Common Galaxy A52 issues we check at inspection

  • Screen burn-in on Super AMOLED display. Ghost images from status bar, navigation buttons, or keyboard visible on the Super AMOLED panel after extended use.
  • Battery degradation below 80% health. The 4500mAh battery showing significantly reduced maximum capacity after 2-3 years of typical use.
  • Cracked or damaged screen. Physical damage to the Gorilla Glass 5 front, often from drops, leading to cracks or touch unresponsiveness.
  • Water damage indicators tripped. Despite IP67 rating, internal water damage indicators may have tripped due to submersion or prolonged exposure, affecting internal components.
  • Charging port issues. Wear and tear on the USB-C port leading to intermittent charging or data transfer problems.
  • Camera module defects. Specific camera lenses (e.g., ultrawide or macro) may develop focus issues, dust ingress, or become non-functional.
