I need to get a second phone for work. I’m set on a galaxy as I’m really interested in dex mode.

How is getting an s22 used these days? Are there any common problems I should be on the lookout for? Also, the battery health in some screenshots shows 32%, etc. does that mean the battery needs to be replaced right away? This will be my first Android.

    32% battery health is impressive. I have phones that have kept on a charger for 4 years straight with better battery health. How the hell did they manage that?

      I’m guessing it’s a faulty battery. I’m in a third world country and there is a large electronics resell market. They also do all kind of repairs there with after market parts. So who knows😅

        I don’t even know what you could do to make the battery that awful that quickly and not be physically damaged. Like I’m legitimately baffled.

        Maybe someone left it baking in the sun it’s entire life? I’ve never tried leaving batteries at like 140f (60c) all day. Honestly I’d really like to know how it’s physically possible.
