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 S20+ issues we check at inspection

Screen burn-in on Dynamic AMOLED 2X display. Ghosting from static UI elements like navigation bars or status icons is common on OLED panels, especially with prolonged use. The S20 series is susceptible.
Battery degradation. After 3-4 years, the 4500mAh battery commonly shows significant wear, often falling below 80% health, leading to shorter battery life.
Cracked screen or back glass. The Gorilla Glass 6 is durable but not indestructible. Drops can lead to cracks on the front or back glass, common in used listings.
Camera module issues. Focusing problems, dust under the lens, or malfunctioning shutters can occur, particularly with the multiple rear cameras.
Charging port issues. The USB-C port can become loose, corroded, or damaged, leading to intermittent charging or data transfer problems.
Overheating. Some users report the device can overheat during intensive tasks or charging, potentially impacting performance and longevity.
