Condition guide

How we grade every device that comes in, in plain English.

Condition	What it means
Flawless	No scratches or scuffs anywhere. Screen and body look like new. Fully working, no cracks.
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 A72 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. The A72 uses an AMOLED panel which is susceptible to this.
Battery degradation below 80% health. The 5000mAh battery, while large, will naturally degrade over time. Listings often indicate 'used' condition with reduced battery life.
Minor cosmetic damage to plastic frame/back. The plastic frame and back are prone to scuffs, scratches, and minor dents from everyday use, especially if not used with a case.
Cracked or damaged screen. While the Gorilla Glass 5 offers some protection, drops can still lead to cracked or severely scratched screens, often leading to 'AS-IS' listings.
Faulty charging port. The USB-C port can become loose or fail to charge due to debris or wear, a common issue in older phones.
Water damage indicators tripped. Despite the IP67 rating, sellers might list phones 'AS-IS' due to potential water damage, though this is less common than other issues.
