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 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.

- Yours to spend anywhere, no strings
- We beat any competitor’s written quote by $2
- Spread over 24 to 36 monthly bill credits
- Only if you buy a new phone and stay on plan
