There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!

Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.

I have a friend who posts stable videos while he's walking around and I asked him how he did it because I can't find a gimbal for my phone that actually works, he said there's a stabilizer built into his phone. I'm not close enough to ask him again what kind of phone he has. Do you know?

update: So I googled it and hey my phone is on the list of Phones that have OIS (thanx @M137@lemm.ee), I have a Samsung S21 Ultra which appeared on the list of phones that offer video stabilization. So I checked my video camera settings, and video stabilization is already turned on, So if my phone has this, why are my videos always so shakey when I'm walking?

Thank you Yes xiaomi came up at the top of every list of phones that have this, I've never heard of xiaomi and I'm leery of China because they love spying on everything. Anybody else leery about exclusively-Chinese smartphones? I've got this fear instilled in me because as early as 2019 I was warned when Huawei became a thing, to never buy those because Spy! Spy! Spy!

I wouldn't personally buy a Chinese phone. Articles like this one make it clear that they're willing to put spyware in their products on a large scale.
