[POCO F8 Pro] Weird springy/hollow rattle when tapping the back AND front screen (Video). Normal OIS?

Hi everyone,

​I recently got a POCO F8 Pro and I'm still within my return window, so I want to make sure my unit is fine.

​As you can hear in the video, when I gently tap this specific area on the back, it makes a weird "springy" or "hollow" rattle.

​Interestingly, I hear the exact same sound even when I tap the front screen (on the area corresponding to the camera module). It sounds very different from tapping other parts of the phone.

​Is this just the normal behavior of a large OIS (Optical Image Stabilization) module moving around inside, or could it be a manufacturing defect? Does your F8 Pro make this same rattle when you tap both the front and back?

​Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

As you can see in the photos, a piece of paper can slide slightly under the camera ring. Also, when I press the ring, it feels like it presses in and bounces back slightly. The camera glass is also slightly recessed. Is this a manufacturing defect or just normal tolerance? I have no issues taking photos, by the way.
