Common Galaxy S21+ issues we check at inspection
- Screen burn-in on Dynamic AMOLED 2X display. Ghost images from status bar icons, navigation gestures, or keyboard impressions visible on the OLED panel after prolonged use. The S21 series, while improved, is still susceptible.
- Battery degradation below 80% health. The 4800mAh battery, after 2-3 years of typical use, often shows significant capacity loss, leading to shorter battery life.
- Cracked or damaged screen glass. The Gorilla Glass Victus front, while durable, can still crack from drops. Listings often mention spiderweb cracks or chips.
- Cosmetic damage to Glasstic back. The 'Glasstic' (plastic) back is prone to scratches, scuffs, and micro-cracks, especially around the edges and camera housing.
- Faulty charging port or USB-C issues. The USB-C port can become loose, damaged, or clogged with debris, leading to intermittent or failed charging.
- Camera module issues. Focus problems, lens smudges, or internal damage to the camera sensors can occur, especially after drops.
