It happens for almost all devices - its a known issue. Even after replacement the camera rattle continues. Try to reboot your phone and keep the camera near your ear, you will hear the camera lens being moved - indicating that Samsung knows very well...

I had the same problems. Just change camera part to the new one or buy stolen goods with best price. Cmiiw

My phone has started heating up a lot during the summer. At one point it was so hot that it was difficult to touch the phone and I had to turn it off since I was worried it might get damaged.
