Common Galaxy S22 issues we check at inspection

  • Screen burn-in on Dynamic AMOLED 2X display. Ghost images from status bar, navigation buttons, or keyboard visible on OLED panels after extended use. Common on Samsung devices with AMOLED screens.
  • Battery degradation below 80% health. Original 3700mAh battery showing <80% maximum capacity after 2+ years of use, leading to significantly reduced daily usage time.
  • Cracked or damaged screen glass. The Gorilla Glass Victus+ front can still crack from drops, leading to spiderweb cracks or chips. May or may not affect touch functionality.
  • Water damage indicators tripped. Despite IP68 rating, liquid damage can occur, often indicated by tripped internal liquid contact indicators. May cause corrosion or component failure.
  • FRP (Factory Reset Protection) lock. Device is locked to a Google account and cannot be set up without the original credentials, rendering it unusable if not unlocked by the seller.
  • Cosmetic wear on aluminum frame. The aluminum frame is prone to scratches, scuffs, and minor dents from normal use and handling.
