Common Pixel 5a 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. The Pixel 5A uses an OLED panel.
- Battery degradation below 80% health. Original 4680mAh battery showing <80% maximum capacity after 2+ years of use, leading to shorter battery life.
- Cracked or damaged screen. Physical damage to the Gorilla Glass 3 front, often from drops. This can range from minor cracks to complete display failure.
- Water damage indicators tripped. Despite IP67 rating, prolonged submersion or high-pressure water can cause internal damage. Sellers may not always disclose this.
- Fingerprint sensor malfunction. The rear-mounted fingerprint sensor can become unresponsive or fail over time due to dust ingress or hardware failure.
- Charging port issues. USB-C port can accumulate debris or wear out, leading to slow charging or failure to charge.
