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.
