manager at that store commented that my screen was pretty bad. His was slightly crooked too and he said he was going to swap his out later but we both said the one I exchanged was twice as bad! Drag the notification bar down and the left edge of the notification bar on the bottom was actually underneath the blackout it was so crooked! It's only half to 3/4 of a millimeter but that's easily noticeable and since the digitizer (top glass panel) is straight and the LCD panel underneath is crooked, it can actually throw off the touch response. Straight digitizer + crooked screen = some keys on keyboard (and buttons in some apps) don't align properly and you end up pressing the wrong thing sometimes.

I definitely agree with you on that point. I haven't taken my phone back yet because of the slightly crooked screen, but am thinking about it. It doesn't affect the function of the phone one bit, but it is a bit annoying when I see it. Like I said before it is not always noticeable, but there are certain times it is.
Some people are never satisfied and that's just the way it is.

If your screen is crooked and you noticed it with out the thread in this forum pointing it out to you then maybe your screen is crooked enough to warrant a swap out..My screen actually bricked on 3d content and anytime 3d activated,my phone would restart every time..If this phone I have now had an issue then I'd be done with it..I love the phone,but I think a lot of people here are wanting to love theirs and that's where the picky-ness sets in..I get it but I don't want to look forward to liking a product I buy..I want to like it for being what it is and performing the way it was intended...

There are a lot of folks that have had problems with the camera on this model too. Google "HTC One camera focus", and you will see what I mean. Also, there are issues with many people having blue and purple graininess in low-light conditions. Supposedly, HTC is working on a "software fix" for both issues, but I am not holding my breath.
I have the G2 right now and I came from HTC one. I believe HTC one has a much better camera in low light. G2 over processes the pictures and night pictures are horrible. I have yet to see a phone that takes better pics than HTC one at night. I'd rather have a good night camera since most of my pics are indoors over something like G2 that is just not working for me. Wide angle lens has me kind of spoiled too.

If you're up for it run a custom ROM and never fret about manufacturer updates again. Stock software problems become non-issues.
Quite simply, the images themselves are not bad, but the lens distorts horribly. It's too wide and people look silly.
Since you specifically asked about the camera... I honestly couldn't recommend this phone any less (due to the camera.) The phone itself? Excellent. Mine has minor build quality defects, but I don't foresee them to be detrimental to the livelihood of the phone over the next few years.
The camera, however, is incredibly unreliable, and not up to snuff with the standards set in smart phones over the past few years. My Galaxy S2 took marginally better photos than this camera is capable of. Good shots from this shooter are, quite literally, 1 out of 100. It only adds insult to injury that these good shots are pretty damn good. Not once have I managed to whip the phone out and point-and-shoot my way to a great shot on the first attempt, either. Here's a few examples of what I consider to be worthy shots from this camera. Each one took around 4-5 attempts to remedy focusing/white balancing/ISO issues. Finally, here's an example of a point-and-shoot situation. This pretty accurately represents the kind of photos I get from this phone in everyday usage; decent color representation, but poor white balancing, and poor detail in anything more than 5 feet away -- notice there's no distinguishable focal point -- everything is out of focus.
Barring the sub-standard photo quality, mine is useless in low light situations, due to the purple/pink discoloration of images, and poor focusing. Check out this thread about the issue -- it's pushing 300 pages of replies in just over 4 months.
On the flipside, if you give this lens the tons of natural light that it needs, you're bound to get some excellent shots. I noticed that trend pretty quickly in the photo thread linked above -- outdoor shots are mostly great, indoor shots are mostly terrible (no offense to any of you who contributed to that thread!)
If you were to say you wanted an awesome smart phone that just so happened to take pictures, I'd probably have much better things to say about the device. Since you asked about the camera, I encourage you to avoid it like the plague. It's such a disappointment to me, a guy who has had a lifelong appreciation for cameras and photography, that I began considering my other options only a month into owning the phone. I'm even curious about the Nexus 5, and no one even knows how that camera behaves yet.

If you need a good camera phone for low light (Night) situations then you need a Lumia 92x or above. They are excellent on that department.
The camera is awesome. Just make sure you get a phone with a properly functioning sensor and you'll be blown away. Seriously.

All taken with the HTC One. All by me. I hate seeing people put blame on something when really they just don't take the time to thoroughly learn and use it properly. I mean, It's not a magic box guys, you do have to do some work and learn the settings and different modes and what works best for the situation you're in.. Cheers!

I'm going to post this thread here which extensively (300 pages) covers the issues surrounding this camera. I hope you don't get scared by this and determine that you should avoid the phone, because as @mrrick said, if you get a properly functioning one the results are excellent.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317507
Things to keep in mind:
Around 85% of launch units have this problem.
It seems very unlikely at this point that a software fix will solve the problem and lead to normal pictures.
The only way people have fixed it is by getting a new phone or sensor.
More recent batches may not be affected. The June one I just got as a replacement is excellent.
Try to check the serial number of the phone before hand and look for HT36... or maybe 35 onwards, just not 32,3, or 4 (the second number is the month of manufacture). Of course try the camera before you leave the store too by putting it down on the table - if it has the problem, the screen will turn red.
Other than this, I don't think there are any problems with the camera.
Don't let this put you off, it's an amazing phone you won't regret buying!
I just bought a LG G2 as well and the One takes much better pictures especially in low lighting. The bad thing about it is only 4mp, so when the picture is blown up on a larger screen, the quality of the photo lowers. Not a lot of detail and also sometimes grainy. But on the phone itself, it looks spectacular.

That explains so much!! Whenever I try taking pictures in low light I get a red looking blotch on the screen(always wondered why it was there)...didnt notice any reduction in quality though, but thats probably because i didnt get to take photos on a more recent One..got mine in May
It's funny how people feel the need to lie about taking pictures with a certain camera. The camera with the One is not bad but a lot of other devices are better in this department.
I have one of those early production models (I got mine in May) and have the same problems with the camera. This is my 4th HTC Phone and I have exchanged 2 out of the 4 at this point for design flaws, with this about to be the 4th. They have given me crap (being AT&T) for exchanging the phone for "minor" feature problems that aren't critical to the function of the phone, being the ability to send/receive communications.
If I take my phone to AT&T with proof, are they going to give me crap for trying to exchange it for a replacement? I'm just trying to see if anyone else has this experience, since I'm tired of missing out on shots of my kids. My wife can just whip out her iPhone and take a perfect picture on the first try and it pisses me off.
camera
the camera is really good but the only flaw is when you zoom in images get blurry and if taking pictures outside the sunlight destroys the picture
I love my phone, but I hate the camera. When I was on a GPE ROM I was better off describing things I wanted to take pictures of in 100 words or less. Now that I'm back on a sense ROM people can make out what I'm taking pictures of, but there's so much to be desired.
It seems I am one of the unlucky ones, who by accident break their phones while having it in the pocket. A week after I bought the Z Ultra, I discovered that the phone was bent, i.e. the corners were a couple of millimeters taller than the middle of the phone, which I decided to remedy by bending it back once in a while. But alas, it is broken now.
After looking at the picture, people are probably going to say, that its caused by bumping into something, but I can pretty much rule that out, as I always have the power button on the phone facing my important pants, which means that the screen is facing my left leg. If I bumped into something, then my important parts would hurt as well.
The big question is: are they going to fix it under warranty, or should I fix it myself?

As you can see, the cracks starts beneath the power button, and moves across to where the speaker is. It looks very much like it couldnt handle the stress any more, on the corners?
You've probably bent the frame too much when having it your pants pocket, and it probably couldn't handle the stress at one point and snapped.
Will it be covered by your warranty? I doubt it. Don't you have some insurance?

Yeah, that sounds plausible.
I do have insurance, but I have to pay a deductible of 140€ / $193, or almost 1/5 of the price of a new Z Ultra.

Yeah, that sucks, but do you have any choice? You can either sell it as it is for a very low amount of cash, you can keep the screen cracked and hate your Ultra, or you can invest €140 into it and also get some money back if you're going to sell it down the road.

This happened to me a week ago. I was texting and I had just put it back in my pocket and it vibrated and I went to text the person back and it was cracked and I couldn't do anything. I called the lady that finally sent me a new phone for free the last time my phone broke. This time she told me that this is a problem with the phone and has been happening to many people and I should get it done for free. I hope she is right because I have sent my phone back but I have not heard from sony yet which is not surprising because I had to email the a bijillion times last time to even get a response about my phone that they couldn't fix due to a operating system problem. This has never happened to me with other phones. Don't get me wrong I love my phone and missed it dearly since i sent it back last monday breaking on sunday. I can not wait to get it back because using an old laggy s2 is not fun. Which I have had for 2 years and never had really bad problems with it. Only lags because the rom I use is horrible and cant flash another rom because my recovery doesn't work like it should. Back on topic. I have had this phone since november and it has broke twice. I will be mad if I have to pay anything since i got this new replacement one in december. I will pay what they want me to though but paying 680$ for a phone that breaks every month is not cool. For 680 I should get a phone that last a lifetime. I am considering selling my baby. But I really don't want to even though it breaks a lot. I love it either way. I will update you if I have to pay anything but for now it is in Texas where I sent my old phone back. Ill keep you update.

Im planning to buy a Z Ultra but these issues about suddenly cracking Z Ultra screens are keeping me away. What were you doing when it broke? Maybe you just didn't noticed that you put pressure on it.

If you bought it on a credit card with purchase protection, you might get your credit card company to get you a new one.

I really dont know how you guys do it, I've had the ZU over 6 months dropped it a good few times onto concrete (with and without case), work in a dusty (and sticky) environment, have the ZU bounce around in a truck in 'off road' situations...

Lol mine was in my pocket and the screen shattered. I loved it dont get me wrong but for 680 it better be indestructible.
So as we're in lockdown and allowed 1 daily exercise (in the UK) and I now have this 'massive' phone has anyone purchased an armband for the Ultra? I want to start going out for runs, to keep my fitness up a bit, so I don't turn in to big slob!
The ones I've looked on Amazon atm all seem to have poor reviews, mainly due to being too small for the phone.
Can anyone recommend??

I originally purchased this for my S8+, but it does have enough room for my S20 Ultra with a Ringke Fusion case on (although it's a little snug). So depending on your case size, it may vary, but can confirm it works!

Thanks for the share, I'll have a look to see if Amazon UK have it.
Wish I could find one that has a clear window to interact with the phone without taking it out. The one I have that does kind of work like this, you have to hang around your neck - but I mostly used this in the water park or beach. I'm guessing jogging with that jiggling around would drive one crazy.

Came here to ask exactly the same thing
I found this one but I am not entirely convinced, a few reports of the thing falling off the armband, although most are good reviews.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B072C3SCW6
I found a waistband thing as well and am wondering if this would just be better all round than trying to hang it on my arm, zero chance of it falling off and its easy to get it in and out of it as well. That waistband might not be the best one so I am checking out others at the moment.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sport2People-Running-Belt-USA-Patented/dp/B07D2LGY6S
Other than that the quad lock 'run kit' looks ok but its so expensive I would be scared to go near it in case I dont like it and am stuck with a useless £45 armband. One of the reviews states "because it hangs away from your arm it tends to dangle when you run". I would probably also find this very annoying.
I am leaning towards a waistband type at the moment, I can't see any downsides to it while there are so many potential downsides to anything that goes on your arm, ESPECIALLY with a phone this big.

Thanks for this info, you really have done a lot of ground work!
I think I'm with you on the waistband, it looks the best value and probably comfiest to carry our big phones! Spending £45 is a lot a money IMO, not taking away the quality of it as my boss swears by Quad Lock and I think if you have the case, the car Dock its probably worth it.
Think I may try the waistband.

Yeah the quad lock thing seems quite good if you want a whole system that can work in car/bike etc as well. I was just picking holes in their 30 day money back guarantee as I was thinking about risking it if it was risk free like they claim.... "If you purchase a Quad Lock® product from us and don't like it, you have 30 days to arrange for a return and refund. No questions asked." Except then you go to "learn more" and you get "To be eligible for a return, your item/s must be unused, in the original packaging". So you can't actually see if "you like it" because it has to be unused and in original packaging still. Seems like false advertising to me, giving the impression its all risk free and no questions asked when it clearly isn't.
The only thing that might be a problem with a waistband is if it jumps up and down when you run so I think it cant be a bumbag type that hangs down, it literally needs to be like a belt and the phone goes in the belt so there is nothing to move around when you run. The one I linked is exactly that type but I am not sure an s20 ultra would fit and some of the reviews point to the quality potentially not being very good so I am searching for others that might be better quality but the same sort of design.
Looked at a few and think I am going to go with this one

Hmm that does seem like false advertising! How on earth can it be a no quibble 30 day replacement?
I've gone and ordered the original one you sent the link for and it arrives Thursday, so I'll let you know how it is, but there's a few others that look very similar and from what I saw most reviews have the odd 1 or 2 that say the same. At least with Amazon they are pretty good with refunds, I've never had an issue with an item that's been faulty 12 months later and got a refund.
Like you say its whether the S20 Ultra fits but I think that'll be the same for most as they all seem to accommodate up to 6.5" phone's.
Running belt has arrived @ewokuk I haven't used it yet but I've tried it on with my phone and it fits with the case (plastic clear one) albeit a little bit fiddly, will do the job tho! Thanks for sharing!!

I got the Gorwrich one and that seems fine. phone fits in it but its quite a snug fit, only just fits and thats with no case (fine by me as i dont use a case). I wouldnt go with the gorwrich one if anyone uses a case as it might not quite fit. The belt seems decent quality and fits quite nicely.

Nice! This is a snug fit tbh with this one and I was worried the zip may scratch the phone as it's pretty snug getting it into that part, so will leave my case on the phone.
At least now I can go for a run without my jacket, which with the weather how it is will be a bit more comfortable! :good:

Hello i hope you are well, this is my first post after a long long time i lost my xda and email acc so im writing from my new profile.
I recently got the S23U 512GB the green color something like a month after the release and everything was superb until recently i noticed the camera rattle and by camera rattle i don't mean when you shake it like in some cases i saw on YT and read on google, i read almost everything i could find about previous models and understood the concept of the "camera rattle".
My case i think is a bit different and what bothers me is that i'm the only one that uses-using the phone the phone didn't fall no drop whatsoever so my issue is that the camera moves like if you put a small object (coin,small rock) in a tin can and move it (not shake it) in the same maner i feel something in the phone moving for example phone is in portrait i tilt it to landscape i hear and feel it move and make a "tick" also when the phone is on the table i pick it up and tilt it to my ear to answer a call i hear and feel it the same way and its driving me nuts.
The cameras work fine and when x10 is active the noise-click is harder to notice but is there but i have no issue with them, do you have any idea about this dont know what to do as in my country i don't have samsung retails and don't know what to do...
Ignore it or have it serviced. Not much else you can do...

By service what do you mean? Replace the cameras?
Yes. I would ignore it. Close the cam app when not in use. The cam normally should not be active when using the phone. wtf?
Try in safe mode to try and rule out a rogue 3rd party app.
Try clearing the system cache and cam data.
Try a factory reset. You can try reflashing it but doubt this will resolve it. Contact Samsung.
The micro motors used for optical image stabilization normally make slight sounds.
Never been aware of them on my Androids though.
The lens is supposed to move - that is how it is able to still take very clear focused photos while the user is unable to hold it very still or if the person using the camera is in a moving car on a bumpy road, etc.
I just listened while I shook my phone (S23 Ultra 512GB) a little bit - and I do hear a little 'rattle'. I have never noticed that before.
I am guessing but I would think that all the extra attention given to the camera lately (as it was considerably improved in a lot of ways) that they also updated the ability for the lens to be more sensisitve to movement, and that noise is probably the lens banging against the sides of it's lieelt enclosure. I am surprised however that if that is the case, they did not take this into consideracion and place a softer barrier around the lens so that when it bangs around you would not hear any noise - maybe they missed that in the latest go-around with their overall design changes - ?
I treat my phone like a piece of jewelry almost, only put it into a pocket that is empty, etc. - and so in my case I do not think there would be any issue as it is so very expensive I treat mine with kid gloves. I just got this phone to replace a Note 10+ 5G 512MB that had just started to fail - which I was surprised to note that I had it for 5 years - but got a great trade-in deal for it as it still looked like new.
Now that this has been brought to my attention I will also never really want to shake it at all and might sometimes worry about that... sheesh! (ugh!)
Thoughts - is this the cause of the slight 'rattle' noise? The best way is to walk inito a store where they have doisplay samnples - and just shake one.... If i remember I'll do that one of these days and report back here -

Um... it hasn't been 4 years yet for the N10+; got mine a month after they became available (N975U), it will be 4yo in October.
Shaking the phone won't damage the OIS but a high G impact might. ALWAYS use a good case like the Zizo Bolt to protect these heavy corner hitting, face planting happy phones from falls.
I tested 2 in store and none had this but neither had mine before. As for case i have the UAG plasma case paid 45$ and i think its tough enough but my cameras are fine but sounds crazy the rattle.
Need to mention no need to shake the phone just by moving it left to right or 90° it clicks-rattles
When not using the phone the camera lens will be lose. When I shake my s23 ultra I can hear lose parts from 100x camera lens and this is normal to hear when your not using the camera at all. But once I activate camera app and use x10 the rattle noise goes away.
You are hearing this noise because lens that moves forward and backwards between chip layer and mirror layer is light weight and when camera app is off or not on x10 then you will hear rattle noise from bottom camera lens. By just placing the phone to your ear or shaking it.
So this is not an defect and has been there since s20.

Lol, that's disconcerting. You'd think it have a "parked" position. Nevertheless it's likely normal.
On all my Canon lens with OIS the only time, if ever, you hear them would be when active. On my N10+'s I have never heard a peep from the OIS no matter what I do. Anymore when Samsung makes "improvements" I cringe. It didn't use to be like this...
Hey Sammy how about you design a flagship with the sub chassis layout like the S22U with the spen on the RIGHT side, expandable storage and efficiency that exceeds the N10+'s per mAh. Instead of jamming in heavier, larger, higher capacity batteries that get less SOT than the N10+ (1N975U1).
Can you do that? Or you just going to keep making lame excuses for your dropped balls?

Reason why you didn't hear it on n10+ it is because that phone did not have a 100x zoom lens so which is square one.

It has OIS lense though. Really the cams on the N10+ are more than adequate. Samsung's increasing use of AI image processing is unwanted by many. The airbrushed plastic fb girls love it. Fking toon world. Like I said about Samsung's "improvements" nowadays. They read like a cheat sheet...

When not using the phone the camera lens will be lose. When I shake my s23 ultra I can hear lose parts from 100x camera lens and this is normal to hear when your not using the camera at all. But once I activate camera app and use x10 the rattle noise goes away.
You are hearing this noise because lens that moves forward and backwards between chip layer and mirror layer is light weight and when camera app is off or not on x10 then you will hear rattle noise from bottom camera lens. By just placing the phone to your ear or shaking it.
So this is not an defect and has been there since s20.

If you live in a country where claiming warranty is as easy as getting meal, i suggest to just get a replacement.
I always know that any smartphones that have OIS will have tiny rattle sound when shaked, but not to the point you can hear it, unless you really shake it close to your ear and you really trying hard to listen it,
i just shake my P7P and S23U, and if any, my Pixel "rattle" more. And by "more" , it still hardly noticeable.
So, if it really that noticeable, i suggest return it and get a new one.
Just walk into a store that has the model on display and shake it. If it's the same sound you have no issue.
I can confirm mine has rattle sound. I think it's normal and appear when I really shake the phone. Not when I rotate from portrait to lanscape

Meh, just ignore it for now. It may never cause any operational issues.
