At inspection

Common Xperia XZ2 issues we check at inspection

  • Screen burn-in/ghosting. The XZ2 uses an IPS LCD, not OLED, so true burn-in is less common. However, ghosting or image persistence can occur on LCDs with static images displayed for long periods.
  • Battery degradation. As a 2018 device, the 3180mAh battery is likely to have significantly degraded capacity, leading to poor battery life.
  • Water damage indicators tripped. Despite the IP68 rating, water damage can occur, especially on older devices where seals may have degraded. Sellers may not disclose this unless it causes functional issues.
  • Cracked rear glass. The Gorilla Glass 5 back, while durable, can crack from drops or pressure, especially if the phone is placed on uneven surfaces.
  • USB-C port issues. Wear and tear on the USB-C port can lead to charging problems or data transfer issues.
  • Camera module issues. Focusing problems, dust under the lens, or image stabilization failures can occur with the main camera.

Your Xperia XZ2 offer is paid as real cash you can spend anywhere. A carrier “trade-in” of a similar size is bill credit spread over 24 to 36 months, and only while you buy a new phone and stay on their plan.
