Common Sony Xperia 1 II 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 Xperia 1 II's OLED panel is susceptible to this over time.
  • Battery degradation below 80% health. Original battery showing <80% maximum capacity after 2+ years of use. This is typical for most phones of this age, including the Xperia 1 II.
  • Camera module issues (autofocus, stabilization). Mechanical or electronic failures within the camera modules, leading to blurry photos, autofocus problems, or OIS malfunctions. The complex camera system on the Xperia 1 II can be prone to these issues.
  • Water damage indicators tripped. Despite its IP65/IP68 rating, water damage can occur, especially on used devices where seals may have degraded. Sellers may not disclose this, but it's a risk.
  • Cracked screen or back glass. Physical damage to the Gorilla Glass 6 front or back, often due to drops. This is a very common issue for any glass-bodied phone.
  • USB-C port issues (charging, data transfer). Wear and tear on the USB-C port can lead to unreliable charging or data transfer. Lint accumulation is also common.
