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 Xperia 10 issues we check at inspection
- Screen burn-in. The Sony Xperia 10 uses an IPS LCD display, which is less prone to burn-in than OLED. However, prolonged static image display can still lead to ghosting or image persistence.
- Battery degradation. The 2870mAh battery is relatively small by modern standards and will show significant degradation after 2-3 years of use, leading to poor battery life.
- Cracked or damaged screen. The Gorilla Glass 5 offers some protection, but drops can still lead to cracks or spiderwebbing on the display.
- Faulty charging port. The USB-C port can become loose, damaged, or corroded, leading to intermittent charging or failure to charge.
- Weak or non-functional speakers. The stereo speakers can develop issues with volume or clarity due to dust ingress or component failure.
- Camera module issues. Focusing problems, blurry images, or complete camera failure can occur.
