Common Galaxy A21s issues we check at inspection

  • Screen damage (cracks, deep scratches). The PLS TFT display is prone to cracking or deep scratching from drops or impacts, especially given the plastic frame.
  • Battery health significantly degraded. The large 5000mAh battery, while good initially, often shows significant wear after 2-3 years, leading to poor battery life.
  • Charging port issues. The USB-C port can become loose, dirty, or damaged, leading to intermittent or no charging.
  • Software glitches or performance issues. Older devices may experience lag, app crashes, or failure to update due to aging hardware and software.
  • Cosmetic wear on plastic back and frame. The plastic build is susceptible to scuffs, scratches, and discoloration from regular use and handling.
  • Camera module issues. Dust ingress into the camera lens or internal hardware faults can affect photo quality.
