| Good | Light, minor scratches or scuffs from normal use, none deep. No cracks or dents. Fully working. |
| Fair | Heavier scratches, scuffs, or a small dent, but no cracks in the glass or screen. Fully working. |
| Cracked screen | Cracked or chipped screen or back glass, but it still powers on and the touchscreen works. |
| Broken | Powers on but has a fault, a bad display, or a part not working (camera, buttons, Face ID). |
| Won't power on | Won't turn on or hold a charge. We still buy it for parts. |
At inspection
Common Galaxy A14 issues we check at inspection
- Screen scratches or cracks. The PLS LCD display is prone to scratches from everyday use, and cracks can occur from drops. Sellers often list these as 'scratched screen' or 'cracked screen'.
- Battery health significantly degraded. As a budget device with a large battery, users may experience faster degradation. Listings often mention 'poor battery life' or 'needs new battery'.
- Charging port issues. The USB-C port can become loose, dirty, or damaged, leading to intermittent charging or data transfer problems. Sellers might describe it as 'won't charge' or 'loose charging port'.
- Cosmetic wear on plastic frame and back. The plastic build is susceptible to scuffs, scratches, and dents, especially around the edges and on the back panel. This is typical for used budget phones.
- Speaker or microphone defects. Intermittent or complete failure of the earpiece speaker, loudspeaker, or microphones can occur due to dust ingress or component failure.
- Software glitches or FRP lock. Phones may have persistent software bugs, or be Factory Reset Protection (FRP) locked, preventing setup without the original Google account credentials.
