Condition guide

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 S25 issues we check at inspection

Screen burn-in on Dynamic AMOLED 2X display. Ghost images from status bar icons, navigation gestures, or keyboard remain visible on the OLED panel after extended use, especially with static elements.
Battery degradation below 80% health. The original battery shows significantly reduced maximum capacity after 2-3 years of typical usage, leading to shorter screen-on time.
Minor frame scuffs and scratches. The aluminum or stainless steel frame can develop minor scuffs, dings, or scratches from everyday pocket carry and accidental drops.
Camera lens micro-scratches. The external camera lenses can accumulate fine scratches from contact with keys or abrasive surfaces, potentially affecting image clarity.
Charging port debris or wear. The USB-C port can accumulate lint and dust, leading to intermittent charging or data transfer issues. Port wear can also occur.
FRP (Factory Reset Protection) lock. Device is locked to a previous Google account and cannot be set up without the original credentials, rendering it unusable.
