At inspection
Common Motorola Edge (2021) issues we check at inspection
- Screen scratches and micro-abrasions. The Gorilla Glass 3 on the front is prone to scratching with everyday use, especially if not using a screen protector.
- Battery health significantly degraded. The 5000mAh battery, while large, will show significant wear after 2-3 years, often falling below 80% health, leading to shorter usage times.
- Minor cosmetic damage to plastic frame/back. The plastic build materials can develop scuffs, scratches, or minor dents from drops or regular handling.
- Water damage indicator triggered (IP52). While rated IP52 for splash resistance, prolonged exposure or submersion can lead to internal corrosion or component failure, often indicated by a triggered water damage sticker.
- Fingerprint sensor unresponsiveness. The under-display fingerprint sensor can become less reliable or stop working due to software glitches or hardware wear.
- USB-C charging port issues. Lint accumulation or wear on the USB-C port can lead to slow charging, intermittent connection, or failure to charge.
