Common OnePlus 8 issues we check at inspection

  • Screen burn-in on Fluid AMOLED display. Ghosting from persistent UI elements like the status bar or navigation gestures on the AMOLED panel.
  • Battery degradation. Original battery capacity significantly reduced after 3+ years of use, leading to shorter battery life.
  • Cracked screen or back glass. Gorilla Glass 5 is durable but can still crack from drops, especially on the edges or corners.
  • Charging port issues. USB-C port can become loose, dirty, or damaged, leading to intermittent charging or data transfer problems.
  • Software glitches or performance slowdown. Older software versions or accumulated data can lead to lag, app crashes, or general unresponsiveness.
  • Camera module issues. Main or ultrawide camera lens may have scratches, or the autofocus mechanism could fail.
