Broken Rear Glass, Swapping The Full Housing?

I have an iPhone X, space grey, 256gb. I’m sure some others have the same problem I am having with replacing the rear glass. That being said, I know the easier way to fix this is swapping the full housing. I am looking into doing the project and found a site where they sell the full housing and everything is already mounted up. I guess it’s a used iPhone X and maybe the motherboard was messed up. If I buy this, are only my motherboard and Face ID sensors needed to be swapped over or are there other parts that will need to be swapped as well?

How did the back cover turn out? I'm looking to buy a similar product from the same seller.

I never got around to buying it but I did do more research and found that the only components you have to switch over are the Front Camera, Logic Board, and the screen. Everything else can stay in the phone. So, what I would very highly recommend is to buy one with the battery, taptic engine, and all the other components already in the phone. This is less of a mess and a lot easier to do. Instead of a 3-5 hour job, it could be a 30 minute to 1 hour job. Something like this posting here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/100-Authentic-A...

I guess that depends on what’s included in the replacement housing. Post a link to the housing and I can give you more info.

Keep in mind though that the antennas are built into the housing itself so if this is an aftermarket housing, it may suffer from poorer reception. Check out reviews of the product or vendor and due a bit of due diligence. If they don’t specifically say it is original, then it probably isn’t.

Here's the link. It looks to original.

Yeah, this looks good and you will only need to transfer the board, screen and Front Camera.
