  • When it comes to battery, I would actually do the contrary, the lower the battery health is, the better, that could potentially mean that seller has nothing to hide and hasn't "pimped" his phone before selling. Battery swap is cheap and it's better to do it yourself (or take to trusted repair shop) than rely on the phone's seller.

  • Most importantly make sure the phone is fully paid off and ALWAYS check to see in the settings-general-about under carrier lock and make sure it says “no sim restrictions” next to it to make sure the phone is fully unlocked. Most likely 100% of the time when you see this it’s fully paid off and not on a payment plan because carriers will not unlock your phone unless it’s full paid off. Other than that these tips are awesome and I always check like this when buying a used phone.

  • I’ve bought phones from people in the past cause usually they are cheaper than getting them at a store but this time i was lucky enough to buy from a store and i’m grateful and thankful for that, cause you never know with buying a used phone from a person what can happen. The phone may have some issues that the person didn’t tell you about or something might be wrong who knows

  • When checking the battery you don't want to just look at the health because sometimes it is inaccurate. What you want to do is check the battery Maximum FCC (max capacity the battery had when produced ) and Nominal Charge Capacity ( current battery capacity). Convert the ratio of them into a percentage and that will give you the true battery capacity
