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 Z Flip issues we check at inspection
- Inner screen crease wear/damage. The crease on the foldable screen can develop micro-cracks or wear over time, especially with frequent opening/closing, leading to display artifacts or dead pixels.
- Outer screen unresponsive or cracked. The smaller external display can be prone to cracks from drops or develop touch input issues.
- Hinge mechanism stiffness or failure. The folding hinge can become stiff, difficult to open/close, or fail entirely, preventing proper screen alignment.
- Battery degradation. As with most phones, especially after 2-3 years, the 3300mAh battery will show significant wear, leading to shorter battery life.
- Charging port issues. The USB-C port can become loose, dirty, or fail, leading to intermittent or no charging.
- Software glitches/performance lag. Older software versions or heavy usage can lead to slowdowns, app crashes, or general unresponsiveness.
