Common Pixel 5 issues we check at inspection
- Screen burn-in on OLED display. Ghost images from status bar, navigation buttons, or keyboard visible on OLED panels after extended use. Common on Pixel devices with OLED screens.
- Battery degradation below 80% health. Original battery showing <80% maximum capacity after 2+ years of use. Expected for a 2020 device.
- Minor cosmetic wear on aluminum frame/back. Scratches, scuffs, or small dents on the aluminum frame or the bio-resin finished back, typical for daily use.
- Fingerprint sensor intermittent or non-functional. The under-display fingerprint sensor can become less responsive or stop working entirely over time.
