A verified buyer review on Samsung's Finnish store page reports the battery drains too quickly and the screen does not wake when a call comes in.
What to check. Owners report noticeably fast drain despite the 5000 mAh cell, plus a screen-not-waking quirk on calls. If battery life is a priority, verify the unit's behavior early in the return window.

A UK repair-parts shop's diagnostic guide states coloured vertical lines on the A15 mean the AMOLED panel is damaged and the whole display assembly must be swapped.
What to check. If a green/pink/white line appears, software fixes won't help; the display assembly must be replaced. Budget for a screen replacement cost if this happens outside warranty.

Kriko reads a listing and tells you which of these apply to that exact product. It runs on your computer, needs no account and is free.
These reports come from the pages linked under each item: owner forums, repair guides and workshops. They are not a diagnosis of any one unit, and a careful check of the one you are buying still applies.
