Condition guide
How we grade every device that comes in, in plain English.

|---|---|
| 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 Tab S8 issues we check at inspection
- Screen scratches or cracks. The Gorilla Glass 5 is durable but not immune to scratches from keys or drops. Cracked screens are common in AS-IS listings.
- Battery degradation. The 8000mAh battery, after 2+ years, often shows significant wear, leading to shorter battery life. Sellers may not test or disclose exact health.
- Minor cosmetic damage (dings, scuffs). Aluminum frame and back can show dents, scuffs, and scratches from normal use or drops.
- FRP (Factory Reset Protection) lock. Device locked to a previous Google account, rendering it unusable without credentials. Common in AS-IS listings.
- Non-functional S Pen functionality. The S Pen may be lost, damaged, or the digitizer in the screen may have issues preventing S Pen input.
- Speaker or microphone issues. Dust ingress or damage can lead to muffled or non-functional speakers/microphones.
