Common Galaxy Note 20 Ultra issues we check at inspection

  • Screen burn-in on Dynamic AMOLED 2X display. Ghost images from status bar icons, navigation gestures, or keyboard are visible on the OLED panel, especially noticeable on lighter backgrounds.
  • Battery degradation. The 4500mAh battery capacity has significantly reduced after 2-3 years of use, leading to shorter battery life.
  • S Pen functionality issues. The S Pen may have connectivity problems, reduced responsiveness, or not be recognized by the device.
  • Camera module defects. Focusing issues, lens smudges, or internal hardware failures within the complex camera system.
  • Cracked screen or back glass. Damage to the Gorilla Glass Victus front or back, often from drops. This is a very common cosmetic and functional defect.
  • Charging port issues. The USB-C port may be loose, damaged, or not charging reliably due to debris or wear.
