Common Xperia 5 IV 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 OLED devices with prolonged static image display.
- Battery degradation below 80% health. Original battery showing <80% maximum capacity after 2+ years of use. This is a standard wear item for all lithium-ion batteries.
- Minor frame scratches or scuffs. Aluminum frame is prone to micro-scratches and scuffs from daily use, especially on corners and edges.
- Cracked rear glass. The Gorilla Glass Victus back can crack if dropped, especially on impact with corners.
- Water damage indicators tripped. Despite IP65/IP68 rating, prolonged submersion or high-pressure water can compromise seals, leading to internal corrosion.
- FRP (Factory Reset Protection) lock. Device is locked to a previous Google account, preventing setup without credentials. Common in 'AS-IS' listings where sellers don't reset properly.
