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.
