Common Galaxy Note 20 issues we check at inspection
- Screen burn-in on Super AMOLED Plus display. Ghost images from status bar, navigation buttons, or keyboard visible on the OLED panel after extended use, common on devices with static UI elements.
- Battery degradation below 80% health. The 4300mAh battery showing significantly reduced maximum capacity after 2-3 years of typical use, leading to shorter battery life.
- S Pen malfunction or loss. The integrated S Pen may be damaged, unresponsive, or missing entirely, which is a key feature of the Note series.
- Cosmetic wear on aluminum frame. Scratches, dings, or scuffs on the aluminum frame due to normal handling and pocket wear, especially around the edges.
- Cracked or damaged screen glass. The Gorilla Glass 5 front can develop cracks or chips from drops, even if the display underneath is still functional.
- Camera lens scratches or damage. Scratches on the rear camera lenses can affect photo quality. The large camera bump is also prone to impact.
