Each smartphone is made up of hundreds of more or less small components that fit together and, precisely due to the large number of “pieces” from which a phone is made, it can happen that by shaking it you can hear annoying “noises” or even worrying.
Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro are not an exception to this rule but, as with other smartphones, hearing noises when you shake a phone does not necessarily mean that there is some component broken.
Don’t worry about your Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro
On the Net, there are several reports of users who hear noises when they shake Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro and fear that there may be something wrong but this is not always the case, indeed often the cause of such “clicking” is from search in the rear photographic compartment.
In particular, the two Google smartphones can count on a camera with optical image stabilizer (or, more simply, OIS), a solution that allows you to keep the sensor still during the acquisition of an image and this even if the user was making small movements with his hand.
In practice, for every movement perceived by the Google Pixel 6 or Pixel 6 Pro, the OIS sensor will try to respond with another opposite movement, in order to try to keep the camera lens still .
When you shake one of Google’s new smartphones, often the noise you hear is that of the OIS sensor that hits the walls of its casing (given the small size of smartphones, it is not possible to insert this sensor in a very large space. wide to better cushion movements).
On the Pro version, this noise is even stronger and this is because it is equipped with a telephoto lens (which requires that the OIS be even more sensitive, since the more you physically enlarge the image, the more the image quality is affected by movements. ) which is hit if the device is shaken.
