Common Galaxy S22 Ultra 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, especially with static elements.
  • Battery degradation below 80% health. The 5000mAh battery capacity has significantly reduced after 2+ years of typical use, leading to shorter battery life.
  • S Pen functionality issues. The integrated S Pen may have connectivity problems, reduced responsiveness, or not charge properly within the device silo.
  • Camera lens micro-scratches. The individual camera lenses, particularly the main and ultrawide, can develop fine scratches from everyday use, affecting photo clarity.
  • Frame cosmetic damage (aluminum). The aluminum frame is prone to dings, scratches, and scuffs, especially around the edges and corners, due to its material.
  • Charging port issues. The USB-C port may become loose, corroded, or fail to charge reliably due to dust ingress or wear.
