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 Ultra issues we check at inspection
- Screen burn-in on Dynamic AMOLED 2X display. Ghost images from status bar icons, navigation gestures, or keyboard visible on the large, high-resolution OLED panel after extended use.
- Battery degradation below 80% health. The large battery, while powerful, shows significant capacity loss after 2-3 years of heavy usage, common in flagship devices.
- S Pen silo mechanism failure. The internal mechanism for storing and ejecting the S Pen can become loose, sticky, or break, making the S Pen difficult to access or secure.
- Camera lens micro-scratches. The multiple camera lenses, while protected, are prone to fine scratches from everyday use, potentially affecting image quality.
- USB-C port wear and tear. Frequent charging and data transfer can lead to a loose or damaged USB-C port, causing intermittent charging or data connectivity issues.
- Overheating under heavy load. The powerful processor can lead to thermal throttling and overheating during intensive tasks like gaming or 8K video recording, especially in warmer environments.
