iPhone X is a product favored by many users for its breakthrough in design, configuration, performance... but not everyone has the economic means to buy a brand new 100% device. Therefore, many users choose the solution of purchasing a used iPhone X to save costs. However, nowadays, there are many types of used devices with different qualities and prices. Below are the essential tips and experiences in buying a used iPhone X that readers need to choose for themselves the best-quality used iPhone X.
TIPS FOR BUYING A USED IPHONE X
1. Check the Exterior of the iPhone X
Typically, used products may have minor scratches or dust in the speaker, charging port, which is unavoidable but does not significantly affect the product's quality. We need to check if the device is dented or dented because devices that have been dropped or collided may have damaged internal components that we may not be aware of. However, you should check if the screws are intact, showing no signs of being removed. It is best to choose a device that is still original and has not been disassembled or repaired. This is also the easiest part to check, and if overlooked, you may regret it later for your carelessness.
2. Test the Display of a Used iPhone X
Checking the display is also a crucial step when buying a used iPhone, so we need to carefully inspect and pay attention to 2 main points: touch sensitivity and dead pixels.
- Touch Sensitivity: Press and hold any icon on the home screen, move it around the screen, and if the icon 'slips' during the test, the screen has a touch sensitivity issue, and naturally, you should not buy this device.
- Dead Pixels: Go to YouTube and search for the keyword Blackscreen test, if there are dead pixels on the screen, we will easily notice them in the 2 clips.
How to Test a Used iPhone X
Furthermore, screen replacement is a common occurrence with used phone products. To minimize this and ensure that the screen is original, we can take a piece of white adhesive tape and stick it on the screen. If you lift the tape without much resistance, the screen is genuine; however, if it's difficult to peel off, the screen has been replaced.
3. Speaker, Mic, and Sensors on a Used iPhone X
After the main checks, now is the time to examine smaller details such as the earpiece speaker, camera, and accessories that come with the device:
- Make a call or receive a call to check the quality of the earpiece speaker
- Play music or a video to test the quality of the external speaker
- Open the camera app to check the quality of the front camera, rear camera, and autofocus capability
- Plug in the device's accessories including: charging cable, charger, earphones, etc., to see if they are recognized and functioning normally.

Furthermore, readers should check the device's connectivity capabilities including: mobile network signal, Wi-Fi signal to see if they are stable. Because used iPhones, especially those with replaced casings, often encounter many signal issues, causing significant obstacles during usage.
4. Sensitivity of Physical Buttons on iPhone X
With this new version, the iPhone X no longer has a physical Home button or force sensor like previous generations, instead, it features a touch Home button. Therefore, you need to check other basic physical buttons such as volume and Power because after prolonged use, they tend to become unresponsive. So, if you want to choose a used iPhone X, you need to press multiple times to see if the sensitivity and response of the physical buttons are still good.
5. Check iCloud on iPhone X
Finally, you should check iCloud on the device because if a used iPhone X is already set up with an iCloud account that isn't yours, the likelihood of that iPhone becoming a 'brick' is very high, and the risk of losing it entirely is unavoidable. Because iCloud is the tool for securing important information for the iPhone and is likened to the device's lock. Therefore, you can quickly check if the used iPhone X you're about to buy is linked to iCloud by referring to the article on how to check hidden iCloud, which we have previously shared.
