When it comes to replacing the screen of your beloved iPhone X, navigating through the array of options can be confusing. With choices like OEM NEW, AA Grade, Aftermarket Flexible OLED, Aftermarket Rigid OLED, Aftermarket In-cell, and Aftermarket LCD, finding the right screen can be a daunting task. But fret not, because we’re here to help you make an informed decision. In this comprehensive comparison, REWA LAB explores the intricacies of these iPhone X screens to guide you in choosing the best one for your needs.
Understanding the iPhone X Screen Variants
Let’s begin by understanding the six different iPhone X screens available in the market:
- OEM NEW
- AA Grade (Original OLED assembled by a third-party factory)
- Aftermarket Flexible OLED
- Aftermarket Rigid OLED
- Aftermarket In-cell
- Aftermarket LCD
The Contenders
Among these options, AA Grade, Aftermarket Flexible OLED, and Aftermarket Rigid OLED stand out as they share a similar structure with the OEM NEW screen. This results in relatively stable quality and performance. AA Grade, in particular, closely mirrors the function stability of the OEM NEW screen as it’s made from original OLED components.
However, after rigorous testing conducted by REWA LAB, it was evident that the Aftermarket In-cell iPhone X screen exhibited relatively low brightness levels, ranging from 250cd/㎡ to 420cd/㎡. The bonding area of the bottom ICs also overheated during use, significantly impacting the user experience. Similarly, the Aftermarket LCD screen featured a brightness of 300cd/㎡, poor backlight uniformity, and LCD display quality. Due to these shortcomings, REWA does not recommend the Aftermarket In-cell and Aftermarket LCD screens.
Consequently, our top recommendations are AA Grade, Aftermarket Flexible OLED, and Aftermarket Rigid OLED. Let’s delve into the comparison test results to help you make an informed choice.
