Hey! Learning how to inspect stuff properly can be a game-changer. I started with just my phone camera too, but honestly, a cheap magnifying glass or even a USB microscope (like the ones on Amazon for $20) makes a HUGE difference.
For step-by-step, I always do:
1. Clean the thing first (dust messes with inspection).
2. Good lighting—natural light or a bright LED.
3. Start broad, then zoom in on details.
Common mistake? Rushing. Take your time! Also, check out this vid on how to inspect like a pro: [YouTube link]. Helped me tons.
